The Beast...//KIM TAEHYUNG//

O N E : dirty past

Kim Taehyung (The 2nd prince of the emperor) was sitting in his room, smoothly sharpening his sword, his eyes focused on the sword. Tilting his head, he lifted the beautifully crafted, long sword and ran his fingers across the runes filling the blade's fuller.

He smirked, exposing his face from behind the sword, his eyes could tell everything about him, they were dark and deep.

He heard the knock on his door and commanded to come in.

Taehyung: "Minhyuk." He said, looking at him.

His voice was low-pichted, deep and warm.

Minhyuk bowed his head and then said.

Minhyuk: " Your highness, he is getting married soon. Probably within a month." He said. "There's a banquet in the royal palace tomorrow, his fiance will also come to meet everyone."

Taehyung dilated his eyes and went deep in the thoughts for a moment, then he spoke.

Taehyung: "That means I have to do something soon. If he gets married, there's high chance he will be chosen the
crown prince by emperor."

He picked up the sharpening stone and started to sharpen his sword. "He cant get married so soon, I still need some time."

Minhyuk could sense there was something going on in his head definitely something evil, when he asked.

Minhyuk: "Then, what are you going to do?"

Taehyung:"Kill his fiance." He said, leaving him stunned.

Another murder? another innocent person will be killed? Minhyuk thought. Why do he always have to kill people to get what he wants?

Minhyuk: "My Lord, if you'll kill his fiance he will marry someone else. It will not change anything."

Minhyuk didn't want his master to take another innocent life, he knew by killing people he was only becoming more empty
inside and as a loyal guard, an advisor and maybe a friend, Minhyuk only wanted good for him.

Taehyung: "Doesn't he like her? I'm sure atleast he will pretend to mourn for some time. Right now, all I can do is steal his marriage."

Minhyuk sighed, then he turned around when he heard the loud bang on the door, two guards dragged a man inside the room.

Guard: "Your highness, he was eavesdropping." They all bowed.

The man was vibrating in fear, he could scarcely breathe when Taehyung glared at him.

Man: "i was not, i was not eavesdropping, your highness.

Standing up from his seat, Taehyung took some steps towards that man.

Man: "i came here to deliver the royal invitation f-for the banquet. I didn't eavesdrop my lord"

Taehyung: "Leave him." He said, signalling his guards to go out his room. They left the room, bowing.

The man fell on his knees and started begging with his hands together.

Man: "Your highness, p-please cut my tongue so i cant speak! C-cut my hands so I can't write! B-but please spare my life! I
didn't hear anything your highness. He took out the invitation and put it on the floor. "i just came here to deliver the invitation."

Taehyung lowered his head at his level and deeply glared into his eyes.

Taehyung: "How scared are you?"

He asked in a gruff voice, the man skipped his breath.

He couldnt even connect eyes with Taehyung, his hands were shivering, his eyes blinking. He was scared to death, he was seeing his death standing in front of him.
