Prince's Sleep | Taegyu ✔︎

•Chapter I:Parent's stupid ideas•

A knock out of the door made Beomgyu stand up from his bed,blinking in a chance that he would wake up.He stretched lazy before going,answering the door.In front of him,a young lady was standing with a smile on her face and with a serving tray in her hands,she smiled brightly at him.

"Good morning,Prince Beomgyu!I' sorry for waking you up,but I wanted to inform you that the breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes."

Beomgyu nodded with a 'thank you' before shutting the door as when the lady was gone.He signed and after,he throwed himself on the bed.If his parents found out that he hasn't arrived yet at the breakfast table,they we're going to send soldiers to search him.Beomgyu's parents we're always this strict and worrying about simple things.They are keep strict only to him.His brother,Yeonjun,is going to take the throne today and the entire Kingdom will listen to his boring rules.That's what Beomgyu thought,but he always knowed that Yeonjun is capable for this role more than nothing,and he deserved it.

Quickly,he dressed up in an elegant suit,with a pair of black-grey shoes,that he liked it.With a short look at the mirror,he rushed between the palace walls.His mother always told him that in the palace is forbidden to run,but Beomgyu,didn't cared that much.When he was young,he always wanted to do what he wanted.He even made a lot of jokes and pranks to the servants and even his brother was done with it.Anyway.The palace walls were in a tone of wine red with a lot of pictures in frames.And everywhere,you could saw with a free eye the armor and sculptures that ofcourse,he wasn't allowed to touch either.

Beomgyu was so sick of his life.He wanted to be free like the kids in the town,to play in the mud,to catch insects and analize them.He didn't knowed what kind of things does the kids in the town were doing but most of those were his favorite.His mother usually didn't allow him to get outside of the palace,limited to the gardens.And the most important thing that Beomgyu hated the most,was that he wasn't allowed to talk to someone,without her or his father permission.Really?Beomgyu didn't understand why you need permission to talk to someone?!Jesus,his mother is really inexplicable.But most of the rules,ofcourse Beomgyu always broke them.

"You're late..."

A voice spoke as when Beomgyu reached the table,and fast,he apologised.

"I'm sorry,father.I woke up late."

"And could you tell me WHY did I hear some rushing steps?What I've told you about running in the palace?!"her mother was extremely upset.

"Aish.Come on!It will not going happen again,right Beomgyu?"Yeonjun stooped the two and looked at Beomgyu. Hopefully, he will understand.

Beomgyu just nodded,hoping that their parents would forget him.Their parents just pointed at the food,making him a signal that he can start eating.Beomgyu,ofcourse was eating in a rush and her mother was going to stood up from her seat but the king dragged her to sat.There were few minutes of silence,before the king cleared his troat,in a sign that he wanted to spoke.All eyes were on him,curious.

"So,today in the evening is going to be Yeonjun's coronation."Everyone,inclusive Beomgyu, were listening carefully."Aproximately,all the Kingdom people's and royals from each Kingdom will be present in the ball room,inclusive us."

He glared at Beomgyu,and his face turned serious and cold.A wave of emotions hit Beomgyu's body.

"This coronation is extremely important to-"

The kings words were interrupted by a noise made by the cutlery.Beomgyu was making music by hitting a fork and a spoon on a glass.He punched the table,and Beomgyu froze up,looking embarrassed by his father angry glare.Beomgyu put the cutlery down and he straightened his body and corrected his position on the chair.Yeonjun was trying to hold back his laugh.

"As I said... This coronation is extremely important to represent our family,giving peace and safety to our people.And I want all of you to act like real royalties!"When the king spoke the last words,Beomgyu knowed that he was referring to him.

The king straightened his position and continued his words without getting away his death glare from Beomgyu.

"In this morning,the Kang Family from Earth Kingdom is going to visit and they will stay at us for approximate one month,after Yeonjun's coronation."

"Wait what?!The Kang Family?!"Beomgyu was confused.

"Yes,is a problem with that?"His mother raised a brown.

"Why do they need to stay here?In a month it will be my birthday!"

"And?You can celebrate it later,the motive from why are they coming is that we have some problems to resolve,in private.And the answer for this problem is going to take more time."

"Why tho?You can't sent them letters or what?"

"Beomgyu,letters are taken too much time to deliver."Yeonjun tried his best to make Beomgyu understand.

Beomgyu signed in frustration and stood from his seat,heading to the exit door,with a pouted face.On the moment when Beomgyu was ready to leave the breakfast room,the king stooped him.Beomgyu stopped and looked at his father,sadly.

"And,don't you think you will do what you want when we will talk.Your behavior needs to calm down.That's why,Ms.Lee is going to give you the best discipline."

Beomgyu widened his eyes but he didn't said nothing.

"Also,you will be overseen by Soobin."

"But-"

"No buts!You aren't behaving like a royal at your age and all those things needs to end!"

"Father is right,Beomgyu.Please understand.It's for your safety."Yeonjun spoke,trying to make Beomgyu understand.

Beomgyu didn't moved,staying still as a stone.But suddenly,a wave of emotions hit him hard as a rock.He didn't wanted all of these.Why are his parents acting like this?Why are they so strict about everything?All he wanted is freedom,but when those things are going to happen,all the good thoughts are going to dissappear like leafs in the cold,translucency wind.Soobin was an appropriate friend of Beomgyu.He started living with the servants and his mother like some years ago.He and his mother were found in a fired place and the soldiers save their life.

"I-I,uhhgg!"Beomgyu didn't cared about what Yeonjun said and shut the door in front of his family.

The king signed and the queen put her hand on his,calming him down.

"You know how is Beomgyu..."Yeonjun said,looking at his father."He doesn't know the truth,of course he will never understand.But all of those things are for keeping him safe."

"I know,Yeonjun,I know.But his 20th anniversary is in about a month.What are we going to do?The witch curse is going to happen,and we both are going to loose him."

"From now,Beomgyu didn't seemed in having any romance interest to anyone,so the curse is probably not going to happen if we are going to avoid it."The queen tried her best to confort her husband.

"I appreciate that you are trying to confort me,but I know the witch...her curses cannot be broken..."
