Mistress Kim

5. Ungrateful Slave

"God!!! What should we do to you Kim Taehyung!!!" King Lim shouting in anger.
Taehyung kneeling in front of the thorn where the King and the Queen sitting in very piss off expression.
After the break fast, Prince Jungkook told them that one of their servant, named Kim Taehyung just throw away his royal cloak and thus he lost the Euphoria precious diamond which happen to be on that cloak.
"How dare you did such a things to our guest Kim Taehyung!! You ungrateful boy!" The king was very angry yet he didnt plan to throw a hand in front of the young prince to keep his reputation.
"Please forgie me - for my.."
"Shut up!" The king snapped! Cutting the poor boy.
"Guard, take this bastard to the jail and give him 100 whipped for his careless manner!"
Taehyung eyes widenen, he will surely dead by 70 whipped.
"No ... forgive me Your Highness ... pleasee ..." a tears streams down his face in terrified. Two bulky guard walk to the poor boy, but before he could reach Taehyung, Jungkook stop them.
"Your Highness ... might i said something? At the end it was my diamond which went missing" asked Jungkook politely.
"My apologize for my rushing decision Prince Jungkook, please rise your opinion" King Kim said.
"Thank you." Jungkook glance at Taehyung who is wiping his tears cutely.
"Since Kim Taehyung lost the Euphoria's precious diamond, i would request to bring him to our kingdom for proper punishment" Jungkook declare firmly.
All the people in the hall gasped.
The king is frowning, processing the young prince proposal.
The queen is exchanging confuse glance with the princess.
Namjoon maybe is the most confuse one after all, because he surely doesnt have any idea of what the hell is the 'Euphoria's precious diamond' that Jungkook is talking about. He almost 100% believe that he never heard such a thing even exist, let alone missing? And who is this poor boy accused for loosing it? And bring him back to their kingdom for what? The young prince must be playing something dirty.
"But what will you do with him?" The King finally asked, breaking the silent.
"That would be my business, but i am guarantee he will get what he deserve, far far more suitable for him rather than what he will receive here."
The hall comes to silent again, only a small sob from Taehyung that can be heard.
King Lim caressing his jaw wondering what is in the young man head. Surely he didnt care with loosing one servant, but he just wondering what will happen to the boy which is worst than 100 whipped.
"Father, if i may say something, i think we should let Prince Jungkook bring Taehyung to the Euphoria Kingdom, because its our people who is in fault, and it his right to decide the punishment for the servant. Im sure we must kept our reputation well" Sana commented.
"Ah, for that.... i also have one condition" Jungkook interrupt.
"And what is that one condition?" The king asked curious, he step down from his thorn approaching Jungkook and Taehyung in the middle of the hall.
"Lets not spread the news around, that might impacting our reputation. We surely dont want to hear people started rumor that a servant from Narita Kingdom stole the precious diamond of Euphoria' Kingdom-"
"But i didnt stole it-" Taehyung unintentionally cut off the prince in his defends.
"SHUT UP you slave!" And with that the king send a hard slap on the poor boy face that send him stumble on the marble floor.
Jungkook was taken a back for a second, but hold himself not to punch the old man in front of him.
"YOU UNGRATEFUL SLAVE! After you stole the prince diamond, you still have audacity to tell lie!" A hard kick hit Taehyung stomach resulting him whimper in pain.
"King Lim, ..." Jungkook hold the old man arms in attempt to stop the assault. But the king only stop after another two kicks on Taehyung body.
Namjoon being alert in his ground, being ready if the prince will be engage in any physical contact. But what he didn't understand is that the young prince was grething his teeth to hold his anger.
King Lim straighten his position, facing the young prince in front of him.
"So what is your plan?" He asked
"Well let say, no one should know about this incident. I will just take him with me and end of the story. We are recruiting many new servant everyday back in Euphoria anyway. So one additional servant wont bother." Jungkook explained calmly.
The king nodded in understanding after few second of thought. He rise his hand and Jungkook shake it in agreement.
"Take this slave with you and i give a full authority of his life to you"

***

The sun shine brightly rather hot. The royal trope have been leaving the palace for a while now. Jungkook and Namjoon sitting inside the royal carriage.
Assigned guard from Narita kingdom already left the trope once the pass the border. They are now marching in the green savanna between the two kingdom. A save place.
A few knight of Euphoria kingdom guarding in the front and back of the carriage. Another wooden carriage pulled by horse in the back of the trope, bringing some goods from Narita Kingdom and the Prince baggage.
Taehyung was walking alone near that wooden carriage. Everyone was on the horse and the poor hostage was trying his best to catch up with the fortunately slow pace of the trope.

"Stop!" Jungkook orders, and the trope immediately come to halt.
One knight approached the Prince carriage, asking for order.
"Bring me that slave.." Jungkook paused.
"...nicely"
The man bow his head and retread.
"Jungkook, i think its the time to explain what with all this havoc you created?" Namjoon demanded.
Jungkook just smirked. He take out the water bottle from his side.
Soon the knock heard from the carriage door, and the young prince immediately open the door.
There stand an exhausted Taehyung with messy hair pale face, and dirty clothes from all the walking. Yet, he still look so beautifully unreal.
"Get in!" Jungkook shift a little in his seat, as the man slowly push the confused boy into the carriage.
Once he get in into the carriage, the poor boy scrunched down on the floor between confuse Namjoon and excited Jungkook.
The young prince quickly untied the silk ribbon on Taehyung wrist.
"Im sorry ...." he said looking at the small wrist on his hand. Taehyung look at him confuse.
"Here, drink..." Jungkook give the water bottle and Taehyung quickly accept it because hell he is super thirsty.
"Jungkook?" Namjoon widening his eyes, as he knew that the younger hate to share his bottle water with anyone. But the young prince didnt care.
He is busy holding the water bottle for Taehyung whose gladly gulp all the water.
"Hhh... " Taehyung took a long breath after his thirst gone.
"Tha— thank you ..." he shutters, bowing his head, but Jungkook quickly cup the elder face with his both hand, making him looking up to the young prince whose now leaning down to him.
"Is it hurt?" Jungkook asked, his thumb caressing Taehyung left cheek. The later nodded a little.
"Im sorry.., i am not expecting that he will hit you?" Jungkook bite his lips feels the guilt. Eyes stare directly to the confuse boy in front of him.
"Prince Jungkook, what with all of this?" Namjon asked.
"Namjoon-ah ... ask the trope to start the march." Jungkook order without averting his gaze from Taehyung's eyes.
"From now on, i promise i will protect you ..."
