CHAPTER 9
Royalty’s room**
“That’s all for today” Brayden said, rounding off her lectures, he’s her teacher for today
“It was nice lecturing with you as my teacher, thanks for helping today” she smiled
” It’s my pleasure” he replied
“The story about the flower goddess that you talked about, I want the full story will you tell me the next time you come to lecture me?” Royalty asked
” It’s a big story, we might spend two days and two nights” Brayden replied
” I don’t mind, by the way where’s Janis?” She asked
“He slept here last night but he’s back home this morning, he should be here any moment from now, he loves spending time with Kimora” Brayden replied
” Your highness, it’s me headmaid Ambrosia” Ambrosia said by the door
” Lady Ambrosia?” Royalty replied as Ambrosia came in with a fearful look on her face
“What’s happening?” She asked
“Kimora…has been arrested and locked in the stone prison” she said
” Kimora?” Brayden said
” What did you just say” Royalty said shockingly

King’s chamber**
“It’s one of the greatest offence one could ever commit on Miryang, how dare she touch the head of a prince, a maid?” King Jung Mal said
” What if she’s a bad luck, it’ll be bad, she needs to be executed to avert it” minister park said
” That’s true, it has been in the law of Miryang from the start that execution is the price, how dare she touch his head, it’s not done” minister Joo said
” Father she needs to be punished” Suzy said
Royalty rushed in with Brayden and they both went on their knees
“Your majesty please temper justice with mercy, spare the poor girl I beg you” she said
” Jimin has been sleeping since she did that an hour ago, who knows what she did to him, it’s surely a sign of bad luck
“Your majesty please spare her this once” Brayden said
“Three hours from now, the maid will be executed” King Jung Mal said
Suzy smiled victoriously
“Father!” Royalty said
“Your majesty” Brayden muttered

Miryang town, 2hrs, 30mins later**
Ginelle sat quietly in the liquor shop, sipping liquor slowly while thinking about what she’ll do with herself
She poured another cup again and drank that in one gulp then tears escaped her eyes but she refused to let it fall, she quickly wiped it
“I’m just one….. shameless girl, what shall I do with my life, just how do I handle what I’ve gotten myself into, I can’t stop” she thought, drinking another cup
” I heard a maid is getting executed in the palace thirty minutes from now” a man said, entering the shop
” She’s a maid, not bad, maybe she did something worth it, King Jung Mal does things with reasons” another man said
” I know right?, But I heard she’s beautiful, the most beautiful in the palace”
” Many enemies huh?” The second one grinned
” The most beautiful?, Most…most beautiful?” Ginelle stuttered
She ran out of the shop immediately

Palace stone prison**
“Did I really make a big mistake by touching his head?, I just did what I heard in my ears, is he ok?, Did he lose consciousness or fell asleep?, What’ll happen to me?, What do I do?” She thought sadly
As a result of how she was dragged there, her knees got bruised and it’s bIeeding then her forehead got wounded too as a result of when she was roughly pushed in
“What will be my fate?” She thought as the gate opened and two guards came in, she was dragged out of the poison and taken out to the judgement ground where everyone is seated already
A rope has been formed to a noose and tied to the pole, she looked up at it and fear gripped her
“Am I… getting hanged?” She asked herself as she was threw down in front of the royals except the king and queens
“Touching the prince on the head is one of the greatest offence in Miryang and for the fact that you’re a low maid, it costs de.ath, start the execution” Suzy ordered
” No!, No please spare my sis!, I’m sure she’s innocent!, Don’t kill the only one I have I beg you!, Don’t!” Ginelle screamed, rushing into the place
” Get a hold of her and start the execution” Suzy said and Ginelle was forcefully held despite her screams, she pushed away some of the guards and wanted to go to Kimora again but she was held by stronger guards and no escape
Kimora was dragged to the pole and she fearfully climbed the high plank
“This isn’t happening!, Kimora!!” Janis screamed, entering the place too
” If you interfere, you’re interrupting the king’s orders and you know what that means” Suzy said and Janis stopped on his tracks
” Suzy how far are you going to go,let the poor girl live” he said
” It’s the order of his majesty so shut up” she replied
Kimora’s neck was tied with the noose and what’s left is for the plank to be removed from her legs, everyone held their breaths as they watched..
Tania’s tears flowed in full, Ambrosia is crying silently
Royalty and Brayden are crying inside while Janis and Ginelle are staring as if it’s a horror movie
“Move the plank” Suzy ordered the guards, Kimora closed her eyes, giving up already
“Am I really dying?, I’ll leave Tania and Ginelle, I won’t see Janis or princess Royalty again, I won’t get to see prince Jimin’s beautiful eyes anymore”
The thoughts changed when a sword swung into the place and in another minute, the hand of the guard who wanted to move the plank fell off, the sword actually cut the hand, he screamed loudly and everyone watched in horror
Another sword came and cut the rope off her neck, Kimora fell on the ground and everyone stared at the one who did that ..
Jimin, he’s just coming into the place with a hardened expression on his handsome face, Cory is beside him
“Oppa?” Suzy said unbelievably, she thought he’d still be unconscious
He walked straight to where Kimora is lying on the ground and bent beside her
“Gweanchana? (Are you ok?)” He asked gently
Kimora looked up and saw those beautiful eyes again..
“Your highness” she whispered
