{Chapter 22}
help me
While the king was busy chatting with those disappointments of girls, I was sitting awkwardly in my seat, I kept on shifting on it because of the uncomfortableness, I felt very left out because all these people here are rich and from the upper class in society, I on the other hand barely fit in...
I was very poor and lived in an old rusty house with 10 other people, on top of that, I am a thief...
I felt myself shrink in my seat because of the embarrassment and shame...
but before my thoughts could get any worse, a soft and warm hand laid itself on mine, I glanced at my right to see Taehyung facing the king, but his eyes sneakily glanced over to me, he intertwined his fingers with mine and squeezed our hands, it somehow relaxed me as I breathed in and out
¨ so Aya, what kind of work do you do? I heard you helped people in the village? ¨
the queen said sweetly as I was a little bit shock she knew all this information, nevertheless, I smiled back at her before thinking of a good lie to cover up my real job...
¨um, I hunt and give food to the people that need it¨ I said while technically not lying, I do hunt, but there aren't many animals in the woods anymore so I leave them alone
the queen smiled at me, somehow looking proud while the king was not having it... at all
¨pfft, everyone in the country has lots and lots of food, my son and I recently went to visit and they all looked well fed and rich¨ he said with a mean tone as my eyes widen and my vision turned red
o bitch you better run
but I heard words can do more harm than my fist so let's try that one first
¨ o really? then why are there dead people on the sidewalk who are nothing but skin and bones?¨I said sarcastically while I felt the warm hand on min freeze
