The Royal Husband (taynew fanfic)

Shattered Dreams

King Alexander: "TAY! What in the name of all that is sacred do you think you are doing?"

Tay recoiled at the intensity of his father's wrath, his own heart heavy with guilt.

Tay: "Father, I... I was only trying to—"

But King Alexander's patience had worn thin, his temper flaring like a wildfire as he delivered a harsh reprimand.

King Alexander: "SILENCE! Your reckless actions have brought shame upon our family and our kingdom. You will obey my orders, do you understand?"

Tay's resolve crumbled under the weight of his father's anger, his shoulders slumping in defeat as he reluctantly acquiesced to his command.

Tay: "Yes, Father."

With a heavy heart, Tay watched as his father ordered the guards to escort him back to the palace, his dreams of freedom and happiness slipping through his fingers like grains of sand. And as he trudged back through the forest, the weight of his failure bearing down upon him, Tay couldn't help but wonder if he would ever find a way to mend the shattered pieces of his broken dreams.

King Sebastian Castle:

King Sebastian: "ENOUGH, NEW! Your games END here."

With a single gesture, King Sebastian signalled to the guards, who swiftly surrounded New and escorted him away from the courtyard.

New's protests fell on deaf ears as he was led to a secluded room, the heavy door slamming shut behind him with a resounding thud.

New: "Father, let me out! This is madness!"

But King Sebastian remained unmoved, his eyes closed as he took a deep breath, his demeanor one of controlled composure.

King Sebastian: "NEW! Your reckless actions have consequences. It's time you faced reality."

As New's fists pounded against the unyielding door, a heavy silence settled over the room, broken only by the echo of his own desperation. Just as King Sebastian prepared to reprimand his son, a gentle touch on his shoulder caused him to pause. Turning, he met the understanding gaze of his eldest daughter, Fah, who nodded silently, her expression conveying both empathy and resolve.

With a sigh of resignation, King Sebastian stepped back, allowing Fah to take charge. Placing her hand on the door, Fah's voice was soft yet firm as she addressed her troubled brother from the other side.

Fah: "New, please, calm yourself. I understand your frustration, I truly do."

New's frantic movements stilled at the sound of his sister's voice, aglimmer of hope flickering within him as he listened intently.

Fah: "I know what it feels like to have your future decided for you."

As Fah's words reached him, New's heart softened, the realization dawning that he was not alone in his struggles. With a shaky breath, he pleaded with his sister through the barrier that separated them.

New:"P'Fah, please... I can't stay here. I won't accept this fate."

Fah's heart ached for her brother, knowing all too well the weight of duty and expectation that bore down upon them as members of the royal family. But despite her own inner turmoil, she knew that she had to be the voice of reason for New, to help him see the path forward through the tangled web of tradition and obligation.

Fah: "I understand, New. But running away won't solve anything. We must face our responsibilities, no matter how daunting they may seem."

As Fah's words sank in, a sense of resignation washed over New, his shoulders slumping as he reluctantly accepted the truth of her words. And as the night wore on, brother and sister found solace in each other's presence, drawing strength from the unbreakable bond that united them, even in the face of adversity.
