: There's mentioned of unwanted touching in this chapter. So please do not read if this can be triggering. That's the last thing I would ever want to do.

Also there's mention of physical abuse as well.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Y/N remained frozen. Wook looked over her shoulder to the noise that was behind her.

"Sorry to interrupt my brother but I need my handmaid now."

Won. It was Prince Won that was behind her. She slowly turned her head.

Prince Won stood there with his arms crossed staring at her and Prince Wook.

Y/N's eyes widened slightly. "P-Prince Won." She stuttered out before she bowed to him.

"Tsk. Tsk. Myung Hee, I leave you to be for a little bit and you're fooling around with my dear brother. Now if word got out, how do you think the reaction will be?" He smirked.

Y/N froze once again. The colour draining from her face.

"Won. That will not be necessary. You do not want to make an enemy out of me. Leave Myung Hee alone. She has nothing to do with this." Prince Wook told him firmly.

Won smiled. "Oh but, dear brother, she has everything to do with this."

Wook stepped forward. "Won I'm warning you one last time not to do what you're thinking of."

Won laughed. "Relax. I won't say anything. It was nice to see you get all riled up though. For someone who hardly shows emotion, you definitely showed some there."

Wook frowned slightly. Y/N finally looked up at the scene in front of her.

Won was still staring at them but, Wook was now slightly in front of her.

"I was serious though my brother, I need her." Won said as he stepped forward.

He grabbed Y/N's arm and started to drag her away.

Wook gently grabbed her other arm. "Where are you going with her?" He asked Won.

Won turned to look at him. "That is none of your concern. She's not your handmaiden now is she?" He told Wook as he dragged her away.

Y/N looked back at Wook and gave him a soft smile. Trying to hopefully put his mind at ease a bit.

Won and Y/N walked for sometime before he dragged her into a room.

"I need you to help entertain some guests with some other handmaidens. There's clothes right there. Change. Then come out." He told her as he left the room.

Y/N sighed.

She didn't know who these "guests" were but she did not have a good feeling in her stomach. She slowly walked towards the clothes that were laid out.

She wordlessly changed into them. She didn't have the will to fight anymore. She knew that nothing good would come out of it.

At least Won had the decency to leave the room before she changed.

She slowly opened the door. Won was stood there waiting for her. He carefully looked her over.

She had on a simple hanbok that revealed a little more than it should. The colour stood out the most. A deep red and blue.

Some other hand maidens applied some makeup to Y/N's face.

Won smiled. "Perfect. They'll love you." He told her.

Y/N grimaced as she silently followed Prince Won.

The walk to the room didn't seem long enough for Y/N. As she stepped into the room she took a deep breath. "You'll be okay. Just get through this." She thought to herself.

All she had to do was make it through the evening.

It was a lot easier said than done.

As she stepped into the room all eyes turned towards the door.

"Gentlemen. Sorry for the wait but I've brought another one of my hand maidens to serve you beverages while we have a discussion." Prince Won said.

The men smirked. Y/N could tell from the look in their eyes that it wasn't all that she was there for.

Y/N looked over at the other girls. They all looked scared.

She stepped into the room. As she walked over to the tray that had the tea she could feel all the eyes on her.

She shivered but tried to ignore it as she walked towards the other girls.

She picked up a tray. Looking over at Won who nodded his head all the girls started towards the men.

Y/N walked over to one of the men and started to make the tea.

Surprisingly for the first little bit it was bearable.

The men kept on discussing things with the prince, not really paying attention to the girls.

Y/N let out a small breath of relief. As she was pouring another glass of tea she felt a hand touch the small of her back.

Y/N froze. She slowly looked up and around at the other girls. She could tell that they were in uncomfortable positions as well.

Y/N then looked over at Prince Won to see if he noticed anything. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw that he was smirking.

Anger soon grew inside of her. She already knew this was the whole purpose of the girls being there, but she didn't want to believe it.

She wanted to believe that Prince Won had at least some humanity left in him.

She had been horribly wrong.

As the hand continued to move lower against her back her anger grew more.

As she was pouring the hot water she stumbled a bit and poured the hot water in the guys lap.

The man gasped in pain as the scolding water hit his lap. "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry." Y/N said in a monotone voice.

The man growled as Y/N gave him an feigned smile.

"Myung Hee!" Prince Won's voice boomed making everyone in the room jump.

Prince Won stood up. "I'm sorry gentlemen. It seems this needs to be cut short. It looks like I need to remind my servant on how she needs to behave."

He looked over at the other girls and they all left the room quickly. Y/N sighed in relief as she watched the other girls leave.

Soon after the girls left the men left as well.

Prince Won grabbed Y/N's arm and dragged her out of the room and into the night sky.

As Y/N was being dragged she tripped over a stone and fell. Won turned around and harshly grabbed her face.

"Do you have any idea of what you've just done?" He asked her harshly.

"I just saved a bunch of girls from disgusting men like you." She replied harshly.

Won growled as he squeezed harder on her face. Y/N whimpered softly at the pain.

Won then grabbed her again and continued walking. "You need to be taught a lesson. No servant disobeys there ruler, and gets away with it."

Won led her down to the pond. Y/N's eyes widened. She wasn't the greatest swimmer.

Won threw her into the water. Y/N immediately gasped at the coldness of the water. As she looked up at Won she could tell that this was not going to end well.

Won got into the water as well. He walked towards her. Y/N slowly crawled back away from him

"P-Prince Won don't do this." She told him.

Won glared at her as he grabbed the back of her head. "I'll teach you not to disobey me."

He told her as he forced her head down into the water. After a couple seconds he brought her head back up again.

She immediately drew in a breath and grabbed at his hands that were holding her head.

She coughed as she tried to breath.

As she tried to pull Won's hands away from her head she heard laughter.

Her eyes widened.

"Hel-hmph"

Won covered her mouth. "Don't even try." He growled.

Y/N watched the group pass by the pond. Her eyes widened again when she saw who it was.

Baek Ah, WooHee, Hae Soo and So.

Y/N thrashed against Won. Trying make as much noise as possible. Her efforts were all in vain though as the all just passed by.

Tears came to her eyes. Defeat slowly started to creep up on her. "This is how I'm going to die." She thought to herself.

Y/N could feel Won's grip lesson on her a bit.

"Hey guys! Wait up for us!"

Y/N's eyes widened again. Jung. She knew it was his voice.

She got one more burst of energy through her body. She lurched forward putting her entire body weight forward.

Which surprised Won. The grip on her hair slipped. She slipped right out and immediately crawled forward away from him in the water.

She splashed and screamed. "Jung! Please please hear me! Jung help!"

As she looked back she could see Won running towards her. She immediately stood up and started to run.

She could feel the tears running down her face as she tried to get out of the freezing water. "Jung!" She screamed again.

Won eventually caught up to her. "I told you to stay quiet." He growled.
