MIN HA NA’S POINT OF VIEW
Things has passed by these past few days. Events passed by so quickly. So many obstacles in just a span of week. And most likely, I'm already exhausted and worn out.
The bastard who did that to me hasn't come to me once after that incident and I freaking sure hope he has been killed for breaking into the palace.
And still, I am stuck living a life in luxurious ways where even normal people couldn't even experience yet, I haven't even met anyone, not even Elisse or this King but maids and food. In fact, I couldn't do anything in this room except for sleeping, eating and bathing.
My body couldn't even get out of this place I bet you. I bet my life that no ghost could even escape in this tight, suffocating room. I just wanted to get out and be free—to have my freedom just like before.
There are too many bodyguards watching and all they ever said was wait. What am I waiting anyway? My life has been useless. What am I doing here anyway? Why won't the king meet me if he intended to drag me in his palace? Why would he drag me here if he won't let me see him at least?
Various questions roamed my mind and I couldn't even have a single answer. My insides are now fuming mad and I could feel my blood boiling in anger and frustration.
I am an impatient woman and I don't intend to be trapped here for the rest of my life now, do we? That King is seriously out of his mind if he really does do that to me. Might as well kill me already.
Crossing my arms over my chest, groaning and looking at the window. My mind couldn't help but ponder, how is Jungkook doing up there? What happened to Elisse now? Where is Yoongi?
With a sigh, I heard a knock on the door and remembered that it's time for dinner.
"Come in." I answered, sitting comfortably on the bed. They usually give me food in the bed like I'm a prisoner living a luxurious life. Ironic, right?
A maid came in and I glanced at her hands. She wasn't holding anything except for a box.
"Young lady," she called and giving me a usual slight bow. I was confused for a moment there because I was expecting food and I'm really hungry right now.
"What is it?" I retorted thinking that there's no food in her hands.
"The King has sent me here to give you this." She said, walking towards me.
Why don't the king just give me food instead of box? I sarcastically thought as I stood up and grabbed the box from her, shaking it a bit. It has soft sounds and thud.
It is not an object? Or food? How sweet. Note the sarcasm in there.
Is this some bunch of joke?
"And I'm also here to inform you that the King is going to have a dinner with you." She said making my eyes widened. I don't know if I should be happy, disappointed or frightened.
Should I be honored instead? That I get to have a dinner with the ruler of the all races? Should I feel like in horror movie because I'm going to have dinner with the most strongest and cold blooded man in history?
"Young lady?" I snapped out of my trance as the maid called me.
"Is something wrong?" She asked in worry, looking at me in the eyes. I just smiled, nodding.
I glanced at the box and back to the maid who just stared at me. She was startled as soon as she realized that I was staring back before she bowed, trembling a little bit. Her behavior made me sigh. Just how scary am I for her to be petrified around me?
"What is it?" I asked her, making sure that my voice don't come out as rude.
Even in this meter distance, I could still hear her gulped before delivering the message. "Are you going to have dinner with the King? I need your answer today, Ma'am. So that I can give the answer to the King."
I sighed and eventually nodded, putting the box on my table.
"Can I ask a question?" I asked and she nodded. "What is this, by the way?"
"The King said that you should open it yourself, Young lady." She said with a forced smile before bowing again, leaving me in this wide room.
Being in this situation, I feel like I could understand her fears. I just shrugged my shoulders and opened the box. There laid a nude-brown dress, a nude heels and a note. I grabbed the note and read it.
Wear this tonight, my Queen.
-Tae
I could feel my cheeks heating up. I don't know what's the reason. Deep inside, I felt shy but my pride just shoot up high as anger appeared within seconds.
Who does he think he is to capture me like this and randomly calling me a Queen when I'm just a random human and he's a vampire—strongest vampire that ever existed?
And seriously? Tae?
Who the heck calls himself Tae as nickname and tell a random woman about his nickname? When he's the Kim Taehyung, ruler of all races?
I breathed heavily and looked at the dress again. Should I accept this? I guess I have no choice, right?
I bit my lips and just picked up the dress, looking at it carefully. It was beautiful. However, it's way too revealing—too tight for my liking. Everything is revealing my skin. I'm afraid it won't fit and would show my fat belly. And to think it's quite cold tonight.
I sighed, wondering. What am I doing? Why am I living this way? Am I going to become a blood slave or not? I just pray that I won't be.
Tears rolled down my cheeks. I couldn't help it. I just missed everyone and it just aches my heart knowing so. I needed to be strong. I still have Elisse, right?
Closing my eyes tightly, I made my way to the massive restroom and dressed myself in the dress that the King sent.
After a few minutes of bathing and dressing, I looked at the wide mirror and noticed that it really suits me—I looked sexy in it. I wore my heels and made myself out of the room. My eyebrows furrowed when I held the door knob.
What?
I slowly turned it, and then noticed that there's no one outside my door anymore. No guards, no maids. No one. It was a peaceful hallway. What is this?
A small gasped left my mouth, realizing the position I'm in. Should I use this chance to escape?
No. I will surely be killed. I'm inside the palace for pete's sake! Wait-I won't be killed if I just escape without getting caught, right?
But...this is my chance to escape.
