"Your highness, a gift from Alavania has been received on the occasion of your wedding with Prince Namjoon" says one of the courtmen, in the court of Dernia.

"Oh, how generous of Alavania, open it up" Jung Ji-ho, the king of Dernia says, smirking at Namjoon, who is sitted beside him, on his throne.

Namjoon smiles softly at him, his lips curving up in a hesitant smile.

The courtmen opens up the ribbon holding the huge golden box. Removing the cap and glancing inside, his eyes bulging out when he sees the content of the box.

"What is in it?" Ji-ho asks

"Y-your h-highness, t-there is..." The courtmen stutters

"Answer me" Ji-ho shouts.
Making Namjoon shiver and close his eyes to calm down his erratic heartbeat.

"There is a head of someone and so many fingers in the box" the courtmen says in a single breath.

"What?" Ji-ho says, advancing towards the box kept in the middle of the courtroom on a table.

He peeks in the box and sees a very familiar head inside sorrounded by countless fingers.

Tearing the box open from all the sides, he glances at the face of the head.
"it's the Brigadier of Quire" he whispers.

"Your highness there is a letter, on the cap of the box" the courtmen who opened the box says.

"Then read it" Ji-Ho shouts once more.

The courtmen nods, opening the letter.

"Try to infiltrate my kingdom again, and i will make sure to have your head and fingers in a box.
- The King Of Alvania"
The courtmen narrates the content of the letter.

"Hah, looks like my hard work of three years didn't pay off" Ji-ho says and sits on his throne once again.

Namjoon looks at box in utter horror, his body shivering, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

Ji-ho notices Namjoon's behaviour and puts his hand affectionately on the Prince's shoulders, bringing him close to his body.
"Don't be scared, my prince, it's just a head and few fingers, I have killed much more people than the number of fingers in the box" he coos in Namjoon's ears.

"Take the box out, and burn it, see your prince is getting sacred" he says pouting and placing a peck on Namjoon's wobbling lips.


" You were infiltrating Alvania from 3 years," Namjoon shouts as soon as Ji-ho enters the bedroom.

"Don't shout at me, love" Ji-ho coos at Namjoon's angry face.

"Don't call me that" he shouts once again

"I said don't shout at me" Ji-ho says gritting his teeth, advancing towards Namjoon like a predator.

Namjoon shivers in fear and takes a few step back, before his back collides with a nearby wall.

"Y-you get away from me" he says pushing Ji-ho away from himself. His nostrils getting filled by Ji-Ho's rose collagen and making him dizzy with an intense need to vomit.

"Tell me love why are you crying " Ji-ho says laughing

"You lied to me" Namjoon says tears dripping down his face "you said If I married to you you wouldn't invade Alavania"

"No i said if you married me I wouldn't invade Alavania because of you" the king says wipping down his tears.

"No no you lied to me" Namjoon shouts pushing away Ji-ho making him stumble.

Ji-ho fumes at him and slaps Namjoon hard across his face, making him stumble and lie on the floor.

"Don't forget who you are, just a peasant, never ever raise your voice on me" he pulls a hysterical Namjoon making him stand on his wobbly feat.

"You just have a nice body, nothing else, don't run your pretty little mouth and I will let you live" he says tightening his hold on Namjoon's arms making him whimper in pain.

"Please, i will give you anything, everything you want just stop invading Alvania" Namjoon pleads.

"Anything?" Ji-ho says tilting his head sideways. "You have nothing to give, you're dumb, if you think just because you married me I will leave Alavania, no never. I will take everything away from that lover of yours, i already took you and now just his Kingdom is left" Ji-ho says before leaving a crying Namjoon and exting the room.

Namjoon cries and cries, everything that he did was futile, nothing worked.
If only he wouldn't have left Alvania for Banzai, he would have been happily married with His Jungkook and His family would have been safe.

But what can he do, his family, he still doesn't know where they are.
He was so happy when he met his family in Banzai. The eternal sadness and loneliness he felt vanished when he saw the faces of his father, mother and his beautiful little sister.

But everything turned upside down, when Ji-ho showed up on his family door asking for Namjoon's hand in marriage.

Namjoon politely declined saying that he was engaged to someone else. Ji-ho accepted and left. But the next morning when he woke up, his family was no where in sight. Only a letter left by Ji-ho was all he had in sight.

A letter of his doom.
In that letter Ji-ho blackmailed him that if Namjoon didn't marry him, he would invade Alavania and kill Namjoon's entire family. He already knew that Namjoon was Jungkook's lover. But if he did marry Ji-ho either of the things wouldn't be happening at any time in the future.

Namjoon knew even if he didn't marry Ji-ho, Dernia wouldn't be able to defeat Alavania.

However there were so many buts in his mind.

The destruction that Dernia causes, will be huge if there will be a war.
He didn't want people to suffer because of him.
However the biggest reason was his family, what about them they are already in Ji-ho grasp and he can kill them any moment he wants.
No Namjoon doesn't want that, he has just met them, he hasn't even talked to them properly, didn't even tell how much he loves them, how much he missed them, longed for them his entire life.
No he will do anything, absolutely anything to protect them, even if he has leave the love of his life, he would do it.

So he did it, he left Jungkook, he left the love of his life and made him believe that he didn't love him anymore.
