A/N: There is a little gore in this chapter…so..uh.. fair warning (?)
~~~~~~
There was a familiarity to him, but you couldn’t place it. The prince’s dark, droopy eyes bore into yours as his advisor spun on Master Lee, “What is the meaning of this?! Were you hiding your servants from his Highness?”
Your master struggled to come up with an answer, but Sungjin, the sneaky devil was quick on his feet.
“She’s my fiancé,” he smirks, “I’m sure you can understand my desire to hide her.”
At that moment, the prince looked to his advisor.
“Minggyu,” his deep baritone reached your ears.
“Yes, you Highness?”
He turns to Minggyu, speaking in hushed tones before walking away. Minggyu turns back to Master Lee with regained composure, “The prince has chosen his bride. You shall be compensated for your service to the kingdom.”
The advisor quickly spun and made his way to you.
“Miss, if you will please follow me. Your transport is waiting for you.”
What.
He gestured to a palanquin right behind the prince’s much larger one.
WHAT?!
“Please Miss. I am not to touch you.”
That snapped you out of it. You walk right over to the palanquin and right as you were about to sit down when Master Lee ran over.
“Wait, you can’t do this!” He yells as he pushes past Minggyu, grabbing your arm harshly. He began to pull you out of the palanquin when suddenly the force wasn’t there. You fell back into the palanquin but the grip was still on your arm. That when you looked down…and screamed.
Master Lee’s hand was still holding onto you as the man wailed from the ground. MInggyu was quick to take the hand away and throw it in the dirt.
“You have touched a member of the royal family. Any compensation you were to receive is now what you are to pay back to the royal family. All of Silla will know of your family’s shame.”
The last thing you see is the raging face of Sungjin as the curtain closes and you’re lifted into the air.
