Taehyung's POV

I walked towards the Grand Hall because my father summoned me. I saw my older brother standing there with his wife, my father, and my mother sitting on the golden throne.

I stand beside my older brother, totally hating to be here already. I saw my father glaring at me and I looked at him coldly.

"Where were you?" He asked and I rolled my eyes. "Why did you call me?"

"You were again at your chamber practicing black magic, weren't you, Taehyung?" He asked and I looked at him. "Yes. I love it."

"I told you to stop doing these things. Your coronation is in a week. Yet you're still practicing black magic. Which king practices black magic—" I raised my hand, a green light emitting from it.

I heard my parents gasp from the front and I turned to look at my older brother with my angry eyes. He was looking sorry for his wife.

Oh, why wouldn't he be?

Because he refused to take the throne by marrying a commoner, I'll have to take the throne now.

It's not like I hate taking the throne, it's all I ever wanted. But people are not accepted when they are associated with magic. So here my parents are giving me a lecture on why I should leave it.

"I'm sorry, Taehyung." I heard my brother and scoffed at him. "It's not like you care. You promised me that you'll be the king. Then you'll pass me the throne later on after normalizing the practice of magic so that I can still perform magic when I'm the king.

But you never mentioned your sudden marriage and then you gave up the throne, Taeul. Now I have to listen to their talks and people hate the fact that their next King is a wizard."

I threw a huge ball of green flames across the corner of the room. "Well, then if you have a problem, I guess I'll have to use magic on all of you," I said, everyone in the room was beyond shocked.

I turned my heels, walking away from the hall towards my secret chamber. I don't allow anyone inside there. No one has ever entered my chambers beside me. It is where I practice magic.

While I was walking towards it, I heard a female voice. "Prince Taehyung," she cooed and I poked my cheeks with my tongue, shutting my eyes in annoyance.

This day couldn't get worse.

I turned around to look at Kang Sora looking at me seductively. The upper part of her gown was almost revealing but trust me, that didn't turn me on at all.

"Princess Sora, leave me alone. I'm not in the right mind. And you're still here at my palace." I hissed with my raging voice.

She batted her eyelashes and gave me a fake innocent look while fiddling with her dress. "Prince Taehyung, please, treat me like a princess. Why are you getting angry? I am a princess."

"Then behave like one?" I muttered as she was approaching me but I clicked my fingers, using my magic, pushing her away from me. She gasped being pulled away towards the corridor while screaming my name.

But I couldn't care less.

She was supposed to be my brother's wife but he didn't want to marry her, so he escaped the palace and got married to the one he loves. And thus now, Sora is supposedly my future wife and the next queen.

All I want is to puke on her face or make her drink a lizard's tail soup to kill her. She's so annoying. At first, she wanted my brother's attention but now she's craving mine.

I stood in front of the plain wall before looking around to see if anyone was there. But there was no one. I shut my eyes and moved my hands in a circular direction, a green flame emerging from my palms, and then the door slowly appeared.

I jerked my hands and the door opened. I entered the room and slowly walked over to the table, containing all the opened books, potions, a half-eaten apple, and other things required for witchcraft. There was another room next to this but I'll explain that some other time.

I walked over to the crystal before sitting in front of it. I heard a hiss and I knew who it was. "Are you hungry, Baem?" I asked my pet snake and he slowly crawled to my table.

It raised its head, opening its mouth, its tongue hissing while it was staring at me.

Baem is a black mamba. These snakes are fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive.

They have been blamed for numerous human deaths, and for these, the black mamba is widely considered the world's deadliest snake.

Why am I keeping it?

I found it when it was really small and I took it in. It was scary and deadly, making it look more attractive so I thought of taking it in.

"Do you want a desert kangaroo rat?" I asked and heard a hiss. I smirked and turned around, fixing my gold-embroidered black velvet robe.

"Let's go there, shall we?" I heard Baem hiss again. I raised my hand, joining my index and middle finger together, fixing that gesture in one place. Using my other hand, moving it in a circle, green flames again create a big hoop for me to pass through.

I smiled, staring at the desert on the other side, and looked at Baem who was already in the ground, ready to go there for a meal. I walked inside the hoop, taking us to the desert, and saw Baem crawling away.

It probably sniffed its prey and is going to catch it. I looked around to see nothing but sand all around.

I started walking on the sand, thinking if my life just plays fair for once what is going to happen? Sudden coronation, marriage, confrontation for practicing magic. Everything is suffocating me.

"I wish something good happens to me real soon—"

My eyes widened as I saw a silver hoop in the middle of the desert. It was similar to the hoop through which I passed through but its color and shape were different. "Teleportation hoop? Why is it silver—"

My eyes landed upon a girl, wearing a midnight blue gown, a golden tiara placed on her long silver hair, and a quiver strapped to her back, as she was arching her bow toward the two men in front of her.

There was an old bald lady beside her who screamed but I couldn't hear much, I walked towards the hoop, as my eyes were still glued to the scene in front.

The bow flew forward, but the blonde guy raised his hand, golden flames emitting from his hand and the bow stopped on its track.

The arrow stopped on its way.

The guy then twisted his hand and the arrow reversed its direction facing the girl.

He jerked his hand and the arrow flew towards her, grazing her skin and cutting the string of her dress, as I saw the old lady doing hand gestures, big silver flames emerging from her palms and then she shot those beams towards the two men.

"Deity! Go! Leave!" She says, while the beams flow towards them but the black-horned guy used magic, dark powers were shielding silver powers. The girl shook her head. "I won't!"

The dark power was slowly engulfing the silver ones, reaching the two females. I saw the old lady pushing the girl back, toward my direction as she fell unconscious while mumbling,

"Grandmother."
