Punctured as Punishment

Everyone gathered around, surrounding the king as he presented himself on the throne in the royal courtroom. Shala stood next to Ji Hoon on the left side with half of the counselors, while Young Ji and Imamu took their positions on the right with the other counselors. They stared expectantly at the king, who twirled a piece of his peppered hair as if deep in thought. Heewon sat by his side; it had been a while since a consort other than Shala was invited to the court. She seemed nervous, curious as to why she had been invited to sit in on politics.

“I have been thinking...” the king started. “My queen...” He stopped and turned. “First, I must let you know that I need to change our sons’ positions... the crown prince title must go to someone else.”

Heewon stood up, startled, and faced him with a bewildered expression. “My king... my king! What are you saying!? You have a completely healthy crown prince—”

“Queen Heewon, mind your manners in front of the court.” She hesitated to speak further and sat down. “Your position will not change... do not worry.”

“Do not worry...” she scoffed.

The king addressed the court, “No matter if you think he is capable... the crown prince title can never go to Young Ji.”

Shala gritted her teeth and nearly stepped forward before Ji Hoon grabbed her back. The king turned towards the queen again. “I have brought you here to bring you some news. Sejun was killed in an accident on his way back from Umanke.”

The queen’s sudden chuckle turned into a laugh which resounded through the silent courtroom, only to suddenly start screaming at the top of her lungs, immediately drowning in her tears. The counselors bowed in terror while the king sighed over her screams. “My queen! Please!” She stopped screaming and went down to her knees in front of King Baekwon. “Tell me it isn’t so! Please! This is merely a fib! A farce!” Baekwon stared at her piteously as she broke down, sobbing in response to his silence.

Unmoved, Baekwon chuckled, “I thought you feared your son...” He raised an eyebrow, and the queen stopped crying as if on command. She looked up with bewilderment, as if her secrets had been unfolded, then suddenly stood up and turned towards the court, most of whom still remained bowing. She desperately pointed to Shala. It was clear she was trying to divert the conversation.

“You! I’m sure you did it! Weren’t you all in one carriage!? How else did he possibly die!?”

Shala narrowed her eyes, coming to the middle of the room and bowing. “I assure you I was not the one who took your son’s life.” In the end.

Heewon’s eyes widened in alarm, as if startled by something unexpected, and Shala raised an eyebrow as she watched Baekwon take on the same expression. As she turned around, a chilling sensation washed over her, goosebumps rising on her skin. Moments later, a knife mercilessly pierced her stomach, leaving her gasping as it pushed further inside.
