"That means..the King's soul..."

"No..." jungkook frowned at his answer jolting up on his seat.

"W-what do you mean!?" "Unfortunately when your majesty was killed..his soul, his wife's and their daughter's soul was captured in the orb right after their death.

You will get to know the reason why when the story is revealed. Even the orb is kept in a safe place under the Golden dragon supervision.

I can't justify how many or who are the souls present in this palace but one thing is sure that they are with us with only one motive. That is Freedom from this cruel trap.

They might get angry too but being considerate i hope everyone knows how to handle them" he let out a deep breathe "my apologies if i build a fear in anyone but this was important to shower some light on it"

"How I'm gonna sleep tonight" you whispered munching onto your food, unknowingly hand still holding his while he silently continued eating.

The atmosphere around you didn't feel at ease, silence wrapped around everyone. Only the tingling of cutlery could be heard.

Not so long after, everyone was done by dinner and began leaving to their rooms "are you up to something tonight" luca whispered, more like creeped you out as soon you got up.

"What do you mean mister" you scrunched your nose walking towards the door "let's sneak around~" he tip-toed to you like a thief with a smirk.

Jungkook was walking behind at a distance from you, enough to hear the talk. He wanted to stay with you tonight but felt the lack of a position in your life.

His eyes didn't leave your walking figure while you were bickering with the guy beside.

"No nonsense right now" "aisshh c'mon let's play some games, i know you're not sleepy yet and a bit scared aren't you~" his question left you embarrassed "ummm alright then" and you dashed towards your room.

He chuckled bitterly turning away his way as his footsteps echoed in the corridors leading him towards the library. Probably the most suitable place at this time.

How badly he wishes he could hold you in his arms tonight, to calm you and give warmth.

Lanterns and fire sticks were lit in the dark. Moonlight was enough to lighten the room slightly. He picked up the lantern with a mixed smile and took his feet around.

There are huge windows at the back of the library that give a magnificent and outstanding look, while also bringing in a powerful moonlight into the library.

Little plant pots stand in almost every corner of the library, giving it a unique and beautiful look.

The carpet was made thick and comfy but dusty as he walked around rolling his eyes all around, in hope to find something good to pass time.

The smell of the library is different. One could smell new ideas just by walking in, the powerful smell of imagination coming from the laying books on the shelves that want to be read.

The antique smell of the pages of old books, the untouched books lying on the shelves, the smell of the dust coming from these books made him smile from his heart.

Touching the smooth bindings of ancient and new books gave me a whole new perspective on books, The feeling of the thin and over used papers gave the book a strange new look, even though it is old.

The weight of the books differ from each other, there are some thick and heavy ones which makes it more hard to carry around and the thin light books that are more easier to walk around with.

I could feel the carpet underneath my feet, it is so comfortable to walk on. The piece of cloth on the chairs is made with the finest material for the convenience of everyone.

After all, the library of a royal family is important. It holds the records of those times.

I can hear the sound of night insects, the gentle wind around with slight chilliness.

My eyes caught a white dusty book in the right corner of the shelf. I don't know how or why only that book. It was quite different from all. "What's special in you hm" i smiled and murdered under my breathe while my mind was talking to me.

I grabbed the book patting it lightly to brush off the dust, i sat on the chair feeling the comfiness beneath me. "Looks like the king had a good interest in books" i opened the book with a smile but that smile couldn't last long when suspicious noises rang through my ears from the corridors.

As if something broke? I rushed my way out to ensure everyone's safe in their rooms and to my surprise all were. There wasn't any presence around me, as far as I've felt.

I decided to follow the noise and walked through the corridors, gulping the lump in my throat i calmed myself. "Who's there?!" i called out but there was no response.

At a distance i saw a huge frame dropped on the ground with its cover. Taking my feet towards the spot, i furrowed my brows bending down to check.

"What's this" i carefully removed the cover and tried to figure out what the painting was about. Seems like war land? Or maybe some historic event happened here? I don't know man.

Due to the dark i couldn't see properly and before anyone noticed, I hung it back in its place. I wonder how it fell, there isn't even anyone or wind around. Maybe the souls.

"I wonder what more crazy things are coming ahead" i sighed covering the frame back and walked towards my room. Spending time in the library can't be on my wish list for tonight.

"i guess I'm tired, experiencing such stuff at night ugh" i locked my door and plopped myself on the soft mattress while my eyes travelled out at the moon.

"I wish to see my moon before i sleep~" smiling ear to ear i silently dashed out of my room to hers. My ego did come in between but i chose to push it aside, after all she will be asleep. Fortunately it was unlocked like always "aish why she never locks".

There she was cuddled up in her blanket and pillows around her. She loves cuddling. Moonlight shining on her face as her hairs blew by the gentle air.

I sat down besides her, adoring her with a big smile on my face "ethereal" placing a soft kiss on her temple my hand moved to her hair stroking and sucking behind ear.

It was calm and peaceful, I'd spend hours and hours admiring her beauty being a philocalist "only if you know how i feel about you and how my heart reacts".

I whispered staring at her baby face, she's too cute. How can someone not love such a pure soul like hers, wait- i- the most.

I blushed myself burying my face beside her. I didn't imagine myself getting crazy in love with a girl, admiring her as she sleeps in her dreamland.

"Kooh..." "I'm here" she whispered ever so softly concerning my brows to crease. She must've felt my presence with her. 

A smile dancing on my lips while my eyes are not leaving her ethereal figure. My eyelids weighed down slowly as i drifted to a deep slumber holding her hand in mine. Delicate and fragile.
