Castle

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) It somehow saddened Hyungseok that Jessica wasn’t telling him what her favorite books were – of course she wouldn’t. It would probably take them into a direction of a conversation she wasn’t looking for. One that revolved around books and not about his reasons, why he had done what, why he was one of the filthiest creatures on earth – a pirate.

The young male coughed and covered his mouth, immediately taking a sip from his tea. He was already a lot better – he remembered being barely able to even breathe down in the cells, the cold stone on his skin feeling so cold while his body had been too hot, his lungs burning and every breath and only been worse. But now he only felt slightly hot, the fever had gone down to a bearable temperature that only turned his cheeks red but did not fry his brain and surely, his body felt still weak and his throat wasn’t entirely healed yet, but he could walk and breath and being awake was a lot better. The tea also helped a lot – he was very grateful for the majesty’s help.

“There are many crews that were… that were cruel. Brutal. But… for me they were home. They were everything I never had. I had a sister, I had a family.” Hyungseok hesitated and pulled his legs close, as if he wanted to keep himself together, as if he was scared of falling apart. He couldn’t just end up crying and break in front of the Empress. “I don’t know, honestly,” he then added and therefore replied to the woman’s question. “I wasn’t there when it happened. And when I came back this… had taken over the ship and… and he hated me.”
Hyungseok buried his hands in his hair and took a shaky breath. He had known that his life wouldn’t stay good forever but he hadn’t wanted it to take this turn. Again.
“He threw me into the sea.” Oh yeah, and it was still a surprise he had survived that.

“Maybe… a year? Two? Less? More?” He shook his head. “I lost track of time.”
He smiled weakly and took a shaky breath, his dry and broken lips. “I travelled from town to town and helped people in need for a piece of bread and a place to sleep. The money I got from time to time I gave to orphanages or families that needed it, old people and such.” He shrugged slightly. One time he had even gotten a few clothes from an old woman whose son had long left. She had been so sweet and grateful, Hyungseok wished he could have stayed longer.

“I never stayed in a place for too long. I didn’t want to endanger anyone with my face lingering around. Soldiers could have noticed my face and I did not want to hurt those people.” After all they had helped him.
He then shrugged. “I am sorry I can’t tell you more. Feel free to ask if there is anything you need to know.”
Slightly he coughed again and took another sip from his tea. It tasted good and helped his throat a lot.

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) Awwwww lovely! But here you are! How are you? I will reply now too :3 I havent been on regularly as well, sadly D:

@Park Hyungseok (P) I. AM. SO. SO SO SOOO SORRY!@!!!!!!!! THIS REPLY TOOK MONTHS-I AM SO SORRY ><<<<<<<

...i missed you...;;;;;

@Park Hyungseok (P) When he had asked calmly about books Jessica liked, she immidiatly felt a tinge of something in her stomach. A sense of doing wrong. That question seemed like such a gamey question-one leading to both of them using there fakeness to answer and talk. She knew if she just answered that like they were having a regular tea time, she would not only be any closer to gaining his trust, but they both would not get anywhere and lie to one another when all the Empress wanted was to be reassuring that she would not hurt him anymore. He was smart and cautious, but so was she.

So, she didn't answer his question, but let him tell her the story of his life. She listened with soft pacitence, as he told her personal things she would be sure to keep in this room, wither he knew this or not. His story was sad, but his eyes and lips told him he was being honest. Not a bit of hesitation, and his voice was not weird, off, but relaxed, and yet not calm enough where you knew the tongue was posionus. She nodded, drinking more of her tea, and thinking for a moment what she should ask next.

"There have been crew like that in the past." she tried not to say it bitterly, but if he was going to be truthful, so was she, and she was a bit bitter in her heart. A time when she was younger and didn't have to worry about ruling, or the politics with Pirates and Bandits-heck, there wasn't too much of the Bandits around back in the day. They had formed when the power was switched on her shoulders, and they found a weak hole, snuck right into it, and now they were a plague, and the helpless Empress was having more trouble than ever. Her crown weighted more every day she put it on. She resented it, to be frank. "In your words, how recent was the death and change of your crew? When did you abandon ship?" she knew around the time that he would be telling the truth, because she was an Empress who had studied her history. It would be obvious when he was lieing.

