"You don't have to follow me here too....You can leave" The princess said to him softly. They were in front of the crown prince's room. She wanted to have a small talk with him before he left. Taehyung understood her indirect request for privacy and nodded his head. He bowed before dragging his feet away from her.
He explored through long hallways and huge gates of the beautiful white palace as he walked towards his destination. He walked past the almost unreal garden filled with white flowers of different kinds, a fountain and swan shaped marble bench. It reminded him a lot of Jennie. But he didn't let his thoughts distract him from his path.
After a long walk and what felt like ages, he stood a little far from the huge arched rusted metal door. Unlike the palace which was filled with colours, flowers, water etc, the prison was poorly coloured, with insects crawling on the metal doors frame. The prison was closer to the ocean compared to the actual palace. It looked creepy and Taehyung had an instant second thought of his actions.
There stood two guards on either end of the door. They held a pike in one hand. Taehyung picked a few stones from the ground and aimed it in the direction of the ocean. The sound of multiple stones dropping in water caught the guards off-guard. They assumed it was either a person sneaking in through water ways or an attack by tribes nearby. Both of them ran in the direction of sound.
They separated their ways to check the area thoroughly for any significant danger. Taehyung tiptoed his way towards the door quietly. He quietly unlocked the latch lock and slid inside the prison. The inside of the prison was almost like a cave. There was barely any light except the ones from the flames of the torch and very small windows with bars in each cell.
There were people sleeping, sitting in the corner, crying or screaming. Many looked as dead as a corpse. Their cheeks sunken in their bone structure and their limbs barely had any flesh on them. His eyes glanced left and right as he searched for her. He felt a sudden grip on his right leg. He looked down, startled, at the pair of hands that passed through the bar and held his leg tightly. He looked at the face of the man behind the bars. His eyes were red and his face stained with tears. His clothes were torn apart badly.
"I beg you. Please let me go. I'll serve you forever. Please" He cried out. Taehyung wiggled his leg to get it out of the man's grip. Finding it hard to do so due to the man's tight grip, he sighed and squatted down. The man looked up at his face and let go of his leg and rubbed his palms. "I beg you. Please. I have an eight year old daughter. I can't leave her with my wife. She'll hit my daughter. Let me out. Please. I would never steal again."
Taehyung bit his lower lip as he felt bad for the man. He didn't know what made the other steal but he for sure knew that he couldn't let him out. He didn't have the keys with him either. However, he felt bad for the daughter. He has always been fond of kids. Even the child of a criminal doesn't deserve any kind of hatred or punishment for their parents' actions. He sighed and spoke calmly to the man "Look. I can't let you out..." but the other pleaded to him non-stop.
