Taehyung's POV
They called him sword master, because his blades were the finest in all the known kingdom and beyond its boarders.
That's what I have always heard and right now the metal on metal makes me smile wickedly at my opponent. The opponent snarls at me and lunges, I duck and roll to the side, away from his reach. I bolt upright and side-step around the opponent as I kick his knees in. He grunts and I smirked pulling the sword and landing it on his shoulder.
I look at him as he fell unconscious, wiping my sword I again tuck it down to the side. I look around to see the three Sankori men still fighting. I lock my eyes with Yoongi hyung who was standing a little away, he passes me a wolfish grin I nod and crouch down to inspect the unconscious man. I pat down his sides till I feel something thick in his cloak. I pull it out and found the soul reason of this fight.
I open the pouch to see if it was just as before and thankfully it was, still filled up to the brim of the pouch.
I kept the pouch in my pocket and turn around and see the group of robbers on to the dust either groaning in pain or unconscious. I nod at Yoongi hyung as we walk out together signaling the three soldiers to prison those robbers. The sun hits us as we step outside.
I stare out at the the part of Sankori as we walked through. I suddenly started missing my mom. I wish my mom was here to see how much father has changed. I wish she could help and explain some things to me which are hard for me to understand, to take care of me. I just wish there was someone who would take care of me, I wish I had someone to lean on like a life-partner.
"What is it?" Yoongi hyung asked nudging me.
I glance at him. His black curls falling onto his eyes that is something makes Jiminie and Hobi hyung go crazy about. He pushes it away and stares at me, waiting for me to speak. I sigh and look forward.
"I was just thinking about my mother" I mumbled quietly.
There was a good one minute silence before I spoke up again,
"It's nothing" I kick a pebble off the cobblestone path we were crossing.
"I just miss her, that's all"
"You are allowed to miss her Taehyung-ah. You don't need to pretend all the time" He says and I let out a chuckle, bitterly.
"That's all my life is hyung, it has been all about Pretending since mother left" I replied.
He exhales loudly before saying,
"Still, you have us and you don't need to be distant all the time. You don't have to act like nothing affects you. We all the know, all of us know damn well that you aren't cold-hearted for God's sake"
I look at him with an amused look and let out a small chuckle. He shook his head and smiles slightly as well.
"You know there is someone, somewhere for you. That will help you out of this whole pretending scenario. Someone who would help you for you and give you a shoulder to lean on. You just have to wait for the right person and right time" He said.
"But hyung, isn't love somewhat about falling in love with an unexpected person at an unexpected time?" I interjected.
"Well, you aren't wrong. Let's just see what the future unfolds for you but one thing I know is for sure that the person who would love you, will give you his all and the same goes for you" He hints.
"Don't tell me you and Jiminie tried looking into future again. That Magic Apprentice is invading my privacy" I said as I dramatically threw a hand over my heart, pretending to be hurt.
"Oh shut it you cheeky little brat" Hyung scolds and I laugh.
We both turn down the familiar street, into the heart of Sankori. I look down at the bustling streets and I can't help but notice the sadness on the people's faces. I really can't wait for my father to step down and the moment I take the throne, I promise all the citizens of Sankori will be free from this misery.
I steady my breathing and straightened up my spine. I can feel my abyss of power roaring under my skin, it needs to come out but it still isn't the right time. I felt Yoongi hyung's hand on my shoulder as he gives a gentle pat of comfort, letting me know that he knows what's in my mind and no matter what they, my hyungs will be here for me.
We will change this Kingdom for good and till then I need to pretend.