But, yet again she was here not only to try and find his innocence, which hopefully wouldn't be too hard, but to give him offers and help him get away from the Pirate life, if he was ever considering going back. Right now, Jessica had to think a bit selfishly,a dn though she had hope that the era of peace would arise, she knew realistically it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. It may take a couple years, and so putting him or sending this boy to a place where he wouldn't go to another crew, even if they were slightly nicer, was the goal for the Empress today.

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) ♥

@Park Hyungseok (P) <3333333

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) Nothing to thank me for, really <3

@Park Hyungseok (P) () okie >< thank you love <333

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) (Awwww I will be patient, dont worry!
I know people are busy so just make sure you are taking care of yourself, okay? I'll wait!)

@Park Hyungseok (P) () hi love o0o first off, I wanna apologize for taking so long with both my replies, life has been busy once again. And two, I would like to say that I will reply to this reply asap, (i already replied a little while ago to Jongsuk) and I hope you will just be pacient with me >< sorry!

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) Carefully Hyungseok sipped his drink and listened to Jessica speak. He was a careful person and even though he knew she was a good Empress he would not try and easily believe everything she told him. Not because he didn’t like her, no no, she seemed like a person he did like, but because she was a royal and he had to be careful around royals.
“I don’t know. There was a children’s book I liked quite a lot but… It has been a while. It was very cute and my mother used to read it to me.” He smiled slightly. But his mother was long dead now, over ten years – he missed her a lot.

“And you, your highness? Any books you enjoy?” he asked softly and held onto the cup with tea, sipping on it from time to time. It felt good and his throat hurt a little less. The Empress really put some effort in the conversation but maybe she wanted something from him. Which was fine, he would be honest if there was anything he could do.

For a long moment he hesitated before he replied but he knew it was no use to lie so why would he even try it? Either he died here or not.
“There is… a big wanted poster of my face,” he said softly and his dry lips. “I was the right hand of a pirate crew for a few years. I don’t know if you heard of it, but we were a honorable group. Never killed anyone, only took as much as we needed, always open for negotiations.” He sighed slightly. “But the captain died a few months ago. That was when the crew changed. And that was why I left.” He looked at the tea, feeling sad. He had loved his crew. They had always been respectful, they had even been respected by the army and the royals but had been hated by other pirates. And now the crew had turned into a disgusting piece of . It was sad. The death of his captain had been sad too, she had been honorable and strong. Stubborn, but a good captain.
“My father is in the army,” he then said softly. “He’s been trying to catch me ever since I left home with fourteen.” He had been so young but how could he stay with a man that had killed his own wife and tried to kill his son as well? He was a disgusting man, he played dirty.

“But don’t worry. I never killed anyone.” He smiled sadly and shrugged. “But people don’t judge that. They hear you are a pirate and… they don’t ask any further questions.” He sighed and took a sip from his tea, smiling sadly. “I don’t exactly know why I was in that cell. I remember trying to help a crying child. Nothing more.” He touched his forehead that was having a patch on it by now – it had hurt but then everything had been black. He then looked at the Empress. “I hope that answers your questions, your highness.”
He coughed slightly and took another sip from his tea.

@Park Hyungseok (P) Jessica sipped her tea, as it was hot and fresh from the stove, and watched the pale figure sit down as he was, and got himself some tea. She knew she needed to be gentle with him. He seemed more like a homeless boy than a Pirate, but she knew as soon as the thought came up to #1, never judge a book by its cover and #2 to be optimistic of what he could bring.

She had a thought. She could use him for multiple tasks, if he was willing, but she wanted to treat him with hospitality. And she hated the word "use" in any tense. She wondered over this thought, of how she could ask something of him with this in mind?

She put her tea down gentle on her cup plate and put both hands on her lap as she faced him. "Oh, really? You read?" she hoped when the words came out, he would take them as a question of her trying to get to know him or get him more comfortable-again, she would not resort to stereotypes. She then added shortly after. "Do you have any books or authors you enjoy?" she hoped with those words it sounded like a better thing to answer.'He's very timid...' she noticed how carefully he made eye contact with her, how he was cautious with his voice volume and words. 'Gotta make him more comfortable, but maybe that will just come with time....'

