Captured

"Stop this!" Ji sung yelled toward his brother heading toward the kings chamber.
"No! I will not disrespect father as you do." He huffs and turns back toward the kings room.

"Why are you being this way?" He says.
"You are the one who took a intruder I was questioning! And better yet you are harboring her as she's a safe person!" He turns and continued walking till he reaches the door.

"Highness your sons are here!" A council yelled from outside.
"Send them in." He says back.

The boy steps forward followed by Ji sung.

"Minho, Ji sung, what brings you here?" He says.

"Father, Ji sung has been disobeying a rule." Minho says sitting on the floor to greet his father.
"what rule?" He raises a eyebrow.
"Earlier I found a intruder, and Ji sung has been harboring her even giving her out food and clothes." He yells out.
Ji sung stands in shock at his brothers actions.

"Ji sung, is this true?" He turns to his son.

"Father , this person is not a intruder! No I mean- they're not a bad person! They never questioned me of the palace nor harmed me." He says on his knees.

"Call the guards to his house, collect her immediately throw her in prison until I can question her myself!" He yells orders.
"Father plea-"
"Enough! You! Return to your home immediately after the guards collect her! None of you are allowed outside after 4pm now!" He yells.

Ji sung sits in a powerless position as his father yelled orders .
There was truly nothing he could do.

The guard eventually unfortunately collected Lena, moving her inside a prison cell.
The dark , hard cell reminded her of the journey she came to.
The dark cold river. I held my knees to my chest with my head down.
I managed to hold onto my cloth to conceal my face for now.. it would be no use soon.

"Please let me inside." I heard a familiar voice outside the cells.
"We cannot we are given orders by the king." The guards say.

I wanted to cry but I couldn't manage myself to.

A few hours passed in the lonely cell before a guard came unlocking it.

He grabs me and pulls me inside a building.
"I have brought the intruder." He says from the other side of the kings door.
"Bring her." He says back.

The guard drags her inside making her sit on the floor with her hands tied. There were seven other faces who she didn't recognize inside with her along with counselors.
Her face was blotched red from trying not to cry. Her lips felt like sores were developing from her biting them to not release her tears wallowed up inside my eyes.

"Who are you coming inside my palace? Sneaking around with my son? Have you no shame?!" He yells.

She stayed silent.

"Speak! Do you take me as a fool?!" He yells again.

"N-No." She managed to speak out.

"How pathetic you can't even speak properly to me! Did your family not raise you right? Now answer me your name!" He demanded.
She stayed silent again not knowing how to open her mouth. No words were forming in her anxiousness.

"Psh, look at this! How dare she take me as a fool." He says frustrated in my silence.

"If she won't speak, then let's just throw her out or better hey execute her !" He says motioning.
"Wait! Father please!" Ji Sung bursted through the door.
"What now?! Are you here to protest?!" He yells.
"Please don't do this! Can't you just make rethink!" He gets on his knees.
