HIM THEY CALL THE CRUEL KING (Completed)

11

After few minutes of Jimin's departure, Seokjin and D steps out of the house and walks towards the border of the village.

It is still dark outside and the guards are everywhere in the village looking for her. They take a long cut passing a river and then through the forest and then finally reach the deserted land which D still remembers. Walking up to some extent, Seokjin gives up and says, "you can go by yourself from here. Hope you remember the way. Just forget whatever happened with you in the palace and live your life the fullest. Hope you get a better job. Let's wish we never meet again." Saying so, he walks back.

D starts to walk forward and takes out her phone and checks for the network. The broken screen of her phone reminds her of Da Won.

"If i atleast got a chance to see Da Won again, I would have said my last and first goodbye. What if the network isn't available? I could have atleast taken a picture of her and Ho Seok. Maybe of everyone I met. Now I can't even go back for it." The thought arose on her mind.

"Maybe I should have stayed there and helped Jimin. He spent more than five years for this, but still couldn't succeed. He wouldn't have told me the whole history if he hadn't had an intention behind it. And what if his intention was to ask me help him with his mission in return? I can't let go of this. I can't be selfish. I need to head back and help him." She mumbled to herself.

D starts to walk back to the village in order to help Jimin. She uses the same way to get in through which Seokjin let her out. Walking half a way into the forest, she stops and thinks, "Am I lost? I can't be here for all long."

As she takes few steps forwards, she hears the bushes sound as if someone just brushed against it. Her heart began to race as she quickly turns back and finds none. She has a strange feeling that someone is following her. If it's not King's men, then it can be wild animals who lives here. A wolf perhaps. She gulps at the end of her thought and slowly moves her steps back and faces forward.

"If I look back, it can only scare me more." She said to herself, but still inside her, the fear existed. The fear of being caught or eaten alive by animals.

Even though she walked as fast she could, having no idea whether the turns she takes are right or wrong, a faint sound of someone following her from a distant was still audible. And in this hurry burry, she steps into an animal trap. And when she realized what she had stepped into, she was already upside down hanging from a branch of a tree. Her vision slightly got blurred but she could still make out a figure of a lady standing down there, with a bow and an arrow. She blinked several times to see her clearly and when she did see her, everything went black. She looked exactly like MIN YOONGI.

When she woke up, she found herself in a bed. The room was artistic and its furniture with ancient designs. The blackout made her feel that she had been back to south, but it was just a part of her unconscious mind. She was still here in the Kingdom. The room reflected the palace interiors and she gulped as she had this feel that she's caught. A blanket over her spread out neatly as if she was being taking cared here and the room had a moderate floral smell. That's when she remembered what happened before she got blacked out. She stepped into an animal trap and was hanging upside down, and found a lady standing down with a bow and an arrow. "Did that same lady got me here? I think I saw her clearly before I lost conscious." She pressured herself to remember that face by shutting her eyes tightly and concentrated, but when she opened it up and called out Yoon Gi, she appeared right in front of her at the entrance of the room.

D almost froze there on the bed, but the girl walked forward and said as she placed a tray with medicine next to her. " It's Yoon Ji. How can you mistake me with my brother?"

"Yoon Ji." D repeated as she took the blanket off. "Are you telling me that you are the King's only twin?"

She didn't respond but stared at D as if something was wrong with her face.
