...Flower of Evil...

Iseul widened her eyes seeing Hoseok. She immediately clutched into his robes and cried. "Brother"

Hoseok softened his eyes and pulled her into a hug. "It's okay", he whispered and tried to comfort her.

She was trembling in his embrace like a little leaf.  Her pain was unbearable and unimaginable. Her mother was murdered and the killer was none other than her beloved  brother Jungkook. And then,there was another one who looked away when her mother was dying while the other one ordered the guards to lock her up. How much of a pain is she going?

She cried hard. "My m –mother", she mumbled.

Hoseok let her cry as long as she needed and he didn't let her go. When she finally calmed down,he let her go.

"I think you need rest now Iseul. Come,let's go. I'll take you to your room"

Iseul backed away. "No!"

"Why?"

Iseul shook her head. "They are going to lock me up there! Something is wrong with brother Seokjin! No,not only him! Do you know who killed my mother?! It was Jungkook! This is — ",she couldn't continue as she cried again.

She didn't notice the pitiful gaze of Hoseok.

"Iseul", he whispered. "I'm sorry"

Iseul was confused.Why would he suddenly say sorry?. "Huh?"

BAM!

The side of his palm landed on her neck.

Everything was a blur. Black dots appeared on her vision. She couldn't believe what happened. Her brother Hoseok betrayed her?

Why?

Why is this happening?

What did she do wrong?

Why her?

In this world,she could only believe in her brothers to rely on. She never had a reason to distrust them. She blindedly trusted them but now?

She was slowly falling into the dark abyss. No way she could find an exit now. The flower of hatred grew within her heart.

When she opened her eyes,she found herself in dungeons. Again. They had locked her up in dungeons.

She didn't know what to feel anymore. She was feeling empty. No emotions could be seen. She just laid on the floor just the way she woke up. She was emotionally drained.

She didn't know how much time passed. She didn't know if it was day or night. She just laid there like dead. She could vaguely feel someone coming and leaving to check on her but she didn't know who was it.

"Iseul"

She heard a voice.

"Iseul,it's me,Jimin"

Iseul slowly turned her head to the person who had just come. Indeed,it was Jimin. But she said nothing.

"Hey,you haven't eaten anything for days now. I'm worried. Please eat something", he sounded genuinely worried and concerned.

Iseul just looked at the ceiling and didn't say anything.

"I know you are sad and angry. But this is for your own good. Please,eat something. You are going to die like this"

"...then leave me to die", she mumbled.

"Don't say that! Iseul!"

A tear rolled down from Iseul's eye but she didn't cry.

"Leave me alone"

Right now,she didn't know if she could trust him or not. She didn't want her heart to be broken again. She decided not to believe in him.

Just then,someone else came inside. He was another general in a different army unit,Lee Taemin. He pushed a criminal inside a cell and locked him up. When he saw Jimin crouching next to a cell,he was surprised. And when he saw who was inside the cell,he was even more shocked.

"Your highness,what is happening? Why is general Iseul inside?"

He was Jimin's close friend. "Uh she is a bit sick. We can't let her out without any spiritual barriers which can hold on her. Until we make a better place for her,she has to stay here"

He lied.

Iseul smiled bitterly.

"What kind of illness is that?", Taemin asked.

Jimin bit his trembling lower lip. "No idea"

This was heard by the outside guards. They really believed this lie and the lie spread within the Palace in a few days.

General Iseul is sick.

She is mentally unstable.

She had gone crazy.

Various lies came within the lies.

Iseul kept refusing to eat or drink. Her body was going weak and weak. One day,Jimin decided to go inside the cell and feed her.

Iseul's ear picked up the sound of cell unlocking. Jimin sat next to her and tried to speak to her. "Iseul,stop being stubborn. You have to eat"

Iseul snickered weakly. "Stop pretending to be a good brother now. No one is here. You can show your true self"

"Don't say that Iseul. We love you", His voice cracked up at the end.

"No. I now understand. I had always been in an illusion. Family, no. I had never belonged to your family. To save your brother, you abandoned me"

Jimin seemed like he wanted to say something but he couldn't. He sighed and fell into a silent. In that moment of carelessness, Iseul stood up punched Jimin and locked him inside the cell before escaping.

She still had a little bit of spiritual energy to stir up trouble. As she saw the entrance, she was faced with guards. She didn't think twice before killing them.

She hid herself and tried to go and find her mother's funeral hall. Normally, there was one place where coffins of dead concubines would be placed. As she got closer to the funeral hall,she was dumbfounded seeing nothing. No coffin was inside it. It was like no one had died.

What?

She went inside but found nothing. Where is her mother's coffin? She wanted to atleast give her last greeting but where is the body?

"..your highness"

Iseul turned around to see her mother's servant woman who had been serving her all these years. Iseul immediately walked to her and asked. "Where is she?"

