Kim Seokjin, the head general of the army.

Taehyung stepped outside from the royal horse carriage, parked outside in the secret chamber, nested amid the forest. His faced laced with concern as he desperately looked at Seokjin, the head general of the army.

"What happened?" Taehyung aksed in curious voice, "Why did you send your man and asked me to visit this secret chamber?"

"Your majesty!" Seokjin began, "I apologized for bothering you at midnight, but the issue was quite serious, I had left no choice besides to invite you here secretly." He said.

"What's the matter?" Taehyung asked.

Seokjin gestured his hands, "Why don't you check by yourself?" He suggested, dragging himself aside.

Taehyung raised his brows, a heavy sigh escaped his lips, as he observed Seokjin's concerned face.
Although, Kim Seokjin was a young commander, but he was a man who could not just solve problems, but Taehyung could considered his friend.

"Let me see what happened?" Taehyung said. His curiosity reached at it's peak as, hesitantly, Taehyung approached the secret chamber, a tall tower stood high, lit with the dim yellow lights of the lamps.

The late king Kim Taejon had build this chamber for all his secret meetings with women. However, Taehyung had stopped using this chamber for any of the personal use because of the grudge he always had regarding his father, for abandoning his mother.

As Taehyung arrived closer to the chamber, he recalled all the cruelty his father had shown towards him and to his mother. He still remembered that even in the last time, when previous king, Kim Taejon, spent his time on his dead bed, he still claimed that Taehyung would never be a successful king, as Taehyung resembled his mother's emotions.

The guard bowed respectfully, opened the large wooden door. Walking through the narrow hallway, Taehyung approached the wooden cage, another guard stood inside, pulled the rope and dragged the wooden cage up to the top floor. After few minutes of struggle, Taehyung arrived into the top floor, he headed to the room, then pushed the door opened.

Min Yoongi, the royal physician.

Jimin lay unconscious on the bed, his pale face and dried lips, defined the pain he felt throughout his journey from the Thaloria to Velaris. Min Yoongi, the royal physician, sat at the chair placed near the bed, carefully dressing his wounds.

Taehyung stared at Jimin in utter bewilderment. Even in his battered state, Jimin still seemed the most stunning man Taehyung had ever seen. His beauty shone through the bruises and exhaustion, soft belly, milky white skin and long sleek silver hair, leaving Taehyung amazed that someone so worn down could still be so captivating.

"Your majesty!" Yoongi began, he stood up in respect, "We started his treatment without your permission, but we couldn't waisted any further time, since his condition was worst." He explained.

"Don't mind me, continue to treat him." Taehyung commanded.

Seokjin stepped inside the room, " I'm the one who found this guest, so I take the full responsibility." He said in a calm manner, "I know allowing someone from north to step in our city is forbidden, but when I saw him, he was barely able to breath."

Taehyung hummed in return, he pondered over Jimin, deeply observed his condition. Yoongi in the meantime, settled himself back on the chair and began the treatment again. Whilst, Taehyung shifted his attention on Seokjin, who stood before him, feeling the burden of guilt to help a forbidden creature from the north.

"You made a right choice, Hyung-nim." Taehyung answered, "When it's about someone's life, we should expressed our humanity." He said.

"I'm glad you appreciated my choice." Seokjin said.

"Where did you found him?" Taehyung asked curiously.

"Your majesty!, We find him in the border of Luminiara sea, our Officers who were on duty captured his boat, he was unconscious but his boat was moving on its own. I believed he traveled from Thaloria to Velaris through the ocean route, few days ago, as his wounds were roughly dressed and they were seeping blood, so I quickly brought him in this chamber, because it was closest spot, and invite our royal physician." Seokjin explained everything to Taehyung.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Asked Taehyung, observing the stressed etched across Seokjin's handsome face.

Seokjin looked at Yoongi, and they both seemed uncomfortable. Taehyung realized that something unexpected was about to be revealed. Of course, having someone from Thaloria was one of the rare incident that could bring chaos to the city, but Taehyung could clearly assume that Seokjin discovered something certainly could be a big concern for the people of Velaris.

"Your majesty! First we thought that he might belong to a Parker clan since he has silver hair, but when Yoongi checked his eyes, he found something unusual." Seokjin revealed.

"If he doesn't belong to the Parker clan then who he could be then?" Taehyung asked, frowned his brows.

"He do belongs to the Parker clan but." Seokjin exhaled a long breath, "He has purple eyes which means he's a hybrid of a witch and wolf, we're assuming that he's a son of Roohyang and something terrible happened with them." He said.

A deep, intense silence filled the room. Taehyung was unsure whether to feel grateful for the situation or worried. Having Roohyang's son, a hybrid, in Velaris could be the greatest disaster the people had ever faced. However, the truth was that, only Jimin could protect Velaris from the mysterious illness that swallowed many lives, a curse casted by Roohyang.
