Till We Meet Again

Chapter 14

[dedicated to sourcandy7777. i enjoyed reading your comments :)]

"Congratulations to the General and to the Princess!"

Everyone clapped their hands. But my eyes were locked on the ground. The wedding will be tomorrow already?! But.. how could I failed this? I still don't have any clue from what is happening here.

"Thank you everyone." I lifted my head up and saw the Princess smiling. "It's an honor to be your queen even though the wedding haven't started yet.." she chuckled. "But I am happy to serve each and one of you... but not alone.. but with the General too." she clings her arm on the the General's arm.

The General's face doesn't look happy at all. She is emotionless. "I am happy to serve you again.. but right now.. as a King. I am happy to announce that today, I am no longer the General.. But a King.. So I've decided to promote one of my men to become the General." she awkwardly smiled

Few of us whispered with their thoughts and their opinions. I looked at Namjoon's direction and he looks so excited. He is already serving the Kingdom for how many years and today.. I think this would be his lucky day.

"Congratulations.." she started. "..to our new General... La Lisa Manoban!"

Everyone clapped their hands when the General—I mean the King.. announced the new General. Manoban's face was surprised and she couldn't believed from what she heard. Even me!

She wiped her tears when she walked in front and smiled to everyone of us. "Thank you.. Thank you to the new King for believing in me... I promise I won't let you down." She smiled widely.

Namjoon's face was shocked and hurt. He bitterly clapped and looked on the ground. I think he expected that he would be the General, but sadly he isn't.

Everyone went back to their respective rooms. Tzuyu told me that she is sick and gave me a candle lamp. She told me that I should check the Kingdom if everyone needs anything.

Without saying any words, I did what she said and roams around. It's very dark and the lanps were the only thing that makes our Kingdom alive. I gulped when I felt my goosebumps when it started getting cold. I hugged my self with only one arm and tries to calm down. I could hear the wolves howling and the owl's sound.

"What kind of job is this.." I rolled my eyes. I entered a small gate where the rooms of the men where placed. This is where I asked Prince Chanyeol to protect the Princess. I heard some men's snore loudly. Their lights were already off and I guess there's no more awake. I sighed and starts walking away when I heard someone talked.

"What do you mean?" I heard a familiar voice of a man.

"We could work together." A deep voice answered him.

"But... I thought..you—"

"Are you willing to work with me or not?" he sounded so mad.

I slowly hide behind a men's room and lowered my head so I could hear them properly. I think it's behind this room. I have to be careful. I think.. this is the killer!

"I wanted a revenge."

"The feeling is mutual."

"I will work with you."

"Great." That's the last word I heard before I heard footsteps coming towards me. I panicked when my candle lamp suddenly hit the wood beside me.
