My heart fell into my stomach and my eyes widened in fear, a sudden flash of angst waved through my body and I finally could breathe again and exhale the stucked oxygen out of my
lungs.

With fastened heartbeats and sweat covered forehead I dared to turn around and see if my mind was really playing games on me or not.

My eyes widened at the tall frame and the heavy aura he was carrying which increased the dizziness inside my skull.
"W-who are you?" I chocked out while still gasping for breath as my chest rose and fell heavily, trying to see his covered face behind his dark and red hood over his head.
Golden chains were sparkling around his neck, my eyes traveled down his body and I gasped when I saw a glimpse of his unhealthy pale skin that doesn't looked human.
How could he know me so well?!
"That's in your hands to decide little girl." I held my breath while taking a step back, my legs were shaking, my body was trembling while a cold shiver ran down my tensed spine as his deep with authority filled voice echoed through the hall.
"A threatening fate is slowly surrounding you which can't even get averted by your great
King. The time is ticking loud on your side little girl, if you don't act quickly, his life will be in danger." My widened teary eyes stared at his tall frame while my heart sunk deeper in an unbearable pain.

"W-what are you t-talking about ?" My voice wasn't louder than a whisper, a plead, craving for the answer I was wishing for.
"There will be an attempted coup at the night of his birthday masquerade in this very hall.
Willing to sacrifice his life for you in order to protect you, blood will be shed, this sacrifice will take his life, his heart which will stop beating right here, in this very hall!" He yelled the last part, while I was shaking as the heavy tears left my eyes. My heart was hammering in fear inside my chest at the thought of something happening to Taehyung because of me.
I could almost hear my heart shattering into million of pieces. This can't be true!
"Y-you're lying! Why should I trust you ?!" I breathed out while wiping my tears away and trying to calm down, wishing that all of this was a delusion. It couldn't be real, could it?
"Right before midnight the small door will appear in the hall of painting. Your destiny lays in your hands but don't forget the consequences coming with a forbidden love, while forbidden fruit is said to taste sweeter, nobody will mention that it spoils faster.." I started shaking my head, his words ringing inside my ear and numbing my senses.
"This can't be true. no.. no. Nothing can happen to him. Don't take him away from me!" I yelled at him but it was more of a hopeless plead, begging for a different answer while the shattered pieces of my heart were digging into my flesh and making me whimper in pain.
"Don't you wanna know why you ended up here in the first place?" He asked deeply, I glanced up at him, my vision still blurry while the pain was increasing and flashing through my soul.
I didn't answer him, the answer I've been searching since the first day I landed here could now get answered.
But do I really want to know the reason after everything he has told me, scared me and warned me.?
I silently stared at him as the tears of fear escaped my swollen eyes..
"You already know about the relationship between the former King and Queen. Never asked yourself why there wasn't any love between them? Why so much hatred ? The answer is simple, the Queen of this majestical castle with the great King on her side, fell for the artist of this castle, the soul of the hall of paintings, your grandfather. When the King found out about the affair between them peace had no longer a place in this castle. The King reached out to me and demanded a spell, a spell that would forever abandon your grandfather from this castle.
A spell that would not only abandon him from our castle, but from his family and life, Years ago he travelled into time, 200 years into the future. I sealed the door with a spell, only a hand of purity could break the spell and travel back in time, which wasn't your grandfather but you who found the door."

I fell on my knees while my hands digged into the ground and tears streamed down my cheeks, I started sobbing while lowering my head.
How can all of this be real?
"This sinful chapter got reopened again and this time with a love stronger than my strength and the force of the universe, only destiny could intervine and it did. You two aren't meant to be together, not you and not even your grandchildren will find true love within this castle which its walls tells tales about the heartbreaking love stories of your bloodline."

"Stop it, STOP IT ALREADY!!" I shut my ears while violently shaking my head, not wanting to hear his painful words that felt like a stab into a newly healed wound.
"This isn't your world and you know that Y/n.
It's a fairytale you have created for yourself, a desire which can never come true in this world!
But remember my words little girl, only a painting of this time will lead you to your true love"
"I SAID IT'S ENOUGH!!!" I yelled, heart hammering inside my chest as the heavy tears were dropping on the cold ground. I slowly lifted my head and my heart skipped a beat when he was no longer standing in front of me.
My mind was a mess and my heart was aching in a way I have never experienced before, as if someone crashed the ground I was standing and holding onto, I felt lost and scared at the same time.
I gasped for breath, whimpering in pain with only one thing in mind, that one person my aching heart is craving for.
Taehyung!
With a blurry vision and shaking knees I stood up and started walking around the castle, searching for the tall frame, dark alluring eyes and the deep voice which will ring in my ears until my very last breath on this earth.
I froze when I ran into the throne hall, the tears wouldn't stop floating but my feet stopped moving, glued on the spot while my swollen eyes widened.
I was sweating and my head was throbbing in pain, a pain that started in my temples increased and spread like wildfire through my skull.
I lost all sense of everything when I looked at him. I felt numb.
His back was facing me while the royalties were gathered all around the throne hall.
And next to him a beautiful lady, pale skin with rosish cheeks, pitch black hair braided majestically into a half bun, and her royal gown embroidered with traditional ornaments, and her dark eyes which were laying on none other than the King Kim Taehyung .
All of this spoke for only one person,
Princess Aera of Jeonsan .
