The Four Musketeers (TXT TaeGyu story)

Chapter 8 - The Prince

A/N: Before we'd get started, I just want to say that from now on I'll be updating the book whenever I can, I hope it's good news :D It's mainly because I finally managed to put some schedule in my life, so I don't have to be so hard on myself in things that I do for fun like drawing and writing. So I'm continuing this whole Wattpad thing as I started, so whenever I have time and I'm in the mood. So almost every day :)

I also realized (by personal experience) that people sometimes prefer reading books that are completed and don't have to wait forever for the next chap so that's another reason... Oh, and the other main reason is that I'm also working on my next SVT book and I'm really looking forward to publishing it, but I need to finish this one first ^^

Okay, let's get started because Beomgyu's on the way!

.

It's been about a week. Ever since that day with the guitar pick it seemed like Taehyun managed to make up for the horrible first impressions he did on the three boys. In fact, the four of them actually slowly became good friends. Soobin, Kai and Yeonjun welcomed Tae between themselves. The four boys usually spent their breaks together and had late night talks after their shifts.

Taehyun finally got familiar with the castle and its staff. By the end of the week, he could've walked through the hallways with his eyes closed. But what he was sad about is that he couldn't update his mother about his situation. She was expecting him to become a musketeer, and now he's here as a palace maid. Yes, he enjoyed working there and finally made some friends, but he wanted more. He knew his family would be proud of him no matter what, but he wanted his own story to be a success.

He also heard a lot of rumors and useful information from his newly made friends. He learned that Madame de Bossé was the boss for about 3 years, at least according to Yeonjun. He's been there for the longest out of the four of them, he started working in the castle right after Madame de Bossé became the boss.

'At first I thought she was abusing the power she got, but she's actually just that hardworking and strict' the boy explained one night as he was trying to pull a piece of thread though the needle.

'She's a bitch' groaned Soobin in answer.

'But let's add that if she wasn't like that, we'd never get our work done' reminded them Kai, to which the oldest two nodded defeated.

Tae also learned that the man he saw the first day, Yoongi was like a mystery to everyone.

'No one knows anything about him' exclaimed Kai when the boy asked about Yoongi. 'He's just being here and there, doing his work and being short. I don't even know how old he could be. If you ask me, I think he's a ghost!'

'Kai' rolled his eyes Soobin. 'That was disrespectful. I think he's just quiet.'

'Or a vampire!' continued Kai without paying any attention to Soobin. 'He's so pale! And have you ever seen him outside in the sunlight??'

'Leave the poor man alone' facepalmed Yeonjun. Tae chuckled.

But enough of these stories. For now, let's continue our story. The four of them were currently cleaning one of the castle's hallways and staircases when this incident happened. What incident, you ask? Well...

'It's flying! It's flying! Philippe, can you see this? It's flying!'

A boy with fluffy dark brown hair, wearing an elegant suit was running through the hallway as he was staring at the ceiling. His attitude really didn't match his looks. He looked like some fancy and important person, but seemingly he was acting like some happy little boy. But wait... he was actually the mixture of the two.
