...Flower of Evil...

How much painful would it be to hurt the ones you love? They will die every day while living with regret. There is no better punishment than regret in your life. There is no better punishment than hurting the people you love in order to protect them. Your mind and body will hurt.

The crown Prince stared at his sister who is going berserk infront of the King's parade. From this day,he will never be able to look at his sister like he used to. He will only see the hatred in her eyes.

I will explain. I will explain everything to you Iseul. If you don't want to forgive me even after that,I won't complain. I deserve it.

Taehyung, "It's time"

Seokjin gave a small nod and walked forward to stop Iseul and arrest her. He did it. The look on her face murdered him from inside. He placed his own sword on her throat.

She was again brought back to the dungeons.

Everything was planned to take Iseul away from the palace. Palace guards would be taking her out from the Palace. On the way,Namjoon and his most loyal guards will attack the carriage and will bring Iseul to the port city. Then Namjoon will go to China with Iseul. That was the plan.

When the carriage was leaving, Namjoon and his guards followed secretly. Namjoon saw how her sister was disrespected by people. His heart was aching but he couldn't appear infront of people. But he couldn't bear to watch it any longer. As he was hiding behind a store,his hand went to his sword. He wanted to kill those who threw rocks at her carriage. He had always been a gentle and calm man but not anymore. His eyes shone with murderous intends.

Just as he was about to unsheath his sword,he felt a burning pain in his heart. At first,he tried to ignore it but the pain didn't go,instead it increased. He held his chest and groaned. His legs went numb as he fell on his knees.

"Your highness!", A guard immediately came to his aid.

Namjoon's sight became blury. "G –Go after her!"

"But —"

"GO! This is an order. Go and take her to the port city. If I won't be in the port city tomorrow, then take her to the China. Please. Protect her", his eyes pleaded. His whole body was writhing in pain now. "Go", he whispered as he closed his eyes.

The guard was hesitant but bowed. "I will protect her at all cost",the guard stood up and asked another guard to take care of the Prince as he ran after the princess with his team.

Just then,Namjoon fell unconscious.

Far behind a tree,the demon Nian sat on a tree branch,watching them. He grinned as black smoke raised from his palm. "You want to take her away from me?", He tilted his head. "Tsk tsk,why don't you sleep for a while,I'll take care of her. And when you wake up,hahaha,you will slit your own throat"

Nian stood up on the branch and smirked. "She has always been mine. Mine to devour. My meal"

He disappeared and showed up infront of the soldiers who were running after the carriage. They had already entered the forest by now.

They all unsheathed their swords and pointed at him.

"Who are you?!", the head guard shouted.

Nian smiled gently. "Gentlemen,I'm Nian. And I'm here to,", his smile widened as his eyes had a glimpse of red. "Devour you"

In the next moment, their souls left their body and entered Nian's mouth. The guards fell dead on the ground. Nian flickered his fingers and the dead bodies on the ground trembled. "Get up"

The bodies without souls stood up like puppets.

"Your name?", Nian asked.

Guards,"We have no names"

Nian,"Where do you live?"

Guards, "We don't have a place to live"

Nian,"Then,who do you work for?"

Guards,"You"

Nian successful made soulless puppets who work for him. "Then,do as I control you all"

And the next events came to Iseul's life as a storm. It came and ruined her everything. Her innocence and purity were ruined. The most loyal guards of Prince Namjoon ruined his sister. Her dress was torn away into pieces. Her claw marks were on the ground. Her blood was splattered on the silent white flower on the ground.

And finally, she was thrown to the river of death.

When her soul was about to be torn by the river demons,Nian protected her soul. His plan was going smooth. He was about to approach the almost dead Iseul and take control of her emotions but to his bad luck,Xie Ming in wolf form approached her.

For a reason, Nian didn't go after them.
He watched them from far behind on a tree and grinned evily. "Deeper the hatred,tastier it is"

Meanwhile in the palace,Prince Yoongi was beside the unconscious Namjoon who was lying on his bed. His index finger and middle finger were pressed against his forehead as he transferred spiritual energy to his brother.

