To the Light territory... (1/1)

Light Act You arrived in the military meeting hall and saw Dongwoon wiping his tears. Your prince was crying. When he saw you, he begged for your help. You liked the fact he needed you but you hated he was showing his emotions in front of his generals. "Princess! Are you okay? Where were you?" asked Gikwang. "General Junhyung brought me somewhere safe when you failed to control the prisoner" you walked to Dongwoon without even sparing them a glance. Dongwoon was trying to get a hold of his emotions breathing in and out, he brought his hand in front of his face and that's when you saw his knuckles were bleeding. "Everybody, out!" you ordered. "But the Prince..." someone contested. "I said out!" you ordered louder, anger palpable in your words. When you heard the door closing, you took Dongwoon's hand in yours and patted his hair. "Tell me, now. It's okay." your voice came out as a sweet whisper. Dongwoon inhaled and explained how his parents and his sister died. He was only a little boy when it happened but the thought of having his sister again by his side has never left him. Of course, you already knew everything about his story but you needed him to tell you so you could take advantage of the situation. However his story still touched you, a bit. Even if he wasn't the one you wanted, you learned to care for him over the years. "Where's the prisoner now?" you asked gently. "We left him with Junhyung hyungnim. He probably took him to the dungeons." he sniffled. "Why?" he asked finally looking at you. "I want to talk to him." "No! It's too dangerous." he protested. He came closer to you and cupped your cheeks. "It's fine. He will be tied up." Dongwoon looked at you trying to make up his mind. "Take Dujun Hyungnim with you." He delicately kissed your lips. You smiled at him understanding his need for reassurance and having someone by his side. You took his hands off of your face slowly, wrapped his arms around your waist, one of his hands naturally found its way up to the nape of your neck and you kissed him again. This kiss was more intense, you wanted him to crave for you and your protection. It didn't take you long to have access to his sweet tongue, making him forget about his nooi. "I miss you." he whispered between kisses before attacking your neck. "You haven't sneaked inside my quarters for a while now." There it was, the craving for your lips and body, the comfort of your embrace. You had him wrapped around your finger. "A lot has happened since then. I should go." You pecked his lips. "I will send a maid for your hands."

You came out of the hall and saw Yoseob and Gikwang guarding the door on each side of it. You ordered Gikwang to get a maid for Dongwoon and you told Yoseob to stay by the prince's side. You stood at the door thinking about your next move. "Princess, are you feeling okay?" someone asked when the two generals were gone and you saw Dujun by your side. "I'm good. Come with me." The walk to the dungeons was quiet. "You plan on uniting the Light and Blue territory to conquer the realm?" you asked calmly out of the blue. Dujun was surprised by your question. You didn't give him time to answer and thanked him as you arrived near the dungeons. "I can manage from here. General Junhyung is still with the prisoner, he will walk me back." You walked down the stairs and found Junhyung wiping his hands with a cloth which probably used to be white. "Is he still conscious?" Junhyung nodded 'yes' focused on his hands and above all, focused on avoiding looking at you in the eyes. "Open the door and untie him. I want to have a word with him." you said. "No! It's too dangerous." he blurted out. You came closer to him, your bodies almost touched. Junhyung put his hands on your hips to stop from getting closer. "Don't. I don't want to do this to Dongwoon." He calmly said. "But you want it." you purred. You saw inner conflict in his eyes, you give him a peck on his cheek. "Do it, for me." He sighed, opened the cell, went inside, untied the prisoner and came back. You grabbed his arm and went on your tiptoes to kiss his lips as a thank you, you felt his tensed body relax under your fingertips. "Wait for me at the top of the stairs." you ordered him and went inside the cell.

