203 READS!? WOAH MACKERELS I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE AND GOSH T-T THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH
"Don't say things that people will take the wrong way!" I pushed him away and turned around to face him.
"Oh, come on. You can run into my arms," he held his arms out with a grin.
Stepping forward, I grabbed the cloth of his shirt, pulling his face close to mine as his eyes widened.
"Look, I know you're trying to help and all, but it would really be nice if you didn't do and say things that make me want to stick an arrow through your throat," my eye twitched as he smiled at me and threw his arms around me to hold me.
"Whatever you say, my que-"
"We are going inside, shut up and come on," I pulled him along as we walked through the palace, Hak grinning all the same next to me.
"You're so pretty, my queen," he swung our hands back and forth as we walked through the halls.
"Shut up."
"So cruel to your soulmate~ is this how you show someone you love them?"
"Yo-"
"Hak! There you are!" I heard an elderly voice call out from behind us.
"Oh no," Hak quickly looked at me as I turned around to face the man that called out to him.
My eyes widened as I recognized who the older man was.
Immediately bowing down, I spoke.
"You must be Mundok, the former great General and leader of the Wind Tribe..." I trailed off as I saw him pass out in front of me.
"I told you he's a fan of yours. And you shouldn't bow do-"
"It's for me to decide who to show my respects to, and who not to," I reminded him as I crouched down next to Mundok.
Wait, a fan of mine!?
"This is your gramps?!" I whipped my head towards Hak who was pulling on Mundok's leg as he dropped it.
"Yeah, did I forget to mention it?" He scratched his head.
"So you are the current General and Son in title, and you didn't even bother to tell me," I sighed.
"I thought you'd know," he shrugged.
"Yeah, you spoke as Hak, and it sounded familiar but I wasn't aware you are the current Son Hak," I smacked his head as I blew out a breath of frustration.
"So you knew me as the Thunder Beast, but not as the Chief of the Wind Tribe?" He questioned as he leaned onto my back. "That's quite sad~"
"Because I knew of a Hak who is known as Thunder Beast throughout Kouka, and I also knew that there was a Hak with Son in title who is the current General and Chief of the Wind Tribe. But what I didn't know was that they were the same Hak, and that Hak is you," I flicked his forehead as he stood next to me. "Now come on, we should bring your gramps inside," I said as I slid my arms under his back and lifted him gently so I wouldn't hurt him.
Hak stood by me, amazed at the fact that I could carry another grown man.
"What?" I irked as Hak followed me in.
"You're just so perfect for me, my que-"
Kicking his stomach, I kept walking, irritated completely.
"Don't leave me, my soulmate~" he cried out as he rushed in with me.
I deserve an award for not strangling this guy.
Sighing, I walked inside an empty room and laid Mundok down as Hak came to stand beside me.
"So what do you usually do to wake him up?" I turned to Hak as he scratched his head.
"Uhm, nothing? I just let him lay there," he shrugged as I mentally face palmed.
"Of course, just look who I was asking," I muttered as he leaned in close to my ear.
"But if it were you, I'd carry you in my arms all the way back and la-"
"Thanks, but I rarely pass out, so good luck with that happening," I pushed him away as I went to get some water to spray over Mundok's face.
Drenching my hand with water, I splashed it over Mundok's face as he started to stir and regain his consciousness.
"Hey, queen," Hak leaned in towards me again as I groaned.
"What?"
"I think I may need you to bathe me with that water because you're so hot and I need to cool do-"
I cut him off by dumping the bowl of water on him as he dripped with water.
"You're welcome, no need to thank me," I flipped my hair dramatically as I smirked at him.
"Oh? That's the kind of queen you are?" He raised an eyebrow before jumping on top of me, the water seeping to my dress as he laid over me.
"Ha-"
"IS THIS THE KIND OF RESPECT YOU SHOW TO A LEGENDARY QUEEN?! HAVE I RAISED YOU NO GOOD!?" Mundok got up to smack a stick all over Hak as I roared with laughter beside him.
Mundok bowed before me, forcing Hak's head down as well.
"PLEASE DO FORGIVE HIM MY QUEEN, I DO-"
"No need to ask for forgiveness," I smiled at him as I lifted his head back up.
"Oh, so you let gramps call you his queen, but not me? What, do you have a thing for old guys?" Hak raised an eyebrow before getting smacked my Mundok multiple times as he bowed repeatedly again.
"Please do for-"
"Really! It's alright, no harm done," I spoke through gritted teeth, trying not to kick the smirk off of Hak's face.
"You sh-"
"QUEEN Y/N!" Hak yelled out, cutting Mundok off as he reached out towards me.
Tilting my head to the side in confusion, I heard it.
An arrow cutting through the air as it was aimed straight for my head.
Snapping my wrist up and back, I let the arrow fly straight into my hand as I held it in my palm. I stared at it, noticing the engravings that marked it as Soo-Won's. In an instant, I split the arrow entirely, feeling rage flow through my veins.
"H-hey," Mundok reached forward for the splintered arrow as I held it out, my eyes shaking with anger. "That looks like Soo-Won's arrow. He must've aimed off or someone else must have shot it," the elder chuckled nervously as I looked down, well aware Soo-Won shot it, and with perfect aim.
"Oh, love! My dearest apologies! My hand just slipped over the bow and I missed the tree completely, I was so frightened!" Soo-Won pouted as he came forward. "But knowing that you are so aware and your instincts are just the greatest, I can marry you with ease," he gave me a dirty smirk before turning his face to Mundok and Hak.
"Love? Marry?" Mundok looked between us as I stepped back, clutching the arrow as I forced a vicious smile.
"I'm sure that Soo-Won would absolutely be flattered to tell you all about it," I bowed my head before turning away, narrowing my eyes at the arrow in my hands.
He had put a message within this arrow.
And I had to figure it out before tonig-
Looking up, I realized night had nearly fell, my time for action ticking closer.
The arrow served as a warning.
"I'm sorry, princess."
