S2|Ch.6

...Flower of Evil...


Warrior Iseul stood in the middle of the battle field. Her robes were flattering with the wind as she fought with the enemy. Blood was all over her face as her vicious eyes were releasing fire. Her sword slaughtered every single person who came infront of her.

Her sword was quite famous because of the number of battles it fought along side its master Iseul. Its name was 'ruthless'. The sword lived upto its name.

This is how Iseul's youth started. A warrior and a General. She was busy in the battle field most of the time and she didn't have any time to interact with her brothers at all.

Meanwhile

Seokjin was in his chamber, having a serious conversation with the ascended god Yoongi who only showed himself infront of the crown Prince.

His highness Yoongi was sitting on a chair infront of the crown Prince Seokjin. Crown Prince put the tea cup on the table between them and sighed.

"Nian. A first class demon. Almost a ghost King type", Seokjin summarised what he heard from Yoongi.

His highness Yoongi nodded as he fanned himself from his white fan. His fan had changed since the day he ascended. The pure white fan had golden vine like pattern. Also his attire had also changed. His white robes had golden pattern on his chest area and sleeves. A glistening black ribbon was around his forehead.

"It took a long time for me to find about this demon. A very rare ancient demon. There are no information about this demon on books. So,I had to spend two years for this. Even after an year,this is all I could collect. It is very hard to find about a demon who has no origins",Yoongi said calmly. Yoongi couldn't be blamed. Heavenly officials are not just gods who chill around. They had a lot of responsibilities from annihilating demons demons who trouble normal humans and so on. So he has to travel all around the world to fulfil his missions while searching about the demon who attacked his sister.

Seokjin had a very complicated expression. "Without knowing any information, we can't do anything. Also,we can't wait until he does anything to Iseul"

Yoongi hummed which sounded like a soft sigh.

"I know you are doing your best. Don't worry. Let's find a way to keep Iseul safe", Seokjin said seeing Yoongi's depressed look.

Yoongi nodded. "How is she doing these days?"

Seokjin, "She is busy. She seemed to like the battle field a lot"

Yoongi,"Hmm. Keep an eye on her. Don't let her get hurt. Also the rest of the boys,take care of them"

Seokjin took a sip from his tea and smiled. "Alright"

••••

The scene changed to when the great battle fell on the kingdom and as a result, Prince Yoongi had to descend to the mortal world to save the kingdom.

When Prince Yoongi ascended, Iseul had been taken away as a hostage. The seven Princes had to go and save her and the rest of the hostages.

During the on going battle,Yoongi couldn't find a time to speak to his brothers about the important matter regarding Iseul. And then,there was another problem which aroused during this time. The rumours about Iseul.

Prince Seokjin had gone to meet his mother secretly to confront about the rumours. He met her in her Palace.

"Mother,do you have anything to do with the rumours regarding Iseul?", He asked directly.

Queen was sitting on a couch with a tea cup. She smiled. "How is this related to me?Did you come all the way from the battle field to here just to ask something useless as this?"

Seokjin couldn't help but to frown. "No matter how I think about this matter, I can only think of you,mother. And yes,I came all the way from the battle field to here just because of it. This is related to my sister. Her mental health is important"

Queen Yejun put down the tea cup on the table infront of her and looked at her son. "Do you have any evidence to prove I did it?"

Seokjin, "I don't need evidence to say it is you. Is there anyone else other than you who despise her the most? You never a let a chance to insult her slip away easily"

"So what if I did it? What are you going to do son?", Queen was confident. She stood up and came infront of crown Prince. "Do you have the power to do the justice for her? Though you are the crown Prince, you can't do anything without me. I hold the power here. And you obey me. Do you understand?"

Seokjin clenched his fists as he glared at his own mother. "Why are you doing this? She is just a kid"

Queen, "Not anymore. She isn't a kid anymore, son. She already has so many followers because of the recent battles. Do you think this fact will not affect your crown? Ministers are considering about revealing her identity to the society and your father had been paying more attention to her. Do you still think these things will not affect your position? Huh?",...."You are still naive to think of her as your sister. She is your competitor! You can just watch and see how she is going to crumble us all and claim the throne!"

Seokjin had a blank face. But his eyes were frosty. "If people think she is a better ruler and she is willing to take the throne,I have no objection"

"Kim Seokjin!"

"And it is her right to come out as the princess of the kingdom. It's you all who made her hide behind the Palace walls. If her identity is going to be revealed, then there won't be anyone happy as me in this kingdom"

Queen was shaking in fury. How did her son become like this? She tried her best to make him obey her but Iseul's entrance to his and his brothers' lives had changed them.