"What's a pretty princess like you doing in a place like this filthy dungeon?" the Blue prisoner asked. "It's been a while Lee Jonghyun. I see you still get in troubles." you stood in front of him. He was taller than the last time you saw him but his smirk was still the same. 'His signature' he called it 'to make the girls faint.' He became a strong warrior like he said he would be. Even though he was pretty beaten up, he was still awake while any other prisoners would have fainted and/or told everything Junhyung wanted to know. "You could have said something back there instead of hiding." "Why?" you scoffed crossing your arms over your chest "Still holding a grudge, I see" he smirked. "or maybe you wanted to get closer to the general..." You slapped him across the face, leaving a red mark on his cheek. "You two go well together" he said holding his cheek. "Is she his nooi?" you asked. "Is your little prince still sobbing?" he asked back. "Is yours still hiding under his nooi's hanbok?" "You'd know if you were his wife." he shot back. You tried to slap his face again but he stopped you catching your wrist in the air and made you walk backward until your back was against the wall. "Maybe I should be the one slapping you, now. I've never had fun with a princess before." his smirk intensified which showed a dimple. You felt excitement that you haven't felt in a while. Your body slightly shook as a response. "Aww. Is the little princess scared?" You smirked back at him and gripped his upper undergarments or what was left of it with your free hand bringing him closer to kiss him. It was sloppy and needy. Your hands roamed on his torso but he winced when your fingers touched a wound. He took a couple of steps back releasing your wrist. You approached Jonghyun slowly taking in all the wounds the generals inflicted him. "I can clean up your wounds and get you out of here in no time. You know what I want." you offered. "I hope it's me." he joked. You tenderly kissed him on the cheek trying to coax him. "It won't work on me like it worked on your general." he arched an eyebrow. You bit your lip trying to think about something. "Not here, not like this." "But definitely happening." Jonghyun smirked again. "Fine, then. Yes, she's your beloved prince's nooi. Also tell your other general that he blew up his cover. I was so onto his ass." "Shut up, you're a prisoner here, Lee Jonghyun. Now listen to me. We will get out of here and go where you were beaten up moments ago." Jonghyun growled in discomfort thinking about what the generals did to him before. "You will tell Dongwoon about his nooi and then, I will formally invite her to come here. You will be sent back to the Blue territory as the messenger. The fate of your territory depends on what you decide to do....Ooor I could just kill you now and invade your territory" you grinned almost evilly and walked outside the cell, Jonghyun scoffed smirking and followed you. Blue Act “What’s with the long face? Who is the letter from?” You asked patting on Jungshin’s back.He looked as if he just received the worst news in his life. His face paler than usual and his yees lost in thought. “Lee Jungshin!” You exclaimed making him divert his gaze at you. “What is it? Are your parents alright? Have they arrived safely? Is Jonghyun alright?” You asked in panic.“Nooi.” He began gulping. “This is an official invitation from the Light territory princess. For us to go to an official visit.”“Us?” You inquired puzzled. “As in you and I? Why would the princess want to meet me? A mere slav-” you cut yourself knowing how much it annoyed Jungshin to call yourself slave.“There’s more. A letter from Jonghyun too.” He showed you the letter. “He’s there, as a prisoner, but also, not.”“Jungshin, what are you trying to say? I’m extremely confused.”“Nooi, there’s a prince in the Light territory.”“Alright?” You narrowed your eyes not understanding. “And?”“His name is Dongwoon.” Stated Jungshin with a sight. “Son Dongwoon.”You gasped covering your mouth, your tears flowing wetting all your face. You felt dizzy and surreal that Jungshin himself was announcing that your real little brother was found. Or more like, he found you and you were being invited to finally meet him.“Nooi! Are you alright?” Jungshin hugged you. He felt strange to see you cry like that. Also he felt threatened. “We will go meet him. I’m happy that they actually didn’t attack. The Light territory are not fried as you know.”You cried without arguing, you could palp that Jungshin wanted you to hate this place before even going there.