...Flower of Evil...

Rumours didn't stop. They kept going like a wild fire. And people started making their own stories to entertain themselves but little did they know how their actions are ruining someone else's life.

Iseul didn't try to explain anything. Just after the battle ended,King had given an order to stop Iseul's activities temporarily. She really needed her time alone to gather herself but she didn't want to stop her activities. Rather than running away,it was the best to face everything head on. But she had no saying against King's order.

That day,Hoseok decided to pay a visit to her Palace since she had not come out from her Palace for so many days. Her brothers were worried and went to check on her from time to time.

When Hoseok entered her Palace area,he saw her playing with two little dogs and a cat. After a long time,he saw a genuine smile on her face. Her garden was full of flowers and plants. It was a perfect place to play with her pets.

"Didn't you still give names to them?", He asked as he crouched down next to her.

She shook her head and continued to tease her dogs while petting her white cat. "They don't need names"

"Why? They are your pets. They need names too", he took a small dog to his hands.

Iseul,"I don't know how to name them. What if one day,I don't like that name? I can't change the name once they got used to it,right? So,I'll just call them however I want"

Hoseok was speechless. "You are ridiculous"

Iseul shrugged her shoulders. "I wish I could change my name because I don't like it anymore. But I can't do it. I don't want that to happen to my babies"

Hoseok,"What will you do when you get pregnant with kids? Are you not gonna name them?"

This time,Iseul really had a big problem. What will she do when she had kids? She gasped. "Brother! Then please! Choose a beautiful name for my baby! Will you? I don't like ugly names! Or maybe I can let them grow without names too?"

Hoseok had a very big judging look on his face. "You....Why are you so stupid?"

Iseul,"I have seven brothers. How did I end up like this? I guess,I'm like this because they are stupid?"

Hoseok scoffed and pinched her ear. "You little brat"

"Ouch!"

Both of them had a good laugh and spent their time with Iseul's pets. Hoseok was glad to see her smile and he couldn't ask anymore.

After playing with Hoseok,Iseul decided to go and see her sick mother. On her way to her chamber,she saw his highness Yoongi who was also going the same way.

"Your highness!"

Yoongi looked back and his expression wasn't that good like he didn't expect her to come. Nevertheless, he cooled his expression and nodded. "Going to see mother?"

Iseul nodded. "Yeah. I want to sleep with her tonight. It's been so long I slept beside her"

Yoongi,"Oh,hmm. I was going to pay a visit to your mother too. Then,I'll come later"

Iseul widened her eyes. "No no no! You can come with me too! I mean,let's go together? Mother would be happy to see your highness"

Yoongi was hesitant but agreed seeing her excited eyes. So,both of them walked towards Iseul's mother's chamber. When they got closer,they saw two pairs of shoes outside.

"Guests are here?", Iseul mumbled. She was surprised. Who would visit her mother at this time? No body really comes to visit her mother. And,where are the servants?where did they go? Iseul was outrageous. Why would they leave their mother when she is sick?

Iseul and Yoongi looked at each other before knocking on the door. No one answered. For an unknown reason,a foreboding feeling crept into Iseul's heart.

Iseul immediately opened the door and went inside. The first thing she saw was her brother Jungkook holding a knife with his bloody hands. Next to him,his mother stood with wide eyes. Then her eyes went to the person lying on the floor lifeless.

Her body went cold. She couldn't speak nor could she move. She felt like a needle was poking her heart aggressively. It was like the floor beneath her vanished to the thin air.

"...mother?", A whisper left from her lips.

She dropped on her knees next to her body. Her eyes were shaking and misty. "No,no no NO!!", She pulled her mother to her lap and tapped her cheek gently. She didn't look at the stabbed wound on her chest and tried to wake her up. "Mother! What's happening?! Open your eyes!"

On the side, Yoongi stood with wide eyes. He looked at Jungkook who was on the verge of crying. The knife on his hand fell down as he backed away.

Iseul tried to stop the bleeding and felt that her mother was still alive. With wide teary eyes,she placed her mother on the floor and turned to look at Yoongi. "Your highness! My mother is still alive! I –I know you can do something! You have that magic blue powder! You –You cured brother Seokjin when he was about to die from the battle injuries! It's a heavenly medicine right? Please"

She was pleading with hopeful eyes. She was hundred percent sure that Yoongi wouldn't abandon her mother. Her chest was rising up and down with her heavy breathing as she looked up at him.

But Yoongi just stood there.

