This is war.
The soldiers give way to Taeyeon when they notice that Lady Choi was the one who is leading her up to the tower. Lord Chun was plannng to leave this morning, but Lady Choi said some things that hurt his pride, so he decided to stay and hide behind his soldiers, hoping that the guardians won't find him. He hid himself at the top tower, where it's the least expected hiding spot for the guardians.
"Why did you bring her here?"Lord Chun asked his wife when he saw the Princess.
"Her highness wanted to see you, my lord. Don't worry, she's harmless."Lady Choi said, not knowing that Taeyeon is actually a water guardian. "My lord, the enemies have barged into the castle grounds. You can't stay here any longer."
"Well it's too late to run away now, isn't it?"Lord Chun sighed. "There is no use seeing me. What are you going to do? Kill me?"Lord Chun mocked her, causing Taeyeon to smirk.
"Correct."Taeyeon took a step back and closed her eyes, feeling the water around her. There is a huge lake below the castle, the water is more than enough for her. She lifted her arms in the air, bending the water out from the lake and up to where she is. "It's more than enough to drown you in it."she chuckled when she saw the color draining from Lord Chun's face.
"Y-You are a water guardian."he stammered.
"Yes. Didn't it cross your mind why I rarely leave my room when I was younger? My parents tried to protect my powers from bad guys like you."she said. "You killed my parents. You took them away from me!"she shouted and with a swift of her right arm, a wave of water came splashing down at Lord Chun, giving him no space to run. "YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!"She unleased her power and bended the water high in the air. The water flow didn't stop, causing Lord Chun to get stuck in the wave.
Lord Chun choked back on water as he tried to swim his way out of the wave, but to no avail. Taeyeon just chuckled and made the wave longer until he's near to out of breath before releasing him. She dropped him to the ground harshly as he gasped for air.
"Know your own boundaries old man. This is my parents' kingdom, not yours!"
"Wait-"he coughed out more water. "I never said that I killed your parents."he quickly explain before Taeyeon hit him with another wave.
"Don't lie. Who else would kill them?"she refused to believe him and hit him with another wave from her left, making him struggle to reach to the surface. "You think it's that easy to deceive me?!"she spinned up a wave and leveled herself higher in the air.
"I swear- I didn't- kill your parents-"he shouted as he constantly choke up on water. "I just took their death as an opportunity for me to rule. I will never kill my own brother!"he continued when the water flow slowed down by Taeyeon's control.
"Then who did?"she raised an eyebrow at him. "WHO DID?!"She repeated herself as she neared him with her waves of water that is enough to give him the final blow and end his life at the spot.
"MY WIFE!"He shouted. "SHE KILLED THEM!"He quickly added. Taeyeon stopped in front of him and looked back, realising that Lady Choi isn't here anymore. She ran away because she is guilty of the crime. Taeyeon was blinded by rage even more, she felt betrayed by her aunt who she thought is someone she can depend on.
She groaned and put Lord Chun down. She looked around her to search for her aunt. "Don't move!"she shouted at Lord Chun. Even though he wasn't the one who killed her parents, he still did an unforgivable sin, she's not done with him yet.
Her aunt has already ran away, probably at the bottom of the tower by now. Taeyeon shut her eyes and tried to consume her anger. Rage will only lead her to do irrational things, she might ended up taking innocent lives if she unleashes her full potential.
