...Flower of Evil...

Yoongi looked at the tied up Prince Jungkook in the chair. It was the interrogation unit and he himself had come to interrogate his own brother. The room was empty except a table in-between the two Princes. Candles lit up the room but it only added fuel to Prince Jungkook's messed up mind.

Yoongi took a seat infront of him. "Now,speak"

Jungkook, "I already admitted my crime"

Yoongi, "Are you taking me as a fool?Jungkook, I'm still being considerate. I have so many ways to make you speak the truth.Have you heard about the liquid truth? One drop and you'll spill everything. But it will be painful for you heart. Thus,please have some brains and speak"

Jungkook raised his head and looked at him. "Then what about you? You didn't save lady Hayoon. You could have done it. You had the heaven's spiritual medicine powder with you. You once used it to save brother Seokjin. Then why didn't you save her? "

Yoongi looked at him blankly.

"Brother,why don't you answer?", Jungkook asked.

Yoongi, "...I had my reasons"

Jungkook,"Then I have my reasons too"

Just then Prince Namjoon and crown Prince Seokjin entered. They looked at Jungkook and then looked at Yoongi. "No need to interrogate him anymore",Namjoon said as he placed a talisman on the table.

Seokjin, "We found this on lady Jihyun's body. Someone had used this to to manipulate lady Jihyun. I think it is clear who did the murder"

Yoongi raised a finger and the talisman rose up in the mid air. "It has too much dark energy. Someone had used a demonic cultivator to curse lady Jihyun and made her do what they wanted"

Jungkook widened his eyes as he looked at the talisman. "M –My mother was cursed?"

Yoongi sighed as he looked at him. "Looks like I don't need to waste my precious liquid truth on this little bastard. Now,are you willing to cooperate?"

Seokjin went to Jungkook's side and patted his shoulder. "We knew it wasn't you. You were trying to save your mother"

Jungkook's eyes moistened. "Brother,my mother is not someone who would do something like this. She had never hated lady Hayoon. Though she couldn't help lady Hayoon, my mother always loved to keep her company in secret. Many people wouldn't know this but they were friends. But I knew it. My mother would never harm her. I didn't know what happened to my mother but I couldn't accept the fact that she killed Iseul's mother"

Namjoon sighed. "I understand. And now it is clear that your mother didn't do it on purpose. It was someone else. I think someone is trying to frame you and your mother"

Yoongi, "King had considered about making Jungkook one of the heir along with brother Seokjin. If anything happens to Seokjin, Jungkook would be the one to inherit the throne. Maybe,this fact elaborated the culprit to attack Jungkook's mother. This way,Jungkook wouldn't be eligible for the heir.If they killed Jungkook, that would be a crime to be investigated. But if his mother did a crime, no more investigations and she will be beheaded  and Jungkook will be banished from the Palace. But things didn't go as planned when Jungkook entered. But somehow, this is a great opening for the enemy to get rid of Jungkook"
