STRONG AFFECTION : Chapter 31 – 40

CHAPTER 40

By Naomi Cindy B

Janis struggled to stand and walked to Kimora who still has tears in her eyes

He tried to touch her shoulders but she moved back

“Don’t touch me…” She said slowly.

“I’m sorry… I was just… Out of my senses” he said

” Why must you kiss me why!, I already told you I’ll only be in love with Jimin then why this!, I won’t be able to bear it if he snubs me again, I hate it” she replied, wiping her tears

” I’ve done wrong, you can decide to kill me right now I won’t run, but can you please stop crying?, I’ll talk to him” Janis said

” He’s pissed off, he won’t even want to see you, if only you know what you’ve caused” she replied and walked away

Janis wiped his bIoody lips and sighed. “I’m sorry” he said

Cal smiled from his spot, enjoying the whole scenario

“Love triangle huh?, How funny” he said

“So if I want to hurt him, I’ll have to hurt her first, bingo! ” He said, walking away.

Jimin’s room**

He entered, seething with rage, not for Kimora but for Janis…. The fact that he kssed her lips is so annoying and the scene won’t leave his head no matter how he tries

He rested his palms on his table while standing. “Why! ‘ he shouted and stood straight

His eyes caught his portrait on the wall, the one Kimora drew for him

He tried to stare at the picture and forget about the kss but it just won’t work

He took off his robe and left his white inner garment, he stood by the window, watching everything going on in the palace

The palace is in a festive mood all because of his wedding with Riya that’s coming up soon

He hates everything right now, he hates what’s happening, he detests it

He closed his eyes and walked away from the window immediately

“Maybe I don’t deserve her, maybe I really don’t deserve Kimora, should I let her go?, I can’t… I don’t want to…. But I don’t want her to suffer…. I can’t let anyone touch a strand of her hair” he thought

” Jimin” Cory said by the door”

“Come in” he replied and Cory came in

” What’s happening?, You look distressed?, Is it couples fight again? ” He teased

” Close to that, I caught Janis kssing Kimora” Jimin replied

” What on Earth is that! ” Cory said loudly

” Janis is stubborn, he goes for what he likes without hindrance and so is me, he likes Kimora”.

” But the fact that you’re the one she likes should make him back off” Cory replied

” You’re aware that my two sisters are into you right?” Jimin asked

” Your highness” Cory said

“Don’t mind them, it’s just for a while, they’ll get over it… And I think I should let go of Kimora” Jimin said

” No, that’s not the right solution and you know that, she loves you just as much as you love her” Cory quickly said

” But staying together is not the right solution too!, Father mustn’t hear of it and if we continue there’s no way he won’t hear of it, I don’t want to endanger her life and…

“She’s your guardian” Cory said

“I know”

“You know you’ll get sick if you miss her too much” Cory said

” I know that too” Jimin replied

” Then what the heck are you talking about!, I don’t want to lose you so think twice!, You can’t leave her even if staying together ain’t the solution, you can’t! ‘ Cory shouted

“Cory…. Honestly I’m scared,.. I don’t know what the future holds and that always scared the shits out of me anytime I think about it” he replied

Cory hugged him immediately.”just calm down and think” he said

Jimin closed his eyes as his tears rushed out.

Queen Rachel’s room**

“I sense danger, though I don’t know where it’s coming from but I can sense it , I think you should suspend killing Sera” lioness said, her back on Rachel

“why?”

” I just said I sense danger, things has been uncomfortably calm and Mazu hasn’t been attacking” lioness replied

” Suspend it till I tell you what to do, and suspend sending letters to Morris too, for now” lioness said

” If I suspend sending letters to Morris, how will I communicate with Myung Woo, and why the sudden suspension” Rachel said

Lioness vanished without talking

“What’s she talking about?, Trying to confuse me?, I think I should stop listening to you” Rachel thought, picking the bottle of poison again

” No matter what, Sera will die on her son’s wedding” she smiled

Royalty left her room for the first time in days, still feeling slightly sick but she just needs fresh air, her wrist is still bandaged though

She walked down the hallway with two maids behind her

Then she saw Suzy coming in the other end and stopped for a while before deciding to continue

They stopped and looked at each other

“How’s your tummy doing?, Does it still hurt?” Royalty asked

” A little bit” Suzy replied to Royalty’s surprise

Suzy walked away but stopped after a while

“I heard you hurt your wrist” she said

“It’s ok now, I only feel little pain” Royalty replied

” Ok” Suzy said and left

” I can smell changes” Royalty smiled

King’s chamber**

” The armies of Gongwon suddenly stopped the strengthening” general Wang reported

” Does that mean they’re retreating even when the battle hasn’t started?” A minister said

” No , they’re trying to fool us, thinking if we notice they’ve stopped, we’ll stop too” King Jung replied

” That’s right your majesty, I continued the strengthening of our armies and they’re ready for any attack” general Wang said

” There’s a spy in Miryang, snitching on us for the Gongwon army, and there’ll surely be a connection between the spy and Myung Woo the king of Gongwon” King Jung said

” I’ve been thinking about that too your highness, I think we should set up an investigation council concerning that” a minister said

” No need,…the spy…is in this palace” King Jung said

“A spy in the palace?”

” She’ll soon be caught red handed” King Jung replied

” And about the non-human slaughtering people like animals, I don’t think we can do anything till shaman wakes up” minister Joo said

” I know, but it seems she’s not waking up anytime soon, it must be a magical sleep induced by the non-human”

” But your majesty…the non-human….will surely be a de.mon” general Wang said

“The guards who saw her during the as.sassins murder the other time said she looks like a white fairy” minister Joo replied

” Killing the innocent has made her a demon so to me… she’s a demon and Immediately she gets caught, she’ll be killed or sealed” King Jung replied

Morris Jung’s house**

” What happened to your face!, Janis!” Morris almost screamed when Janis came in with swollen disfigured face

He stood and went to him. “What’s wrong?, Who did this?”

“Father” he said slowly, fighting back his tears

“What?”

“It hurts… right here” he said, pointing at his chest

” Why?, Did you hit it somewhere?” Morris asked

“I’m not talking about my chest, the inner part” he replied

“Heart?” Morris said and Janis nodded

” Why?, You got heartbroken?, By who?, You never told me you had a lover” Morris said

” You just won’t get it ” Janis replied and went in

“Brayden has been sulking like a kid for long and here comes Janis, telling me his heart hurts, are they both ok?” Morris wondered

Brayden came out of his room and without saying a thing, he left the house

“Brayden you still won’t talk to me!’ he shouted after him

” They’re both trying to give me headache, what have I done to deserve it” he said worriedly

He went into his room and brought out the last letter Rachle sent..

** I’m reporting everything that’s happening in Miryang on a daily basis to the King of Gongwon, war will come in soon and Jung Mal will be wiped out, then our son can take over **

He smiled after reading it but his smile quickly disappeared

When his father was still alive, everyone knows he loves Jung Mal more than him, maybe because Jung Mal is smarter but to him, he sees nothing special about him

Despite the fact that he’s older than Jung Mal, Mal gets more respect and gets worshipped like a god, he hates him but he never showed it
