Rebirth of the Emperor's Betrayed Concubine
*they will die *
The night air was cool, but it felt almost electric as Jungkook took a step toward her.
Tae remained still beneath the willow tree, the moonlight cascading over her like a silken veil.
The soft rustling of her long hair in the breeze added to the ethereal image she presented—calm, composed, yet undeniably captivating.
Jungkook stood a few feet away, his gaze fixed on her with intensity.
She could see the admiration in his eyes, but Tae knew better than to reveal all her cards at once.
This was a delicate game, one of power and patience.
Tae lowered her eyes slightly, tilting her head just enough to make her appear demure, almost like a vulnerable kitten.
She allowed the silence to stretch for a moment, letting Jungkook grow more uncertain, more intrigued by her.
Her voice, when she spoke, was soft—almost timid, like a whisper on the wind.
jeon taehyung (tae)
Your Majesty… I’ve always admired you,
She began, her words slow, measured.
She kept her gaze lowered, her long lashes casting shadows over her delicate features.
She wanted to appear as if she were afraid of his power, just enough to appeal to his ego and desire to protect.
Jungkook blinked, his breath catching slightly at the sudden confession.
He repeated, surprised, a faint trace of a smile tugging at his lips.
There was something in her tone, something fragile, that seemed to stir a protective instinct in him, but he couldn’t quite place it.
Tae nodded, her voice even softer now, with a hint of shyness that made her seem delicate—almost fragile in his presence.
jeon taehyung (tae)
Yes, Your Majesty. I’ve watched you…
jeon taehyung (tae)
How you carry yourself with such strength,
jeon taehyung (tae)
How you command the room.
It’s not something easily achieved.
Her eyes lifted just slightly, catching his gaze, and for the first time, she allowed a vulnerable little smile to play on her lips—a look that made her seem almost like a lost, helpless creature.
She bit her lip, as if unsure whether she should continue. It was all a careful act.
Jungkook watched her, taken aback by the sincerity in her voice.
His usual calm demeanor was starting to slip—she was speaking to a side of him he rarely allowed others to see.
There was something deeply magnetic about her presence, something that made him feel protective and drawn to her all at once.
jeon jungkook
I… I don’t deserve such praise,
Tae continued, her voice trembling slightly as if in hesitation.
She looked away, her eyes lowering to the ground, her expression becoming more vulnerable.
jeon taehyung (tae)
But there’s something I must ask…
jeon taehyung (tae)
Something that weighs heavily on my heart.
She paused, letting the tension build.
Jungkook took a step forward, concerned.
jeon jungkook
What is it, Tae? You can ask me anything.
Tae swallowed, gathering herself before speaking again, the words almost coming out like a hesitant sigh.
jeon taehyung (tae)
It’s the food, Your Majesty... The portions... they’re so small, and I—
She broke off, lowering her gaze again.
jeon taehyung (tae)
I don’t want to seem ungrateful, but I fear…
jeon taehyung (tae)
I fear I’ll be left weak,
jeon taehyung (tae)
Unable to serve you as I should.
Her words were soft, spoken almost like a vulnerable plea, as if she were on the verge of breaking down.
She slowly raised her eyes to meet his again, this time with a glimmer of something deeper—something calculating behind the mask of vulnerability.
She was in control now, but Jungkook didn’t know it yet.
Jungkook's chest tightened, a feeling of protectiveness sweeping over him.
His gaze flickered to the small tray of food still left in the garden, and then back to her, noting the slight tremor in her voice.
Something in him stirred. This wasn’t just a plea for food; it was something more—a silent cry for attention, for care.
His eyes darkened with concern.
jeon jungkook
You’ve been treated unfairly,
He said in a low voice, the weight of his words carrying his anger toward those who had neglected her.
He didn’t even realize he was speaking out of instinct, his emotions being tugged at by her delicate beauty and soft charm.
He stepped closer, closing the distance between them.
His voice was now commanding, as if he could no longer hold back the need to protect her.
jeon jungkook
From now on, no one will ever dare to treat you like this again. No one. I will make sure that whenever you wish for something—anything—no one will dare disobey.
His gaze darkened, eyes flashing with cold fury.
jeon jungkook
*They will die.*
Tae felt a rush of satisfaction inside her, though she kept her expression serene. She had him.
He was hers to control, to influence.
He had been so easily swayed by the fragile mask she had worn, and now she was in a position of power.
Jungkook turned toward one of the nearby guards who had been stationed nearby, his form rigid as he stood in the shadows.
Jungkook commanded, his voice firm,
jeon jungkook
From this day forward, whenever Lady Tae desires something to eat, you will make sure it is provided.
jeon jungkook
And I want it to be enough—more than enough. No one is to deny her. Is that understood?
The guard immediately bowed low, his voice trembling slightly as he responded,
guard
Yes, Your Majesty. It shall be done.
Jungkook turned back to Tae, his eyes softening as he regarded her with a mixture of admiration and something deeper, something darker that he didn’t fully understand yet.
jeon jungkook
You are a rare woman, Tae. Beautiful… intelligent... and you speak with such sincerity.
jeon jungkook
How could I not grant your request?
Tae let a slow, knowing smile curve her lips, the hint of victory hidden behind her delicate features.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling under the moonlight as she took a small step closer to him.
jeon taehyung (tae)
I am grateful, Your Majesty,
She said softly, her voice honeyed and sweet. Her eyes locked with his, her gaze unwavering.
jeon taehyung (tae)
I knew you would understand.
jeon taehyung (tae)
You’re the only one who truly sees me.
jeon taehyung (tae)
And for that, I will forever be in your debt.
Jungkook swallowed, his heart racing at the intensity of her words and the way she made him feel—like he was the only one in the world who could protect her, who could keep her safe.
Her beauty, her charm, her voice—it all wove together to make him feel powerful, but at the same time, utterly vulnerable to her influence.
He took a step toward her, unable to resist the magnetic pull she exuded.
jeon jungkook
There is no need for debts, Tae,
He murmured, his voice low and almost possessive.
jeon jungkook
You need only ask, and I will give.
Tae smiled inwardly, knowing that this was just the beginning.
Jungkook was under her spell, and now, with the first step of her plan complete, she would make sure he never saw her as anything less than the woman who had the power to control everything.
