Flashback continues :

Reha was combing her hair in her room in the servants' quarter.

She looked back hearing some knocks on her door.

She went to open it revealing three other maids Fela , Gisa , Hila.

" Do you need something ? " She asked with a smile.

" Don't flash your teeth at us. Don't act all cool and kind infront of us.  You know right what you are doing? " Gisa said with a evil grin.

" What do you mean ?" She asked oblivious of what they were trying to mean or say .

" Huh ! Now you won't even accept your doings right ? You b**tch !" Hola snapped and suddenly grabbed a pile of her hair strands. She tugged them mercilessly as Reha cried in pain.

" You think you are going to become Lord Taehyung' s queen ? He's playing with you. How dare you play with him when you already know that our princess is in love with him ?"

Fela caressed her cheeks and said , " Poor girl... She doesn't know what will come next..."

She slid her hand into her pocket and took out a matchstick . She lit it and held it against her cheeks.

Reha was crying loudly which made the other servants rush to her room. Fortunately a kind old gardener managed to get her out of their grasp.

She was panting heavily. Tears dropped from her eyes . Her cheeks were burned and her head was throbbing really bad.

The gardener shooed away the others and applied some antiseptic on her wounds and burns. They had even scratched her neck with their demonic nails . Crimson blood bejeweled her neck and collarbones.

Was this  end of her much waited love story ?

To make matters worse another servant informed her that the queen and the princess had summoned her presence in their private chambers.

The news of her affair and the scene which took place in her room had reached their ears .

Trembling ,she walked to the royal chamber.

As soon as she entered , a China cup was thrown towards her.

" Huh ! Mommy look at her ! She dared to mess with my future fiancee. I can't tolerate this !"

The queen kept quiet and observed her . Reha kneeled down with her head hung down. She was crying and didn't dare to look at them .

" Reha ? Is it ?" finally the queen spoke after a solid five minutes.

" Yes your majesty ." mumbled Reha.

" Hmm ... You are quite something. You messed with the fire clan and my daughter's love. I heard you even visited the River of Zate and the Behet Garden? "
asked the queen in a calm tone.

The princess was watching her with her eyes full of anger and jealousy.

" Yes your highness..." Reha said slowly.

" Do you even realise what you have done ?" The queen shouted in anger. Her eyes were the colour of red .

" Please forgive me your highness  . "

" You dared to shame our clan ? I will get you executed !"

" Please spare me . "

" How dare you talk to my woman so rudely ?" A deep voice echoed in the room .

Everyone looked at the door.

It was Lord Taehyung. He was fuming in rage. Everyone on heaven knew how dangerous that man was when he got angry. Probably there was no one who didn't fear him . He was the future emperor and no one could defy his glowing and powerful presence.

Beside him stood Lord Jungkook . He was about to cry seeing the condition of his noona. But he held it back. He was ready to fight anyone who made her cry.

Reha seeped silently as Taehyung went to her and wrapped her in his arms.

" You ! Remember that my clan is superior to yours ! How dare you all abuse her ?"

He shouted making them flinch and tremble in fear.

Reha felt safe .

He came to rescue her. Finally. Maybe she won't have to lose him.

A/n : Hehe....the main drama is still left munchkins ! Do vote , comment and share. It means a lot. Do recommend this book to your friends too. I want to see how others think of this . Bye bye till the next chapter !

To calm down use this adorable pic of our Taetae....oh my ..... He's soooooooo cute. This is my assurance that you won't find a person who's so genuine as him . Sometimes I get scared thinking what will happen if I don't pass his vibe check. He recognises fakes and trues.
