✶ 01. Misunderstanding

• • •

"Honey! Today we are sending you with your guards to check on the black swan village downtown" The queen, Beomgyu's mother explained as she took a sip of her tea.

"What! But! Mother I don't want to go down there! It's a village of black swans!" Beomgyu whined, crossing his arms as he complained.
"Now, don't disobey your mother son, you know better than that, and don't act so childish you're not a kid anymore" His father added.

Beomgyu frowned, glaring at his dad before tearing his gaze from his parents, "fine."
Leaving the main room with irritation, Beomgyu's guards followed after him as they left the castle.
"He's such a little brat" his dad spoke up once him and his wife were alone with some maids.
"Mhm, that's our lovely swan..."

The Black Swan Village was just as it sounded cold, dark, and ominous. There were groups of different black swans outside the huge black palace. Some just sitting around, gossiping among themselves or others just playing around with one another. But all of them soon stopped once they heard the distant clopping of the guards horses.

The black swans in the distance whispered among themselves as they looked at the group of guards coming their way...and also to who was in between them. All of their eyes slowly widened as they immediately bowed in respect, knowing who it was.

Beomgyu stepped in front, looking around the village as a few guards stood by him while some were in there horses behind. Fixing his luxurious looking clothes and soft blonde curly hair, a judgemental stare was obvious on the white swan.
"Such trouble looking...things." Beomgyu muttered, before looking in front and starting to walk.

The black swans who were sitting just looked up watching the white swan walking past them. Judging his every movement as he walked with an obvious look of disgusted on his face. They didn't like the way the white swan talked and looked at them. One of the black swans stood up from the others let out a scoff.
"What a stuck up white swan" He muttered under his breath as the other black swans snickered with him.

"Excuse you!?" A guard shouted as he marched towards the swan, until a voice paused him.
"Stop, it's alright." Beomgyu spoke, looking over at the guard and the black swan.
A sudden sharp wave of pain passed through his head, making the white swan whine in pain as he held onto his head.
The guard looked over and quickly ran towards the white swan, holding him gently as the other guards quickly crowded the swan, concerned looks on their faces.

"Your highness! Are you okay!" A guard exclaimed in worry.
Beomgyu gave a slight nod, "I'm fine.."
All the black swans stared with widened eyes as the white swan suddenly held onto his head in pain before one of the guards rushed over to him and held him gently.

The black swans watched on silently as the guards crowded around the white swan. A swan with dark black hair in particular was more focused, watching the white swan like a hawk. His cold presence showed a hint of concern on his face as he looked on quietly. The black swans who were whispering among themselves suddenly stop as the one who has sharp honey brown eyes turned to the one with dark black hair.

"Yeonjun, why are you so worried for him?".
Yeonjun just remained quiet as he just looked forward. He wasn't sure why he was so worried, but the pain the white swan was holding was something Yeonjun felt too. He just silently watched as the other guards were checking on the white swan. All while the other black swans watched on in silence, not daring to speak.

After a few minutes the white swan seemed to recover. The guards who were surrounding him had calmed down, but still were keeping an eye on him. Some of the black swans in the distance just whispered among themselves once again.
"Of course he would show a weak presence..."
"So weak, I wonder how he's the young prince of the royal family..."

"You wouldn't like to know what it's like," Beomgyu voiced firmly, walking over towards the black swan who spoke up before giving him a stare, "I suggest to stay quiet you."
All the black swans around Beomgyu widened their eyes in shock at how the young prince just walked over to the one black swan and even went as far as to tell him to stay quiet. The black swan, in particular, held a smirk on his face, not being threatened by the words.
"And who says I won't talk huh? You don't scare me, pretty boy."

"DON'T FUCKING CALL ME THAT!" Beomgyu shouted before suddenly pouncing on the black swan, attacking him as he felt the adrenaline rush through him, not letting go of the swan as he hit, pulled, and strangled him down on the ground.

The other black swans gasped as the white swan that just seems so weak suddenly pounced and attacked the one black swan in particular. They just stood there, staring shocked as the two suddenly started to fight each other on the ground.
"Your highness! Please calm down!" One of the guards exclaimed as he rushed to the white swan, grabbing onto him, and trying to pull him off the black swan who was trying to block hits from the white swan prince.

After a few attempts they managed to pull Beomgyu off the black swan, the whites swan petite body now covered in dirt, he breathed heavily from exhaustion, keeping a sharp glare on the black swan.
"I'm not a pretty boy you worthless demonic swan! I HATE you! And your whole family! BURN IN HELL!" Beomgyu yelled out as he squirmed from his guards holding him down.

The black swan who was on the ground just kept his smirk as he coughed and sat up.
"You hate me and my whole family huh? Oh, it hurts oh so much pretty boy~" He spoke out sarcastically, earning a bunch of giggles from the black swans around them.
"It's a shame your guards are here to protect you, otherwise, I'd give you a small punishment to teach you a lesson. I'd love to see that body of yours pretty swan~" the black swan snickered.

Beomgyu fell silent, feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable by the black swans suggestive words towards him, the black swan looked older than him, it made the white swan scared and helpless.
"G-guards let's go. Now!" Beomgyu quietly spoke, covering himself around his exposed skin, keeping himself strong and composed.
The black swan slowly got off the ground, standing up and wiping the dirt and dust off of his clothes.

"Aww, are you leaving so soon already, pretty boy?" He spoke out with a smirk. "And here I was about to have so much fun with you. "I would have loved to play with you."
All the black swans around them started whistling and howling at his words, agreeing with the swan.

"Please stop.." Beomgyu whispered, "I hate hearing this again..."

Back at the castle Beomgyu entered the main room looking down as he kept quiet, wiping off some of the mud from his porcelain face.
The king and queen immediately walked over to him, looking at him up and down as they both frowned, seeing the dirt on his face.

"Beomgyu..what happened, you're all dirty," the queen spoke as she took hold of the white swan's face and held it up to face her. She looked at how he was looking down, a frown growing on her face from his attitude.
"It's nothing, mother.." Beomgyu muttered silently as he kept looking down.
The queen frowned once more, holding Beomgyu's face tight to make him look at her. Seeing him still looking down worried her even more.

"It's not nothing, you're all dirty, and why did you act so quiet when you came back with the guards," she said in a worried tone.
The king who was standing next to the queen also looked at Beomgyu in concern, looking at his dirty face and his body that was covered by his oversized clothes.

"Something happened at the village but it's fine, it's just a misunderstanding nothing so bad" Beomgyu explained with sarcasm, not saying anything else before leaving to his room with disrespect towards his parents.
The queen had a shocked look on her face as she heard Beomgyu's sarcastic response along with him leaving them behind to go to his room. She just stood there shocked, looking at her husband as they both seemed frozen.

"What's gotten into him.." The king muttered. Both of them stayed there in silence, just looking at each other as they worried about their son.
