Third Person's POV
War.
A three lettered word that meant so much, yet so little.
For many it was just an idea, it was a simple fight between those who tried to bring peace and those who tried to destroy it, a simple chase between those who had nothing to eat and those who had too much.
For him, the war was the tears shed for loved ones that were lost, the regret that washed over your consciousness when one realized that there were so many innocent people that should have been alive in 'his' place. It was pain, hence they weren't going for one. War bought him nothing but tears and pain.
Pain was not easy. People tend to ignore the heaviness that settled in their souls, they refused to treat that small cut on their finger because it was not important, just an inconvenience, they neglected themselves throwing everything in a pile in the corner of their minds.
And he knew what war looked like. Despite being just 24, he was already in a life long war against his father.
He had so many people die on him that he lost count. There was nothing that he could have done for them but maybe now getting his father out of power would finally bring the lost ones peace to their souls. It wasn't revenge, it was just the time where the king had done enough, it was time for him to pay for all the lost souls and the people of Sankori.
Taehyung couldn't forgive himself after his mother, but he was a survivor and he can't lose now, not when so many people depended on him.
"Taehyungie, you need a break" Taehyung heard Jungkook as he walked closer, back hugging him.
"I don't have to take a break. I am fine, sweetheart" He placed his hands on Jungkook's, which rested on his stomach.
"My love, put that down. Dinner will be ready in a few seconds" Jungkook added as he prepped a few kisses on Taehyung's shoulder.
"We cannot afford a sick warrior, right" Jungkook mumbled and Taehyung now turned to look at him.
"I will not get sick. I am as healthy as I could be" Taehyung concluded as he sat down at the table near them.
It was peaceful, having dinner together was their way of healing. Small talk, jokes, important matters were all discussed without having to keep up an appearance.
"Everything is done, we will be on guard at midnight" The king of Zemira, Jeon Jaewon said as a matter of fact, after they finished eating.
Taehyung nodded before thanking him again,
"You don't need to thank me everytime Taehyung"
"Still, you are doing a lot for us" It was Namjoon.
The king just shrugged and waved his hand in dismissal with a soft smile.
"The minute I got a notice of the happenings in Sankori, I couldn't help but agree and sending Jungkookie here was to check how bad the situation is and bub you did a great job. We needed to form an alliance anyways and it couldn't have been a better opportunity than this one, that man needs to be dethroned"
Jungkook beamed at the compliment from his hyung.
"The moment Beomgyu got me the report back, I announced the tour from Zemira to Sankori, disguised as a commoner. You all took very good care of my bub and I need to thank you all for that"
"No no, your Majesty, it was our pleasure having Prince Jungkook here" Jin voiced out.
There was no meeting regarding the foreign exchange policy between Sankori and Zemira to begin with. It was all a set-up so that Jungkook, Beomgyu, Yeonjun, Jisoo and Roseanne could analyze the situation at Sankori so that Zemira can bring the needed help. Back when Beomgyu left along with Jisoo and Rosanne, that was to bring the reports Jungkook collected from Sankori.
Certainly, Jungkook and Taehyung crossing paths at times wasn't just a coincidence.
❃.✮:▹ ◃:✮.❃
After the dinner and a bit of discussion, they all went to their own chambers to get an hour's rest before they could depart their ways to the palace. Jungkook walked towards Taehyung who was in front of him and let himself sit on his lap.
"I want you to be safe" Jungkook whispered in his ear.
"I will be safe darling, I have gotta come back to you after all" Jungkook's fingers trailed on his face. For the first time in years, he felt small, he was afraid for Taehyung.
"I will be back in no time my love, trust me?" Taehyung said and Jungkook nodded, immediately and Taehyung lips met his, in a shy way.
"I will always be here for you, Jungkookie. If that is what you want" Taehyung whispered in the night.
❃.✮:▹ ◃:✮.❃
Lurking in the shadows, there were six men making their way inside the palace with hushed movements. The royal palace was dead silent, Taehyung leading the rest five to the royal chambers as they hid behind pillars.
Namjoon to the right, slid his sword silently to a guard guiding the stairs to the royal chambers, Yoongi caught the body and slid it silently to a far corner, Taehyung signaled again and they moved forward again.
Moving up the stairs with hushed movements yet again, Taehyung hid behind a pillar again as his gaze fell on two royal guards, walking in the corridor. Taehyung looked back at Hoseok and signaled him to take a right and he took the left one himself.
Two more guards down.
Taehyung came face to face with the huge wooden door, he forced it open and there he was, his father, drinking away. His eyes blurry as he looked at the six figures, finding it hard to identify in that drunken state. Nevertheless, he stood up stumbling.
"Who's thewe?" He slurred and Taehyung looked behind him to see Jaewon shaking his head in disappointment.
He signaled Taehyung to move forward and he did, Taehyung moved forward, Hoseok followed suit, going behind the king of Sankori and twisted his hand.
"Hello father! Time's up" Taehyung smiled with absolute no expression on his face.
The king of Sankori was taken as a prisoner as the 'king' was now dethroned, ending years and years of suffering.
"Let's prepare your coronation, Taehyung" Jaewon patted Taehyung's shoulder and Taehyung thanked him yet again.
"Say what, should we get you married on the coronation as well?" Taehyung blushed at that. ___________________________________ See you all in the next chapter.
