The Rise Of An Empress

The Card of Fate

Kyungsoo tries to walk with head down. He is in disguise of eunuch now. Planning this took a long time and he is confidential that this plan will not fail. He needs to meet General Jongin to get some answers. Why he is avoiding Kyungsoo nowadays? Kyungsoo has sent him several orders to meet him,but Jongin has refused to meet him and still silent without saying apologies to him.

Kyungsoo is walking on the corridor of a special barack of Goreyo army now, in this particular royal portion of this special barack Jongin is used to stay as a general of army,when he stay in capital of Goreyo.

Successfully he has passed several check post of army. There's minimum chance to get caught when Kyungsoo is wearing an exclusive uniform of eunuch with royal seal and bearing letters for Jongin from royal palace. Actually the letter bearing is totally fake,but it's usual for Jongin to receive a lot of letters and news from royal palace as one of the trusted general and closest person of emperor of Goreyo ......

At last, Kyungsoo reaches the expected door with help of soldiers' instructions. He knocks the door of general Jongin's room and after hearing response to come in he enters inside.......

Entering inside the room,he takes off the hat of eunuch and locks the door from inside,

"Long time so see," Kyungsoo says in cold voice to Jongin.

Jongin doesn't get surprised,but he knew so better that Kyungsoo always finds a way to do what he desperately wants.

"I thought at least maintaining a distance would be better for both of us," Kai says while feeding some tender cabbage to the rabbits inside the wooden cage. These are the rabbits that Baekhyun didn't let him to eat as meal. He left this rabbits to a old woman Guangdong to be taken care for few weeks as it wasn't possible to carry rabbits with them on way. He assured Baekhyun that oneday he will return these baby rabbits to him again. But seeming like returning rabbits will be make things complicated as emperor is so possessive to his pregnant concubine.

"So ,parrot has learnt words. What do you think ,Jongin? You left capital without sending me any letter or apologies. My spies are always active around you. You stayed in your mother's old home with a pretty boy. You drank wine with him, fucked him in a wine shop and so on. You are forgetting to be loyal to me. But I won't forget how to bring you down. Remember,I am Kyungsoo from D.O. family. How you ended to meet concubine Byun in your way? And where you have kept your secret lover hidden?" Kyungsoo says in angry but low voice, obviously he can't let any soldier around to be suspect anything wrong happening inside general's room.

"Bring me down then. I can't do it anymore. My first fault was to have feelings for you and let you use my feelings . Then you manipulated it, Kyungsoo. I can't betray with myself and your majesty anymore. If you ever loved me ,you couldn't do such with me," Jongin says what he has decided after thinking so long.

"I am tried of same speech again and again. We both are staying in safest positions. Why you can't understand? Don't make me desperate to harm you . You know that so better that I can't control my anger. Kick those disgusting rabbits out!" Kyungsoo clenches his fist. He badly wants to kick those rabbits whom Jongin is still feeding without giving full concentration to him.

"Can you please kick me out from your life. I am sick of your threats everytime. This is not love,but force. It's you who left me at first to get power over D.O. family. What was wrong to leave that position to your sister? She was first choice of your family to being concubine. You are the advantage seeker who wants everything in your favour. Bring me down, I am not afraid of your power and status anymore. I don't want to continue this secret forced relationship anymore. I am ready to pay for my sin with my life," Jongin says while unlocking the door and leaves keeping Kyungsoo alone in his room.
