chapter 24
...Flower of Evil...
The Crown Prince Seokjin rode his horse with full speed. His face was bruised and dirty but still his handsome features had no reduce. His red ribbon around his forehead was a little crooked.
He urged his horse to run faster. When he saw the Palace,his heart rate fastened. He had heard that they got the win but he wasn't in a situation to celebrate it.
When the guards saw the crown Prince,they all opened their gates and let him enter. Infront of the main conference room,he stopped the horse and jumped down. He rushed inside to see his brothers. He took a second to look around and saw the remains of the fight. It was a mess. Everything was destroyed.
With a loud bang, he pushed opened the doors. But seeing an unexpected figure, he froze.
"Y –Yoongi?"
The heavenly official,his highness Yoongi was infront of him with the rest of his brothers. No wonder they had won the battle inside the Palace. Before the five Princes had reached the Palace with their army,Yoongi was there,fighting alone. Since he was a heavenly official, his powers were more stronger than anyone else.
Jimin excitedly ran towards Jin. "Brother!look! He has come to protect us! We don't have to worry about a thing now! Since Brother Yoongi is with us,no one can defeat us!"
Indeed,that was the truth. But it was not a simple fact. No heavenly official had the permission to interact with human affairs as they wished. Atleast not like this. They had a limit. And descending down to the earth again is a big no. They can't show themselves infront of humans from their true forms.
Seokjin, "H –How,why —"
It seems like Yoongi sensed his concerns. "No need to worry. I will handle everything in heaven when the time comes. For now,let's save our kingdom"
Seokjin was outrageous. "Are you crazy?! Do you even know what you are doing?!"
The rest of the Princes were taken back. Shouldn't he be happy to see their brother again?
Jungkook, "Brother,what's the matter?"
Seokjin was still staring at Yoongi. "He absolutely cannot interfere with humans! This is against the heavens law! Yoongi! Go back! Right now!"
Yoongi sighed. "Brother,are you telling me to rest and chill up there when my kingdom is going through this hell?! Our people are suffering! Our brothers would have died today if I weren't here! Our mothers would have been slaughtered! Are you still saying I shouldn't have come!"
Seokjin, "YES! IF SOMEONE IS DESTINIED TO DIE,THEN THAT PERSON SHOULD DIE NO MATTER WHAT!"
Namjoon, "Brother!"
Seokjin, "Yoongi,please go back. Thank you for helping but you need to go back. You might be banished to earth by the heavenly Emperor if you continue this"
Yoongi,"I don't care. My decisions were all wrong. I shouldn't have ascended when my family is still down here. I thought I could help by ascending as a god but no. All I could do was watch! Balancing good and evil? I can still do it while living here"
Seokjin was furious. The godhood was something everyone dreams of. Not just anyone can reach a heavenly calamity.
Yoongi frowned suddenly. "By the way,why are you hear? Where is Iseul?"
Seokjin stiffened. Anyone could see his tense facial expression.
Yoongi,"What happened?"
Hoseok,"Where is she?"
Seokjin decided to put away Yoongi's situation for now. "The battle was fierce there. Enemies had taken hostages to threaten us. Iseul went along with the hostages to keep them safe until we bring back ups to save them. She had decided it without telling me and when I got to know it,it was too late. Enemies had taken them to their borders"
Taehyung, "WHAT!"
Jimin,"Iseul"
Yoongi's face turned dark. He was glaring at Seokjin. And Seokjin knew why. Before Yoongi had ascended, Seokjin promised him that he'd protect her. Jin felt like a failure infront of Yoongi.
Yoongi sighed. "Get ready. We are gonna save her and the rest of the hostages"
They were the warriors who fears nothing yet right now,they were scared. If it was just saving hostages, they were sure that they could save them. But with Iseul,they were scared that they'd fail to rescue her. They just loved her too much. She is their only sister, so of course, brothers would love her to infinity. To keep her safe,they'd sacrifice their blood,sweat and tears.
After making sure the Palace was safe,the seven Princes rode their horses towards the borders of the kingdom. Bringing too much people would attract attention, so they were the only people who went to rescue the hostages.
As they passed the borders,they could see a lot of tents in far.
Seokjin was in the middle and unsheathed his blade. Yoongi was ready with his spiritual device,fan. Taehyung took out his bow and stretched an arrow to it. The rest of the boys pulled out their swords. The killing intends were heavy around them. Their chilling blades were crying out with heavy murderous intends.
And the next scene was truly disturbing. They killed an slashed who ever came on their way.
Yoongi jumped down from his horse and used his fan, creating a heavy wind which made half of their enemies hurl away. He blocked their sword attacks with his fan and shoot spiritual flames using his palm.
Taehyung put five arrows at once in his bow and stood up on his horse before jumping down. As he was jumping down,he shot the five arrows at once.
Jungkook was too calm while using his sword. He was only using one hand to hold his sword and the other hand was behind his back. Though his posture was calm,his killing intend was too heavy to bare.
While others fighting, Hoseok went to search for their sister. He entered a tent and was attacked by a group of enemies. But he handled it and went to another tent. After searching for few tents,he sighed. As he reached the last one,he paused. He widened his eyes and opened it only to meet a sword attack. He used his own sword to block it.
"BROTHER!"
It was Iseul who had attacked him. Behind her were the rest of the hostages.
Hoseok immediately pulled her into a hug. "We were so scared! Thank god you are safe!"
She chuckled, "What are you even scared of? You know I can protect myself"
Hoseok nodded but still didn't let her go. Even though Iseul bragged about her selfishness, saying she doesn't care about people,she really doesn't mean it. She cares. Otherwise she wouldn't have volunteered to be a hostage to protect the innocents. And Hoseok knew about it. His sister is kind and sweet.
Suddenly Iseul pushed him away. Hoseok was dumbfounded. When he looked up,Iseul was already fighting against two men. He collected himself and joined her.
Iseul,"Brother! Be careful! You could have died!", she scolded after killing the two enemy men.
Hoseok smiled sheepishly. "Sorry"
Iseul nodded. "Let's take these —",she paused. Her eyes went wide seeing the white clad man. "H –His highness"
Hoseok,"No time to explain. Let's take away these people!"
And like that,they saved the hostages and left to their kingdom. Iseul didn't have time to speak with Yoongi. But after sending the hostages to their homes,they reached the Palace. Inside the Palace,Iseul could finally meet her brother Yoongi. But why does she feel awkward? Both of them clearly didn't have a good relationship as siblings but they were all in the past.
Yoongi approached her and stood infront of her. His hand reached her and caressed her hair. "How have you been?"
She smiled. "I've been good"
Yoongi nodded and patted her head before turning around to leave. Still cold as ever. But Iseul could now see the gentleness in his eyes. He had always cared about her but she had always been blind.
Iseul,"Your highness"
Yoongi paused.
"...I'm glad to see you again"
Yoongi nodded and left.
Jungkook followed him and jumped on his back. "I'm tired! Take me to my Palace!"
Yoongi,"No"
Jungkook, "...."
Yoongi looked at Namjoon who was next to him. "He is sleeping, right?"
Namjoon laughed and nodded. "He really likes to sleep on your back"
Yoongi sighed before walking away with Jungkook on his back.
Seokjin, "Iseul, go and rest. You must be tired today"
Iseul,"No need,no need. There is still things to be done. I have to read the reports of my soldiers and make a summary report to his majesty"
Seokjin sighed. "Alright. Let's do it together. I need to make some reports too"
She smiled and nodded.
The day was exhausting but with her brothers by her side,she could do anything.
