King of his heart - Jikook ☑️

26

Hell broke down loose when Jungkook received the final results of all the investigation. He didn't waste another second taking action.

Yoongi, as one of his superior, already gave him full power to proceed with the arrest of Hyunwoo as soon as he received it. The king and queen were also informed of the matter with all evidence found and they'd also given the permission to proceed though with orders to avoid a fight and bring Hyunwoo silently.

Jungkook was filled with rage. His wolf wanted to rip of the heads of all those involved in attacking Jimin, especially the one who'd ordered it. But he was forced to keep calm and stay composed by Yoongi.

"Father what is he talking about?" Haejoon asked his father.

"Go back to work Haejoon,"

"No father, what is this thorn rebels he's talking about?" His son pushed further. " There's no way that's true right? You taught me about honour, there's no way everything he's spouting is true?"

"We have immediate orders to arrest him. Nothing further can be said or done until court trials," One of Jungkooks Knight stepped forward. "Move aside please," He directed it to Haejoon with cuffs and blindfold.

"No my father would do no such things,"

"Haejoon... Stop. Go back to work and take care of your grandmother," He turns to Jungkook "I'll go with you, so dont do anything to my son,"

"He's clear of suspicion," Jungkook responds. The knight puts Hyunwoo's hands in the cuffs and the blindfold over his eyes.

"Father!" Haejoon called as the the knights exited their house dragging his dad into a carriage.

Jungkook's hands itched to break every bone in Hyunwoo's body, make him bleed and torture him slowly but not kill him. He wasn't ever this violent, but when it came to Jimin. His protective nature completely takes over and he looses all sense of rationality. If it wasn't for the general keeping him in check, he might have already done everything he imagined.

"Don't get too ahead of yourself captain," Hyunwoo rolled his eyes. . "but you did manage to catch me, I guess I'll give you credits for that,"

"If you were ready to get your son on the thrown by any means why come for the challenge?"

The man sighed. "My son got too confident and decided to do this the honourable way since I told him the story of some hero when he was younger. I thought it'd work in my favour to cover myself while gaining something more to live of by. But clearly it had backfired on me,"

"You wanted to kill an innocent life for the throne?"

"You'll realise when you have children, just how far you could go to give them a life you couldn't have,"

Jungkook stared at him with his fist tightly wrapped around his sheathed sword incase the man tried anything. It didn't make sense to him though, even if he wanted a better life for his son, all they had to do was show up. The royals would have taken them in after their claims were proven right.

"I grew up physically weak. But I made sure it wasn't the same for my son or tried to. Started collecting people who didn't like the royal family and wanted a change in the kingdom...I promised that change. And they promised allegiance. For years, we were building our forces, strengthening them with any means necessary and planning... We would have reached our goal if it wasn't for you coming in between, "

Jungkook gritted his teeth, eyes burning with anger.

"Careful now. If you say anymore, I won't stop him from killing you," Yoongi peeks an eye open.

Hyunwoo felt startled at the sudden voice. He didn't know there was someone else there with him and Jungkook. He didn't feel a third presence at all. Nonetheless he scowled but kept quiet rest of the ride to the dungeons. Which showed that he did have fear of his life.

"How dare you try to harm my son!" The king roared. His dominant pheromones spreading like wildfire across the entire throne room. It had most of the wolves in the room hang their heads low in submission.

Hyunwoo, a regular alpha, fell to his knees at such intensity of the angry pheromones, hands and legs tied up in chains.

"His magesty had been thinking to build a small castle on the east of the kingdom for you and your family. And this is how you repay him?" The queen added.

"w-what?" Hyunwoo's eyes widen as he shot his head up. He thought he was an outcast in the royal family, that his existence would earn their hate. So this was beyong shocking. He looked at Jungkook who was standing at his side.

"That's correct. His magesty wanted to give his brother a nice home to stay after finding out where you'd been living all these years from our investigations. He had a meeting with some of our best architectures in the capital some days before suspicion rose upon you, "

" W-why? We never met before. I wanted take the throne for my son, "

"Isn't it simple?" Yoongi raised an eyebrow from his other side. "You are the younger brother of his magesty,"

Hyunwoo eyes widens even more if what was possible. He starts thinking of all his actions, regret kicking in faster than he'd ever imagined. This isn't the way he thought his trial would go. He didn't know his brother had such kind intentions. He didn't even know his brother had considered him family despite the selfish intentions he'd come with.

"Enough, that no longer matters," The king's hands were tightly in fists. "Even if you claim guilty, I won't allow your sentence to reduce. I may be kind but not merciful. You tried to hurt one of my sons. And you shall live the rest of your life regretting for ever making that choice,"

"I'm sorry," Hyunwoo's head was on the floor, crying. He knew his apologies were too late. He knew it wasn't worth it. But he couldn't stop himself from chanting the apologies. He'd hurt the one person that wanted good for him and his family. He'd ruined everything. All chances of ever becoming family. "I-I'll tell you everything. I'll order the rebels to stop,"

"Take all the information and throw him in the dungeons," The king orders sternly.

"Yes your magesty," Jungkook and Yoongi say and bow simultaneously.

"Your magesty. Please allow him to be visited by his son and mother once a week," Jimin requests, surprising everyone in the throne room. Hyunwoo even more so. After all, he was guilty for the attacks.

"Jimin-" the queen tries to interfere but prince just shakes his head.

"All this he did was for his family. His son will get a proper job and show him how well they do without any of this mess being needed. This way the regret and guilt will be doubled,"

That was just an excuse. Jimin just didn't want to be so cruel to not allow a prisoner to not see their family at least once in a while.

After Jungkook told him about Hyunwoo's story, he felt a little bad. Maybe he was too kind for his own good, but he didn't care. That's just who he was.

The king sighs, knowing his son's kind heart too well. "Jimin takes after you," His mate would always remind him.

"Allow them family visits once every two weeks," The king orders sternly. That wasn't what Jimin asked for but, he knew he would be pushing it if he asked for more.

Few more busy weeks pass with sorting out the thorn rebels. The rest of the hideouts, weapons dealers, everyone that was helping him, Hyunwoo revealed everything out of guilt. He also wrote hand written letters to order them to stop and let go of their hatred of the current royals. They aren't as bad as they'd thought. He explained the change they were looking for will come with their next kings.

Jimin and Jungkook are the change they need.
