Chapter 15

Come to my rescue, before it's too late!

As Namjoon closed his eyes preparing to be stabbed in the heart, he felt something wet dripping on his face. His eyes opened to see a sight of Yoongi being shot by an arrow in his arm. The blood was dripping from his wound onto Namjoon's face. He quickly pushed Yoongi aside and got up on his legs searching for the sword. Jungkook was standing on the top of the stairway holding a bow spread wide in his hands. He flashed his bunny smile at Namjoon taking another arrow in his hands targeting Yoongi's head. Yoongi managed to move before the arrow hit him and it just grazed his shoulder.

"Need help there?" Jungkook said coming a few steps lower.

"Nah, I think I can handle this by myself." Namjoon was joking. He glanced at Y/N who was set free by Sarah. She took Y/N in her arms and placed her on the floor. Sarah nodded to Namjoon, letting him know that she'll take care of Y/N.

Namjoon could now finally concentrate on his battle with Yoongi. Jungkook will have his back if he needed some help. Now, Yoongi couldn't avoid and stop Namjoon's attacks like before. Namjoon succeeded in stabbing him and cutting him a few times. In one moment Jungkook shot an arrow that hit Yoongi's neck and he fell on the floor. "That was for Seokjin!" Jungkook said outing the bow aside and coming down to help Sarah who was now cleaning Y/N's wounds. Namjoon took his sword and stabbed Yoongi's heart with it. "And that was for Y/N." He put his sword down and running to Y/N. Sarah let him hug Y/N who was still unconscious.

"Check Jimin, he might not be dead yet." Namjoon said to Sarah and she quickly went to Jimin's body and started checking his condition.

Namjoon brought Y/N closer to him, carefully cuddling her and kissing her head. "I'm sorry I didn't come earlier. I swear to you by the moon that this won't happen ever again."

"Don't swear by the moon," Y/N spoke her eyes still closed as she curled up into Namjoon's chest more. "For she's always changing." She finished her sentence with a small smile on her lips.

"Then I swear to you by myself. As long as I live, I will not let you out of my sight." He hugged her tighter and kissed her forehead.

"I love you." Y/N opened her eyes and started crying. "I'm sure."

"I love you too." Namjoon bent down and his lips met hers. They were both crying now, hugging each other afraid they will be separated again. Sarah came back and Jungkook put one arm around her waist. "He is deadly injured, but he will survive." She told them about Jimin's condition.

"I'm glad." Y/N smiled as she moved in sitting position. Namjoon was by her side helping her sit straight. Jungkook kissed Sarah passionately on the lips when she didn't expected. She relaxed as she returned the kiss. Y/N smiled to Namjoon and put her head on his shoulder. It's finally over.

The main door opened and everyone in the room looked at that direction. It was a dead silence in the room as Y/N looked at the two tall silhouettes in fear. Namjoon took her hand and squeezed it. Her parents walked into the hall to find a bloody mess all over it. Jungkook and Sarah were looking at them mesmerized by their appearance. There was a different vibe when they entered the room. It was like something divine came in and everyone had to keep silent. A quiet "wow" escaped Jungkook's mouth, no matter how many times he sees them he will always be amazed by their presence. Sarah shut him instantly, even though she was afraid of them, she had to show them that she was determined and ready to take all the consequences. The king was prideful and had a serious expression on his face as he looked at the bodies all around the room. The queen was terrified by the scene she just saw and kept herself behind her husband. The king went straight to the stairway; he looked at Namjoon recognizing him. He didn't even bother looking at his own daughter. His stern cold voice spoke.

"Countess, what has happened here?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, your majesty, but I think that your daughter should answer this question." She said looking him directly in the eyes. That's when king looked at Y/N for the first time since he entered the room. It was like he didn't care that she was hurt, he only cared about his reputation as this stone-hearted king. Y/N managed to stand on her painful feet and look her father in his cold emotionless eyes.

"This is all because of you." Y/N said. "My whole life was under your control and I couldn't take it anymore. I'm done with being your little puppet. I made a choice that I will never again be controlled by anyone. This is the man I love and he is the only one I see myself with. He was there to save me from the monster you brought in this castle not even thinking about the risk." Y/N made a pause and looked at Namjoon who was always by her side. He nodded and encouraged her to keep on talking. "Namjoon is the reason why I'm standing alive here; he is the reason why that sick sadistic bastard is lying dead on the floor and the reason why Jimin is still alive."

The king's strict expression hasn't changed. He looked like there was no blood all over the floor he was standing on right now. The queen gasped putting one of her hands over her mouth in shock. She wanted to ask so many questions, but she was too afraid of her husband. After a few moments of complete silence the king continued the conversation.

"Why are you standing there with a one from the Kim family? You know they are our enemies. And with the position we are now I can easily put him in prison." Still there was not a single emotion in his dark voice.

"I told you, he is the one who saved me! He is the one I love! How can you be so close-minded to not see that?!" Y/N was so angry at this point, shouting at her own father. Of course he didn't understand he never could.

"We are sorry to interrupt this conversation, your majesty, but we have something to say too." Someone entered the main hall again. Y/N's eyes filled with tears again when she was Taehyung and Seokjin walking in the room. Seokjin was injured badly and had to lean on Taehyung so he could stand. She thought he was dead and now her happiness has overwhelmed her.

The king turned around looking at the two men with the same look he had moments ago. He let them speak and explain themselves.

"I'm Kim Seokjin, the oldest one in our family since our parents passed away. I'm speaking in the name of the whole family when I say that the feud should be forgotten. If no one even remembers why it had occurred and why it lasts to this day, then where's the point in hating each other now without a reason. Your daughter was kidnapped by the man that came in this palace with her fiancé and you trusted him. She was saved by the man whose existence you hated. We want this to come to an end and for your daughter and my brother to be happy." Seokjin's words were on the point and queen agreed with every word. But the king looked tougher. The king sighed and smiled with corners of his lips.

"I guess I have no choice." His voice wasn't that cold anymore and everyone seemed more relaxed. Y/N smiled to him and with Namjoon's help she walked to them and hugged them. Her mother was happy that her child will be with someone she loves and that her husband finally showed some emotions towards her. They both shook hands with Namjoon and thanked him for saving his daughter. Jimin woke up barely alive moments later and the nurse took care of him. Everything seemed like it was on the right place.

"I have something to say." Jungkook said loudly and everyone looked at him. Sarah raised an eyebrow in confusion. Jungkook kneelt down in front of her as his hand reached deep inside his pocket searching for something. Sarah just looked at him confused and shocked. "I have met you months ago and since then you are not leaving my mind. You are the bravest, wisest, the most beautiful and funny person I have ever met. I have developed strong feelings towards you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you, Sarah, marry me?" He asked as he pulled one small golden ring with a ruby on its tip from his pocket. One tear fell from her cheek onto the floor as she said "yes" without thinking twice. His arms hugged her tiny waist and lifted her up in the air as they shared a long kiss. Everyone in the room cheered and clapped, congratulating a new couple.

In all that mess no one noticed an old woman putting two bouquets on the hall entrance, one made out of blood red roses and one made out of blue smeraldo flowers. On each one was a note congratulating new couples. The rose bouquet was dedicated to Y/N and Namjoon and the smeraldo one to Sarah and Jungkook. The old woman smiled as she vanished into thin air happy that their story has a happy ending.

Maybe my Juliet got her happy ending after all.

[The End]
