Everyone returned to the palace. Some knights were wounded but nothing serious to theirs lives.

General : Where did you go, your highness?
Taehyung : Where would I go? I was here in the palace only
Taehoon : Cut the crap! Everyone already knows you didnt return to the palace.

Taehyung's eyes widened in shock.

Taehyung : Everyone knows? Even the king?

??? : Ofcourse he knows.

Someone said and marched towards Taehyung  which made him panic and go backward.

Taehyung : Wait! Wait!Gran......Ahh!!!

Yes it was Taehyung's grandma who is now grabbing Tae by his ear.

Grandma : Where did you go, you brat?
Tae : Grandma...let me explainnnnn!!!! Ahh!!!

Grandma twisted his ears which made him shout out in pain.

Taehoon : You deserve it! Dont leave him grandma!
Taehyung : Hyung? You too?
Taehoon : You should tell us atleast, If you are going out somewhere. We can cover up for you. But today because of you leaving the palace , everyone is in problem.

Suddenly they heard someone clearing the throat.

Grandma released her hands from Tae's ears, which made him stand straight and look at the person infront. Yes! It was the king. He came with his ministers.

Everyone bowed to him. Taehyung too.

King walked ahead and everyone followed him without even looking up. Everyone was talking in actions behind King's back to plan something to save Taehyung.

King knew everyone is trying to save Taehyung. King smiled internally thinking how everyone adores his son but showed angry face outside.

King went into the palace main hall and sat on his throne.

General came forward and reported him about the fight which happened earlier.

Then the chief minister came forward and said about their plan to get the thieves who entered the country illegally.

King nodded to everythig and said.

King : Is there anything else to say?

Everyone stayed silent. Everyone knew what he was expecting.

Taehyung came in front and said.

Taehyung : I went out of the palace without permission. Fogive me,highness!
King : Forgiveness is for mistakes which happen coincidentally, not for mistakes done intentionally.

Taehyung bowed and apologized again.

Taehyung : I will not repeat this again. I promise

He smiled innocently at the king. His smile is enough to persuade the king. But only king knows this. He never let anyone know his sons are his weakness. He pretended to be a strict father but in reality loved his sons beyond earth and moon.

King : Everyone leave the hall!

Everyone started leaving. Taehyung too.

King : You stay there, Prince Taehyung!

Everyone looked Taehyung apologetically and left.

King : Do you really feel guilty of what you did?
Taehyung : *nodded*
King : Then prove me!

Taehyung sighed and went on his knees.

King smirked in victory as Taehyung never liked to go on knees since childhood. Its a father-son thing, even though he is the king , he would kneel infront of his son when he did some mistake. The king has kneeled infront of him few times when tae was kid to pacify him. But Taehyung never went on his knees even as a kid, he was that adamant as a kid. He hates it.
