The Escape 《《 PJM & JJK 》》 ON HOLD

CH 4

This was another afternoon. You decide to visit the palace today. After a request you pleaded for a week, the king gave the permission. The king sent his men to escort you in a carrier.

They were waiting out for you. You dressed yourself in the best of all attires you had. A smile spreaded on your lips when your maids finish dressing you.

"Miss Y/n, the carriage is ready." Yunjae opened the door and announced. You nod to her. Once the hands of your maids were off your dress rubbing the invisible spec of dust, you made your way out of your house.

Upon reaching the exit of your house, you met with a carriage and two sets of men to carry it. Walking down the stairs your maids held the long drap of your dress.

You sit in the carriage and your maids helped you adjust your dress. After your entrance the men took the carriage and began to walk accompanied by your maids and Yunjae.

It took some time to reach the palace.

The afternoon was pleasant unlike others you felt. It was the spring season, the trees and plants were bloomed, the hubbub of the market. You do peak through your small windows once a while. And found small boys play here and there. Once they notice the carriage they pause their actions and see you peaking.

You gave a smile to which they just bowed. But then an elderly lady got a glance of you and she scolded them for bowing to you. The scene caused a slight pain in your heart. You were an consort which is why you were an aversion to the people in capital as they loved their queen very much. They targeted you as a witch who wants to destroy the life of a poor queen.

You were excited. Excited for stepping in the palace from where you were thrown out once. Since then the insult always haunted you and wanted to avenge. It happened three years back.

Your thoughts were disrupted by the huge creaking voices of the palace gates.

Your stomach began to churn from anticipating the surprise that awaited in the palace. When the carriage was settled, its jerk made your heart skip a beat.

Getting out of the carriage, although it was pleasant day it seemed to be dull. Your inner self kept reminding you something might happen.

You were greeted by none. That made your heart a bit relieved. You shake your head and step on the stairs leading to the entrance of the palace. Your maids followed you.

Upon reaching the doors, you were stopped by the guards. You shoot them a glare, "Let me in." You demand.

"You are not allowed in here, woman." One of them scanned you. "Let me in or else you shall regret it." You command having your every nerve on fire for the disrespect.

"We cannot let you in." The other finally gave you a hint. "Why?" You scoff.

"It is the command from the Queen mother not to let any woman enter the palace." The previous one reasoned.

Just then they heard the thunderous voice. The voice that would make any person's hair stand.

The King himself. He and his few ministers behind stood at the entrance.

A smile appeared on your face. The soldiers straighten their shafts making way for you and your maids.

Yet you chose to stand there not making a move upon noticing his highness's angered expression.

"How dare you treat my lady like that?" He roared.

They drop on their knees quickly having their heads low, "Forgive us your highness. It was Queen mother's command."
