[A/N დ Hyerins Pov, ❦ Jungkook's Pov, ۵ Your Pov]
The early spring sun generous as it blessed your father's garden with warmth. The sun's rays caressing your skin, your view over the bay down below was one very few got the chance to see. Being the daughter of the king you were one of the very few who could take this gift for granted. However, you knew better than that. Your sisters on the other hand. They felt differently. Your feeble hands gripping your clay cup, glazed and decorated, its rim greeting your mouth with the taste of freshly squeezed juice from the finest of grapes, and berries.
Your sisters frolicking in the garden, their laughs obnoxious as they tossed about a ball made of canvas and leather, all three of them dressed in their fine silk and lace. Gold head and body jewelry glistening in the sun as they tossed about the ball. None of them inviting you to play along. Their disdain for you was evident in their behavior and snide comments. At first, their words harmed your heart, over time the wound healed itself and grew stronger. Now it took more than a few harsh words and pettiness to hurt you. You didn't need them, as long as you had the love of your father you were set.
The guards ringing a bell as they entered the garden. In their hands a plush pillow, satin red and adorned with gold trimming, sitting atop the pillow a heap of roses and ripe figs. Addressed to you. Your sisters letting the leather ball drop as they followed the guards. Their eyes holding a green hue. Guards setting the satin pillow on your lap before returning to their post.
"How sacrilegious." Your sister Mina scorned her lip lightly curled as she glared at you.
"The fact that father allows this is beyond me." Do Ae chimed, her curly hair blocking her brown brows as she scorned, her trimmed nails jagging into your ribs as she picked a rose handing it to your sleeked haired sister Suni.
Suni's hair reaching her hips, her lavender silk robes slinging off her form slightly as she twirled the rose in her hand. Her eyes holding nothing but scorn for you. "She's father's favorite after all. He will give her everything even if it means insulting the goddess Hyerin."
Your cheeks puffed as you swiped the rose from Suni's hand, while doing so a stray thorn from the rose pricked your finger, "I'm not insulting the goddess!"
Suni hissed pointing to the satin pillow, "I'll believe that when suitors stop sending you offerings that are sacred to the goddess!!"
Do Ae and Mina grabbing the pillow and tossing it off the gardens ledge. "Your pretty face and spoiled attitude are insults if only the men of this kingdom could see it. Father especially." Mina hissed, Do Ae giving a hum of agreement. The three returning to their abandoned leather ball, tossing it once more, purposely aiming at you. Harsh blows to your thighs and stomach.
"Oh, I'm sorry dear sister did that hit you?!" Do Ae feigned remorse. The other two cackling in their silks and lace.
Tongue swabbing the inside of your cheek, fisting your silk, and lace robe, eyes glossy you refused to give them what they wanted. Grabbing your clay cup tossing the juice it held in the direction of your witch sisters before running from the garden. Cheeks puffed and chest heaving your feet clambered to your chamber. The distant cries of anger coming from the garden giving you some satisfaction.