Then he asked the question why. Why was he here? Why him? She guessed she could get down to the point now as he wished. She took a soft but long breath in and out before starting. "It's alright. Let me explain," she said, watching him. "I wanted to hear from you your side of the story. Why were you really in that cell?" she asked. She would do her best to detect his lies and truths as she observed him. She had to, even if he felt a little uncomfortable by a Queens watch. over him.

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) Hyungseok saw a woman leave and bowed a bit, hoping he hadn’t interrupted them. They seemed quite familiar but he was no one to judge. He blinked surprised when Jessica asked him to sit with her and slowly sat down, a bit hesitant – he didn’t want to make a mistake or anger anyone. “Thank you, your Highness,” he whispered and could feel the stares of the guards in his back. His voice was still croaky and weak just like his entire body but there was nothing else he could do. Of course he was getting better but after the treatment in the cells he was lucky to still be alive.

“Yes,” he said softly and smiled slightly. “They did treat me better. But I am still a prisoner, I think their treatment is accurate.” Surely they treated him as prisoner. They gave more food to the other people in the infirmary, they gave them better food and his tea always arrived half cold but at least he did get some food and tea and that was something he would not complain about. He was still scared they might decide on killing him. And he really did not want that.
He blinked when she poured him a tea and he nodded slowly, surprised. He hadn’t had tea with milk and sugar for a very long time – being a pirate made it impossible. The milk expired too fast and sugar was very expensive so it was a no go for them – and after all they really did not need it
“I really like tea,” he said softly with a really weak and sore voice and carefully took the cup in his hand. He put a little amount of milk and sugar in it, wanting to try it after she already offered it to him. “I haven’t read a book for quite a while,” he then admitted. Normal pirates could not read at all. But he hadn’t grown up in a poor household. In fact he had enjoyed the best education, he could read, write, do math and he even knew sign language and such but he barely let anyone know about this.

Hyungseok looked carefully at her, scared of being punished for looking at her – he wanted to keep his eyes.
She really was a beauty. Beautiful long hair, a soft expression and a really pretty face. But she also looked very soft and caring. A good Empress, definitely.
“Uhm, your highness, I still… I am very thankful that you took me from the cells,” as he would have died there otherwise, “but I still do not understand why you did it.” He had thought about it but no one had ever had pity with him and took him away from the cells. After all he was nothing more than a filthy pirate to them.

@Park Hyungseok (P) A few days had past, and though the Empress worried, she knew he would probably need all the time he could get to recover. But the best she could give him was a couple days, as not only was she antsy, but her council which she was slightly questioning at the point was getting antsy to. They had an image, they thought, but Jessica wasn't sure if their pride was really that big, or it was something else...

But anyways, she was warned just a minute before Hyungseok arrived of him coming to meet her. She talked with one of her ladies. Tea and small chat just about the nice lady Evilin's life. It was when Evelins eyes looked up, and Jessica turned around did she catch the male. He was still thin, but he seemed better. 'Maybe it's genetics...' she thought, smiling and looking back at her lady, who knew what to do. She curtsed and excused herself.

Jessica placed her tea cup down and smiled softly at the male whom seemed confused, and a bit timid. She understood. "Please, are you cold? Come sit by the fire with me." she said, moving over and patting a chair across from hers for him to sit in as she moved back and sat down herself.

"I hope you are feeling better. Did they treat you better in the infirmary than in the cells?" she asked, pouring a cup of tea for the other. "Please feel free to add as much milk and sugar as you want. I realize it's a bit old fashioned, but it's really nice to have this type of tea when you wanna relax and read a book or something." she grinned at him, hoping to make their talk natural for the other. She didn't expect him to speak formally to her, but she understood because even though she was strictly taught to speak formally to almost everyone, she was pampered while he was not. Same with many workers around her. So in many cases she has had to talk to others and learn a more informal language. She enjoyed it that way because that ment they were more like equals than her always above. Too much of a burden her position was sometimes.

