Lie (PJM x reader)

Chapter One

The king is dead.

This is the statement that greeted the people of Grogia a chilly morning.

Apparently, he was murdered in cold blood. Everyone believed the assassin that killed him was from the Kingdom that has been at war with Grogia for a long time. The king was trying to bring peace but obviously they didn't want it.

They mourned him for two weeks for he was their beloved king. He treated his people with so much kindness and love. It was as if he kept a friendship between his people and himself.

Whenever he organized balls, he always invited everyone. No matter how poor you were, you will always have a chance to mingle with the rich even if it was for just one night.

The queen died the night the prince was born, making the castle seem lonely. That is one of the reasons why he allowed commoners in the palace on multiple occasions.

The kingdom was in shock on hearing the sad news of the passing away of their beloved queen, but tried to keep their king happy all the same.

Though the king seemed to be happy on the outside, he was completely shattered on the inside.

He swore to never remarry, and to raise his son the way his late mother would have.

The little boy was a happy little kid, and soon became a blessing to his kingdom. The young boy and his dad became an unstoppable duo.

Even as the years past, and the little boy became not so little anymore, the bond between him and his dad remained strong. They were inseparable.

Until death did them part.

The death of the king had an effect on the kingdom, but it took a toll on Jimin. His dad was his everything, his mom, his best friend, his partner in crime.

But the young man witnessed his father being murdered. If the kingdom was sad, he was traumatized! And his sadness and grief, slowly turned to anger and hatred.

He wanted nothing but to have revenge on their rival kingdom. He was sure it was their fault. They killed him.

He no longer saw a reason to keep the kingdom happy, when he was suffering himself. So he did everything in his power to make the kingdom suffer.

He increased the tax day by day, constantly sent their soldiers to war and punished any citizen mercilessly that refused to follow his rules.

And the craziest part was that he wasn't even officially the king. His Coronation was a month away.

"Why are you so worried when you are not the one paying the taxes?" The young male asked his younger sister. They were currently walking back to their little home after a long day on the farm. He glanced at his younger sister's worried expression and rolled his big doe eyes.

"Yeah, I am aware of that Jungkook. But don't you think it's unfair that he always raises the tax. I mean, what is he gaining from doing all this?" Y/n asked her older brother as she opened the front door.

The farm was the only thing their parents left them before they died. Y/n and Jungkook were left alone in this world to fend for themselves, but they had each other, that is what is important. The crops which were grown on the farm were the only things that allowed them to cope with the harsh reality of Grogia. But it seemed like their yield was diminishing.

That's why she was worried.

They stepped inside the small house after taking off their shoes and walked straight to the kitchen to get something to eat. Y/n grabbed an apple and was about to take a bite when Jungkook took a big bite from the other side.
