Prince's Sleep | Taegyu ✔︎

•Chapter XVIII:Control over things•

Kai?

Soobin couldn't believe what it was in front of his eyes.Kai was standing like a statue,being covered in thick ice.
This can't be real.

The servant approached slowly,still glaring at Kai.Perhaps it was an accident.Soobin cupped the servant cheeks,breathing heavily from the shock.

When he looked closer at the scene,Soobin realised that Kai tried to protect Yuqi.But the reality being devastated,with Kai frozen,sacrificed his life for the girl.

The servant remained without words.All his body was trembling,and his cheeks were a shade of pink because of the cold.

The moments he spent with the two were sadly.Soobin was feeling like someone drowned him into a dark blue ocean without an ending.

"Do you like it?"

Soobin frozen after hearing a raspy voice spoke behind him.He turned back,just to visualize the witch,who was having a smirk on her face.

"W-why did you do this?!"Soobin was extremely flustered,shouting aggressive.

The witch just laughed,moving forward to a corner of the room.A frozen chair was resting there,along with other ice objects.The chair looked exactly like a throne.

The witch approached it and sat down,glaring at Soobin, who was glaring with a mix of emotions on his face into her eyes.

With a last glare at Kai and Yuqi,the witch decided to speak,turning her gaze towards Soobin.

"Where is your other friend?...Did you came here by alone?"

No response.

The witch laughed loudly,and that made Soobin flich.

"And you believe that you can destroy me?"

Soobin tried to express a courageous look,but indeed,fear covered him more.

"I know you stole something from my garden.The 'Ice Rose',right?..."

"I am not going to give it to you!"The servant shouted.

"That will doesn't work if you want to break the curse."

How did she know about it?

Soobin was surprised hearing the witch words.

"We will make a pact.You will give me the rose,and I will release your frozen friend,hm?"

Soobin furrowed his brows.

"And what about the curse?"

The witch cliked her tongue,thinking deeply.

"I will break the curse with one condition!"

The servant remained still as a stone,not daring to move a finger.

"What kind of condition?..."Soobin asked slowly.

"If you will kill the Earth Kingdom prince,I will bless the Ice Kingdom,breaking the curse."

♤

Move Taehyun!Soobin is in danger!

Taehyun was trying to walk,but his wound was dragging him back.Thightening his teeth,he took a step forward full of pain.

"Ack!"

After walking some more steps,he immediately lost his balance,falling into the snow.The prince struggled to get up,then tried to walk again.