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) When Hyungseok met up with the Empress he wasn't feeling entirely better. He still felt weak and his lung still was infected - probably pneumonia which was no surprise after him being down there for quite a while - but compared to a few days before he was already feeling a lot better. He still could not entirely understand how he ended up here. Had he done something even more severe that a normal hanging wasn't appropriate? At least the idea of his father coming to get him was something he had abandoned - his father wouldnt have made sure of him to get better first. He would have made sure that he suffered. No matter what.

He bowed while sitting in the bed - he was still too weak on his legs to stand properly. After all the days resting he needed to get used to walking first but that wont be much of a problem. He kept eating regularly - compared to what kings ate it was disgusting but Hyungseok had been a pirate for way too long so this was something he enjoyed eating. It was more than just dry bread.
"Hello," he whispered and lowered his head in respect. Not everyone was able to speak to the Empress like this and Hyungseok was sure he wanted to show her the respect she deserved. She was a good woman. A good ruler of the kingdom.

"I... Dont really know why you want to talk to me," Hyungseok then admitted and chewed on his bottom lip. He smiled slightly at Jessica, trying his best to be respectful.

@Park Hyungseok (P) Jessica watched as they took the male, picking him up and bringing him out. But suddenly he started whimpering and fighting them. Jessica went back over to him quickly, hoping to calm him down. He was seriously sick! She wondered what she could do if there were others in his condition she was unaware about. "Shhhhh" she told him, coming back over as he seemed to be talking to her. "It's ok, your not gonna die, and your not gonna be killed." she reassured him, stroking his sweaty hair from his face, with hre sleeve trying to remove some sweat and cold.

"Please be gentle with him." she told the guards. It's not like she could see their grips were hurting the male badly, but she knew they were trying to hold him down. "He may be a prisoner now, but he is ill. We will at least treat him till we know what really has happend, because I don't belive some of these reports." she told the men, who moved out and headed down the cor-door with the little guy. She watched as he was still fighting a little through out the hall, and she looked back down over the males shoulder.

"Who's next?"

They took Hyungseok up many flights of staires to the infirmary, where they explained to the doctors and nurses what was up. Some frowned, but as the Empress ordered, they did as they were told. They bathed him in warm water, got him into warmer, softer clothing (the best they could on the spot, and for a prisoner) as well as put him on a cot in the far corner of the whole infirmary for him to rest with wet clothes over his body. When he woke up, they were to feed him some broth and water, and explain that when he is ready, (which honestly the max was 2 more days) he needed to speak with the Empress.

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) Hyungseok could barely feel the touch of her hand on his forehead, his skin feeling sensitive but his head was too slow to realize things. He wondered what was going on – why was the Empress down here? He could hear some other prisoners call something, some shameful things Hyungseok was glad he could barely understand. The Empress of Ferric was a nice Empress, one with a warm heart so they should really not say such rude words to her.

There were some words said and when Hyungseok opened his eyes he could see beautiful, young woman just a few meters away from him, her voice so melodic he almost thought she sang. Was she an angel? Was he already dead and she was an angel? No, he couldn’t be dead, the air was still cold and his body still hurt. Was this the Empress? He couldn’t say it as his eyes were way too glassy to see who it was, his vision blurry.

And then there were hands on his body and he got scared. Were they going to hang him? Cut his head? Shoot him? No, he didn’t want to die. He knew he had made mistakes but he had never killed anyone or hurt severally so why?
“No,” he sobbed, his voice so weak, it was breaking apart. “No please,” he whimpered and tried to get out of their grasp but it only hurt, their grip tightening. He could feel hot tears on his already hot cheeks and he whimpered, holding still so they would loosen the grip a bit. It was painful.
“Don’t kill me,” he whispered towards the woman with the golden hair. “Please.” He shivered badly and then went still, taking shaky breaths in his burning lungs while those men kept carrying him.

Hyungseok wasn’t sure where they were taking him but all he could do was pressing his eyes closed and hoping he would survive it. He had just wanted to help some kids. So why was he here? He had done nothing but good things ever since he had left the pirate ship and even while being a pirate he had not done anything harmful.
Or was it his father? Had his father found out that he was here and he wanted to see him once again? No. Please.
“Don’t,” he pleaded once again, his voice giving in midway and ended up as a croak. Once again he tried to get out of the men’s hands but they held onto him.

