I hate him. This isn't where I am supposed to be, beside him as his Queen. He took away everything that I held dear. My original home, the love of my life, my hopes and dreams, all snatched up and stolen just because he can't stand to not have what he wants, and this time around it was me. A cold hand snatches me out of my thoughts as I feel it wrap around my wrist. Immediately  I feel my body go rigid as I squeeze the armrest of the chair I am sitting in. I look down to where his thumb is placed to see it covering the small mark that represents the name of my soulmate,  Kim Namjoon, the one he murdered in order to have me fully. I was never able to even see his body one last time,  I don't even know his resting place. I quickly snatch my arm away before looking up at him, King Jung Hoseok of Korea. I make sure he can see clearly the utter disgust I have for him as I look into his eyes. He smirks before leaning over until he is in earshot. 

" You look much better when you smile dear, do me a favor, and don't let the party see that expression of yours okay?" He then tightens his hand around mines as I silently whimper at the pain beginning to shoot through it.

" I just might not let it slide this time." 

I look back up and around the room. During my moment of recollection, I completely forgot we were having dinner with some of the overseers and their families of one of the neighboring kingdoms. Hoseok turns back to talking to someone across the table before plastering on one of his fake smiles and taking a small sip of the red-colored wine in front of him. I hold in the tears I desperately want to let out as I slowly begin to eat again. No one knows what today was supposed to be. Only me and the one who I can not see any longer knew. Today was supposed to be the day I and Prince Kim Namjoon were to exchange vows privately to each other. Tomorrow marks the day of his death by the King, the very one I am sitting beside right now.  I don't realize how much my hand is shaking until  I feel my fork drop from my hand onto my plate, the sound echoing throughout the whole dining room. All heads turn to me, but there's one in particular that brings me to a full standstill.

" Excuse us," He says as he clears his throat. 

He gets up silently before walking towards the double doors of the room, my queue to follow him. I already can highly guess what will happen after I go behind those doors. I stand before bowing at the rest of the party, who are at the moment wearing questionable expressions. I hear them start to whisper as I begin walking. Hoseok stands in front of the doors as he waits to hear me behind him. From this view of his back, he doesn't look like the vicious King he really is. But I know that that is far from the truth.

Opening it and making sure no one can see, he quickly pulls me out the door into the hallway

Opening it and making sure no one can see, he quickly pulls me out the door into the hallway. He walks a few feet away from me as I stand motionless, awaiting his hurls. Turning back around, I see him begin to ball up his fist.

"  Are you not the Queen of the entire region of Korea? Have I not given you everything? What is-" 

" I had everything I wanted, " I say as I cut off his ridiculous questioning. I finally let the tears I have been holding since the moments I had to get ready for this whole occasion fall. His eyes grow wide as he scoffs under his breath. 

" Ungrateful! That's exactly what you are!" He yells out as he quickly walks up to me. Making sure he has a good hand full of my curls, he begins gripping my chin before pulling me until we are face to face. He lifts a finger to wipe a stray tear as he begins to chuckle.

" These are for him yes?" He asks as I feel pain from the way he is holding my face and hair. As I look into his eyes I can see nothing but pure evil. I have nothing to lose anymore, he made sure of that. So I make sure myself that I am ready inside to die today if I must as I prepare to tell him what I haven't told him before.

" They will always be for him. I will only love him. When he died he took my heart with him. These are his tears, I will never love you Hoseok," All color drops from his face as he releases me from his hold. 

" You may have the world, but you will never have me," I tell him with as much strength as I could muster up as I see him start to breathe heavily.

" Your Majesty." I finish off by saying. 

He raises his hand up in the air as I slowly close my eyes, ready for him to do what he has been doing for months behind these closed castle doors, but the hit never comes after a few seconds of waiting.

 A low gurgling sound then prompts me to open my eyes. Grabbing his throat, blood starts to trickle down his mouth as he startles back. My eyes grow wide as I stand there frozen. He lifts his arms to reach out to me before both of them grow limp, his body soon falling onto the marble floor. The sound of it echos against the wall as I bring a hand up to my mouth to stop the scream the wants to come out of it. Before I can process it all, I spot a figure coming from behind the curtains a few feet away, the darkness in that particular corner not allowing me to see his face yet. Everything in my body soon freezes as he comes closer into view. He is now directly under the moonlight that is currently coming through the long hallway window. There's a lot of things that have surprised me these past months, but this, this top all of them. He's not supposed to be here. He's supposed to have been killed by the other group of royal guards.

Taehyung.

" I  thought for a second he would never go down, hmm, " 

He says as he raises a half-full glass of wine to the air before smirking.

" Long live the king."  He looks up from Hoseok's lifeless body to me before smiling.

"Taehyung?" I ask as I feel my body start to shake. I thought Hoseok killed all of Namjoon's friends and clan. Tae was one of his closest ones, never leaving his side. Does this mean-

" Hi doll, it's been a while," He says cutting off my thoughts before stepping over the now-dead King of Korea to walk to me.

" I thought," I say out before black starts to surround my vision, the world begins to grow dark as I feel myself beginning to pass out. Before I do, I feel Tae catch me as I hear the name I have been longing to hear again.

" Namjoon is going to kill me when I deliver you to him passed out Your Highness." 

His laugh is the last thing I hear.
