Goryeo's Princess || Exo Chanyeol

Chapter 26

Eun Rim's POV

"Is he okay?" I heard myself ask the King in a shaky voice.
He nodded slowly, looking at his feet.

"But how did he get beaten up so badly? Wasn't he in the prison?" Minho asked.

"Someone broke in. And attacked Chanyeol. He did fight back and that's the reason he's okay now. "the king said.
I mentally decided to go and see Chanyeol as soon as I could.

"Chanyeol's not at fault right?" Taehyung asked the question that bothered everyone of us.

"No,he isn't. Queen Yoona got a letter this morning. I'll read it to you"the king said as he read out the letter.

Dearest Queen Yoona

Hope you have been doing well.
It's come to my notice that you've  arrested knight Chanyeol thinking that he was my spy inside the palace .
But it's really sad, because my spy is still well and active inside the palace. It's my Earnest request to you to stop trying to find him.

I also hope you've been trying to convince your husband to step down as soon as possible because I cannot wait longer than this.

"Oh my God"I fake gasped and playing along,Baekhyun wrapped a friendly arm around me.

The king sighed and looked at us

"I was wrong . I should have trusted him...I was so wrong about him"he said.

"But your majesty,  it might have been a set up too. He could be staging it all just to get out of the prison. " Minseok protested.

I glared at him and so did Baekhyun.

"The letter clearly states that he was falsely accused, hyung!" Sehun said, visibily annoyed by Minseok.

Minseok sighed in defeat.

"You can go about your business now. I just thought I'd clear everything up"the king apologized.

As soon as we were dismissed,I ran out of the main palace and went to Chanyeol's house.

His father lived just outside the main entrance of the palace.

"He's been waiting for you to come"his aunt said when she saw me running inside their house.
I chuckled and bowed my head to greet her.

I went straight upstairs and into his room.
He sat at the edge of his bed, fiddling with his fingers. There were a few bruises on his face but it was nothing serious. He looked well enough.

"Yeol" I whispered as i saw him, relief washing over me.
Only God knew how much I hated myself for not trusting him and how much I loved him.

He stood up and wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head softly.
His smell filled my nostrils,a smile spreading across my face.
I wouldn't trade this feeling for the world.

"I'm so sorry Yeol" I said.
"It's not your fault, Princess" he replied.

We broke the hug and looked at each other, intently. His eyes looked tired and sleepy,as if he hadn't slept properly and who knew,maybe he actually didn't. But his eyes had the same shine in them that I had first noticed that day on the terrace as we watched the fireworks at night.
He was still my Chanyeol.

"Did Baekhyun hit you too hard?" I laughed a little.
He rolled his eyes away.

"He was too much into character. But nevertheless,I can't thank you two enough for saving me " he said.

-Flashback to Eun Rim and Baekhyun's conversation-

"I have a plan in my mind "he said.
"What?" I asked.

He placed a piece of paper in front of me and then the letter that we had written.

"I want you to write this letter in this handwriting" he said referring first to his letter and then to the other sheet of paper,which was Minseok's handwritten document.

And then it dawned on me that we were setting up a fake culprit.

" In this way we can prove to the king that Chanyeol isn't the main culprit and someone else is falsely accusing him"he said
I wouldn't lie,I was shocked at his level of intelligence.

I always saw Baekhyun as a man who only knew how to solve disputes  physically but today I realized that that's not it. He was way more mentally abled too.

"But do you think it'd be enough to get him out of the prison?" I questioned.

He chuckled.
" No. I'm going to fake attack him so the king realizes someone wants to hurt him and he'll be released in the blink of an eye"

-end of flashback-

I kissed his cheek.

"Why don't you call me Eun Rim?" I randomly asked , wrapping my arms around his neck as he pulled me by my waist.
Random thought but I always wondered why he never called me by my name.
He chuckled.

"Do you want me to?" He whispered and his voice sounded good,like I could listen to it everyday for the rest of my life. Rough and strong, commanding.

"Yes" I whispered back.

He smiled and said,"then, I love you,Eun Rim"
" I love you too, Chanyeol"

And we kissed .

It felt like I was in a fairy tale; roses fell from the sky,music was in the air and everything else seemed irrelevant.We broke the kiss but joined our foreheads together.

"Come over to my room to sleep at night" I offered.

He smirked.
"Do you finally have the answer to my question?" He asked.

"Yes" I replied.

I wanted to sleep with him.
