Luminous Kingdom | Jikook |

•Chapter 20•

Heaviness filled the room, Jimin didn't cry this time, but he sat down on the chair quietly. Jungkook sighed, he rubbed his temples feeling puzzled. Nolland was up to no good, the high lord needs to stop him, and if he actually does have the book of magic, then they have to move faster.

"Why would he kill an innocent civilian?" Jungkook asked Hyo furiously.

The beautiful Fae with the purple hair questioned it too, he parted his lips and made a confession, "he didn't kill him, he left him in a terrible condition. He cracked his bones and left him paralyzed. There was also no cure, even our magic couldn't heal him. I spared him all the pain, and the thing that hurts the most..." exhaling heavily, and looking at the floor, "that he thanked me... he thanked me that I was with him when he died." No tears fell from his eyes, but Jungkook and Jimin can see the deep distress in his eyes.

   "Why did you stay with him?" Jimin asked, softly. He knew he wasn't anywhere close to him. So why.

   Hyo softly gasped for air, "Because I wouldn't want to die alone," he said, "No one deserves that, human or Fae."

Jungkook leaned on the desk and kept his head down, he felt ashamed. As if he was the reason he died. His heart started blaming himself, if he didn't take Jimin away from Nolland, then he wouldn't have died. "it's a warning," the high lord stated, folding his arms and looking at Hyo, "he knew the professor is someone that Jimin respects a lot and if we don't do anything, next one to die will be a member of his family-"

"He wouldn't dare to touch them." Jimin said in a serious tone.

"Oh, he would." Jungkook shifted his head towards the human, "he's an awful fae, and he can get very dirty."

Jimin bit his bottom lip and wondered what he can do to protect his family. He will sacrifice himself for their safety, for his precious gem to be safe. "What can we do to clear away all future threats?"

Hyo looked around the library, "not here," he warned Jimin.

"Then call for an emergency meeting. All of them better be present or they aren't getting paid this month." Jungkook ordered and Hyo took no more time. He vanished. He will call everyone for the meeting.

Jungkook dared to turn around and gaze at Jimin, "is there anything I can do to lessen the pain?" He walked to him, crouching down and observing him carefully, "anything, and I'll do it." He added.

"Yes," Jimin said, moving his gaze down towards Jungkook. "I want revenge."

The high lord quickly nodded, "believe me, we will get it." He opened his hand so Jimin can hold it.

The human scoffed, "I can walk perfectly alone." He stood up and left Jungkook crouching with his hand open.

"So sassy," Jungkook bit his lip and stood up following him, "you don't know where the meeting room is."

Jimin stopped walking and turned around. "Right," the embarrassment showed on his face.

Jungkook had a smirk at the end of his lips as he walked. He led Jimin outside on the balcony, "I'll have to windsyn to the mountain," he said.

The human nodded but he saw how Jungkook kept waiting patiently, realizing quickly, he walked up to him and held his sleeve. Jungkook then held his waist, pulling him onto his body as he windsyned. "Gosh, I hate this." Jimin mumbled.

The High lord chuckled, "you're going to hate this more then," he said. They were on the mountain, Jimin looked around and raised a brow.

"We're having a meeting here?" He asked in a disbelief tone.
