Yoongi and jungkook are almost nearing the kingdom when jungkook suddenly stops , his eyes going bigger with each second passing . Yoongi , who is behind him stops too as the motion stops and looks at jungkook . Jungkook takes in a deep breath and runs ahead towards the garden filled with different coloured roses .

He crouches down and admires the flowers , looking at them with sparkling eyes . Jungkook and his admiration for flowers .

They are beautiful aren't they hyung ? He asks and yoongi hums , the other two bodyguards just looking at their princess with fond eyes .

You know hyung flowers are the prettiest thing i have ever seen , they are so colorful , beautiful and different from one another . If you see a flower , you can never say it is not pretty on its own . They make people believe that there is beauty in uniqueness and every other thing is beautiful on its own and i totally live for that , yoongi smiles hearing jungkook's words and the way he is busy looking at the flowers in the most pleasent , relaxing and admirable way possible .

From where you get all these wise words princess ? Yoongi asks to which jungkook chuckles and stands up . He points at his chest where his heart lies and says ,

From here within , the proud smile on yoongi's face is enough to know that he can do anything for that precious heart to stay protected .

Promise me princess , you will never lose hope even if life serves you the worst , jungkook smiles and nods .

I promise I will never , they have no idea the promise they made is much needed .

Glancing one last time at the pretty flowers , jungkook starts walking again towards the kingdom . They reach the territory and the aura makes everyone tense .

There is an awful silence spread across the once peacefully chaotic arena of Kingdom Zeus . With shaky hands , jungkook pushes open the door only to gasp out loud at the scene of the soil he once walked on cheerfully .

🤍🤍🤍

Yeah Kim Taehyung speak up , jimin says to which taehyung looks at him with confused look .

What's there to speak about ? Jimin makes the dirty face as he asks ,

About the prince of Zeus , taehyung shakes his head .

You are being delusional , he says as he tries to walk ahead of the boy who has something else planned in his mind .

Oh really ? Park jimin is being delusional ok then what was the look you were giving him , what was the excuse you gave us about remembering only him from the engagement ceremony , what was the fond smile for and most importantly what was the need to let him join us when you most specifically don't like our time being intruded , jimin bombards him with questions which taehyung ignores or more like tries to .

His mind questions him the same , why is he doing this ? What's that feeling that always blooms in him when he sees the boy . What's with him getting all soft for him but he doesn't got any answer .

He is right taehyung . You were , mmm kinda different with him , hoseok decides to voice out making taehyung to think that if his hoseok hyung thinks the same than there must be something cause hoseok is the man of his words , he uses words and quotes precisely and once he says something ,he has either thought about it thousands of times or has observed things keenly . Taehyung sighs , he doesn't have any explanation or answer to their questions .

I don't know hyung it's just that whenever I see that boy it gives me the feeling that he needs to be cherished and protected . He is too good and innocent for the world to see , he is just so pure to be given in the hands of cruel reality , he is just so charming to be ignored . I don't know , he says and hoseok sighs . He doesn't want to think of any new possibilities cause he knows that's not gonna end well and taehyung , well he is already committed to someone so it's better if they drop the topic here only .

It's ok , take your time , hoseok says and eyes jimin who understands and agrees with him .

They finally reach the kingdom and taehyung bids them goodbye as they go to their houses . Taehyung reaches the palace , keeps his horse in the stable and goes to his room . He will have dinner there only as it's already been late for him to have dinner with others .

🤍🤍🤍

What happened here ? Jungkook mumbles as he witnesses the scene . His eyes dilating in utter shock and fear from all the dead bodies spread across the ground , the sand soaking in red from how many brave soldiers who knows .

Yoongi and guards shield him in an instinct but jungkook is too far gone to notice his surroundings . The road by which he walked out just this morning all happy is now crowded by people , it was crowded earlier too but with people who were smiling , giving him good wishes and blessings not with people lying lifeless on the ground .

Where is his parents and his hyung ? The question makes him shiver as his eyes look up towards the palace . He is about to run when yoongi holds his hand .

Jungkook don't move , jungkook's eyes get teary as he looks at yoongi ,

Hyung , a-appa , he can't complete his sentence as yoongi squeezes his hand .

Take him to a safe place . I will check everything here , yoongi says to the guards who nod but jungkook shakes his head ,

No i am not going anywhere , yoongi shakes his head and says ,

There can still be danger jungkook , just go , jungkook closes his eyes . The fear of not being able to see his appa , eomma and his hyung killing him from inside as he says ,

Min yoongi i am your prince you can't order me around , he never uses his privileges over yoongi but now he has to . Yoongi looks at him shocked and finally says ,

Please don't do this jungkook , the vulnerability in his voice makes jungkook sigh but he can't back off until he makes sure of his parents and hyung being fine with his own eyes ,

I said what i said , yoongi sighs and nods . They start making their way towards the palace all while checking on the soldiers .

There is almost every single person who was the part of the army of Kingdom Zeus present but not breathing anymore and that shakes yoongi to his core . What even happened here ? He can't even imagine .

They near the palace and there jungkook steps ahead . A board is planted on the ground with something written on it . Jungkook's throat goes dry and he stumbles backwards badly as soon as his mind registers the meaning of the words written over there with a ring , a sword and a bracelet .

The king and queen of Zeus along with the elder prince are no more . We have buried them near the east entry of forest if anyone comes in search of them .

-the humble people of Kingdom Zeus who survived the attack .