Seokjin talked indifferently. "So,I hope mother will stop your scheming against her. I might not have the power to go against you but I have the will to protect her. Even if it means giving up my own life. So be careful mother. I might die along with her if anything happens to her"

Seokjin left her chamber.

The Queen screamed in anger and crashed everything in her chamber.

As Seokjin came out from her Palace, he saw a girl walking. The girl stopped as she saw him. This girl was none other than Seokjin's wife. They were married when Seokjin was 16. But they had no any connection since then. The princess was brought back to her home as she was just a kid that time. But now she is a woman,she was again brought back to the Palace.

The princess was beautiful.She is the daughter of the minister of war,Lee Ji-eun. She was specifically chosen by his mother. And that's why Seokjin is wary with his own wife. He never paid a visit to her ever since she came to the Palace. He was afraid to be controlled. His mother is more than enough, and this wife is like adding salt to his wound.

The princess smiled as she saw him. But Seokjin's indifferent face didn't change. He turned around to leave without a word.

"Your highness!",the princess called him.

Seokjin paused. He slightly turned his head.

Ji-eun immediately walked to him."Your highness, h –how are you?"

Seokjin, "Good"

Ji-eun smiled in satisfaction as she received an answer. "D –Did you come just now? Do you want to come —I mean,would you like to have a tea uh with me?", she was anxious as she asked this question. Her husband had never come to her Chamber ever since she entered the Palace. She tried to be understanding as he is the crown Prince. He may have a lot of responsibilities.

"No. I'm busy", he said and tried to walk away. But she caught his wrist immediately without letting him go.

She hesitantly took away her hand as he was glaring at her."I just —I just want to say uhm don't over work. And be careful"

Seokjin nodded and took a step forward but stopped. He sighed and looked back.

She smiled as he looked at her.

Seokjin seemed to want to say something but he couldn't. He gave a small nod and turned around to leave.
He couldn't afford to lose focus when they were in the middle of a battle.

Outside the screen,Yeonjun commented seeing this scene. "That's his wife? But why doesn't any books have no note about her? It was like his highness Seokjin never had a wife"

Iseul was gloomy seeing all these things but decided to reply him. "I heard she had died before I became the Queen. I don't know how"

Yeonjun, "Few days ago,I saw someone like her in a commercial. Not sure if it is her"

Iseul,"You have a peanut size brain. How did you even remember? Should we go to a doctor? Let's do a CT scan"

Yeonjun, "Wow,look at you. The ancient one talking about CT scan"

Iseul glared at him and turned to look at the screen again.

The scene had already changed. The battle had ended and it was the time Iseul was spending her time alone in her chamber because of the dirty rumours about her.

Prince Yoongi was on the screen. He was in Prince Namjoon's chamber with Seokjin. The three Princes were having a serious discussion and their faces were looking distressed.

"Nian is a demon who doesn't feed on human flesh like other demons", Yoongi explained.

The other two who were sitting infront of him had confused expressions.

Namjoon, "Then how does he gain power?"

Yoongi,"He feeds on negative energy. Like hatred,guilt, anger like that. I don't know where is the origin of these type demons but they make their target their host and will amplify the negative energy in that targeted body"

This piece of information put a heavy weight on the two Princes sitting across Yoongi. They shuddered.

Seokjin, "So,those targeted victims will not remember the kindness because of the heavy negative energy in their body. Right?"

Yoongi nodded slowly.

Namjoon was pale like ice. "Then...our Iseul....what will happen to her?"

Yoongi, "I can't feel any demonic energy within her. She is fine for now. We need to stop the demon before he approaches her"

"How do we stop the demon?", Seokjin asked. "Where do you think he is now?"

Yoongi fell into a silence as he was thinking something. He had an unsure look. "I'm not sure",..."we need to figure it out. Also,I heard lady Hayoon is sick. What's wrong with her?"

Seokjin, "She has been sick for months now. Her health is getting worse"

Yoongi,"This is not good. If something happens to her,then Iseul's emotions will be greatly affected. Isn't this what the demon want?"

Seokjin and Namjoon widened their eyes as they realised it. Demon had already started his game!

Yoongi immediately stood up. "I'm going to visit her. You two go and find the rest of the brothers. We need to tell them too"

With that,Yoongi sprinted away.

Outside the frame,Iseul was frozen.

Yoongi had clearly run off to save her mother. But that day......

Why didn't he save her?

Iseul was ashen as she couldn't move.

Her heart was pounding so hard that it hurt her. The scene which is about to be revealed will not be good.
