chapter 42
...Flower of Evil...
Beomgyu and Yeonjun entered the time zone via a portal. As Yeonjun pressed a small button in the watch,it was set to the date they wanted to see.
Inside the time zone,it was like a space with thousands of galaxies. There was no exit as they entered. They were floating in the space. But it wasn't just a space with planets. There were so many blury pictures of people everywhere with stars.
Beomgyu was in awe. The blury images seem to be calling him.
"Don't pay attention to them", Yeonjun said as he was still doing something on the wrist watch.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know. Some are stuck in past,some are stuck in future and some are lost in time zones. They will try to pull us too if we pay attention to them. So,don't look at them"
"Don't we like need to help them?"
"Don't be an idiot. Do you want to get stuck here as them? There are people who are assigned to investigate about them. So,it's none of our business. Now,focus. I'm opening a time frame. You'll see everything. And again,I'm warning you. Do not touch the frame. Okay?"
Beomgyu nodded obediently. He wished he was knowledgeable as Yeonjun but he was just a junior who escort souls. But Yeonjun is someone in a higher position.
Suddenly, a frame was opened infront of them. It was like a TV.
Beomgyu looked at the screen with so much focus. He saw himself in it. He was in traditional clothing and he could say that he used to be rich looking at the cloths.
But it was not his youth version. It was his teen age. Maybe 15 or 16?
He was in green robes as he was sitting infront of an old man inside a room. There were two tea cups on the small table.
"Beomgyu, I have to ask something", the old man said.
Little Beomgyu nodded. "Yes father"
Apparently,the old man was Beomgyu's father.
"Today,his majesty asked me to see him"
Beomgyu, "His majesty? Why did his highness want father to see him?"
Mr.Choi sighed. "He brought a proposal to me. To be specific,a marriage proposal. He wished to marry his daughter to one of my sons"
Beomgyu widened his eyes. "What,but father,his majesty only has sons. I have never heard of a daughter"
"He does have a daughter. His majesty doesn't wish to tell the truth to the world. Have you heard about the general Iseul?"
"Don't tell me — she is a princess!!"
Mr.Choi nodded his head. "Have you seen her?"
Beomgyu shook his head. "No father. I haven't seen her. But I have heard of her"
"Hmm. She is the princess. For some unknown reasons, his majesty wants to keep her as a secret. But he wished to marry her off to one of my sons. I know that our family don't wish get involved with politics but this is a good opportunity. This gives us a lot of privilege"
Beomgyu nodded understanding his thoughts. This might pave more paths to them to extend their family business. "But father,brother Yeonjun is already married. And brother Soobin has a fiance"
The Beomgyu on the other side of the frame was taken back. He looked at Yeonjun on his side with wide eyes. That was his brother?
Yeonjun didn't look at Beomgyu.
Beomgyu, "W –Why? You are — You,my brother?"
Yeonjun smiled slightly. "Hmm"
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
Yeonjun, "I didn't want you to remember the past. I was scared that if I said it,you might remember everything"
Beomgyu was speechless. He wanted to say more but what Mr.Choi,their father,said took his attention.
Mr.Choi,"You are going to marry her"
Both Beomgyu in the time frame and out in the times frame,widened their eyes.
The time frame changed. It was a scene from the Palace. Little Beomgyu was walking towards the library for an unknown reason. As he was walking, he paused for a moment and looked back. He saw her.
Iseul.
Iseul was watching him with her brothers.
His breath was held in his throat as he guessed who was the girl. Princess Iseul. Who would even dare to hang out with royal Princes if not her.
It was his first time seeing her. His cheeks turned red as he turned around immediately and walked inside the library. Closing the door,he pressed his back against the door and took a deep breath. His heart was beating so heavily to the point his hands were shaking. The expression in the little Beomgyu scared the adult Beomgyu.
"...I...I want her", he mumbled to himself.
Adult Beomgyu widened his eyes as his heart was beating with the bold statement little Beomgyu said. He felt chills. It almost seemed like little Beomgyu was obsessed.
