...Flower of Evil...

The screen showed something Iseul didn't want to witness. But she had to see this for herself. She braced herself and hardened her heart. The hatred was slowly surging her body as she saw Prince Jungkook walking towards the lady Hayoon's chamber at night.

But someone stopped him. "Jungkook"

Prince Jungkook looked back to see Prince Jimin. He smiled slightly. "Oh,brother Jimin. What is it?"

Jimin approached Jungkook. "Where are you going? Didn't we promise to go and beat up those assholes who speak bad about Iseul?"

Jungkook widened his eyes and smacked himself on the head. "I totally forgot! Brother, you go with brother Taehyung. I'll come back later after checking on lady Hayoon. I heard she is ill. I couldn't pay a visit because of the works. I'll be quick and come back"

Jimin nodded. "Alright. I already paid a visit. You go ahead. We'll be waiting"

They parted away like that. Jungkook turned around and headed towards the lady Hayoon's chamber. When he got closer,he saw a pair of shoes outside the chamber. It looked familiar for him.

"Mother?", He mumbled and looked at the door of the chamber. He looked at the chamber guards and asked. "Did my mother come?"

They didn't answer him. Their eyes were focused on nothing like they were in a trance. Jungkook was pissed for a moment when they didn't answer him. He was about to snap at them but he heard a weird sound coming from the chamber. Like someone is struggling to breath? Or speak?

He immediately barged inside only to halt in his steps. What he saw something he never expected. It was like a bucket of ice cold water had poured all over him.

Iseul outside the frame was staring at the scene with wide eyes. She went pale.

Infront of Jungkook, was his mother Jeon Jihyun with a knife. She had just stabbed lady Hayoon just infront of his own son. Jungkook's mother's left hand was covering Hayoon's mouth while her right hand was stabbing Hayoon continously. She was back facing Jungkook and was immersed in her act that she didn't notice her son at all.

He went ashen in colour as all the blood in his face was drained away. He couldn't speak for a while as he was terrified by the gruesome act her mother was doing.

When he finally snapped out of it,he mumbled. "Mother"

Jihyun paused and looked back.

Iseul fell on her knees as she couldn't stay stand. Yeonjun looked at her and his eyes held a tiny concern but he masked it over with indifference.

"H –How could it be? No,this isn't right. W–Wasn't it him who k–killed her?", she mumbled to herself like she is trying to console herself. She turned to Yeonjun and looked up. "Something is wrong with this time frame right? Right? Yeah,it is. Something is very wrong"

Yeonjun,"Nothing is wrong with the time frame. It only shows what happened. This is exactly what happened"

Iseul shook her head vigorously. Her throat went dry as she was trying hard to digest the truth about her mother's murder.

When she wasn't looking at the screen,the last self and Prince Yoongi had already arrived the chamber. Iseul still couldn't raise her head to look at what's happening.

Iseul in the past had brought the royal physician to check her mother but she was already dead. By now,Prince Seokjin was also there.

Iseul finally raised her head hearing Jungkook's words.

"Now,don't you dare to lie mother. I know what you are thinking. Since I am your son,are you going to admit that you did it? Stop protecting me already!! I can protect myself! I killed her so yeah! It is me! Iseul! I hate you! I hate you! I hate everything about you! You are nothing but a daughter of a servant woman! I hate how I pretended to be your brother! I am not your brother! Get that inside your head! Believe it or not! I am the murderer of your mother!!!"

And then,Jungkook's last words before he died,rang through her ears.

"I lied, Iseul. I lied. I have never once in my life hated you"

Is this really happening now? Iseul didn't want to believe it. No,she has to be right. She is the right now. She did right by torturing him right? No one gave her an answer.

And then,there comes Seokjin's order to put her in house arrest. Iseul was dragged away from the scene leaving a disheveled Jungkook, a messy lady Jihyun,distressed Seokjin and the pale face Yoongi.

Yoongi turned to Jungkook who was kneeling on the ground silently. His eyes were red and broken. He looked pathetic.

Yoongi,"Jungkook, why did you lie?"

Jungkook, "I didn't lie. I killed her"

Seokjin frowned. "I don't believe it"

"Jungkook, if you won't speak the truth,I have my own ways to make you spill the truth", Yoongi threatened. Before he could speak anymore, a soldier came inside.

"Your highness! General Iseul ran away!"

Seokjin widened his eyes. He looked at the rest of the guards and ordered. "Tie Prince Jungkook and lady Jihyun with spiritual bindings and bring them to the interrogation unit", with that he ran outside.

Yoongi looked at the dead body and squinted his eyes before swearing under his breath and dashed outside. He caught up with Seokjin and stopped him. "Wait! Is there anywhere we can keep Iseul away from spiritual beings and demons?!"

Seokjin, "Huh? Why?"

Yoongi was getting desperate. "I'll explain later. We need to lock her up somewhere no demon or spiritual being can invade!"

Seokjin hardened his eyes. "The dungeons. The spiritual bars can prevent any demon from entering the cage. That's the nearest place"

Yoongi nodded. "It's good enough. Find her and lock her up"

Just then Hoseok came running there. "What the hell is happening?! Iseul's mother died?!"

Seokjin looked at him and grabbed him by his shoulders. "Hoseok,we need to find Iseul immediately. No time to explain everything. Go and find her. She is worked up. Be careful. We need to bring her to the dungeons! Go go go!"

Hoseok didn't ask further questions and ran away to find Iseul.

Cold sweat had appeared on Yoongi's forehead. He looked back and walked towards the lady Hayoon's chamber again. When he was passing by the door guards,he stopped and looked at them. They were staying still without bowing or saying anything. Yoongi's frowned and walked closer to one of the guards. After scanning his body,Yoongi placed his hand on the guards back only to find a talisman. It was a cursed talisman which made the guards empty shells without a consciousness. Once he removed the talisman, the guard blinked his eyes like he just woke up.

Yoongi's eyes went dark as he stared at the evil talisman. With a flick of his finger, all the talismans behind the door guards bodies came flying to his palm. After sealing the talismans into a useless state,he put them inside his inner robes and went inside the chamber.

Royal physician was still there checking if there is any other cause for her dead.

Yoongi, "You may go outside for a bit"

Physician bowed and went outside leaving Prince Yoongi and the dead body. Yoongi squatted next to the dead body and brought Hayoon's hand. A scar was there. "So,it was a blood contract", he mumbled. "You sold her to the demon?"

He took out a small glass bottle from his pockets and muttered a small spell. Some blue dots appeared on the air as they were just flowing in the air freely. They were the remaining amount of Hayoon's soul.

Yoongi, "To the bottle", he ordered as his eyes glowed up a bit. All the blue dots flew inside the glass bottle.

Yoongi closed the bottle and put it inside his robes. "It seems like you did a terrible mistake. But Iseul won't like to see you suffer. So,I'm not going to let you fall into the abyss"

With that he stood up and walked away.