The last he could see before he passed out was waving, beautiful blond hair. Then everything went black, his weak body giving in to the exhaustion and pain.

@Park Hyungseok (P) "Here's one of the names-Hey, boy, turn around and greet your Empress!" the man told a male in his cell. Jessica turned and looked in, seeing how there was a small, thin figure on the ground, clutching himself and shivering. Concern washed over Jessica's face, and she asked the male.
"What is his crime?"
"We believe he was part of a pirate ship that had robbed a couple houses and raided a bar." she nodded and watched the poor boy.
"Hmm..." she said out loud, thinking. "Open the door." the man nodded, and two guards entered first as precaution. Then the Empress walked in, coming over to the males side. She gently pushed up his bangs and felt his head. He was burning up.
"Please see to it you take him out to a nurse as well as get him washed. I want him out of here. Immediately." she told the old man. he blinked at her in shock.
"But Empress-"
"Immidiantly. I shall talk to him when he is well." she stood up and stepped back. Three guards moved and picked the male up, taking him up and out.

@Park Hyungseok (P) Empress Jessica had not been to the dungeons...almost ever. She couldn't remember the last time she was there, but it had to have been years. Everything about her rule was falling apart. Her kind heart was something outsiders couldn't see, though they have heard of it. Everything was crashing around her, and she was jumping into depression due to it. More Pirates and Bandits were entering and taking over her kingdom, she would be kidnapped pretty much every occasion she went outside her castle walls, etc etc.

Now, one of the many issues she desired to see to was the problem with the dungeons and prisoners. She had been presented by some of her people and not her council (which really ticked her off) that some of the prisoners shouldn't be in prison-and that they were being treated badly. 'I need to see to my soldiers more too...' she mentally added that to the list in her head of all her worries. And now, she had went down down down to the dungeons piratically at sea level below and near her castle. She had thought and wondered if that was a smart choice, but they didn't have the resources to change it. She knew it was avernrable spot.

"Fresdrick" she called one of her gaurds who was escaourting her down to the pit of prosioners.
"Yes my Empress?" he asked, moving up beside her as they walked down a long set of stairs.
"Make a note for me. We need some more secutriy on this place. I worry of a suprise attack." she told him, he nodded.
"Yes your highness."
"And Fresdrick?"
"Yes Empress?"
"Please send one guard back to inform my ladies and the council of this matter."
"Yes Empress." Fresdrick moved back in line, and there was soft mutters behind her which she knew her guards were following her order.
"Thank you" she shot a warm smile back at all her men. Some of them smiled back, but she knew her warmth made a difference. That's why some of the guards stayed with her instead of ditching her-her heart which her mom and pa had raised her to have and keep. 'I bet if I was harsher, my kingdom would be ash' the thought crossed her mind and she quietly continued down the stairs.

"This is the floor milady." Jessica was directed by another guard to one of the many wooden doors they had past, but she guessed this was it. She waited as a guard got a key, and swung open the door. A old man called attention quickly in the room, and the guards moved to the sides and stood like tall statues. Jessica walked in, picking up her blue dress. She knew it would be dirty on the ends, but she would do her best. She walked in slow, and waited.

"You highness." the old man who called attention greeted her, bowing and took her hand to kiss her knuckles. She smiled softly and did a curtsy. "How have you been sir?" "Well, thank you milady. Now then, you are here to see...?" "Yes," she turned and walked forward a bit so everyone could here her in the dungeon. "I heard there was a couple incidents, where my guards and soldiers have been luring out the bandits and pirates, Though this is what I wish for the softy of the people, there has been much talk of how some men and women that have been brought in are actually innocent, and some methods of use by these guards and soldiers are not humanly and not what will be accepted." there was a pause of silence for everyone, even the prisoners, to absorb her words.

