Chapter 97: Chapter 97

CHAPTER FORTY

Taehyung, Jimin and Hoseok talked about the princess' case wherein they were planning on making her come back to the palace despite having the Royal Law where the Princess is to stay outside the palace when the Queen is chosen.

Surely, Jimin was baffled at first, having no idea what was happening. He wanted to interrupt the good conversation of the two by telling them what happened to the Princess on that day of the attack, but somehow, he just didn't say anything and observed.

There was definitely something wrong.

"Where have you been?!" A woman's scream could be heard from the hallways making the three looked at each other in utter confusion.

Hanisha's mind went crazy and wild when she heard from the guards that the King has been sneaking out every single night. She went full raged just by thinking about it.

As she entered the Meeting Room where the Dukes and the King had a meeting, she was yelling at Taehyung who was flustered. The three of them stared at Hanisha in complete shock as they watched her throwing all over the place.

Hanisha stopped her tracks, realising the situation she was in as she eyed the two other person present in the room other than Taehyung.

"W-What?" She stuttered, jaw hanging low.

"What are you doing here?" Taehyung asked, raising his eyebrows. "I thought you won't be here for another month?"

Hanisha was supposed to be away for two months since last month as what she told Taehyung, but everything went as fast as she expected to be and went home early, only to see an unexpected sight.

Jimin blinked twice, getting a clear view of the person in the door way as her scent invaded his nose. It was the scent that he smelled a month ago when he was searching Seokjin's room.

His voice cracked, heart pounded at what he saw. "Hanisha?"

The King and the other Duke jerked their head towards Jimin who was flabbergasted and dumbfounded as he stared at the shocking frame of the woman.

"J-Jimin?" She took a step back, almost stumbling to the ground as her hands glowed red from behind. She was getting prepared to erase his memory but got rid of it when Taehyung defended her.

"What Hanisha are you talking about, Jimin?" Taehyung chuckled, confused as to why his best friend was calling Ha Na as Hanisha, and he just let it be considering how Ha Na is Hanisha's reincarnation.

"It's Ha Na."

However, Taehyung was also baffled, and couldn't help but have this jealousy twisting in his stomach as he watched his best friend eyeing at Ha Na that way. He couldn't forget the fact that Jimin is still part of his destiny with Ha Na.

"But—" Jimin choked on his saliva, gulping down as he glanced at his best friend. "Taehyung, since when did you see her again?"

"What are you talking about?" The King raised his eyebrows, relaxing himself a little bit from the jealousy, thankful that the two already broke the eye contact before he could do something not worthy at all.

Just by Taehyung's question, that, definitely confirmed everything Jimin was trying to compose. Everyone has forgotten what happened three months ago.

The Duke just stared, eyes flickering down because he knew and he remembered what that stranger said.

One is real, and one is an illusion

He even remembered how the stranger told him that Hanisha is alive somewhere, and nearby. But he didn't expect it would be this near. It was really Hanisha— the one that he loved a thousand years ago, the one that he was truly destined to.

It was really her. And the stranger wasn't joking about her trying to bend other's destiny.

"N-Nothing." Jimin stuttered, looking down as his eyes trembled and avoided eye contact as much as he can. He was right about everything.

The third in power Duke stood up, lightly wheezing along the way as he tried to hold himself back from attacking his soulmate into a warm hug. Nonetheless, he was conflicted about everything.

Before he stormed out of the room, his eyes connected with Hanisha's eyes as both of them were holding themselves back. He needed her so much after all these years, and he didn't care but he needed her warmness in his cold figure. He couldn't deny the fact that he's still in love with her despite mistaking Ha Na as Hanisha and his soulmate.

He speeds his way out of the Palace with Taehyung and Hoseok yelling for him to come back but he was away from the premises of the Palace already.

The Duke stopped his tracks before dropping himself on the ground, clutching his chest and letting the salty tears streamed down his cold cheeks. Just what should he do? His lips quiver, closing his eyes tightly, and taking all the agonising pain that was shooting his heart in every way possible.

He knew that everyone's memory has been erased yet he chose to seal his mouth. He knew that the Ha Na there isn't really Ha Na but Hanisha yet he decided to lock his mouth to protect her.

Junsoo explained everything to him, and it was giving him the pieces of the puzzle he started. She told him the story from the very start on how Namjoon saved her instead of killing her after his attack. On how Namjoon spared Taehyung's life, and was preserved inside the coffin, only to be saved by someone powerful from the destiny he saw.

And it even surprised Jimin after knowing that Namjoon is alive and well.

Jimin found out that the two has been living together since a month ago after Seokjin spared his life. The two knew about Taehyung being alive since Seokjin told them after Namjoon gave the letter of Junsoo's address that day he was freed.

But the three of them were still dumbfounded about how did Taehyung survived.

Junsoo also explained how she chose to stay away all along, and it was because of Seokjin not wanting her to go back yet though she wasn't given an explanation. However, when they found out about Seokjin's death, they were all devastated and cried for hours.

Jimin told Junsoo about going back to the Palace since Taehyung might be trying to find her soon, and chose not to tell a word about everything while Namjoon, he stayed behind, not wanting to face the others yet which was pretty valid for Jimin.

Everyone explained their parts, and it was making sense to him.

All that he did was, not utter anything towards Taehyung as he chose to protect both of them.

Once Taehyung will find everything out, what could've happened? Chaos will happen.

A sigh escaped his lips, standing up when his ears twitched at the sound of leaves from the ground being walked on, and the scent that was lingering around the place.

The three scents.

His eyes widened, jerking his head towards the direction of the noise and scent only to see the lady who was with his brother back then. The lady who has three scents on her.

He watched as she was panting heavily and loud, trying to catch her breath and supporting herself by leaning on the tree.

"Aren't you the Luna?" Jimin asked, arching his eyebrows. "What are you doing here? Are you okay?"

Ha Na looked at him in the eyes, nose flaring and deadpanned asked. "Did you find an omega here?"

"What?" Jimin tilted his head on confusion before his plump lips forming into the shape of a circle.

"Oh..I didn't smell some omega around." He shook his head. "Why are trying to find an omega?"

Ha Na breathed in, replying. "I need to see her."
