...Flower of Evil...

It wasn't a fairytale. Because it had no happy ending. Who said everything will be fine. For some unfortunate people,it was never fine and will never be fine. You cannot mend a broken mirror. The scars will forever be there.

The news about Queen Iseul spread around the world and they were naturally threatened by her. And her ruling had brought an absolute destruction to the kingdom. Enemies took this chance to take the kingdom in the name of justice. What a facade.

But no one could touch Iseul and her Kingdom. Iseul had become a grandmaster of demonic cultivation. She knew how to play the most forbidden and unforgivable demonic arts except rebirth. It was the only thing she couldn't do. But it was what she needed. She tried her best to find any information about this forbidden spell but apparently it was a very old technique that no one had the permission to pass it down to the next generation. Thus,she couldn't bring back her child and husband.

Except that spell,she mastered other forbidden spells and played dirty to win. She massacred 80 cities and killed their rulers,spreading her domain. She was crazy in her head. She was no different than a a beast now.

She even tortured her own people and laughed seeing their pain. She didn't see any value in lives. Everyone was livestock for her. She killed as she preferred and lived as she willed.

She had imprisoned the former Queen Yejun in an underground prison after destroying her spiritual core. She tortured her an inhuman way and then let the doctors save her.

But her brothers? She house arrested them. They were in their own palaces but couldn't go out without Iseul's permission. They were just two mortals who couldn't fight back. They didn't even try to run away and did as Queen said.

Yoongi did as Iseul said for the sake of Jungkook and Jungkook did as Iseul said for the sake of Yoongi. They rarely saw each and if it was a day to see each other,then they would be filled with anxiety. Because if Iseul allowed to see each other,then it is to see each other suffering.

Iseul was satisfied with this. She even made the great mighty Yoongi fell on his knees to beg mercy for Jungkook. It was a moment to celebrate for her.

That day,Iseul brought both Yoongi and Jungkook to the throne room. Jungkook was looking soulless when he was dragged into the room. His eyes used to shine so brightly but there was no more.

Iseul sat on her throne with a smile. She ordered something very disturbing and disgusting. She brought a bunch of girls and asked to dirty Jungkook.

Yoongi couldn't take it. He fell on his knees and begged.

"Do anything to me! Don't do this to him! Please,I beg you!please,Iseul. Jungkook can't take it. You can tortured me till I die. Just don't do this to him!"

Jungkook was numb. He couldn't speak. His face and body were bruised from all the torture. He clenched his fists and tried to endure everything.

"Is that so? Then,are you willing to take his place? But aren't you someone who preferred purity? Your cultivation was mostly based on the purity of your body", Iseul hurt him as possible as she could. She knew how to stab the wound. Yoongi couldn't cultivate anymore.

Yoongi's hands trembled as he was kneeling on the ground. He gulped down and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. "...Use me"

Jungkook shut his eyes. He had nothing to lose anyway. Atleast he wanted to protect his brother's purity. Yoongi had done so much for him. He couldn't let Yoongi take his place. "No need"

Jungkook knelt infront of her. "I'll do as you say"

"No! Jungkook! Back away!"

Iseul rolled her eyes. "Take him to the room", she signalled to his guards and they all took Jungkook away with the girls.

Yoongi tried to run for him but he was held back. "No! No! Jungkook!"

Iseul laughed like a crazy woman. She was shameless. She was satisfied seeing Yoongi's tears.

Their lives were like this.

Jungkook and Yoongi suffered so much in the hands of their sister. They never complained.

To Jungkook, his only happiness was the little golden fish in the pond in his Palace. He would stare at the fish all day and that was it.

And Yoongi,he constantly tried to talk to Iseul and make her come back to her senses but it never worked. Their Iseul was far away from them.

And they heard about the news about Queen's death. It was a horrible death. Yoongi and Jungkook witnessed her death.

She was cooked alive in a big pot infront of every Palace member.

Yoongi's face was green while Jungkook vomited his guts out.

Yoongi couldn't take it anymore and asked the guards to let him see her highness Iseul. But they didn't let him as she was enjoying her night with someone in her bedroom. Yoongi was utterly disgusted. She had been bringing men from all over the kingdom. She had gone crazy.

Yoongi waited outside Iseul's Palace whole night in the cold. When she came out early in the morning,Yoongi scolded her and begged her to stop her madness.

Iseul was irritated by this. She was sick of his lectures and scoldings. Who does he think he is. She is the fucking Queen for god's sake!

She pulled a knife and handed it to Yoongi and brought his hand with the knife to her neck. "Here,I'm giving you a chance to kill me. It will be over once I'm dead. Come on. Do it. Go ahead"

Yoongi widened his eyes and backed away immediately. Why didn't he kill her when he had the chance? Just why?

She walked away with an annoyed face. As she was walking away,Yoongi saw how her hand had been burnt. He softened his eyes. She had been hurting herself in these days.

Day by day,Iseul's insanity increased. She was unrecognisable now. Alcohol,men and blood were she wanted. Her lips had turned completely black and black vines like line had been running through her chest area. The darkness was swallowing her.

She had shaken the heavens and earth. She brought a pure hell to her kingdom.

She had lost her mind.

She wasn't satisfied with anything.

And that day,she used former Queen Yejun's spiritual device to hang Yoongi. The thorny tree. She had taken the control of the  spiritual device to her hands. Just like how her husband was hung on it to die,she did the same thing to him. She stared at him as blood was dripping down from his whole body.

Even though she laughed seeing him dying, her eyes were saying another thing. As she laughed, tears rolled down.

Yoongi looked at her for one last time and mumbled, "It's my fault that you became like this"

Her smile faded.

And like that,he died.

Jungkook was brought to see his body. He had a small peaceful smile seeing him dead. Finally, his brother Yoongi is free from the clutchers of devil.

And at the evening, there was an attack to the Palace. This was not the first time. There were numerous attacks in the past and they were all done with the leadership of Prince Hoseok. He only asked to give back his brothers and that's all. He was trying his best to rescue his two brothers but little did he know the fate of Yoongi.

That attack was not successful as always.

After a month,Jungkook fell ill. His body was too weak at this point. Iseul hadn't tortured him for months because of his weak body but now he had fallen ill terribly.

Jungkook asked the guards to ask Iseul to come and see him. But she had refused the request. So,he brought his weak body infront of her closed doors. It was a snowy night. So cold.

"Iseul,can you come outside for a moment?", He asked weakly and coughed loudly. He shivered badly as snow fell on him. "Just a moment is enough"

No one came.

Tears fell from his eyes. He knelt infront of the palace.

"I need to say something", he whispered.  "Give me a chance. Please. I want to see you"

No reply.

"....I lied. I lied,Iseul. I never hated you. Not even once", His voice was trembling as he cried. "I wish we could go back to the time when we used to steal fruits from the old uncle. I want to annoy our brothers with you", He cried as clenched his hands. "Can we watch the sunrise together? For one last time?"

No one came out.

And he passed out.

He never woke up.

He couldn't see the sunrise. Neither could he see her.

After his funeral, Iseul locked herself in her chamber for days. She laughed and cried. She didn't even know what she was doing. 

And like that she was alone again.

To tell you the truth,my heart was hurting so much when I was writing this chapter. I even cried as 'dusk till down' was playing in the background. I really cried because I'm the one who knows the secrets. I think this story has too much angsty. Is it bearable for you?

Hope you enjoyed

See ya soon
