Waking up from a sweet night sleep Taehyung felt much refreshed. He slowly raised into a sitting position and let out an unsatisfactory moan. The end of his spinal cord was aching a bit although it rekindled the last night memories with his alpha mate. He smiled to himself, just imagining him touching and kissing him like that made his heart race.

  His shy smile converted into a small pout thereafter. He found the other side of the bed empty. He knew his mate would try to avoid him again like he was doing since the day they met—at least they met—but he expected something more. Their relationship was far from the progress. Even though their souls were brought closer by destiny, their hearts were still not connected.

  "Euri." He asked and repeated it louder.

  The answer came within a minute, "Prince! Should I bring your breakfast now?" Euri opened the door hesitantly and came near him. Witnessing at his master's disheveled clothes and dark red hickeys over his neck, she lowered her head.

  Taehyung stared at his servant for a moment, fully aware of himself, but didn't bother to hide his unkempt self. He asked, "Where is prince Jeon?"

  "He left just a moment ago. Prince Namjoon was asking for him." Euri replied.

  "Oh, maybe because they're going to visit the goldmine." Taehyung sighed deeply. He wished he could also go out like him but palace rules were cruel to him; he'd lost his independence to go wherever he wanted.

  "Prince, the king has summoned you. He told you to see him in his room." Euri informed him. Her voice was shaky, concerned.

  "Oh! Right now?" Taehyung frowned as he asked. She gave him a nod.

  He knew the reason. The king wasn't a fond father who'd like to see his 'omega' son on the first morning other than solving some court matters. Definitely he'd found a solid reason to scold him or give a free lesson to tame his Intractable son.

  Taehyung actually wasn't willing to talk with anyone at that moment, he wanted to roam a little bit more into his own bubble of thoughts—the moments he spent with his mate were worth cheering. But also he couldn't just reject the king's order, where he'd dared to break the palace rules by seducing a man and having sex with him before marriage.

  "Do you like to eat something before going there?" Euri asked, looking at him.

  "No. Just bring me some nice clothes. White high neck shirt would be better." Taehyung told her, after she left for his closet. A heavy sigh released emptying his chest. He couldn't undo what he had done willingly, he could only prepare his excuses now.

  Shaking the last traces of anxiousness he ordered the king's guard to open the door. Inside the king's private room he wasn't expecting his mother to be there. The queen always kept herself busy with palace ladies and her dozens of maids. If the king had called her too then there was so much to worry about.

  "Dad, you've called me?" Taehyung asked, when he stood straight in the middle of the huge living room. Just as he thought, the king marched at him with a displeased frown like he was approaching an enemy in the battlefield, but only his sword was missing.

  "How can you be so headless? How can you as a prince try to go against the king's directive?" Taejoo growled, pointing at him. "You know it very well princes are not allowed to get into sexual activities before marriage here. And you were supposed to obey it."

  Taehyung didn't look away, nor flinched. He didn't even try to raise an objection to his father, because he knew the alpha's strong scents were still over his body, he was smelling so much like him. "I just did what I had been told by his majesty. You told me to fulfill your guest's every demand." Said Taehyung.
