Dancing with the devil | Taekook | Vkook

Chapter one.

Centuries ago, a great seer foresaw a time when the human and infernal realms would collide, threatening to tear the very fabric of existence apart.

The only way to avert this catastrophe was through the union of a pure-hearted human and a devil of noble blood.

Together, their combined essence would stabilize the rift between their worlds, preventing the prophesied chaos.

For years, Taehyung's family had kept this prophecy a closely guarded secret, knowing that the chosen one would be born from their line.

Taehyung, from a young age, had been groomed for this destiny without his knowledge, his every step guided towards this fateful day.

The dire predicament that had forced Taehyung into this binding was a brewing war, a prelude to the prophecy's fulfillment.

Devils, sensing the instability between the realms, had grown bolder, their incursions into the human world becoming more frequent and devastating.

The king and queen, desperate to protect their kingdom and their people, had sought counsel from the ancient texts and the wisest sages.

It became clear that the only way to prevent the impending doom was to fulfill the prophecy through Taehyung's union with Jungkook.

The binding was not just a marriage; it was a merging of their powers and destinies, creating a balance that would hold the worlds together.

In a tense negotiation, they struck a deal, in exchange for peace, they would hand over Taehyung and his formidable power to their adversaries.

It was a sacrifice that weighed heavily on their hearts, but they deemed it necessary for the greater good.

The royal chambers were dimly lit, casting long shadows across the opulent room. Rich tapestries adorned the walls, and the scent of incense filled the air.

Queen Arin stood by the large window, her elegant gown trailing behind her. She turned as her son, Prince Taehyung, entered the room.

Queen Arin rushed to Taehyung, her eyes filled with worry. She cupped his face gently in her hands, searching his eyes for reassurance.

"Taehyung, my dear son, you must reconsider. The devil's kingdom is no place for you. I cannot bear the thought of you in such danger. I cannot leave you alone there."

Taehyung placed his hands over his mother's, his expression calm and resolute. "Mother, I understand your fears, but I must do this. The alliance with the devil's kingdom is crucial for the peace of our kingdom. If I don't go, who will? You must believe in me."

Queen Arin's voice trembled as she spoke, "But what if something happens to you? How will I live knowing I let you go into the heart of darkness?"

Taehyung smiled softly, trying to soothe her fears. "I am stronger than you think, Mother. I have been trained for this, if I won't give them what they want, they won't leave our kingdom alive."

Tears welled up in Queen Arin's eyes. "Taehyung, you are my only son. The kingdom needs you, but I need you more."

Taehyung embraced his mother tightly, holding her as if to impart his strength to her. "I promise I will return, Mother. And when I do, it will be with a stronger alliance that will ensure our kingdom's safety for generations. Trust in me, as you always have. I need your strength now more than ever."
