Chapter 8 – The Sky Tribe's Chief

*Flashback*

"I'll follow you around all day and all night if I have to," it really was not in my cup of tea to follow him around all day and all night but I had no other choice but to do that.

Who knew of what else Soo-won was capable of doing?

"That's going too far," Soo-won chuckled. "But I wouldn't mind having a beautiful person like you to accompany me in my sleep,"

My eyes widened and I felt my face flush. "W—What are you talking about?" It really was not clear to me if Soo-won favoured men. He kept dropping hints and I was not that blind to not notice them. "I'll be off to bed,"

"Goodnight, Allan."

*End of Flashback*

I could still remember how Soo-won kept dropping hints that he favoured men...but he already knew that I was a woman in the first place so I was wrong for assuming what I thought about him that time.

The pain in my chest was too hard to bear so I went straight to my room.

*Flashback*

"You know..." his eyes stared blankly at the Kouka Castle like he was remembering some memories. "I used to be with my father here all the time. We would always look at the castle as he told me of his plans,"

I stared at Soo-won. I did not know why something inside me stirred when he told me that. I did not want to admit it but he looked so...vulnerable.

And it was not a good sight to see.

"Everything happens for a reason..." my voice trailed off. I did not want to pity him. If I needed to, I would keep my harsh personality when talking to him—but he was someone who also lost his father. One look at him and I realized that he really admired his father.

And everything that he did was for his father.

I grew up with my parents who loved me. It was kind of a shame that I was here and I left them back in the Wind Tribe. I did not know why royalties had such tragic moments with them. Soo-won and the Queen lost both of their fathers and I had no idea of what they were feeling since my family was complete.

"I sometimes wish that everything ended differently for all of us," he looked at me and he flashed a smile.

*End of Flashback*

I thought of how he held that painful expression on his face while still smiling. I thought of how I wanted to wipe that expression off of his face.

Maybe his vulnerability that time shattered my walls.

*Flashback*

"Reports came in today stating that Kuuto was shaken because of a beautiful lady who walked the streets earlier,"

"And so...?"

"I'm assuming it's you?"

"You take a guess,"

"What's you real name?" he asked.

I gave it a thought if I would give my real name to Soo-won but decided later on that there was no use in lying to him since I was already found out. "Allana,"

"Beautiful..." he stared right at me. The moonlight that illuminated from the window complimented his features. "I need to tell you something,"

"What?"

"I'm jealous that other people saw your beauty. Is it selfish of me to have you all for myself?" and with that, he slammed his lips onto mine.

*End of Flashback*

I remembered the night when I completely gave myself to him without really thinking it through. I remembered how something had happened between us.

How could he do this to me?

Why did he make me fall in love with him?

Was it just to use me?

I decided not to tell anyone about what I had heard. I needed to confirm if first for myself because I did not want to regret the things that I would do in the future.

"Mind if I join you?" I looked up from sitting at one of the benches in the garden and saw Soo-won.

"Go ahead," I smiled at him like I did not hear anything yesterday. If I had calculated everything right, they planned to attack the Kouka Castle tomorrow.

"You're spacing out today," his eyes looked worried. I wondered if the worriedness in his eyes was real. "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing," I shook my head. "I want to ask you something, Soo-won,"

"You can ask anything,"

I breathed a huge amount of air before muttering, "Do you love me?"