Prince Seokjin was behind him. "Everything happened while you were away. I would have sent you instead of him if you were in the palace"

Yoongi sighed. "I was caught captive by a few heavenly officials. I have been in the human realm for too long. And I even showed myself infront of everyone. I had broken a lot of heaven laws. They took me to the heavens and ask me to come and take my punishment"

Seokjin looked tired and exhausted. Now that the matter of Yoongi had come to this point,he was even more depressed. It seems like Prince Yoongi won't be able to remain in the human realm anymore.

"How did you come back then?"

Yoongi, "I asked them to give me one day to speak to you. I'll be leaving tomorrow and will receive my punishment. And I'll descend as a human. I can't stay there if I can't protect Iseul from there"

Seokjin widened his eyes. "What?! Are you crazy?! You!! You are going to throw away your heavenly status?!"

Yoongi sighed. "...yes. Nothing is important to me as you guys. What's so good about being a god? When you can't even protect your loved ones", he is forbidden from interfering into human matters. He can't even show himself to his siblings.

Seokjin didn't have strength to protest him. He knew that he needed Yoongi's help. After staying silent for a while,Seokjin spoke. "What will be your punishment?"

"5 years of imprisonment"

Seokjin almost choked on his saliva. Doesn't that mean that he'll have to keep Iseul safe for 5 years without Yoongi's help? He won't be in the human realm for 5 years.

Yoongi, "No need to worry. After tonight, Iseul will be gone to another kingdom. Find our master Luo Yunxi. He is in China. There's no better person than him who can protect her. I'm sure that he can find a way to destroy the connection between Nian and Iseul"

Seokjin was anxious about Yoongi's leave. But when he mentioned their master who had gone missing for years,he somehow felt a relief. His presence only bring a safe zone. Just like Yoongi.

Luo Yunxi is someone who had received a heavenly calamity as Yoongi but their master refused to be a god. He stayed in the human realm to look after the people.

Yoongi frowned as he felt a dark aura in Namjoon's heart. A curse. Someone had placed a curse on Namjoon's heart and Yoongi couldn't even sense it for hours. The curse was well hidden which is a smart move of someone. It would normally appear as a normal heart attack but how could it slip away from a heavenly official?

Yoongi was ashen when he realised something. His throat went dry and he couldn't gulp the lump in his throat. Slowly, his eyes widened.

"Iseul"

Too late. The sun was already rising up from east. If there was something, then it must have already happened to Iseul by now.

__________

When the siblings except Namjoon reached the forest to find what happened, their whole world came to a stop.

Seokjin stumbled towards the torn dress of his sister on the ground. The lump in his throat was too big to swallow.

He fell on his knees as he looked at the dirty dress with wide eyes.

One tear

Another tear

He couldn't control anymore.

His whole body was trembling as he stared at the bloody dress in his hands. From neck to face,he was red as he was trying hard not to sob. No,he couldn't. He choked on his sobs as he tightly clutched the dress.

"N –No", he choked up. He broke down into a hysterical cries.

The rest of the siblings didn't dare to move as they looked at the dress in Seokjin's hands.

Taehyung fell onto the ground with wide eyes. His chest raised up and down as he couldn't control his breathing. The pain crushed his heart.

Yoongi shook his head in disbelief. He didn't believe it. He couldn't accept it. He stumbled towards the blood traces and walked following the traces. He was sure that if he followed them,he would be able to find his sister alive somewhere. Even if she was on the verge of death,he can cure her. He will pour his soul to her. Just so she could live.

But when the blood traces led him to the river of demons,he was devastated. He immediately raised his palm and tried to search her soul in the river but he couldn't find. Not even a slightest bit of soul was left. He couldn't even sense her body.

Was she eaten completely by the demons?

Did they eat her soul along with her?

If that happened, then he wouldn't even be able to find her in netherworld. There will be no more Iseul.

Iseul watched everything with wide eyes. She couldn't think clearly. Blank. Her mind was blank. She couldn't understand.