She moved back to the older man and said. "Please show to me these men." she gave a nod to one her her guards, who walked up to the man and showed him a slip of paper with names on them. The older man walked over, muttering to himself and then took his glasses off a small table which Jessica guessed was his work desk. He looked over the names, and nodded. "Follow me" The male started walking into the dugeons, and Jessica began to see from the corner of her eyes the men in the rusty smelly cages. Some spat and her and reached for her, but many were silent. Jessica held up a hand to a male guard whom was about to hit a prisoner who was yellin crud things and reached for Jessica from his cage, looking back at the guard and said. "No." Like a mother disciplining her child, he froze as the beautiful Empress spoke to him, and moved back as she asked. more prisoners became silent watching this.

@[H] Jung Jessica (RE) The air surrounding him was surprisingly cold and his head was spinning.

He remembered being knocked down but he had lost the track of time ever since then. Had it been hours? No, he had seen the sun go up and down through the tiny window at the end of the hallway so it must have been days so by now his head didn’t hurt because of the sudden hit he had gotten on his head but because of the lack of water. Hyungseok had slept for a view hours on the cold, humid stone ground, his back already aching for something softer. He had been used to sleeping on wooden ground but not on stone ground. He was only not stinking because they had thrown quite a few buckets of water at him – it had been ice cold but somehow it had been refreshing but now it wasn’t feeling good to lie here on the ground with his still wet clothes.

If he was honest it had been his own fault. He had been distracted by some children who had cried but obviously they had simply been paid to catch him – they had said they were sorry, that was what Hyungseok remember before he had blacked out. He had always had a soft spot for children, maybe because he hadn’t been treated well as a child and now he wanted to give children the kindness he had never received. He wasn’t entirely sure about that but who cared?

Shivering badly Hyungseok curled up some more, rubbing his skinny arms. His stomach growled but he remembered having eaten some dry bread – not sure how long ago this had been but he wasn’t able to change a thing anyways. They would either leave him to die here or hang him outside – he had been a pirate for way too long to ever see freedom again.

Coughing pitifully he curled up, his lungs burning just like his head while the cold air filled the room – the other prisoners didn’t feel much different, probably. They weren’t many, maybe a handful, but the guards liked to play around with all of them, see them suffer. He remembered bits and pieces about the Empress of Ferric and he remembered that she was a good woman, a gentle and loving one – hopefully she would never see what those soldiers did to those people. Hyungseok was sure some of them hadn’t done anything but stolen an apple. But the dungeons of Ferric were only suitable for a murderer – cold air, humid surroundings, stone everywhere and it must be close to the sea as Hyungseok could feel the harsh breeze coming in and out between the rocks and the waves were audible as well. This was one of the most horrible dungeons he had ever been – and hopefully his last one.

Hyungseok curled up a little more as he heard footsteps, making him flinch. But they were softer than those of the guards harassing them regularly. The footsteps were careful and soft and it almost calmed Hyungseok down. He wondered whoever it was but he felt too weak to turn around and see.
“Hey, boy, turn around and greet your Empress!” a man with a sore and harsh voice said but Hyungseok couldn’t. He would probably faint from weakness and exhaustion if he moved only so much as a finger. And he felt sorry for that, he had always been a well behaved person, especially in front of royalty that deserved it. And this Empress definitely deserved it.

@Kim Hyuna (RC) Jongsuk sighed, clearly hearing the woman. He felt so sorry for her and he wished he could do something but he doubted that entering the bathroom was something he should really do now. Some disgusting people had just touched her, she didnt need another male to interrupt her.
He sighed and got some nice food for them, hoping it might calm her down. Sadly he was horrible in comforting people. He had never been surprisingly good with it anyways but he wanted to at least try it a little bit.

@Lee Jongsuk (S) "No, this clothes are okay, Prince." she blurted out, taking the clothes from the Prince, "I mean, Jongsuk." she said to him as she enters the bathroom.
Hyuna look at the warm water dripping from the faucet to the bath tub and the soap near it, and immediately goes to it, letting her body feel the warm water made contact with her skin as she clean her body with soap, crying and sobbing in the bathroom with every rub she make to clean her body.
In no time, Hyuna found the water overflowing on the bath tub as she stays there hugging her knees while sobbing, the water now dripping on the cold cement floor.

