Lucifer's Queen

Chapter 12

*Taehyung's pov*

"You are crazy women!" I screeched for the umpteenth time making the girl next to me step on my foot harshly to shut my whining. My upcoming scream was muffled under her palm as she sent me warning glares, covering my mouth. I huffed in defeat as she focus on the hand in task looking ahead and dragging my unwilling self with her so we won't lose track. A surprised gasp escaped from my mouth when I was jerked into side to hide behind a ice cream stall to keep our so called undercover mission unrevealed. "What the-"

"Shhhh....! They stopped near the fairy-wheel line!" She announced peeking through the hanging advertisement posters in the stall roof to keep an eye on the couple ahead. I rolled my eyes for the hundredth time maybe, before recalling how I ended up in this ridiculous situation.

*Few hours ago*   

Silence wrapped around us like a thick blanket as I escort her into the room, keeping my tight grip around her petite figure like guarding her from any threat. Her anxious breathing was over powered by my own wild beating heart as I tried to calm my nerves down, not wanting to suffocate the poor soul with my raging wrath. 

"Don't you think it was too harsh back there Tae?" She questioned in a fragile tone, carefully addressing the matter on her mind as we neared her room. I sighed finally melting under her soft tone and deciding to let my anger slip off. She doesn't deserve this silent treatment. She is still in the dark about the whole situation and least I can do is to keep her secured and comfortable until Jungkook clear up his mind and realize she is not her.

"I am the demon of wrath princess!" I reminded her softly as well as myself why am I easy to get riled up over situations that isn't under my control. I hate it. I hate it not being able to understand my own emotions and the conflict of this whole matter. Top of that I hate it  that I am still hurting over what happened ages ago and not being worth of my attention anymore. I stopped right in front of the familiar set of door which lead to her room and pushed the rough surface ready to step in, but froze realizing the pressure of her body which is refusing to corporate with my steps. I looked down to see her glancing up at me with a strange look which I haven't seen before in that innocent face. 

"Did you use to call her that too?" She questioned making me scrunch my face in confusion until I realized what she meant by recalling my last statement. 'Princess' I felt my heart tightening like someone squeezed it in a intention of hurting and the look she was plastering reminded me of someone very familiar. The face I wanted to forget so badly flashed right in front of my eyes mirroring the exact look on Erica's face and I felt like my breath being knocked out of my lungs. A distance soft voice of a faint memory which I cherished yet despise, echoed in my ears like a waking call to those buried memories.

"I am not a princess Tae. I am your Queen. Respect me brat and call me your highness!"

"You can be the queen to the whole universe, yet you will always be my princess!"

"May I know what is my future bride doing in your embrace Tae?" A very familiar voice boomed around the lonely walls of almost abandoned castle pulling me back to my senses and I felt the warmth of her body retreating from my side as she stepped away from fear. A figure stepped out from the shadows of inside the room with two glowing red eyes and a very irritated look. However those intimating gaze wasn't on me. It was landed on the petite girl next to me making her cover behind me searching for security.

"I was only escorting her to the room your majesty!" I said respectfully bowing slightly to show my submission. By the look on his face I figured he wouldn't want to play all buddy-buddy with me and it's pretty much always like this. The carefree air we had around us has been vanished into dust and I am almost forgetting that this man before me knew how to smile once upon a time. "Rest assured my king! I have no ill intention towards her and she is like a little sister to me." I announced further more wanting to clear any misunderstanding.