“You are from a noble family after all nooi. You are much noble than us. Will you dispose of me now?”“Jungshin you really act like a 7 year old, not sometimes, but most of the times. Is this really the time to tell me something like this?” You pushed him away. “It’s my brother Jungshin. No matter what, he is my brother!”“Nooi. I’m sorry.” He tried coming closer but you raised your hand asking him not to.“When are we supposed to go?”“There’s two generals awaiting for us, it’s supposed to be something official but nonetheless, like a family type of thing.”“I’ll go get ready, you don’t have to come if you don’t want to.”“How could you say that nooi? As if I’d let you go with those men alone. I’m sure one of them was the intruder from the other day.” Protested Jungshin.Your heart skipped a beat. The intruder, the owner of the most captivating eyes and lips in the kingdom.Jungshin noticed how your watery eyes sparkled at that moment. A brother of his same age and a potential suitor for his beloved nooi.He was heartbroken, he definitely felt how his love for you was greater than your love for him. Felt like you had no other choice but to love him these past years because you had no one else. But now… you didn’t need him.“I don’t have anything decent to wear.” You huffed. In fact the statement wasn’t accurate.Your clothes were always the best. Jungshin’s parents bought you they same quality clothes as they bought him.You walked out of the hall going to your room to change. On your way you noticed that in the guest’s reception Jungshin had let the generals in. You recognised Gikwang and both stood bowing at you.“Hello. I’m general Yang Yoseob at your service.” Greeted a beautiful man, his smile brightening the whole place. “I’ll be guiding you back to palace so you can reunite with your brother.”You nodded and smiled at him, your eyes falling on the other general.“Hello, I’m general Lee Gikwang at your service.” He cleared his throat remembering what happened the day before. “I truly apologise for the unnecessary encounter we had.”Oh his voice felt like being pinched in every inch of your body. All your hairs stood.Yoseob was confused, his eyebrows knitted looking at his pal.“I didn’t know-” Gikwang rubbed the nape of his neck. “I just didn’t think-”“It’s alright. All forgotten, it was funny.” You giggled making Gikwang relax gifting mirroring your smile.You were about to pass out at this stage.“So… this contains some presents prince Dongwoon asked us to deliver.” He continued.“Nooi? Can I come in?” Jungshin knocked the door.He was on edge, watching your smile from ear to ear with these generals, all while he just wanted to have a moment with you alone, his hands at his back holding on the jade hairpin he wanted to give you.You took the the silk sac and headed to your room. Jungshin walking behind you like a lost puppy that wasn’t wanted any longer. He stood behind your door hearing your gasps in amazement. His heart ripping, hurting him way too much.He’ll have to get adjusted to sharing you, in hopes that you wouldn’t completely leave him.When you opened the door you were wearing a beautiful hanbok that fitted you perfectly. The upper part was purple with silver embroideries. And the lower part was aqua green.How do I look? You spin a couple of times watching Jungshin’s mouth fall agape.“Nooi. You look too pretty. What if the generals flirt with you? I’ll kill them.”“Silly Jungshin-ah.”He was about to speak wanting to place the hairpin on your hair to compliment the look, but you walked past him noticing he still stood at the corridor.“Come on Jungshin!” You urged him with your hand.-“So tell me again Lee Gikwang!” Roared Yoseob. “You told prince Dongwoon’s nooi if she was a Gisaeng and if she was offering you services?” Yoseob placed his hands over his hips walking in circles looking at the sky shaking his head. “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?”“Soeb-ah! I didn’t know she was.”“Why do you have to speak like that to any person anyways?”Gikwang didn’t reply and instead watched you get out of the hanok where they stood awaiting for you. Yoseob turned to face where Gikwang was looking bowing, soon Gikwang followed with a polite 90º bow.“Ready?”