@Kim Hyuna (RC) Jongsuk nodded and opened another door that lead to a bathroom with a huge bathtub. He prepared something and then let some warm water go in it, putting some nice soap in it as well. It wasnt hard to guess that she wanted to get rid of the men's touches. He smiled softly at her and nodded again.
"Of course," he said and looked for clothes that migt be still too big for her but would fit at elast a bit. "Are those okay? If not I can send a maid to get some clothes."

@Lee Jongsuk (S) Hyuna look around the room as she entered it, turning around when she felt the door being close making her panic but, immediately calm down when she saw that he didn't lock it making her form a little smile in her lips as she look at him to answer his question, "I-i'm not hungry, Jongsuk." she started, "I-i just wanted to take a bath." she answered, wanting to clean herself from the touches of the men a while ago, "C-can you lend me a shirt or some clothes?" she asked, fidgeting her fingers nervously because of the question she was asking to a prince.

@Kim Hyuna (RC) Jongsuk brought her to the room he was staying in, a soft smile on his lips.
"Come in, right?" he hummed and stepped a bit away so she could enter, closing the door behind them but not locking it. He wanted to give her the freedom to leave whenever she wanted to.
"Are you hungry or do you need anything? If you want you can also take a bath." He smiled softly and looked at her. "Anything you are comfortable with."

@Lee Jongsuk (S) Hyuna nodded, bowing her head to the prince before calling him just by his name, "J-jongsuk." she responded, "T-thank you for saving me, Jongsuk." she thanked him, biting her bottom lip before trying to stand up again as she cvers herself more with the coat before nodding her head agin to the man and following him as he leads the way somewhat trusting the man because of his kind words that he says to her.
Hyuna then continues to walk following the man, sometimes looking at him or caughting him while looking at her that somehow make her blush.

@Kim Hyuna (RC) Jongsuk frowned, feeling bad for the young woman. She was really beautiful and kind, she didnt deserved being treated like this. He sighed and bit his lip.
"My name is Jongsuk," he said softly. "Just call me Jongsuk, okay?" He showed her a small smile, shaking his head a bit.
"Well... we actually didnt have an appointment. But that way I could get them away," he said and slowly started walking, making sure she would walk with him. "Follow me, okay?" He kept looking back, making sure she stayed close. With him she would be safe for now.

@Lee Jongsuk (S) Hyuna nodded her head in response as she covered her body with the coat, making her somewhat comfortable and safe in addition to how careful and soft the man spoke, enough to lessen her fear somehow.
"I-it's okay, Prince." she stuttered as she flinch when the man starts to help her up, making her push the man a little, "I-i can do it, Prince." she said with her shaky voice, bowing her head towards the man.
Hyuna somewhat gave him a curious look because of his question, thinking how she would answer or thinking if it was whether more of a joke or a flirting style to get her, "B-but, you said we have an appointment. I-i shall please you with my body, Prince." she bowed.

@Kim Hyuna (RC) Jongsuk looked at her in worry and carefully knelt down, putting his coat around her to cover her and make her feel safe.
"They wont do it again," he said, his voice soft and careful. He wasnt good with taking care of people but he really wanted to comfort the young woman. No one should ever have to endure something like this. No matter if job or not.
"You are safe for now. I am sorry for acting superior," he added, helping her up. He wasnt even important here but his parents were - Emperor and Empress of Pyrope - so of course they would respect him. He took a shaky breath.
"Lets get you a warm tea. What is your favorite?" He needed to help her calm down. He wasnt good with taking care of people even though he wished he was.

@Lee Jongsuk (S) Hyuna remains on the floor, the weight of the man pushing her down unto it as his hands was now rubbing her thighs, while his other hand was covering to shout and scream for help, until she heard a voice of a man which made her turn her head and stop herself from struggling, together with the bunch of men who seems to be shocked.
The man immediately let her go, zipping their pants up and wearing their tops as they bowed and apologizes to the man before running away, leaving her in the floor while her thigh was now revealed to the man who stop the group of men, her cleavage also showing because of the struggling she made as her tears continuously rans down to her cheeks.
"T-thank you, Prince." she mumbles softly, trying to get up with her shaking body, still trembling because of fear and just what happened, making her just fall to the ground once again not bring able to stand up.
