New Enemy

Morning comes faster than what is expected, the powerful sunlight struck the earth, eradicating the darkness of the night. The sun's light wrapped the surface of the earth, giving warmth to all the living things.

Baekhyun woke up with a sore and numb body, it's like he was beaten half alive. He finally opened his eyes, and was welcomed with a tasteful and delightful smell, invading his nostrils, triggering his hunger.

"You're awake" the deep velvety baritone of Chanyeol echoed in the chamber, sending a shiver down to Baekhyun's spine. Making him more awake than ever.

Baekhyun averted his gaze towards the emperor who is sitting in the balcony.

"Y-yes, Imperial Majesty" Baekhyun replied before bowing his head. His stomach suddenly grumbled, craving for some tasty breakfast making him feel embarrassed.

"You should eat now" Chanyeol said coldly, without facing Baekhyun.

"Yes, Your Imperial Majesty".

Baekhyun limply went to the mini table beside the bed, before sitting down on the soft cotton pillow, so that his butt won't hurt. He stares at the variety of tasty looking recipes, before he starts digging in.

The food was super tasty, that every bite of it is a heaven for Baekhyun. He devoured all the food in no time, one after another, that's how hungry he is.

Ahh I'm so full Baekhyun thought to himself, when he finished his meal.

The servants then entered the chamber to collect the plates and also to clean the mini table. But Baekhyun stopped them from doing it.

"You don't have to do that, I can do it by myself" he protested.

"No. We can do it, just sit right here" Baekhyun frowned, he was weirded. Why does these servants suddenly treated him like high ranking person, when he's just also a servant here?

"Just let me do it. And also, I'm a servant too so it's ok".

"Don't be so stubborn, and just do what they said, peasant" Chanyeol's voice echoed through the chamber, making both Baekhyun and the servants shivers in fear. He immediately shuts his mouth, as he let the servants do their duty.

Chanyeol was sitting on his diamond throne, while reading on the scrolls where the taxes of the Eastrian citizens was written. He was happy that the empire he's ruling, is doing great, and all the citizens were now paying the high taxes properly. This is a good news for the empire, this means prosperity is living in their homeland.

The emperor stopped from reading and averted his gaze towards the tax collector, who is standing in front of him.

"Where is the tax paper of the Sapphire City, why is it not here?" Chanyeol asked the tax collector, sternly. He was wondering of why the leader of one of the most powerful city in the empire, which is the Sapphire City hasn't paying the tax yet.

"That's also what I am wondering about, imperial majesty. They haven't given their taxes yet" the tax collector explained.

The emperor was about to talk when the large door in the throne chamber, banged open, revealing a boy who is half alive.