15 year old Beomgyu clenched his fist as he opened the door aggressively and ran away.
The time frame changed to a different scene. Beomgyu's looks had taken a matured look here.
In there,it seemed like Beomgyu was mad and furious as Mr.Choi scolded him.
"You can't marry her! Have you heard of the rumours?! She is a whore!"
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! IT'S NOT TRUE!I SAID I WANT TO MARRY HER AND THAT'S IT —"
He was met with a fierce slap from his father.
"How dare you to raise your voice at me! I said you are not marrying her!",Mr.Choi left the room.
Soon,Beomgyu started smashing everything in the room like a little psycho man.
The door of the room was opened again and this time,it wasn't his father. It was two young men. Yeonjun and Soobin. Beomgyu's older brothers. They were both tall and handsome.
Yeonjun immediately held Beomgyu who was still trying to smash everything.
"Gyu! Stop it!", Soobin yelled as he snatched away the porcelain clay pot from Beomgyu's hands.
Yeonjun hugged him from behind, trying to calm him down. "It's okay it's okay. Calm down. We'll see what we can do,okay? Brother will try to find about what's happening. I'm sure her highness Iseul didn't do such a thing"
Beomgyu slowly calmed down in Yeonjun's hands.
The adult Beomgyu outside the frame was pale from head to toe as cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
The time frame changed.
In this scene,Beomgyu was killing some common people at a night. Blood was all over as his sword slashed people. "You all dared to insult her. I will kill every fucking piece of shit who insulted her highness"
The time frame again changed.
Beomgyu was packing his stuff. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were red from the anger.
Then Yeonjun entered his room. "Gyu"
"Don't stop me. I'm going to that island. I was supposed to her husband. And I'll be her husband and will stay with her"
"She is dead"
Beomgyu's hands stopped. His eyes were unreadable. He slowly looked at Yeonjun. "...what did you say"
Yeonjun looked at his younger brother with a sad look. "Last night, her carriage was attacked by some unknown people. One of my close friend was at the investigation team and he said that. King had ordered to keep it as a secret and no one will know about her death"
Suddenly, Beomgyu started laughing. He laughed like a maniac as tears started to leak from his eyes. It seemed like he is in denial. He won't believe it.
Yeonjun looked like he wanted to comfort him but he was scared to approach this Beomgyu.
The time frame changed again.
Reaper Beomgyu was shaking. He couldn't believe what he just saw. The Beomgyu from past looked like an obsessive freak. He loved Iseul? No,that can't be. He couldn't believe it. In the present time,he had a somewhat okay friendship with Iseul and he couldn't accept his madness from the past.
"Gyu"
Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun.
"Things won't be good from now on. You can still stop here"
Beomgyu gulped and took a deep breath. "No,I want to see"
Yeonjun sighed and nodded.
They looked at the screen.
In there,Beomgyu was a man in his twenties. He was really handsome and masculine. He didn't have a long hair like others. His hair only reached up until his shoulders and it really looked good on him.
He was being dragged by some Soldiers and their eyes were pitched black like they were bewitched by some demonic cultivator. It was obvious that they are Queen Iseul's soldiers.
Soldiers dragged him towards the throne room. Beomgyu had a very calm expression as he was being dragged and he didn't dare to look up. His hands were tied behind his back.
When he was pushed to the ground, he fell on his knees. And then,there was a sound of heels clicking on the floor. Soon,infront of his eyes,there was a person in a long black dress. He couldn't see her feet as the gown had covered her feet.
His whole body went numb as a cold finger touched his chin making him look up. Beomgyu's droopy eyes looked at the owner of the finger. A skin paler than a dead body,bloody red lips, black eyelids and long eye lashes. The gorgeous queen Iseul. Love of his life.
Her cold fingers stroked his cheeks and then his lips. "You'll be good in my bed,right?"
Beomgyu from the outside the frame shivered.
Inside the frame,Beomgyu was calm as a river. "I will, your highness"
Iseul seemed like she was satisfied with the answer.
