Chapter 14
Lilia furious storms into her room, she immediately put on her dress and started packing clothes and food. She quickly left as she was running from something. Jin's cold scary expressions were hunting her down, she was about to get exposed and she feared her life, as well as Lilia's. '' Damn you, silly girl! this king loves you to the point of knowing your own soul'' she mumbled to herself like she was talking to someone within her '' But this won't stop me from glory, If this king refuses me, another will welcome me with open arms '' She laughed as she rode on a horse. She galloped pass the stone gate and towards the dark forest.
Jennie slowly opened her eyes, head spinning around and memory as blur as her vision. "My lady ?'' she called as she was slowly getting up from the wet ground. The two witches were laying next to her motionless, she softly shook wakte eyes filled with desperate hope, '' Lady wakte, lady Hake ? '' she softly spoke. The women slowly moved moaning from pain " My whole body aches " Hakte spoke,'' What's happened '' Jennie asked helping the two women up, Hake pointed towards the thirds witch laying on the ground " Apte has spoken a very dangerous ritual transferring her soul into Lilia's body and controlling it, however, hers was left behind uninhabited.", '' Can we do something about it ?'' Jennie asked "Nothing ! the poison she fed us made us very weak", "Well at least we can chase after her, she couldn't have gotten far await" Jennie agitated trying to keep her calm, '' Jennie ...'' Wakte spoke, " It may have seemed like this only happened minutes ago, but in real life, it's been a month and a half". The loyal maid stood frozen remembering what the witch of time have warned her before, that the bubble was fast-forwarding time outside of it. She sighed sitting back on the wet ground " We have to go, we have to warn the king '', "Will he believe us ?" the two witches asked, "I'm sure he will".
Gustav Entered the grand royal tent, walking with his muddy shoes on the fancy elegant carpets then stopped in front of red thin curtains and kneeled '' Your majesty ", '' What do you want ?" a cold voice harshly screamed from inside, '' I have reported on the Eastland kingdom status ", "and ?'' the voice spoke again, " They have all the Jaguar army". A silence took over the room then suddenly yoongi came storming out from behind the curtains, standing tall with his pale cold torso and black messy hair "WHAT? I thought you said the Jaguars escaped from the land ", '' Your majesty, I was wrong...''and before Gustav could finish his sentence, yoongi grabbed his collar firmly and spoke, his breath hitting the intimidated soldiers' face "I don't want you to be wrong ! they have a powerful army and a witch beside them'', "Well...your grace, the witch ..." he coughed making the king release his grip '' What about her ?'', '' She... came to see you ''.
Lights were switched on around the castle and the dinner table was filled with the usual plates, The king joined the company at last, he was held again in his office working through the kingdom's demands and responsibilities. He sat on the chair laying back his head " Where is Lilia?" he spoke looking around the table. "I believe she is in her chamber my lord, should I ask for her ?'' Arthur spoke politely '' No need, let her be " Jin responded grabbing his plate. The knights noticed the king's strange behavior but didn't dare to ask until the innocent little boy spoke " Should I go call her? I want to apologize to her '', " You don't have a reason to, what happened in the party was simply an accident" Jin responded coldly, ''Pardon me to ask my lord...'' taehyang finally stepped in '' But is there something going on with Lilia ?". The question caused a strange silence in the room, Jin softly put down his fork and immediately grabbed his face as he was trying to calm down his thoughts. The knights noticed his distress and didn't dare to say any further. The door opened and the gate guardians came running inside '' How dare you interrupt the royal dinner '' Arthur yelled at the two young men, "Please I have no mood nor energy right now, I want to have my dinner in peace " Jin sighed looking back at his cold plate, " But your majesty ...'', ''You heard the king '' Arthur signaled to the room guards who started pushing the boys out,'' But your majesty it's about my lady Lilia's maid " they yelled behind the guard arms. ''Wait !'' Arthur spoke '' Jennie? she is alive ?'', "Yes my lord and she wishes to speak to the king, she says it's urgent ''. Arthur looked back to the king hoping he could accept his request '' Your Majesty...'', "Fine! Bring her in ".
" Well, well, well what do I have here ?" Yoongi smirked rooming around the kneeling young lady, " What happened ?'' he spoke softly grabbing her chin '' Have you switched sides ? or is this an ambush?" he looked at her with his cold sharp black eyes. '' I was kidnapped by Jin and forced to serve him, my lord, I had no attention into betraying you " she softly said looking at him seductively. For a second, the king was memorized by her intense gaze, he stood tall, shook his head lightly and laughed " We'll see about that !".
"Are you sure of what you are saying ?'' Hoseok asked again the girl and two women for the hundredth time. ''It was all my fault" her eyes filled with tears '' I was the reason she was hurt " she claimed looking guilty towards Jin. He only stood there silent with no reaction on his cold blank face, "...Lilia is under her spell, that evil nitch wore her body and put her in an internal sleep'' Hakte explained, " We need to find her and reverse the spell", she looked towards the men standing right in front of her. " You must think we are idiots to believe what you just said" Jimin frowned glaring at the women, "Send search team tonight, We will start immediately," Jin spoke rising from his chair. ''But Jin ! what makes you believe this cra-", "The one thing I believe more than anything...''Jin glared with dark eyes '' Is that woman wasn't Lilia".
