Mission: Long Live The King [II]

This has to be one of the longest chapters in this book- if not the longest! It has over 5k words, hopefully it's not too long.

Ineffable - Incapable of being expressed in words.

The King was at his office, like usual. Planning for Kim Minjun's execution with a cheeky grin on his face. He was even happier because the royal family of the Heart Kingdom decided to leave earlier than usual. Tomorrow.

For the last time, or at least the King thought it was the last time. He began to walk towards his infamous spell book and carelessly pulled it out of the top shelve.

He raised an eyebrow when he didn't see the familiar white envelope at the very back, and began to take out all the other books around it. The King groaned and threw them all down at the floor. 

He couldn't complete the black feather spell without that damn envelope. And he let out a series of mutters as he quickly searched for more of those letters.

He soon found some of the other, mild ones he wrote. But that specific envelope included the most horrible ones. But the King needed to make it work.

His anger slowly, but surely died down and he regained himself. The King sat down with his spell book on his chair, but this time he skipped the chapter about the black feather and instead went to the very end of the book. And at the bottom corner of the very last page, four numbers were written.

0 9 1 3

The King scoffed, of course he used this as the passcode.

Months back when Seonhu first brought him the black feather, the king had kept it securely hidden in a safe. And it can only be unlocked by a specific four number code. But the king had forgotten those four numbers and needed a reminder.

Too bad, Seonhu had to leave soon after.

He quickly locked his door and put down the curtains on his large window. No one could see this.

He then walked towards a certain part of his large array of bookshelves, and took out the first five books he saw in that specific section

Later on a small lock was visible behind the large books, and that's when the King entered in those four numbers and unlocked the rectangular safe.

He then smiled in relief when his hands came across the exquisite black feather, at least his main ingredient wasn't lost.

And as long as that little pest Minjun couldn't get his hands on this feather, everything would be alright.

It was only a matter of days until the Prince would be found, and Minjun had already made it obvious that he was alive, and deep inside the Demon Kingdom.

After making sure the feather was still there, the King placed it inside his pocket and buttoned it up securely. People forget to look in the most obvious places, hence why no one would suspect a thing. Lastly, he cleaned up the area so that it looked the way it was before.

Now onto Minjun's execution.

It wasn't rare for the King to plan things out like this, it was normal. 

But this wasn't going to be like any other execution. The King then smirked. 

It was going to be different.

Hoseok hated watching the clock, he hated every second of it. He was at time's mercy.

There really wasn't much to say about Hoseok. Except for the fact that he was literally waiting for his doom in the most dreadful way.