"...Your highness, please. Save her. I know you can do it"

Only Yoongi could save her now. No doctor could save her since her grave places had been stabbed continuously. It was an animalistic stabbing. So brutal.

Yoongi,"...I don't have it"

Lies.

Iseul was at loss. She didn't expect such a response from him. "Your highness"

No response.

He looked away.

Iseul's world shattered.

"..brother", she mumbled and looked at with her red teary eyes. "Save my mother,I beg you"

Yoongi still didn't look at her.

Iseul respectfully knelt infront of him and kowtowed placing her forehead on the ground. "I beg you! Please! Have some mercy and save my mother! Your highness!!"

It was getting hard for Yoongi. He closed his eyes and didn't look.

When Iseul felt that he will not save her,she decided to seek a physician because it was her last hope. She stood up and was about to run,but,

"No doctor can save her", Yoongi mumbled. "...she is dead"

During the chaos,her mother had already heaved her last breath.

Iseul didn't want to believe it. She ran away and quickly found the royal physician and brought him to the room. The people who were initially inside the room were still there but with an addition of Seokjin.

The doctor checked her and shook his head. "She is dead"

Iseul still decided not to believe it. "No. That's not true! She can't die!", she held the doctor by his collar and shook him violently. "AREN'T YOU THE ROYAL PHYSICIAN?!! DO SOMETHING!SAVE HER!",she cried.

Seokjin immediately pulled Iseul away and tried to calm her down."Iseul,calm down"

Iseul cried hard and crawled to her mother. Her trembling hands touched her cold cheek. Iseul's lips were trembling as she cried in agony. "Mother! Mother!"

Seokjin hugged her from behind but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Iseul's eyes snapped towards Jungkook who was still frozen on his place. He was staring at Iseul's dead mother.

"Who did this? Brother, who killed my mother?", she asked. Her blood red eyes were poking holes into Jungkook's soul.

Jungkook's eyes were shaking and unfocused.

Jungkook's mother came forward and was about to say something but Jungkook answered before her.

"I DID!"

Iseul,"....!"

Seokjin, "...!"

Yoongi, "...!"

Jungkook gulped hard and heaved a shaky breath. "... I did. I –I killed her"

No,Iseul didn't believe him. She couldn't. "Brother,stop joking! Tell me who did it?!"

Jungkook,"I SAID I DID IT!I KILLED HER! CAN'T YOU SEE THE BLOOD IN MY HANDS?!!"

Iseul shook her head. "You are lying!!", she then looked at his mother who was staring at Jungkook with wide eyes. "Your highness, tell me,who did this to my mother?"

She was trembling heavily. "I –I "

Jungkook glared at her. "Now,don't you dare to lie mother. I know what you are thinking. Since I am your son,are you going to admit that you did it? Stop protecting me already!! I can protect myself! I killed her so yeah! It is me! Iseul! I hate you! I hate you! I hate everything about you! You are nothing but a daughter of a servant woman! I hate how I pretended to be your brother! I am not your brother! Get that inside your head! Believe it or not! I am the murderer of your mother!!!"

Iseul was blank. Her head was like a boiling hot pot. She couldn't think rationally now. No logic could defend Jungkook in her mind. She stood up and faced Seokjin. "...You heard him. Arrest him"

Seokjin was at loss of what to do. He couldn't utter a single word.

"Brother,I beg you to punish the murderer of my mother!"

Seokjin, "Iseul,calm down. You are not in your senses now. We can talk about this —"

Iseul,"I don't want to talk. He confessed. We can talk about it after arresting him"

Seokjin sighed. He looked at the door way and spoke. "Guards"

Two guards came in.

"Take General Iseul to her chamber"

Iseul widened her eyes. What is this?

Seokjin looked at her. "First,you go and rest"

"You are going to lock me up in my own room?", she was in disbelief.

"It's not like that. But stay there for few days. I'll take care of everything. Hm?"

Iseul shook her head with wide eyes. "Brother,you are...what are you trying to do? Shouldn't you be arresting the murderer? Why are you ordering your guards to take me away?"

Seokjin looked at his guards. "Take her and don't let her escape"

Guards bowed and grabbed Iseul by her arms. She was speechless. When she came back to her senses,she was already outside of her mother's chamber and was being escorted by the guards.

Her face darkened.

Unexpectedly, she kicked the two guards and punched them before running away.

She ran and ran and ran without a destination. She could only run inside the Palace. After a long time,she found stopped near the pavilion. She held into the wooden pillar and panted heavily.

Just as she was about to sit,a hand was placed on her shoulders.