The servant had a sad look on her face.

Iseul,"Tell me"

"King ordered to not place her body in this funeral hall as she was not an official concubine. So,he ordered to bury her in the underground grave yard"

Iseul felt like a cold water bucket had poured all over her. Her mother wasn't even given a proper funeral. No respect at all. What did she do to deserve all this? Did she ask to get impregnated by the King? No,she was forced by that disgusting king and had to bare Iseul's disgusting birth yet she loved Iseul so much. She never asked love from the King. All she wanted was a home to her daughter. A safe place for her daughter.

She clenched her fist and it turned white with the force. Her eyes were bloody red and veins were popping out from her temples. "...where is he?"

"It's the annual Royal parade where he goes to see his people. He is already out of the palace"

Iseul couldn't digest anything. His wife died and he went out to see people to greet them?! She wanted to vomit blood from all the madness running through her veins.

"Your highness! You need to escape! They are searching for you! They are planning to kill you!"

Iseul didn't ask who is going to kill her. Maybe if she was in her right mind,she wouldn't have come to such a thought but after going through all these stuff,she couldn't help but to think of her brothers.

Without asking further questions, she ran away. On her way,she found a random spiritless sword after killing a soldier and wore a black cloak to hid herself. She took a horse and rode it outside the Palace. Her destination was clear. The parade.

Her eyes shone with an evil glint. She wished nothing but to kill everyone.

Finally, she saw it. The royal parade. Beautiful and marvellous yet Isuel could only feel nausea seeing it. It disgusted her. As she got closer to the parade,she knew that the heavy security around the parade won't let her go near the King. She jumped off the horse and used her remaining spiritual energy to jumped onto the rooftop of the nearest shop. She ran from roof to roof and finally she was able to catch up to the King's sedan.

She used her all energy to jumped down from the roof and landed right infront of the sedan. All guards were alerted and they unsheathed their swords.

She removed her cloak and stared directly at the shocked King. Upon seeing her face,she could see how his face changed from blue to green.

Even guards were shocked. They didn't know if they should strike or not. But seeing that she had no intentions of fighting, they didn't strike. But they didn't let down their guards and stared at her.

"Father"

She called him infront of everyone.

People started whispering.

King's face turned pale.

"My mother died,father. Why didn't you hold a funeral ceremony to send her off respectfully?", her eyes were misty. "Are you that ashamed to say she is your wife? Are you that ashamed to say I am not just a General but your own daughter?"

Gasps were everywhere.

Just what is she saying?People were dumbfounded.

Who is she?

Isn't that the general Iseul?

What is she saying?

Is she King's daughter?? No way!

"What are you doing here? You are sick,General Iseul. Go and rest. We'll talk later", the King managed to say some words after recovering from the shock.

Tears fell from Iseul's eyes.

"Am I sick? You don't lock up a sick person in dungeons, father. Oh,yes,it wasn't you. It was your son", she laughed bitterly.

"General Iseul —"

"Stop! You are still acting and pretending! What am I to you?! What was my mother to you?! If you had controlled your fucking dick,then I wouldn't have been born like this! Then you wouldn't have a wife you can't show to the world!! Today, I will tell everyone!! I will tell how much of a disgusting person you are! ", her madness was going wild and wild.

King couldn't take it anymore. He was anxious and terrified. His facade was going to be revealed by his unruly daughter. "You ungrateful girl! When did I have a daughter like you! Your mental illness is not good. Guards,catch her and don't let her escape!"

Everyone bowed and charged forward.

Iseul gripped onto her sword and charged forward too. The battle was fierce. Even without much spiritual energy, she was able to fight back.

Suddenly, a booming voice rang. "STOP!"

Everyone stopped and looked back to see the crown Prince Seokjin and Prince Taehyung who had just arrived with their horses.

They jumped down and walked forward. Taehyung had an extremely sorrowful expression while Seokjin was solemn.

Seokjin heaved a light sigh.

Iseul was blank.

She wasn't surprised when Seokjin pulled out his own sword. But still she couldn't get used to this.

He came forward and pointed his sword to her. "Surrender",his eyes had no emotion. Voice was ice cold and frosty.

Without a word,Iseul took her sword in both hands. She won't surrender.

Seokjin nodded. "...fine"

And the battle between the brother and sister started. Everyone backed away giving them space.

Iseul was clearly at a disadvantage because of her weak body and the spiritless sword. Only if she had her own sword.

Yet,she fought with her remaining strength. Blood was oozing out from her nose and eyes. Her body couldn't handle anymore yet she was forcing herself to fight.

Finally, with a one last strike from Seokjin, Iseul's blade broke into half. Her knees gave up and fell on her knees. Seokjin's blade was placed on her neck. He was panting heavily.

"General Iseul,you are under arrest"
