The winds howl at her ears,

crying by her side,

In the moonless night

It blows and forgets. Oh! It might.

Can it ever understand her?

Would it ever carry her sorrows?

Funny! She's begging the one

That never stayed.

Myrah pov

"Mmmm," I grunted, veered around, and rolled over to the side. The sunrays burnt my face as I pulled my blanket up. There is a courtroom session today, and when did this couch become a giant? I wondered and coerced myself to stand up.

After getting ready, I made my way to the courtroom.

It was wearing out, for the ministers once thought they could raise their voices with me being seated.

I monopolized them, then the topic of discussion was the west coast insurgents, to which I proclaimed that I would visit them.

Later when the session terminated, I was welcomed by Hyunjin.

"Your Majesty, how was your slumber?" he asked.

"Fascinatingly good." Who dropped me onto the bed though?

But, thankfully, no one knows about yesterday night's drama. Yoongi made sure of it. He earns a prize from me.

I shook my head as he resumed, "Your Majesty, my trusted man found out that Namjoon has an illegitimate child!"

"Playing around with a woman when he is engaged?" I asked in astonishment.

"Not positively, Your Majesty. The mother of the child is a slave whom Namjoon bailed and ultimately had a baby with." he spoke.

"Hmm, the subjects deserve to know this. Spread this as a rumor and get your hands on the child without actually dirtying yourself," I asked,

"And, find about that woman,"

"Your wish is my labor," he said and bowed.

"Not yet, give this to Yoongi," I told, as I gave him a letter.

"Sure, Your Excellency," Hyunjin said and left.

My eyes wandered under the burning rays, I saw Tae's spy. I nodded my head lightly as the spy bowed down and went after Hyunjin.

Raising my hands, I moved them, feeling crampy. "Ugh," I groaned as my shoulders hurt due to yesterday's saga. It has been so long since I came to the castle and I haven't practiced my skills yet. I should from tomorrow onwards "ow," I snorted as I stretched my hands.

"What happened Myrah," Ri-ma asked in apprehension as she joined me.

"Call Mira to my garden, by evening," I asserted and left to take a rest.

Sat among the green humungous trees, I inhaled the fresh air. It was clammy, the sun didn't set yet it was shady already.

"She refused to come, Myrah," Ri-ma said as I fanned myself with the delicate fan that Jimin sent me as a gift today. This means Jimin isn't informed about this yet.

"The wind is weak today, I assume the sky will storm. Let's get back," Ri-ma ushered.

Oh! how I adore the dark sky. I denied leaving until it rinsed away the indescribable sorrow.

In a few minutes, Mira barged inside as my soldiers ran after her.

"It's okay, let her in," I asked the soldier.

As soon as the soldiers let go of her hand, Mira cried.

"Why would you abduct my kid?" she asked as I brought my hands to my ears.

"Why so noisy?"

"Let her go. Please," Mira implored as she fell onto her knees.

I waved my fan and nodded my head in disfavor. "No."

"I am s-sorry Myrah, please have some humanity. My daughter is fucking 2 years old," she wailed.

"I said not to be loud if you want your kid safe. And humanity? Where did it go, when you sent men to exterminate me?" I asked as I let out a chuckle.

"She's got some humor, don't she Ri-ma?" my laugh settled in as I watched her.

"How dare you!" Ri-ma raged as she strangled her neck with her hands.

"Ri-ma, now now. Don't be so harsh," I requested as she let her go.

"I was ordered by the Queen Dowager," she justified hastily.

"Please, I would do anything you ask me, anything." her lips quivered as she streamed her tears out.

"Serve me as my maid, go bring my new shoes," I asked.

Curling her fist, "I am at your service, My Queen," she spoke painfully between her gritted teeth.

"Don't open your mouth until said. Is that understood?"

She nodded as I said, "Your kid will come back safely. Your Chief maid will assign you some labor," I instructed.

Tae I knew, as usual, was one step ahead of me. He clutched the child's arm the very night when his spy announced him. Only very later, I figured it out.

In a few minutes, Mira returned with her shivering hands, held up my legs, and slid them into my shoes.

I mandated all of them to leave me unattended. As I stood up, taking long strides along the garden, the darkness encompassed me as the cold breeze aroused undesired feelings that were entrenched deep in me.

A familiar gloom, the desolate sorrow. At the moment, it didn't bother me if my actions were rational or not. Gruesome or not. All I want is to be impassive to anything. And I ensured myself that these are the steps for me to be emotionless.

My mental weariness hasn't been let down yet. Closing my eyes, my past played in my mind, but the past didn't seem to concern me anymore. These don't make connotations. I rather take fancy in relishing my inner beast. It ain't unnerving, it comforts me.

My steps didn't halt as I rambled inside the greens when the raindrops hit heavily on the ground.

I was doused and dripping, and my heart felt light. The rationale I made and conveyed to myself: A feeling of being in control, nonetheless I don't want to stop things here. And let my mind run till the gates of hell.

"Your Excellence, Min Yoongi requests for your appearance," A soldier informed me as I walked to my room.
