THE PROPHECY ( TOP TAE VERSION) ♡

71. Hungry cubs

Days passed..

Silent war started between the real king in the deep woods and the proxy traitor king in the castle. Knowing the strength of Tiger and his loyal army, king understood he is in the weaker side of this war , he knows buying more warriors from island is useless.

King have no way other than surrendering himself to his son rather than getting dethroned and gruesomely killed by the ferocious tiger. But he is also afraid to approach the tigress . Gguk is his only option now.

So he secrerly sent a messenger to his son, inviting Gguk alone to a place which only the father and his son alone knows. It's a place where they go for fishing when Gguk was just a kid. King promised he will come alone to the place to ensure safety of Gguk.

That's the day Tae left Gguk and his cubs in their rock home to see the warriors army he raised to fight the king, despite of constant denial from Gguk, Tae stubbornly left to see his army. That's the last time Tae saw his Gguk .

Gguk received the message of King after Tae left his home. The message states that the king wishes to see Gguk alone and crown him as kingdom's heir in return of mercy. He asked Gguk to taking him as the Royal prisoner under Gguk's custody with the proper trial.

Gguk wouldn't have beleived those sweet words, but King like typical selfish king he is trying to trade his safety instead of throne, so Gguk understood that King wants to personally gets surrender to him as Tae might kill him at sight.

The king called Gguk to the certain place , but Gguk decided not to go straight to the place alone without Tae, so he turned in to his tigress form and go through the dense forest rather through the usual man made route.

Even though Gguk believed his father's surrender plan, he was really cautious knowing everything about his cruel father. So he didn't directly reached the place, instead he stealthily climbed a bushy tree and hid himself from the sight of normal human beings.

As King promised, he came alone, he looked very sick and tired. The king limped all the way hiding himself under under poor clothes to hide himself from his angry citizens.Gguk slightly felt bad for his father.

Though Gguk got little emotional on seeing his father , Tygee is very alert and couldn't trust the King even in this situation, she watched the king waiting for Gguk almost an hour. The place and the surrounding looked very different than his memories.

Gguk felt something wrong about that place and decided to go back to his rock home , since he left his cubs alone with Yoongmin. Though he believed his father's surrendering plan, he decided to inform Tae about this before he show up in front of his father.

So Tygee slowly without any quick movements get down from the tree and tried to leave the place without making any advancement. That's when she heard a loud scream of the king and when she turned to look at him. A group of ordinary looking people started to hit king.

When tygee saw the blood oozing out from the kings nose, she pounced on the river and crossed the river to save his father from the attacking citizens.

Though his father is a bad person, Gguk couldn't let some unknown people hit him that way, by turning down his tygee's alarming sense Gguk followed his stupid human emotions.

Tygee fell right in to the trap, she is now in a deep pit made by King's army, which was covered by mesh net and dried leaves. King displays a victory smirk on his face. Because everything is going according to his plan, he was even ready to get hits from his army to capture his son.

" Don't worry Ggukie... I won't hurt you... Or your cubs.... You are my blood... Yeah!!! We captured them too... I just want to make deals with you.. Your stupid tiger lover is not ready to negotiate deals... I guess, now he will come to me begging for deals. " King arrogantly said..

" Grrrrr.... " Tygee growled feeling the ultimate betrayal and defeat. But the thing hurts him more is that...the king took cubs too.

Actually...King couldn't find the location of her cubs, they even searched near the tribal forest but they couldn't find the rock home as the home is magically hidden out of the sight of human beings. Tae did this hiding thing while he left his home but Gguk have no idea about that.

It's been a day...

Tae is searching for Gguk everywhere in the forest and in the castle, he couldn't find anything. No attacks or army raidsvnear rock home, no invasion or anything but Gguk is missing. After a day long search in the forest Tae couldn't find Gguk or the king even in the castle.

King and Gguk are hiding in the same place, the place where Taehyung never been before. Even his tiger sense couldn't smell or sense the presence of Tygee Or Gguk, because king erased all the trace of smell with some herbs.

King knows every strength and weakness of the magical tiger couple. Everything is going according to his long drawn plan, except the cubs. He still couldn't find the cubs. Once he get hold of the cubs, he decided to take them as prisoners and negotiate deal with the blue eyes tiger.

As blue eyes tiger is an immortal soul, the only way to eradicate it from this world is to make Tae kill himself. With that the tiger will not have a body to fight against him. That way king took Gguk as his prisoner and ordered his guards to search for cubs in deep forest.

At rock home...

The cubs are hungry and restless, they are not trained to eat any meat. They completely rely on their mother's milk. Jaemin have no strength even to make chuffing noise but hungry Jimin is restlessly chuffing calling for his mother.

TaeYoung is devestated, he tried calming his cubs , being in his tiger form. Tiger is getting more impatient and loosing his mind and becoming violent because of the situation, so Tae turned back in to his human form and calmly petting his both cubs all the while silently crying for his Gguk.

I shouldn't have left to baby!!

I shouldn't have left you alone...

I'm sorry please come back to me...

As time passed Jimin's chuffing sound getting really loud, Jimin started loosing all his strength calling his mother. Tae decided to take them to tribal people . As King's guards are everywhere searching for his cubs, he is still hesitant to take risk with kids without Gguk by his side.

With all those thoughts Tae leaned back on the wall with his cubs on his lap with dried tears on his face. Jimin slowly released himself from his father's hold and went to one corner of the house and let a low deep cry from his diaphragm which Tae couldn't hear, but his tiger felt that with his body .

Tygee felt the same vibration in her body . She started to chuff back to her cubs from her prison.
