Taehyun's POV

"You are impossible, Taehyun! You dare oppose the Majesty's idea of keeping his Kingdom and may I say, yours in the future, safe!", father shouted ever so loudly

We were in court judging someone's case in which the guy was falsely accused of stealing

"Your Majesty. We can all tell here that death is not his suppose to be fate. He is innocent! In our eyes and in His eyes above.", I answered with a monotone voice

"Nonsense! Get out of my presence! What do you know about ruling that your Majesty, thy father, don't!?", he said standing up

"Father.... Am I really the one who has no feelings..? Am I really the one who's got a cold heart?", I said looking away

I then heard nothing but silence

I slowly touched my cheeks as I feel tears fill up my eyes

"Your Majesty...", I said as I looked at him

His Majesty still has his hand raised from the slap he just did to me

"Get out.", he said as I stood up and walked away without looking at my father again

As soon as I got out of court I loosened my tie as I groaned in frustration

An innocent villager was about to get killed for the crimes he had sertainly not do.

"This Kingdom is a joke, honestly! How is it that no one's allowed in and out as well as this Kingdom has bad system?", I saod as I walk away

More free time for me then

I walked through the Palace's walls as I make my way to my room, frustration still in my heart

As soon as I arrived, I closed and locked the door not wanting anyone to come in without notice

As soon as I sat down in front of the window, I saw the map that was given to me

"It has been a month since I escaped this Kingdom", I said as I stood up to grab the piece of paper

I looked at it curiously, it seems to be blank

"What? Are they trying to fool me? Why give me an empty paper-", I was cut off when I unfolded it as the map started to magically appear

"How..?", I said as I looked around it seeing footprints with names on it as I tried searching Father's to see of it was real

And so it was

Father's footprints were still and was inside the court

"How is this possible..? There's nothing like this that I've heard about", I said as I wander my eyes around the map

There I saw unfamiliar names as I looked at where they were at

"Are these the creatures who were trying to help me? If so, what are they doing just outside the Kingdom's wall?"

Yeonjun's POV

"It's been a month, Yeonjun. We need to go and find somewhere else to stay", Soobin said annoyed at the fact I decided to wait for the Prince

"You don't understand Soobin. He may be the answer to us! To our problem.", I said as he glared at me

"We are not using the person, Yeonjun! He knows nothing about us so we are not dragging him into our little tornado!", Soobin said as I sighed

"I never said that we should use him. What I'm trying to say is that he may be willing to help us out. Perhaps give us a hand", I clarified

"I hate to say this but Yeonjun's right, Soobin. We should wait for at least another weak, then we take our go and leave.", Beomgyu said

"Yeah, it really may be the best for us if we do so", Huening Kai agreed as Soobin sighed

"You guys are utterly impossible", Soobin said before chuckling

"Alright, we'll give it a shot", Soobin said as we all quietly cheered

"Give what a shot?"

Yes the map is inspired by the Marauder's Map from Harry Potter :P
