CURSED : The Blue Eyed Maiden [ BTS FF ]

Chapter 30

Author's POV

The fourth Princess stood infront of the old lady of Han family. The younger felt really uncomfortable around the 4 pair of eyes staring at her. She licked her lips nervously while looking down at the floor. " So why you made the King upset?" Madame Su asked making Ara blink twice and look up .

" Well ......I don't wanna marry him." She answered with a straight face without much hesitation . " He's not my type and I don't think I love him nor he , he just want to marry me because I have blue eyes. "

" But he's the King, our lord , what do you mean by that you don't love him? Everyone die to even get closer to the King , and here you rejected his proposal?" Concubine Jin rolled her eyes , " How can you be so ungrateful to our family?"

" Concubine Jin , let mother speak , you have no rights to question her in the first place , right mother?" Concubine Byeol smiled making the old lady give her a small smile . Concubine Jin hated being insulted and here it was obvious that Concubine Byeol low-key insulted her for being a concubine of lower grade than her.

She gritted her teeth and lowered her gaze nodding . Madame Su shook her head , she had no interest to meddle in concubines matter. She casually fanned herself while looking at them. The old lady cleared her throat before speaking. 

" Han Kyung , you are one of my granddaughter , I treat you equally as them. You should understand that our family depends on the royal society . You should always obey what he asks , he's technically our God , if he'll kick your father out , from his post.....will you take responsibility for it? Will you be able to feed all these in our family ?" She paused as her old eyes scanned Ara's face .

" We are women, we should always do what men ask us to do , we are nothing but dust for them , I know you won't like this but Kyung .....he's your future husband , no matter what the decision won't be changed , it's decided-" The old lady got interrupted by Ara who wasn't agreeing what the old lady said. 

" Why? Why are we different from men? Why do we have to obey whatever they say? Why do we always allow them to look down at us? We are all humans , we all have same blood color and flesh , two eyes , one nose , a mouth , two hands , two legs and a heart that beats for someone special . I don't think my heart recognises him as my love , I will not marry him......not even if I'll love him . I don't wanna repeat the history , I don't wanna live the same life as my mother ......I don't wanna live the same life as all my father's concubines ." Ara looked up with teary eyes. 

" Well..." The old lady was herself the concubine of Minister Han's father , after the legitimate wife's death , she took the place and ruled over the family , she understood how the concubines were treated , she sighed looking at other concubines who were staring at Kyung with soft gaze , The old lady was about to open her mouth when .....

" What do you mean ? Your father's wives aren't happy ? They are mistreated here? Think before you speak , you aren't a kid anymore Han Kyung ." Madame Su jolt up with an evident frown on her face , she glared the younger lady who had no option but to lower her head .

" Han Kyung , go back to your pavilion , we'll talk about it later , I'm tired of all this ." Her grandma rubbed her temple while letting out a heavy sigh , it was best option to end the situation before it would get messy .

Ara bowed , " Long live grandma , take rest , I'll visit you later. " She smiled and bowed to the old lady and other three women looking at her with different expressions.  She flipped her long hair and turned to walk out of the room .

Concubine Jin's POV

I don't know why but I was really impressed with Kyung's reply . I was also a concubine , I understand what it feels to be a concubine , even though I hate her , I was really pleased . At least she was more understanding and mature than I thought about her.  But still , my daughter had to become the scape goat and marry Minister Go's son.

Should I be happy ? Because at least my daughter won't be a concubine , she'll be his legitimate wife . I always wanted my daughter to be one , I should be thankful that Kyung gave up on Minister Go's son. I should go and meet my daughter , to tell her about it .

Will she even understand? She's not as understanding as Kyung .

I sighed standing up . " I should make my way out first then , mother." I bowed making her nod . I gazed at Madame Su , imagining my daughter ruling over Go family , unknowingly I smiled a bit before walking out to my chamber. 

Seonghwa's POV

She's dumb. 

I sighed and rolled on the bed with a pout. " What should I do to make her recognise me ? That dummy will always be the same , she won't really change."  I thought she was someone else when I bumped into her , but nah.... she's the pabo I always knew . My princess , Jung Hanuel and.....the person for whom I'm here.....

Choi Ara. 

" Hyung ? You are staring at the wall and smiling. It's creepy. " Yunho blinked making me sigh and pull him into a hug. " Yahhhh go away !!! Don't do this to me !"

He yelled making me hug him more tightly. I laughed and let him go once the others barged in my room to save Yunho. " Yah Park Seonghwa.... You really acting weird after bumping with that maiden, I mean she was pretty and all but you saw her eyes ? It was weird ." Hongjoong mumbled making me blink and look at him .

I can't let him continue , others might ask more about her , if they'll know that Ara got blue eyes and they'll relate her to the blue eyed maiden . And if I'll try to explain that she's not the one they think and she's someone else ...... they'll think I'm crazy .

God , this is complicated . Why am I even here ? I just wanted to end my life but lil did I knew I'll end up being a.........

Time traveller .
