Chapter VII

Myung-Dae POV:

I said those words and I know that those words had affected her but not in a good way. She put on a blank face and I know there won't be any further argument so I did what I was doing before but this time more calmly. I took her wrist and dragged her in the castle. We both stayed silent and the only voice that can be heard is the sounds of foot echoing in the hall.

Soon the walk ended and we were in front of two big oak doors. I pushed them open and entered first. She also entered the room and I tried not to laugh at her expression. As soon as she entered the room her mouth opened and her eyes became wide. I gave her time to examine the room and she took it completely. One second she is standing in front of the doors and then she is on the other corner tracing her finger on every book present on the bookshelf. I choose them personally and I know those are her favourite books. Seeing her happy makes me happy too. She looks like a small child who has seen chocolate for the first time. The twinkling of her eyes and the smile which is dancing on her plump lips just made my day.

I cleared my throat and she instantly looked at the doors where I am standing with a smile plastered on my face. But as soon as she saw me her smile dropped and the same blank look was again. I just hate that look but still, she looks the most beautiful girl in the world.

"Do you like the room?" I questioned already knowing the answer. I know that she likes the room but she will never admit it. I know her.

"No, I do not like the room but forget all of this just tell me why I am here?" she questioned.

"Because...this is going to be your room from now on" I declared.

Her face expression quickly changes from blank to anger and I know that what is coming next won't please me.

"And who do you think you are to decide for me to where I will live or not" 

She tried to remain calm but I know that she is controlling her anger but she has to understand that this has to be like this.

"I am the only one who will decide where will you live" I retorted back and turned my back toward her.

"Ho...how is my father, my Gunwoo....the people of our kingdom which were under my father's protection the people I love and care....how are they?...are the al... alright are they...alive?"

She tried to remain calm by taking long pauses between her talk but a sob finally made its way out of her mouth at the end. I knew this would come. How I want to just run to her and console her but how can I do that while I am the cause of why she is crying. I want to look back and see her beautiful eyes but I know that I can't do that. I know that I will lose my calm. I know that she knows that I am the one who attacked their kingdom but I tried to act ignorant.

"I do not know what you are talking about, how can I know how they are!"  I replied emotionlessly. I know I am lying to her but that is good for both of us.

"You...you whoever you are don't play with me"

"I do not know what you are talking about" I again tried to play the ignorant act.

"Do you think of me as a fool! Do you think that I will not ever know who attacked my kingdom? You think I am that of a big fool to think that our kingdom being attacked and exactly after that, me being kidnapped is a coincidence. You better not take me for granted."

She replied with hatred lacing her every word and I know that I am at the verge of losing control. So I did what was best at the time because it will be good to end this conversation here because it will take us nowhere. She is angry at this moment and me arguing with her will only worsen our situation. So without giving her a second glance I made my way out of the door but not before closing it.
