KINGDOM || MINJOONG

chapter five

Hongjoong's pov.

I woke up trough the voices which were heard.
I shook my head and I got a headache.

The door opened and my father stood there.

„Ah Yeo is here. I searched in the whole castle for him."
Yeo still slept and I rolled my eyes.

„What do you want here?"
„As I said I searched for him."

He woke Yeo up and went with him out of my room.
I could clearly hear that he shouted at him and I got mad, he shouldn't treat my brother like that.

I stood up and called for my maid.
I told her that I want to take a bath and she went away.

I went into the bathroom and sat into the bathtub.
I enjoyed the hot water and closed my eyes.

„I don't want to disturb you but you got another letter."
I opened my eyes and looked at my maid.

She gave me the letter and I immediately recognized the font, it was the same from the letter I got before.

And the person wrote again.

- we we'll meet us soon.

My heart raced. It was exciting but somehow it was creepy.

I went out of the bathtub and put my clothes on.
I ran in my bedroom and locked the door.

I was too nervous about the writer.

Do I know him?

I wasn't sure what I should do.

It knocked on the door and I opened the door.

„Uhm hello, I'm sorry for disturbing you but you should come with us to search for the pirates." I nodded and grabbed my sword.

I walked with some soldiers trough the village and searched for people who aren't from our kingdom.
People were scared when they saw us with the swords especially the kids.

I don't want to scare these people but I need to kill pirates like my father wants it.
I don't want to kill someone.

Who knows if the pirates have kids or families.
People are detestable when they want that people kill each other.

I won't fight just when there isn't another option.

„excuse me your grace but isn't it obvious that these people won't say anything because they are scared that they also would get killed?"
I rolled my eyes and put my sword on his neck.

„I'm the crown prince and it's my decision if we kill people or not ok?!" He nodded and I walked away.

I hated it when soldiers thought that they're better just because they get instructions to kill people or something else.

„yah don't run away! He stole bread!"
I rolled my eyes and ran toward the woman.

„what happened?"
„a man stole some bread and we're also don't have a lot because the harvest wasn't that good to make a lot of bread, your majesty."
I nodded and ran into the direction in which the man walked.

I walked to the beach and there I saw two men arguing about something.

„Hello?" The looked at me and their eyes widened.
They saw that I had a sword and they wanted to run away.
„Why do you want to run away? Did I said something wrong?"

They shook their head and came closer.

„We thought you want to kill us." the taller one said and I laughed.
„I hate it to kill." Their eyes widened and they nodded.

„You were the ones who stole the bread from a woman?" They nodded and I shook my head.

„I don't want that people steal especially not when I'm in the near." I sighed and they looked at the ground.

„You must be rich if you can say that so easy."
I clenched my fists and sighed to calm down.

I don't like it to have more privileges than others just because I'm the crown prince.
