I can only pity you.

"Mira," Taehyung called with his teeth clenched together, "do you see yourself? Look at where you have ended up after all those things you did to us."

As much as Taehyung was happy she kept her mouth shut tightly, he wished to hear her pathetic voice.

He wished to hear her cry just like she made him cry for several nights.

He wanted her to feel the loneliness he felt too.

But she kept her emotions in which made Taehyung more furious as it reminded him how good of a queen she is. While he had just impulsively strode into a prison in anger, she kept her face straight and mouth shut even after provocation from Taehyung.

She was showing him her dominance even without trying to.

She was showing him she's better and that he would never be a good queen like she is.

"Why won't you speak?!" Taehyung yelled. "Don't you have anything to say at all? Do you not realize how you caused your downfall by being a bitch to people who only wanted good for you? We all gave you the best but in return, you tried to kill our peace; are you satisfied by doing that?"

Mira still didn't open her mouth.

She got a small hint of Hyeon's smell on Taehyung--she didn't really care about that anyway; she couldn't care about someone who told her that he wished death to her and her daughter--and it made her so happy when she finally found the little traces of smell of her daughter on her.

"Your silence is irritating me," Taehyung growled. He glanced at the guards to see if they could get her to speak, but they stood still and didn't help him either.

So he just let it be.

He decided to speak and be heard, deciding it doesn't matter whether he got a response or not.

He was here for that anyway. He was here to get out his anger. However much it made him seem like a foolish normal-blood with no sense of how to be royal, he would do it as he wished to do it.

"Jungkook was always mine, Mira," Taehyung said, rumbles of anger leaving his chest. "He loved me, I loved him back later, but it was just the two of us since the beginning. You made a mistake by trying to come in between, but your childishness was only until you fucking raped my mate. You're just like your dad, just like him..."

Queens call the Kings with respect, not by their name. His inner voice told him, and it made his heart clench.

Mira didn't say anything. 

Taehyung held the bars of the prison and looked right at her eyes, staring into her soul. 

"Your daughter is here, in the castle. Hyeon is here too." 

He was seeing if Mira really did care about her daughter or not. After hearing this, if she kept quiet, then it was obvious that she didn't care about anyone and was still the horrible woman she was to separate two lovers from each other.

 But as he expected, she grew tense as soon as he mentioned her daughter. 

"Don't do anything to h-her..." Mira said in a shaky voice, almost concluding that Taehyung was going to hurt her daughter to take her revenge.
