chapter 21
...Flower of Evil...
Yeonjun immediately pulled Beomgyu behind his back and stood infront of Seokjin.
Seokjin sneered at them. He raised his palm. Yeonjun was alerted and was ready for any attack but was startled hearing a choking sound from behind. With wide eyes,he looked back.
Beomgyu was on his knees with a black shackle on his neck.
How is this possible? Only grim reapers could use this kind of dark seals but how did he do it?! And how was it possible to put such a shackle on a grim reaper? It is impossible!
"Beomgyu!"
Beomgyu's face was red from the torture. He couldn't even utter word. Yeonjun looked at Jin who was walking towards the now unconscious Iseul. He could care less about Iseul. He turned to Beomgyu and held him.
"What did you do to him?!",Yeonjun screamed.
Jin picked up his sister and turned to them. At the same time,the fallen woman was teleported next to Yeonjun and Beomgyu, and she was still alive even though she was soaked.
Jin looked at Beomgyu and his shackle was instantly removed. Beomgyu took a long breath. Even though, he can't die, the pain was real.
"Nothing much. Just gave the pain he gave to her"
Then his eyes went to the woman who was next to the two grim reapers. She was unconscious. "Since Danbi wanted to save her,she should live"
He turned around.
Beomgyu coughed but still spoke. "Why don't you use her real name? You know it is her"
Jin didn't turn around. After a minute or two,he turned around. "From now on,I don't want you two to be around her. Specially, you bastard ", he looked at Beomgyu with his frosty eyes. "It won't be good if you mess with us"
He turned around again and walked ahead. After few more steps,he disappeared with Iseul.
Beomgyu,"...."
Yeonjun looked at Beomgyu's horrified face. "He really showed who he is"
Beomgyu, "He –He is —then the others?"
Yeonjun nodded. "Probably. We can't even think of going against them. You really got into a huge mess. Now,you need to stop. What did I tell you before huh? This research will definitely be your doom to hell. Iseul is not someone we should get closer to"
Beomgyu closed his eyes like he was exhausted. His whole body ached. Things were really complicated and he didn't understand a thing. This research of his was also a confusing thing for him. He did it alone then how did the royal Princes know it?
No matter what, he couldn't back away now. He is bounded to what he started.
....
Jin placed the unconscious girl on her bed. He looked back to see the rest of his brothers standing there. They all walked forward and surrounded her bed. The atmosphere was sinister and cold.
"She caused troubles again?", Namjoon asked.
Jin nodded with his hands inside his pant pockets. He took out one hand and pointed at her neck. "A curse shackle"
The black curse shackle appeared again but it didn't harm the unconscious girl. Jimin came forward and raised his palm over her neck. "Let's get rid of it"
But Namjoon held his wrist. "No need. Let it be there"
Jungkook, "Why?"
Jin looked at him. "Her existence is already risky enough. This will keep her away from dirtying her hands again"
Taehyung sighed. "That bastard grim reaper actually did something useful"
Originally Jimin was next to Iseul's head but Yoongi pushed him away and stood next to her. He put his index finger and middle finger on the side of her neck and tried to sense her pulse.
Hoseok,"How is it?"
Yoongi took away his hand and stared at Iseul. "She doesn't have a spiritual core but that doesn't matter to her. Demonic cultivation doesn't need a spiritual core. Once she is free from the shackle, if she wanted,she can still become what she was before. But for now,she is too weak. Useless"
Namjoon, "We need to make sure that she stays useless"
Jimin frowned. "It will be impossible"
Jin smirked. "What's impossible? As long as she is in our playground, she plays according to our move"
Jungkook,"We just need to play until the prey comes to the trap"
Jin was in his deep thoughts for a while and decided to voice out. "What should we do with Xie Ming?"
Jimin,"She still loves him. I saw it when I encountered him yesterday. Their fate is entangled"
"Let's stop for today. Let her rest. For now,let's take care of those grim reapers", Namjoon said as a final word and decided to leave the room.
Others gave a quick glance at Iseul before leaving one by one. The last one to remain in the room was Yoongi. He sighed like he was relieved. But a sudden sorrow took over his face. He couldn't help but to remember their past. Iseul had made him go through extream torture. She destroyed his spiritual core and he fell from his godhood to a mortal. He was someone who had the biggest ego yet he still had to kneel infront of her. She made him powerless. Those darkest memories were traumatic.
"Everything was my fault", he mumbled.
.....
[Past time]
"Your majesty! General Iseul had been the pride and grace of our kingdom. But lately,she had been a disgrace to our whole kingdom by saving a bunch of demonic cultivators! This is not good! I kindly request you to punish her for her rebellious actions!"
The minister of management section,Kim Jungjae, brother of the Queen, knelt infront of the throne and begged from the King.
There were so many ministers lining up infront of the throne. There were two political sides and they were Nothern party and Southern Party. This Nothern party was the Queen's side. While the South party had King's relatives. Though they were from King's side,they were very deceiving and cunning. They had the power to decide who is going to be the next king.
Crown Prince Seokjin was also having a seat in this meeting. His seat was lower than the main throne but still sat next to the King. He frowned. "Didn't she say that they were just a bunch of old people? They were trying to find something to eat and our guards were the ones who had attacked them first"
Kim Jungjae still kept his head lower. "That's what she said. But the rest of the guards had given their words. They said it was those evil creatures who attacked them first"
Seokjin was furious. He strongly believed his sister. But no one had sided with her. "Of course they would say it to save themselves. Don't forget that she is still the royal princess. You are disrespecting her"
"Your highness, we are not trying to disrespect her highness. Of course we all know that she is the hidden princess of the kingdom. But she is just a General infront of people. She did wrong and she has to be punished ", Another person from the North party spoke.
In this matter,South party decided not to get involved. Iseul can be a great ally to them in the future. They had already brought it up to her secretly but she had refused them. They still didn't give up on her yet they decided not to speak for her. If she needs protection, she has to agree to their terms. But the stubborn princess would never bow her head to them.
"Father,please,have a fair judgement. Iseul said it was our soldier's fault", Seokjin begged.
King sighed. "Even though she said that,the rest of the soldiers had denied her statement. You said I have to be fair. Then according to law,it was Iseul's fault"
Jin held his breath. Iseul was really at a disadvantage now. She had defended some demonic cultivators and now she has become an eye sore to everyone. He really wanted to save his sister but he had no power. "Your highness, please", Seokjin begged.
"Lock her up in dungeons for two weeks"
