Taehyun's POV

I wonder if anyone had already noticed that I've been out

"I hope not, though I've been out for quite long...", I whispered to myself as I slowly but surely went to the castle

Once I arrived, no guards were on duty or were at least present

"That's... A curious thing to happen. I wonder why guards keep on disappearing, I reckon father is behind this...", I said before removing my hood

I walked towards the main entry way of the castle but something made me stop right in front of the court

Someone, rather

"Father...", I whispered as I quickly went out of sight but close enough to at least hear what was happening

"Have you taken the Stay Kingdom for consideration, Your Majesty?", I heard one of the wealthy man, father is friends with, say

"Of course. As King I shall take any helpful suggestions into account. I will not allow my Kingdom to be entered with nasty creatures we are not familiar with!", my father screamed ever so loudly

I flinched back a bit at the tone my father used

"All of you, back to your stations! Guard and make sure no one goes in and out!", father says before walking towards the exit

I quickly ran away and went to the back entry way of the castle

Once I was sure no one could see me, I started to walk calmly

"What's with father and creatures? I thought they werw stupid tales father would tell me at night"

I quietly opened the back door seeing no one was there

I sighed in relief as I went down the hallway trying to go back to my room as quickly as I can to avoid anyone seeing me

"My boy?"

"Your Majesty", I quickly bow down as father walks toward me

"Where did you come from? What's with the dress up?", father asked as I slowly looked up

"I got a bit cold, is all. I also came from the library to read about history. Very entertaining, Henry's six wives, that is.", I said smiling

"Get to bed, it's late. You shouldn't be out of bed. You have tons of schedules to fulfill tomorrow."

"Will do, Your Highness", I said as I bow one last time before I walk away and to my room

Once I closed the door I immediately slumped down onto the floor

I was so nervous at the thought of getting caught that I've mentioned King Henry and his wives

I sighed before standing up and deciding to change into my sleeping attire
