{Btw, both Keigo and Touya have been aged down to 20, Fuyumi to 19, and Natsuo to 18}
Touya, the new king, is having a extremely exhausting time as ruler. Keigo, his semi secret boyfriend, wants to help him in any w...
An unknown hooded person was carrying Touya bridal style through a dungeon-like hallway. Touya was still out cold, his arms and neck hanging like a ragdoll.
After a long moment of walking, the unknown person brings Touya into the room at the end of the corridor. It was completely empty except for a singular table in the middle. The unknown person carefully places Touya on the ground. He hummed quietly but didn't wake up.
Another person, a woman, came into the room, eyeing the sleeping boy with interest.
She snaps her fingers, and yet another person comes into the room. "Cast the spell." She says.
The third person hesitantly walks over to the young king, kneeling next to his head. She whispers a few prayers and incantations, twirling her fingers above Touya's face.
"Impedortis Elementulsi." The witch whispers.
Silver colored waves slowly came out of her hands, floating down onto Touya's face. After a moment, the waves stop coming out of the witches hands, and she stands up, wrapping her robes tighter across her chest.
"Did it work?" The first woman asks impatiently.
The witch nods.
The first woman walks over to Touya and promptly slaps him across the face. The boy doesn't even flinch. The first woman, seemingly satisfied, smiles cruelly and turns to the unknown person who brought Touya in.
"Now that that's settled, we can bring him somewhere without the extra precautions." The cruel woman says. "Follow me."
The hooded person kneels down and picks Touya up again.
The group then leaves the room, going up the stairs, and entering a new hallway. This hallway was way cleaner, newer. Granite flooring, red carpets, marble pillars every seven feet, diamond embedded tapestries hanging from every place in between the pillars. Everything was luxurious, from the sapphire chandeliers hanging from the ceiling to the jade and amethyst stained glass.
This was the Capital.
They walked through several of these hallways, each one an exact copy of the last, until they went up three layers and finally arrived at a door.
The door was a majestic porcelain base with designs in gold. The witch opened the door and the first woman entered, followed by the hooded person holding Touya. The witch entered last, staying close to the door.
Everything about this room, like everywhere else, was majestic and pristine.

The cruel woman hummed in thought. "Just set him there." She says, waving towards the middle of the room, where the mirror was standing.
The hooded person walked over to the mirror, and unceremoniously dumped Touya onto the white and reflective floor. The boy didn't make a sound. The momentum from the drop caused him to shift, making him hit himself against the wall.
"Madam President." The witch whispers, her voice gravely and hoarse. "Now that the king is gone, it is the time to invade."
The cruel woman turns. "Well, we have to prepare, don't we?" She says. "Suto, tell the generals about our plans."
The hooded person nods, and leaves the room. The cruel woman smirks across the room at the sleeping boy, delight glittering in her eyes.
Touya's skin was sucked of warmth by the cold glass ground.
...
Keigo, Izuku, and Shouto were riding horses through the forest. Keigo was holding a map in one hand, and frowned down at it.
"We're almost out of the woods." Keigo says. "Then there a field for a few miles, before we arrive at the back entrance of the Capital, alright?"
Both the teenagers nod. They had most everything planned out.
"He's been kidnapped by the Capital?" Natsuo exclaims, dropping the folder he was holding. "Oh Qirius, this isn't good."
Izuku had just finished explaining the situation to him, after he came back from a meeting with the kingdom's advisors.
"We have to find Touya-nii and find the cure for the disease now." Shouto says. "This is not good. Fuyumi only has so long." He frowns at the folders Natsuo was currently picking up. "What are in those anyway?"
Natsuo smiled at him sheepishly. "Just king stuff." He says. "I understand why Touya-nii's always tired now, heh."
Izuku laughs a bit before turning to Keigo. "You said you might know where Touya is?" He asks.
Keigo frowns. "Yes." He finally says. "And I know how to get there, but it's heavily protected and I only know the relative area he's in, not an exact room. And there are many rooms." He sighs. "But I got a way in. So you have to follow my exact words the entire time, alright?" He warns Shouto and Izuku. They nod.
After a few more minutes of woods, the trees clear and the trio enters a huge field.
"Wow.." Izuku breathes. "It's beautiful."
Shouto nods. They start galloping down the field, towards the huge cityu they could see from all the way there. "I remember the first time I traveled to the Capital." He says. "I think I was three or four. I was completely amazed by it."
"That sounds right." Keigo says. "Hold on, see that ditch there? Stop in there for a second."
They did as told, and looked at Keigo. After a moment of what looked like severe concentration, Keigo nodded. "Alright, let's go." He says.
They finally got close to the large walls of the castle, and after more riding, they encountered a small door below a rock. The rock was pressed against the wall and a small hill, so it was a good hiding spot.
"Alright, everyone needs to stay quiet now." Keigo says in a hushed tone, dismounting his horse. "Just follow my lead and do not wander around."
Shouto and Izuku nod mutely, and release their horses.
Keigo crouches down and fingers with the lock on the door, opening it after a moment. He crawls inside, and Shouto follows him, followed by Izuku right after.
They crawl down the small tunnel for a few minutes, before it opens up and another door was seen, this time it had slits across the front so Keigo could see through. He peeked through the holes and saw an empty hallway.
Unlocking that door, he crawled out into the large pristine hallway. Once Shouto and Izuku came out as well, Keigo eyed both of them.
"It's this way." He whispers, before walking silently down the corridor.
