Chapter 9 ”Jeona!” Someone hurled, walking towards the king, he went on his knees and bowed. ”We need you at the throne room right away, there is a report that needs your immediate attention.” He said. "That can wait, I'll be there soon.” The king said and ce again. ”Jeona, there's an attack on our border by the Japanese, most of our soldiers were killed as we speak.” That information got the king's attention but he really wants to see his consort's face, it's like her smile energies him to start the day, in addition! His queen has been with her and she was sick, so he decided to head in for a brief moment, just to see how his women were doing. “Jeona,” Taeyeon greeted, she had been standing waiting for his arrival, while the queen still remained on her bed, covered. “Taeyeon, did you sleep well last night?” He asked worriedly. ”I did your majesty, why do you ask?” She smiled nervously. ”You look nervous, somehow frightened, and you're sweating too much when it's winter, or maybe you're pregnant?” he teased. ”I'm good your majesty, I had a little exercise just a while ago.” She said clenching her fingers in a fist, so he wouldn't notice them shaking. ”Oh! How is the queen?” he asked walking towards the bed and his consort quickly followed his track. ”She's recovering.” She answered expeditiously, glancing at the queen's back that was facing them. ”Well then, that is good to hear, I'll be in the throne room for long, please take care of her, Jungmin would be returning today, I'm sure she'll be delighted when she learn that, she misses her son so much, I presume.” ”I will your majesty and of course she would be pleased to know her son is returning.” Taeyeon said and smiled sweetly at him, he was so lost in her eyes that he almost forgot about the general who was standing by the door, waiting for him. ”Jeona,” he called in desperation and the king was brought back from his trans immediately, joining the man; they headed to the throne room together. ”Phew,” Taeyeon let out a long relieved breath. ”That was close, I mean if he wasn't stopped by that official, he could have caught us red-handed.” She said sitting by the side of her bed. ”Although, it could have been disastrous, but it would be best if he finally find out, we would be punished severely but he wouldn't want neither of us anymore which means one day there would be a chance for us to be together without him being a hindrance.” ”We are talking about death punishment and you're dreaming of him not wanting us anymore? You frighten me Sooyeon.” ”Do I?” Sooyeon asked titling her head to the side. ”Well to me death punishment is far more better than seeing you with him making love.” "Sooyeon?” Taeyeon called, her playful smile dropping in an instance. ”Yes dearest, I rather die than see what I saw ever again.” ”Let's stop talking about that now, we weren't caught, so it's a good thing.” ”Why? Are you worried that I would intentionally lure him to catch us?” ”I-i didn't think of that, Taeyeon said through a nervous smile, she tucked some of her hair behind her ear. "I think this conversation is getting creepy so let's drop it and instead think of what to do with all the time we have now that the king would be busy all day, what do you say?” Taeyeon tried changing the subject, now her playful smile returning. ”I would be glad to be with you all my life Taeyeon, and just so you know, if I can't have you all to myself, so will the king.” "What do you mean by that?” The consort asked. ”Do you really want to hear what I have in store for your male lover?” The queen has already made her decision to own Taeyeon all to herself, she wasn't joking around when she said she cannot share her lover with anyone else. ”Sooyeon, he's also your husband and the king.” Taeyeon pointed. ”Yes that is true, but even if he is my husband and the king, I will not let him have you.” Sooyeon leaned closer to whisper in Taeyeon's ear. "Because you're mine, you're the one I love, the only one, my soulmate, my other half so why would I let him stand in my way?” She paused again, taking Taeyeon's hands in hers to hold so dearly. ”Listen, I have never felt anything like this in my whole life, when you're with me, the world just goes away, the way you hold me and touch me, makes me the happiest woman on earth, the happiness I've never experienced until I met you, true happiness, and the way you show me that you adore me, makes me the luckiest, so if you don't understand, I'm going to make it clear for you to, you're tied to me from the very beginning, and you belong to me only, Therefore, if you keep on attending to his ual needs, you give me no choice than to get him out of your life.” ”A-are y-you p-planning o-on k-killing h-him?” Taeyeon shivered when she asked that. ”Yes, and I'll do to anyone who dared to get in my way, I told you, all I had to do was think of you, then everything comes crashing down, I know I may seem crazy to you and I will not deny it and maybe it's because I never fell in love with anyone before you.” The queen said calmly. And Taeyeon kept shut, petrified with her lover who seemed totally different to her. 'Is she now obsessed with me?' She thought and gulped when Sooyeon leaned in and hugged her like she was the most precious thing, her forehead touched on Taeyeon's and their eyes locked. She was looking at the petite lips, and couldn't help but to claim them in a passionate kiss. ”You will keep away from him and anyone else, right?” She leaned backward a bit to gaze at her lover, but still looming over Taeyeon's. ”Y-yes, definitely.” Taeyeon breathed. ”Say 'I swear.” The queen commanded in a
