royal blood

40 | other's blood in our veins.

sicheng felt as no other human was able to hear or see what he saw and heard as he sat down infront of his younger brother, who was handcuffed. he had never thought that his brother was capable of doing such thing and having the reaction of a complete maniac.

jungwoo let out a laugh the moment sicheng first walked into the dark room. it was a laugh of satisfaction, knowing that someone was so desperate to hear his story. jungwoo loved the idea of being heard, of being known by the world. he chased attention, and he loved to see his brother infront of him.

sicheng had never seen his brother like that. he was completely changed, his eyes displaying nothing but the cold blood of a murderer and his happiness of the act. he slowly shaked his head, unable to speak to the man that was standing infront of him. he tried to think of what to ask, of what to tell him, but words could not come out of his mouth.

" i never thought that the woman who i wanted to seduce would be able to figure out my hints. " jungwoo began speaking, as sicheng looked down. " i loved letting everyone know small hints about my act of murder, but if only i was heard by own siblings, then i would not have been caught so late. " he started laughing, as confusion took over sicheng's body.

" what has gotten into you ? what happend to the brother, to the lovely brother, i had ? jungwoo, who did this to you ? " sicheng asked, terror displayed all over his face. jungwoo, who continued to laugh, seemed to ignore the questions and continue acting insane. " jungwoo, you have to realise that you have gone completely insane. what lead you to do this ? "

" you do not know what i have gone through ! " jungwoo suddently yelled, hitting the table with his cuffed hands. sicheng flinched, before a small sigh escaped his mouth. he could not stand seeing his brother slowly go insane, as he had already lost himself. he wanted to hug jungwoo and let him know that everything would have been okay, if jungwoo was able to share his problems. " taeil only thought about the throne, you only thought about peace .. "

" because peace is what we need ! look what you have done, because you did not choose peace ! " sicheng yelled, as his blood boiled. " you have turned into a monster, into a man that never realises what he does ! " he got up, planning to leave, as he was not willing to hear jungwoo anymore. " you took someone's life ! " he yelled out for one last time.

" i took his brother's life aswell. " jungwoo said with a bright smile on his face, as sicheng looked around. he thought about taeyong, wondering if he had a brother. " do you not remember ? that resistance fighter, he was next to a journalist .. i tried to shoot the fighter, and instead shot the journalist. " he seemed to be proud by his action, scaring sicheng. " that was his brother. "

" you are a monster, jungwoo. please sit in prison and get over this stupidity you have. " sicheng let out a laugh, unable to figure out what he was telling his brother. " do you .. do you awknowledge that you killed not one, but two people ? jungwoo, i still do not understand why. because you were not listened ? is that a reason ? " he asked, as jungwoo looked away.

" please go away. " jungwoo suddently said, as tears rolled down his cheeks. " i was promised things, sicheng ! that is my reason ! " he got up, as both brothers were now standing and looking at eachother straight into their eyes. " i was promised things that were never given to me ! i wanted things that seemed nice .. and i was never given them. "

" who ? who told you ? who promised you, that lead you to murder a man ? " sicheng asked, as a police officer walked into the room. sicheng let out a sigh, realising that it was too late for jungwoo to answer now. sicheng had to leave, and he was unable to come back for some time, until he would be able to fully understand what jungwoo meant. " take care, jungwoo. "

" be careful of the lady you walk around the palace with. she might be the snake that bites you. "

" it is great to see you again, your majesty. " yuta bowed, as wendy smiled towards the man. he sat down on the chair infront of wendy's, as he took out a letter from his pocket. " this, i have tried to hide this from you, but i guess this is the perfect time for you. i was shocked to hear what baron jungwoo did to taeyong, who was a great friend of mine. "

wendy agreed with yuta. nobody thought that jungwoo was capable of murdering a man, that jungwoo was a monster that hid behind his innocent face. she looked at the letter yuta put down, wondering what yuta brought her. she held it up, questioning who it was from and why yuta gave it to her.

" this was a letter i found while searching around your brother's ouverport villa, two night before he was killed. he was out somewhere, and i was told by sooyoung's father to investigate his house. " yuta let out a sigh, " it was written by baron jungwoo, for your brother. i was shocked to read those words on the paper. "

"               dear prince doyoung,

      ah, i feel insane writing such thing to you, but i can not keep this to myself. i need to share this with someone, and you are quite the perfect person. however, do not question what i am about to write down, because even i do not know what to do.
      i have something very important to tell you, and i hope that you are able to understand what i will say !
      your sister, your dear sister wendy, she has made my heart beat so fast, i can not even explain it. whenever i see her in the newspaper, or whenever i need to come to ceham, i think about her and her beauty.
      i hope you do not find this weird, but i wish to see her and spend my time around her all the time. i want to hold her hand and tell her how much i love her, how much i want to be with her.
      i want to marry her. i want to see myself with her for the rest of my life, and i hope to do so. i want to kiss her each morning, to forget about my worries and love her until i die.    

with all respect,
baron jungwoo.                "

yeri did not expect to be met with an old woman infront of the palace. the woman, who was wearing all-black, introduced herself as lee taeyong's mother. yeri tried her best to explain to the woman that wendy was not home, until she saw her sister walking up to them.

" your majesty ! " mrs. lee yelled out, as she dropped on her knees. " is it true what i have heard ? that my son has been murdered by baron jungwoo ? " the woman cried out, as wendy slowly nodded. yeri pulled the woman into a hug, as she wiped off her tears. " my son .. my dear son, he was all i had after mark died .. " she continued to cry, as voice was heard behind them.

" he murdered both of your sons. " sicheng stood infront of them, as all women widened their eyes.
