The Virgin Outcast Who Stole The King’s Heart - Chapter 31 Trial 02

I watch as the elders all begin looking at me, each with different expression on their face’s which make me jot in my mind ..They all already know. Rumours, how rumours can fly so quickly.

I walk forward ..still following Yabo ..who seems to be taking me to my Empress throne.

Hmm.. I thought I was going to be punished or worse banished again.

I turned to Jandi who’s standing beside me.

“What’s going on?” I whispered

“This morning the Emperor came to meet you but you were still sleeping so he asked me things ..like what happened yesterday and I told him.” She whisper back ..her reply making me feel more disturbed.

“This doesn’t mean that he will set my brother free ..right.” I mutter to my self then start walking faster but still behind Yabo who bow slowly then said Empress when I’m now in front of my throne . I sit quickly and turn my heard towards the Emperor but then panic when all the Elders and people in the hall all bow and greet in acknowledgment ..for a while there I had totally forgotten that, that’s the custom.

I kept looking at the Emperor, trying to communicate with him through my eyes but he wouldn’t even look at me. I sigh and sit back down properly but then something caught my attention ..A handcuffed Sangyun’s being escorted inside like a criminal.

I watch as Seo-jun lead Sangyun’s to the left side of the hall where he sit Sangyun’s down, uncuff him then take his own sit. I discard my eyes from them and move it back to the entrance door ..there i saw Hwa holding her mother’s hand as they make there way to there various sit but what is confusing and scaring me now at the same time is there emotionless faces which make me ask myself ..Is this part of there plan?

The hall become very quite when the Emperor begin to speck.

“Baek Sunghyun, what’s the reason for this meeting?.” The Emperor ask one of his elders ..I guess he’s the one who sets and explain the reason for any gatherings the Emperor calls for.

I listen as Elder Baek Sunghyun begin summarizing yesterday’s deserter. When he was done he bow to the Emperor while telling him that he’s done.

Murmurs, whispers are being heard as some people begin arguing others started voicing there opinions.

The Emperor begin to speck again which make the people in the hall to quite down.

“Ahn Jae-hyun, what’s your opinion on this?” TheEmperor ask the Prime minister who stand up and begin voicing his opinion.

“His Highness, The Empress only went in there because of her brother ..like her personal maid said. The issue here is her brother who is an outcast and why is Sunghyun holding him captive in Shille?” The Prime minister asked then start to speck again but was interrupted by angry voices who are now standing and voicing out there disagreement very loudly.

“He have to die by hanging for breaking the rule and stepping foot in Shille!!” An angry voice yell very loudly but what makes tears to begin forming in my eyes is the others ..who are now standing and yelling at the same time.

“Death by hanging! Kill him!!.”

“Kim Min-jun shall die by hanging! It’s the law that if a outcast who ever sets foot in the forbidden country that he’s not supposed to then he shall die by hanging in the deseu hol.” Elder Jo In-sung yell out loud.

I look up at the Emperor but I can’t tell what’s he is thinking ..all I see is the frown on his forehead. I look at Jandi and she has a very scared look on her face that I’m sure almost match mine. I turn to look everyone else and all of them except Yabo and the other guards have a very angry and determined look on there faces ..the annoying part is Kyung-sook and her children, they are smirking ..they have a very readable, victorious smile on there faces.

Why do they want my brother dead by all means?

What are they trying to hide?

I found my self standing up and my feet moving to where the Emperor is ..I stand in front of him and begin crying then kneel. Suddenly I feel someone hold me up before my kneel could touch the ground ..I look up at the bearer of the hand and my eyes meet a very furious eyes ..My husband which made me look down immediately in shame.

I’m a disgrace!

I feel the Emperor lift me up then hand me over to Jandi who is now near me and instruct Yabo to escort us back to my room but I don’t want to go! I want to talk to him.. Why won’t you let us have a conversation about this or any conversation at all. I know now is not the right time to voice my opinion and besides, I can’t ..even if I want to, I know I can’t so I just follow Yabo and Jandi and walk out of the hall but not before I heard my husband voice telling them that the meeting has been postpone, that it will continue tomorrow.
