Chapter 1 – First Night on Their Chamber
None husband will predict an attack on their chamber by his own wife, not even the King
.
The clattering of wine cup and liquor and whispers from the noble around the banquet about the King who has finally married with the Queen can be heard. Finally after their King turns into 19th years old, he's married with the youngest princess of Northern Kai Empire who only two years under the King's age.
Joo Doh turns his head around, confusing "where is the King and the Queen?".
Geun Tae smirks, his usual feral grin showing amusement before he chuckles "just now I saw them run away to their chamber. I never expect if the King would become that aggressive".
Kyo Ga clears his throat "just let them be".
This time, Joon Gi turns his head around as if looking for something, someone actually "eto... Any of you see my daughter?".
The other Shogun only shakes their head when Mundok shrugs and comments "who know? And my boy isn't around here anymore, too".
Ayura comes out of nowhere, telling them "if Elder and Shogun looking for Tae Woo Shogun and Lady Lily, they're going out of the ballroom just now with Tetora and Han Dae. There's something Lady Lily wanted to talking about with Tae Woo Shogun but Tae Woo Shogun has avoided her and he's escaped from the ballroom with Han Dae so Lady Lily and Tetora pursuing them".
Joon Gi and Mundok's jaw drops, yelling in unison "WHAT?!".
On other side, Geun Tae become excited "wow, what kind of progress they're doing? Is this because of the King marrying the Queen?".
Joon Gi and Mundok clears their throat.

After Lily finds him, she's asking Tetora to stay at her place when they sees Han Dae patting the Wind Tribe Shogun who vomits whatever out of his stomach. Han Dae rises and take step backwards after he sees Lily approaching Tae Woo.
Lily crouches herself beside Tae Woo "Tae Woo...".
Tae Woo realizes the sympathy on her looks and he avoids to looking straight into her blue eyes that somehow, stirring his heart because that beautiful blue eyes looks sparkling below the gleaming of full moonlight, provokes and teasing his inner so he slaps her coming hand "just let me alone...".
Lily sighs, she leaning her head on his back, both her palms caressing his back as if wants to tell him that she is here and he is not alone "...I can't, besides why are you drinking so much like this if you can't handle it?".
Tae Woo catches Lily's wrist, he grabs her shoulder and pushes her back till her back pressed on the wall. Tetora wants to interrupt them at the time but Han Dae grabs her shoulder and shakes his head, he know his friend very well and he know if his friend won't hurt her even if he's drunk, he only wants to threatens her.
His blue eyes stares at her surprised expression, he leans after put both his palm beside her face. He's looking at her with sharp gaze, whispers beside her ear, voice strict and hoarse as the side-effect of vomits after taking so much liquor in "I needn't your sympathy, at all...".
For his surprise, Lily's face unwavering, rather she feels like she heard something and pushes him, turning her head to the side "...wait, do you hear that?".
.
Silence, in the middle of the darkness.
A labored breath, in and out as his adrenaline rises. His beads of sweat trailing to his chin.
Blood dripping to the floor from the knife on her hand. The trace of scarlet liquid starts from the blanket above the bed to the trail where she goes, approaching her husband with knife on her hand.
Just a moment ago, after carrying his wife going inside their chamber and settling her body up to the bed, his wife who lays on their bed stretching her hands up, asks him wordlessly but with her gesture, he knows she invite him. He smirks as he leaning over his body, resting one his hand on the pillow beside her head while one his hand grasping her wrist. He kisses her, passionate and fulfills with desire of her. As he brushes his lips into hers, she wraps her hand, crawling around his body which loosening his robe, sneaks under his robe and touching his body. He doesn't mind, because he is doing the same with her silk robe as well. Next second, he catches a glimpse of sharp metal shining under the moonlight, reflected at the mirror beside the bed, he jumps to the side of the bed and releases her body after alarms on his head ringing. He can't believe this, his wife swings her sword to him. He is still lucky, his wound isn't that deep. He covers his bleeding nape, maybe only a second he failing to avoid her attack, he will lose his life. Only a few inches his vital vein will cut off.
He know he supposes to not let himself catch his guard off.
In the end, she is still the princess of Kai Empire.
She is so beautiful and intoxicating, just like a butterfly who beautiful to see but hard to catch. He doesn't expect to attacked by her, maybe he should set his minds up.
Maybe she isn't butterfly, but a thorny rose, and the thorn hurts him.
He turns his attention from the knife on her hand to his wife's cold eyes. Rather than trying to escape out, he asks her "why... Why are you trying to kill me, Setsu?".
"why? Are you asks me why am I trying to kill you?", ignoring her disheveled kimono under her robe which shows her cleavage and her thigh, she sheathes her sword and pointing her sword to his neck "it's simple, Soo Won... because I hate you... you, who had killed him, the one and only man I love...".
Her stern gaze shows nothing but deep anger and hatred.
Under the moonlight, he kneels on the floor, looking at the paleness of her skin like the snow, her straight hair cascading her shoulder and hip, the color of her hair not only the purple of the sunset but the Maroon of the Camellia flower petal, too. The look on her stern blue eyes as cold as ice. Her blue eyes isn't the usual blue eyes like other, her blue eyes is the mixed color of the Azure Blue Sky or the ice and the Navy Blue of the Sky at night or the deepest sea. Its cold gaze paralyzes his body, freezing his spine till the his deepest vein.
He doesn't expect to see her tears when she's trying to kill him. It's not the first time he sees her crying but the tears falls from her eyes, left wet traces on her cheek, sparkling like pearl from the cold sea.
Even in the middle of this dangerous situation where his wife trying to kill him, how can he still thinking about her intoxicating and breathtaking beauty?

A/N Yoan :
Yes, this is my first fanfic and I've written story as long as the same time with my twin sister but the difference is, I'm not ready yet to post it and unlike my diligent older sister, I'm lazier than her so I'm sorry if I'm taking slower time to post my fanfic rather than my sister. Rather than using past tense, I prefers using present tense (to make difference between us on writing too).
