Telling you the tale of Jeongan Dynasty.
About struggle of human against evil.
Not connected by birth but for my motherland. What is a bit of pain ? Just a scratch left to be healed.
What is death ? If i can achieve my obssetion.
Lost there love...
After passing through underground tunnel which directly open at the capital they quickly marched towards Min-hyuk's residence.
Do kyoong soo was secretly delighted. Because taking him through this passage show how much trust emperor place on him and for a loyal minister nothing can be more treasurable then trust of there master.
There destiny was Min-hyuk residence which is beside Min family's main house as for why not in the main house itself with his family perhaps only Min-hyuk know.
After passing thorough the bustling city they reached the gate. Knocking on the door a servent boy opened it.
The servents boy who apper too be of 16-17 was quite brave even in face of dozens of soilders he didn't tremble instead roam his gaze around curiously, when his gaze crash with deep abyss like eye he hastily withdrew his gaze.
"How can i help you, mister ? "
He asked the soldier in front.
" Inform vice commander Min-hyuk that people from palace have come to visit." Saying that he stuffed a green jade in his hand.
The boy glaced at the jade, looking at dragon patterns on it he have a guess about identity of the man but he dare not think much and hurriedly went inside.
When the steward, Ki-moon gave that jade to Min hyuk he understood in an instant. Quite puzzled but he hurriedly came to welcome them.
After inviting them inside the chamber he personally poured them tea.
" How can i help your Majesty ? "
Jungkook traced his hand on the tea cup lightly " Commander Min can you tell me what exactly happen on night of prince Jungho's death. "
Upon hearing that Min-hyuk complexion didn't change but his hand under the sleeve were faintly trembling.
He was silent for a long time before seriously staring at Jungkook's eye.
" Your Majesty pardon me for my rudeness but if you want to know the truth then i fear that my head will be pierced. "
Jungkook laughed " Commander Min you don't have to care about that. I dare ask so definetly i dare to protect."
.
Now only Jungkook and Min-hyuk were left inside the room.
After settling his emotions Min hyuk finally open his mouth.
" Upon receving the order, i personaly killed the former crown prince Jung-ho who never look down on my status but treated me as a friend. He was wise with kind heart for people. He have all those qualities that an emperor should posses he trusted me whole heartedly that's why when i betrayed him he wasn't even able to react."
(A/n- late crown prince name Jung-ho. He is jk's grandfather's step brother.)
After fulfiling his order he closed him self behind the door. Outsider thought it was because of sadness from prince's passing but only he know how guilty he was.
The shouts of 'why' from those bloodless lips still haunt him at night. Thats why as if to lessen his guilt he didn't killed witness of his crime that day. He even send gold and jewels to him every year at that date to remind him of his crime in hope that maybe one day this secret will be revealed and to also remind himself of his immoral behavior at moment of greed.
" Mr. Min whose order was it ? "
Min hyuk was immerse in his ordeal suddey his gaze turn weird. He look at Jungkook with suspicion, confusion, rage and all kind of emotions it was like seeing someone else through him.
Jungkook frown heavily in displeasure. " Min hyuk ! "
" Ah !" Min hyuk suddenly cried out heavily breathing as if just saved from drowning in water.
"Forgive me my lord." His body tremble from Jungkook's momentum as he finally came to his sense.
Jungkook indifferently look at him.
" It was prince..it was second highness your grandfather who promised me a high position."
Complete silence filled the air.
Afraid he will not believe Min hyuk called ki-moon who soon came with an broken jade.
Jungkook recognised it, it was his grandfathers belonging he always wear the same design of jade no matter how many time its broken.
Jungkook return it with a smile " It is not forged but all of the previous broken jade is thrown away maybe it is one of then."
Evidence isnt solid But Min hyuk wasn't panicked.
" At that time i wasn't thinking of collecting evidence and by the time i started investigating nothing was left. But if your majesty want more edivence then Anyang village can give you all the answers. I believe that imperial power can unearth the truth behind Anyang village's disaster."
Noding Jungkook turn to leave, stoping at the door he coldly look at Min hyuk. " I hope general Min woudn't play with two cards and inform someone else of our visit."
Min hyuk was startled but at the end he just smile and said nothing.
When Jungkook left Min hyuk collapsed, his body shaking nonstop. Ki-moon hurriedly supported him.
Min hyuk trembled and burried his face in his hands mumbling Xiao Jung forgive me, xiao Jung forgive me. Ki-moon hurriedly fed him his pills. His gaze towards Min hyuk was filled with pity.
(A/n - in Chinese Xiao means little so here Xiao jung is late crown prince pet name .)
It has been years but Min hyuk still hasn't come out of grief and gets panick attack when remembering about the former crown prince.
.
That night Jungkook was in rare delicate mood. It would be false to say that he wasn't affected by Min hyuk's word. After his mother passed away it was only his grandfather whom he see as his relative. He thought his grandfather as his role model but never expected that behind that gentle mask might lay an vicious greedy face.
Wandering through the palace unknowingly his steps took him infront of Taehyung's courtyard.
That person should be awake, probably reading some books. Such scholarly looks he has, but in his bone he is a fighter.
No longer hesitating, he took a step forward.
"Long live the emperor."
Hearing the calls, Taehyung look up in doubt.
Hurrying , he stood up " What brought your Majesty here ? " It wasn't a taunt but curiosity.
Jungkook simplily slumbed on the bed , picking up the book his lips curled up.
Seeing Jungkook immesed in the book without answering Taehyung ordered One of the maid. " Go bring back some books from study. "
"No need this is enough." Tilting his head Jungkook crooked his fingers towards Taehyung " Come here."
Familiar with his lechery behaviour Taehyung simply moved forward. " What-
Half way through, his words stop as his vision spun rapidly and in next second he was in a warm embrace.