“Yes I am ready. Aren’t we Jungshin?”Jungshin took a few steps holding on your shoulders for you to face him carefully placing that jade hairpin on your head. “Yes, now we are ready.”Gikwang and Yoseob wondered if there was something going on between Jungshin and you. In the end it wasn’t their business, but as far as they heard you were raised as a maid. As a nooi to him.“I’ll go get Minhyuk and Yonghwa hyungnim.” Announced Jungshin waving.“Ah- well, no.” Yoseob stated firmly. “As you saw in the letter, we only have orders to escort you and prince Dongwoon’s nooi back to palace.”“Well I don’t trust you. How do I know you’re not just going to kidnap nooi and kill me in the way.”“Jungshin!” You reproached swatting his arm.“Kidnap?” Yoseob scoffed looking away for a moment to calm himself down. “And by kidnap you mean taking her back to where she belongs next to her younger brother the prince? Name things by it’s real name. She was kidnapped by your people, and we are trying in a friendly way to get her back.”Jungshin was terrified, after all he knew that he’d meet the princess. The one and only he’s tried to avoid all these past years.“If you get a pair of horses please and let’s get going. The letter the princess sent it’s official. We cannot try and get funny on our way to palace. Even if we wanted to.” Added Gikwang.“I only have one decent horse. My parents took all the horses we had.”“Then she can come with us and you can stay.” Suggested Yoseob.“Over my dead body!” Snapped Jungshin.Yoseob exhaled again trying to be as professional as he could.“Fine! Then she can share horse with Gikwang.” Suggested Yoseob.“Why me?”“Why him.”Protested both Gikwang and Jungshin at the same time.You were shocked. Jungshin loving you way too much to a point of harming you. And Gikwang seemed disgusted by the image of sharing horse.“Because no matter how strong your horse is it wouldn’t be able to handle two people your sizes uphill.” Yoseob directed his words to Jungshin turning to Gikwang after. “And could you perhaps be more delicate when you speak?” He whisper-shouted between gritted teeth.You covered your face out of embarrassment. General Lee Gikwang didn’t like you. Of course men that perfect had to have a flaw. And this flawless man was an asshole. Too full of himself. As if you were planning to throw yourself… As if.“Of course, yes please share the horse with me.” Gikwang offered his hand smiling. It looked fake and forced, but nonetheless breathtaking. It was annoying you how much this man affected you.“No I don’t want to. If you don’t mind could I share with you?” You asked Yoseob leaving Gikwang’s hand extended.Gikwang pulled his hand rubbing the nape of his neck.“Why are you treating nooi like this!? You really ar-”“Jungshin! It’s alright. Let’s not do this.”Yoseob noticed you were getting annoyed. “Please accept my apologies. I suggested Gikwang because his horse is actually the strongest and it only obeys him.”“I’m not getting on general Gikwang’s horse.” You said crossing your arms around your chest.Jungshin was satisfied. If he were to chose for you who to get in a horse with, he would chose Yoseob. Also the way Gikwang bit his lower lip in dissatisfaction made him extremely happy.Jungshin did not like Gikwang one bit.“Yoseob got on his horse offering you his hand. Before even pulling you in front of him Jungshin was lifting you effortlessly to place you behind Yoseob.“If you don’t mind, can you please place her in front?” Requested Yoseob calmly.“No. She’ll be just as good behind you.” Replied Jungshin.“I don’t know if I made myself clear enough earlier, but as I mentioned, we will be going uphill. So please place her in front.” Yoseob pulled you lightly towards him but Jungshin pulled back.“I’ll be behind. There’s no need.”“Oh my god! Lee Jungshin! Do what the general says!”“Nooi~” Whined Jungshin as if he were at home making Gikwang snort.“Now!” You demanded firmly.Jungshin shot a death glare to Gikwang before finally placing you in front of Yoseob.“Thank you.” He said before feeling his chest at your back. “Let’s get going, lead the way Gikwang.”For some reason you also gave a venomous look to Gikwang who didn’t seem to care.He was irking you to an extent.Galloping behind Gikwang and Jungshin right behind you you felt how caring Yoseob was. Asking you if you were alright all the time while his beautiful fingers brushing over yours.It wasn’t impossible to have a handsome man treat you right. And it wasn’t impossible either to make you extra happy with that fact.Yang Yoseob was amazing...