He was immediately brought to a room by Iseul's order. It was a room which was prepared to have him bath. He was washed and was given some comfortable robes and then was brought to a room.
It was a red room. Completely red. From bed to walls,everything was red. As he was staring at the decorations, a cold hand ran through his spine to his right shoulder.
Beomgyu was stiff. He felt her breathing next to his ear. "Strip"
The scene changed again.
Beomgyu was inside his bedroom and he was covered in bruises. Scars were all over his body. It seemed like Iseul was brutal with his body. There were still blood stains on his body but he didn't look like he was mad or sad. He wore his cloths and looked at his bruised wrists. It seemed like his wrists were tied by a strong robe or something. He kissed his wrist and smiled.
The scene changed again.
Beomgyu was following two soldiers as they entered the throne room. Iseul was on the throne seat and was looking so hot yet calm.
Infront of her were two men in their knees.
Beomgyu widened his eyes seeing who was that. They were his brothers. Their hands were tied behind their backs.
Soobin was the first one to react seeing him. "Gyu!"
"B –Brother?"
Yeonjun heaved a sigh seeing him alive.
Iseul,"So,this is the brother you were asking about"
Beomgyu looked at Yeonjun. "What's happening? What are you two doing here?",He looked shocked like he didn't expect and want them to come.
Iseul chuckled. "Your brothers are here to rescue you,of course. So,what do you say? Do you want to leave?"
"No!", Beomgyu immediately replied.
Yeonjun and Soobin looked shocked.
Soobin,"Choi Beomgyu! What do you mean by 'no' !"
Beomgyu glared at him. "You shouldn't have come. I don't want to leave"
Yeonjun, "Wake up Beomgyu! She is not a human! Do you still — Beomgyu, please"
Beomgyu looked at him blankly. "Brother,I don't like it when someone insults her"
Soobin was furious. "What the fuck is wrong with you! She has killed a lot of people! She even killed our mother! Do you know that! Wake up idiot!"
"SHUT UP!", Beomgyu angrily yelled. His eyes turned savage and beasty.
"Look at yourself Gyu. Look what she has done to you!", Yeonjun begged.
"Brother,I advice you to mind your own business and leave", Beomgyu said flatly.
Iseul was enjoying this so much. She decided to take the drama to an advanced level.
"Beomgyu, why don't you go with them? They seemed to miss you so much"
Beomgyu knelt infront of her. "Your highness, please. I don't want to go. I want to stay"
Iseul smiled wickedly. "Is that so?"
"Yes"
"Hmm. Do you know that your brothers have been helping the rebellions to attack my Palace? They have joined the rebellion groups"
Beomgyu's lips twitched like he was hating what he just heard.
Iseul stood from her seat and approached Beomgyu. "Sweetheart, would you like to punish these traitors for me?"
Beomgyu was taken back. So did hi brothers.
Beomgyu looked up at Iseul's eyes. And he took the hardest decision in his life within a single second without a hesitation. "I will"
Iseul pointed at two swords infront of Soobin and Yeonjun. "Take one of them and kill that man", she pointed at Soobin.
Beomgyu's eyes trembled.
The Beomgyu outside the frame was ashen. He prayed to not let himself take the sword but it didn't go as he planned.
Beomgyu took Soobin's sword and stood infront of Soobin who was staring at him with wide eyes.
"Beomgyu, no", Yeonjun said. He shook his head vigorously. "Wake up Beomgyu! He is your brother!"
Soobin couldn't even speak.
Beomgyu looked at Soobin. His expression was blank but his hands were trembling. "You shouldn't have gone against her", he said.
Soonbin, "...Gyu"
Beomgyu raised the sword and slashed it across Soobin's chest.
Soobin kept staring at Beomgyu. "...my child", he mumbled before falling on to the ground. Soobin's wife had given birth to a daughter few weeks ago and he couldn't see her because of the rebellion army works.
Yeonjun screamed. "NO!!SOOBIN!!"
