The Untold

Chapter 12

15h45 - Busan Palace

My boots clicked on the stone cold floor as I stepped outside the perfectly beige cleaned pavement outside other property of the Empire.

The whole ride to Busan hadn't been too long or bad, since I'd the opportunity to ride on a car along with the rest of the security, but as soon as I dropped my eyes upon the insane sight of the Palace ahead of me, I felt a shiver down my spine.

From Y/N's warning, added to my personally found information, I'd realised the importance of the meeting.

The importance of the people they were meeting.

But as I took advantage of the oldish looking Palace, perfectly hidden in the outsides of the city and surrounded by enough field for a completely scammed meeting, I knew for sure Y/N was waiting for something bad to happen.

Standing tall and grandiosely, the pinkish palace shinned to the sunlight of the day, hitting its huge windows, surrounded by white carefully sculptured figures. The gardens around the building appeared well taken care of, as it stood in the middle of a small forest, such as all the other properties I'd been on, instead this one had such a thick coverage and width it might have been impossible to know for sure its limit.

The entrance of the house consisted of a big fountain, which from water fell gracefully, just in front of the big staircase, with two ways, from where it was possible to enter the building.

Y/N and Taehyung left their car soon after, not boring to take a single glance at the magnificent sight.

The inside was just as graceful as the outside. With its tall ceilings and well restored walls and furniture, its rooms were compared to a scene in movies, such as the Camorra's Villa. The house had been carefully taken care of and surely passed through generations, as a beautiful memory of the ancient origins of the family.

Even if I knew the plant of the house and had been studied it for the last two days, I'd never seen such a beauty old place so well preserved.

'Everything is settled Miss' the butler intervened, coming forward with a perfectly chosen attire, greyish moustache exceptionally trimmed 'Both the table and the meeting room are ready and the dinner is being made by the chef'

Y/N nodded, satisfied. I hadn't seen her ever since she'd strolled inside my room in secret, but even if two days had passed, she held the same nervousness in her quietness and strained posture.

Taehyung, on the other hand, standing with his both rigid and calm temper on his casual elegant clothes, seemed as careless as usual, not minding the event at all.

Everyone was dismissed for preparation, but as I stepped down the hallway along with the rest of the workers, I felt Y/N's gaze on me, asking for me to stop.

When my eyes met hers, I could see the flicker of worry on her orbs.

'Have you done what I asked you?'

A small grin threatened to appear on the side of my lips. Of course I did, princess.

'Yes'

'Do you know the way outs?'

I'll be there to take you out of danger. Nobody will even have the chance to get close to you.

'Yes'

'Ok' she nodded. Looking around she thought for a second 'You'll be in the dining room with us. Please be aware'

'I will' I told her firmly, this time, with a nod.

The tremble in her voice was inaudible, but I saw the way she subtly bit her lip. How she played continuously with her fingers.

And I was started to be worried too.
