HEARTLESS

Chan POV

"Sir?" Minhyuk asked from the old oak door frame.
"What?" I mumbled as I kept my eyes on the book in front of me.
"Your father has requested your presence in the parlor, Sir." Minhyuk spoke in monotone as he stood by the door with his arms behind his back.
"Tell him I'll be there soon." I didn't bother to look at my personal butler. I just waited for him to leave with the information I gifted him.
"Yes Sir, I would make it quick, it seems important Sir." I sighed at the male who still hasn't left.
"I didn't ask you what you thought Minhyuk, now leave." I finally looked at the male, giving him a glare.
"Yes Sir." Minhyuk finally left, leaving me in the silence of my suite once more.
"Yes Sir." I mocked.

"Father, you called for me." I stated as I pushed open the parlor doors. My mother and father sat on one of the many leather couches.
"Yes Son, sit down." The aging male spoke, signaling to the love seat across from the couch they sat on.
"We're going to war, your going to be on the front line this year Chan."
What a way to get the point across.
"May I ask with whom Father?" I spoke with my head up and my arms crossed in front of my chest.
"The Lee Kingdom, that old bastard didn't get what he wanted when he asked to trade, then Wonho saw one of his men lurking around outside the kingdom walls carrying a weapon." My father spoke with bitterness lacing his deep, worn voice.
"I see...will you be along side me Father?" The old male only looked to the side at his aging wife, giving her one of the looks.
"I'm afraid not Son, my body has grown weak over the years and you've come of age Son." Our kingdom hasn't gone to war in years, the last war we fought had occurred over ten years ago.
"No need to fret my Son, I'll have our best knights riding along side you and an army full of talented men behind you." I nodded along with my father's words, waiting to be dismissed from the conversation.
"I want you to meet the knights who will ride along with you first thing at dawn tomorrow, you must grow in trust with the men who could save your life if needed."
"Yes Father." The male only nodded before sitting up, along with his aging wife and leaving me alone in the dimly lit parlor.
Alone with my thoughts.
