Who’s there?

I felt some sort of panicked chill race straight all over my body but somehow I gathered some courage enough to plead. "Please, Your Highness, the wedding is still two hours away and I'm not ready.." I plead while crying but then more profusely when I realized that this hands isn't that of the Empress.

Although the Empress hands were a bit rough, you'd know a female hand and this hands that's caressing me, they aren't that of a female but that of a male human.

"Please." I pleaded but the hand still didn't let me go, instead the unknown person pulled my nightgown fully up and slowly as if teasing me .. he uses his pinky finger, moving too slowly towards my thigh then he touches the edge of my under pant. I let out a wail, thrusting my body everywhere in order for the hand not to be able to touch me again.

"Please.. Please, I beg you don't rape me!." I yelled in panic as I thrust, still avoiding the intruder's hand but not the one still covering my eyes so i won't see.

"The Empress has a lot of things, if you let me go ..I promise I will get some fooorr youuuu...uu." I said the last part blurrily because the man used his other hand that is not covering my eyes to cover my mouth in anger.

"Shut up! Don't you dare mention her. You're a devil, you bewitched her! We're going to make her see the light and then behead you in presence of the people. This is what a witch like you deserves." The intruder yelled, he whispered the last part to my ears and this made me stop thrusting but now fighting profusely with my hands and as the man's hand is occupied with my face and mouth, i was able to land him a few slaps everywhere my hand could meet ..which seems to have taken the intruder by surprise.

He suddenly removed his hands from my mouth and eyes and stood up in shock before leaving the room in a hurry.

I rushed outside in a panicked state and stopped at the doormat startled because I found the guards assigned to protect me still at their post also looking as if nothing happened when someone just broke into my room and molested me.

"I could have been killed for god sake but here they are looking and behaving as if someone didn't just come in and do ..did ..almost but still gave me a heart attack."

"Miss Kim Nana, is there anything you need us to do for you?" Min Yonghwan, the assigned Chief guard walked up to me and asked but i didn't reply, instead i turned to him and looked at him and his follow other guards in the eyes suspiciously before turning back to another side and started murmuring to myself still in shock.

"Was it the Empress?" I asked but immediately the thought crossed my mind I knew it couldn't have been her. If it's her, she wouldn't have covered my mouth or eyes and besides she can have me without going to so much trouble as to covering my mouth and running away later on and there's no way she sounds like that, that's a man's voice and hands. I'm positive.

"But then who is it? ..who could enter and walk out freely like that?" I mused and then yelled in freight.

"Oh my god! Did they bring me here to kill me!" I asked out loud before raising my long night wear which is touching the floor so it won't and start walking to the Royal mother chamber to make a complaint.

Three inches away from the Royal mother chamber ..i hear a very familiar voice yelling which made me move slowly to the door and place my ear on the keyhole so I'll be able to hear their conversations clearly.
