ROYALS

Wolf were caught!

That night, Aurora returned to her bed chamber early. After spending time with Hyela, she was utterly exhausted. They talked about crushes, country music and even about the handsome young man they saw at the streets last weekend which is one of the normal  conversations they used to have instead of talking about politics or gowns and balls.

Paige helped her undress and get ready for bed. She sat at the vanity staring into the mirror while Paige braids her long blonde hair.

No words were exchange but just a mere goodnight were said. Paige was her other closest friend other than Hyela at the court, even if she was just a palace maid. She was younger than both of them making her being treated as a sister of theirs.  They have been through everything together and when she needed her, she will always accompany her by her side no matter day or night.

Or even when both of them were scolded by the head of the maids for always making fun of their job, the victim will always be the two of them.

Later, after Paige had left, she laid awake on the bed. The bad thoughts from her alliance are coming back at her as all of the bad thoughts that night. She turned over to her side pulling away the comfortable pillow from her head and waiting for sleep drown her down.

She tried to clear her thoughts and everything around her. Just as she was about to feel her self slipping into subconsciousness, a shuffle of footsteps and candle lights entered her once dark room.

"Aurora!" She heard someone familiar shoutout. Shot straight up from the bed, feeling her adrenaline pumping out in a rush.

Taehyung stared into her eyes with pure hatred and rage running across his face. Others surrounded her room crowding around her bed.

And for the first time she realized, they were all men in armor. Soldiers.

She lifted up her blankets up to cover her collarbone for her silk nightdress that was barely covering anything. Her eyes then moved to another Prince of the realm Prince Namjoon. She tried searching for Jimin but came to naught.

"You've returned Your Highness?" Aurora asked frantically at him, her voice shaking. "Yes obviously!" Sarcasm running out from his sentence like the water. "You've got some serious explaining to do Lady in Waiting Aurora."

She yelped. " I don't even know what's going on! If you tell me Your Honors, maybe I could explain everything you need to know!" Aurora emphasized the your honors as another return of Namjoon's sarcasm and that make the two prince laughed bitterly.

Namjoon placed his fingers under his chin mocking her. "What has the lady do in the palace lately? Sneaking up behind the walls?-"

Aurora quickly cut his words in utter of unbelievable. "I did it with Hyela alright! We sneaked in just to have a fun daily life when all of you are-!"

Namjoon continued with his words pressing his words louder. "Or even SENDING WORDS TO THE NORTHERN REBELS?!"

Aurora's hand began to weaken by itself. They all knew, knew about her secrets. Her body began to shudder, knowing death toll is expected to arrive early. She knew coming back to the palace is not a good idea. She knew the consequence but she still take the risk just to have another chance.

She had successfully avoided the physical checkup from the physicians for her rebel marks and entered the palace with no trouble. And now seems like the gods punished her again.

Taehyung smirked at what she said earlier "You'll tell us everything? Well well well,isn't that what we want ? Seize her!"
