Chapter 85 - Come up [1] (1/2)

”That's why, I have told you to not get attached to her.”

Oh Sookyung was standing on the balcony while his eyes observed the starless sky. A frown sat on his face, and regardless of how hard he tried, he was not capable of dimming down the anxiety that rose within him.

Something about this caused an ominous to be left within him, and he wanted to go and rescue her. However, the only problem to this was that he was not aware of where she was held captive.

Hearing the voice, Sookyung turned his head to look back and saw Min Hyungwon entering into the balcony. A serious expression clouded his face.

”You have been restless throughout the entire day, and this was bound to happen sooner or later. She will die because of you, and that's unavoidable, Sookyung,” Hyungwon said, ”You have been distracted due to this for two days, and by now, you have to move on from it. This is sad, but it was bound to happen.”

”You are talking quite pessimistically, Hyungwon, as if you believe she will not be making out it alive. But I don't think so. Although I am worried, I think she will come out alive, and she won't die that soon,” Sookyung spoke out, ”I will make sure of that.”

Creases appeared between both of his eyebrows as Hyungwon questioned, ”What do you mean? Don't tell me that you are thinking to do something foolish?”

”I have just come into a realization that the position of a king doesn't mean much to me when compared to Shin Daerin. I don't know whether or not the reason is that I treasure Daerin greatly or that the throne holds little value to me.

But if it is necessary, I might even hide her away in order to protect her. This is how I feel about the entire matter,” Sookyung confessed as a deep look settled in his eyes.

Although Moon Jiwoo's personality was not likeable, he did not understand from when had he started to feel so deeply about her or the reason behind it.

His words caused Min Hyungwon's eyes to widen, and holding Oh Sookyung's shoulder, Hyungwon pulled it to make Sookyung face him.

Staring at Sookyung sternly, Hyungwon spoke out, ”At first, although Daerin was disrespectful, I thought it was a good idea to have her as your protector; you will not grow attached to her. But it seems that I was wrong! I have always warned you about it.

No matter what type of feelings you grow towards her, you can't prevent her from dying, Your Majesty. Please drive away these useless thoughts for they would be a hassle for you later on. Maybe she will be surviving this, but there is no saying that she would not die in the future.”

Sookyung said, ”Although there are huge chances of her sacrificing her life for me, there is a small chance that she would not be dying. About a thousand year ago, a protector of the king survived to an old age, and I think that will be possible this time as well. I will make sure of that!”

Watching Oh Sookyung's determined gaze, Hyungwon let out a sigh and stated, ”These emotions you are carrying are unnecessary. The protector is not supposed to be your weakness; Shin Daerin is your shield. Remember that. Only after she is broken will you get harmed. That's why, think clearly and drive away all that emotions, or maybe I need to take care of the entire thing.”

Hearing those words caused rage to rise within Oh Sookyung, and it managed to surprise himself on how protective he was over Moon Jiwoo

Extending his hand towards Hyungwon, Sookyung grabbed on to his collar.

Glaring at him, Sookyung questioned, ”What do you mean by take care?”

”I will ȧssume you know what that clearly means, Your Majesty. Other than your fated one, you should not be carrying these unnecessary emotions towards anyone, and since I can't do anything to remove those feelings within you, I might as well make the people disappear.”

Those words managed to aggravate Oh Sookyung, and Sookyung pushed the man backward after releasing his grip on his collar. As Min Hyungwon stumbled a few steps backward, Sookyung glowered upon the male before him.

”If you do anything like that, I will be giving up my position as the King. I will make sure to ruin all of your plans, so don't meddle,” Sookyung threatened.
