It's Chaos from here and we are approaching the end slowly..✌️

"What do you need? Did you come to lock me up too?" Mina asked sharply, her eyes narrowing as she spotted Sanjang standing at her chamber, she stood tall despite the weight of her sorrow.

Sajang shook his head, his gaze dropping to the floor "No but what I did...it was his orders, my queen..I m only a servent!!" he said softly, the shame in his voice evident

Mina let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head "You realize how insane he has become, don't you?" Her voice rose, in anger "You were there, Sanjang. You raised those kids alongside me...I considered you a brother rather than a servant....You saw those kids grow up, watched their triumphs and struggles. And now you stand here, ready to follow orders that will destroy them? How can you do this to them?" Her voice cracked

"My queen, please..." Sanjang pleaded, taking a hesitant step forward "I didn't know it would come to this. I thought... I thought it was just a simple matter of the prince trying to hide the pregnancy, trying to avoid scandal. I never imagined the king would take it this far " His voice trembled "That's why I'm here. I can't stand by his madness anymore. I have tried to stop him, I have tried to talk sense into him, but he never listens. You have to intervene. Call the council... do something before it's too late"

Mina's eyes bore into his, confusion etching her features. She knew there was something behind all this that neither her husband nor Sanjang was telling her "Where is he?" she asked firmly

"He has gone to the mountains... left me in charge to see things. But... I leave it to you, my queen. You need to use your power now... before it's too late " The beta answered, bowing down

Her brows knitted in confusion "The mountains? What's there? Why does he keep talking about it so suddenly? "

Sanjang glanced over his shoulder, as if afraid someone might overhear. He lowered his voice. "I'm sworn to secrecy, my queen. But whatever he is planning, it's not good. If you are going to act, you must do it before he returns... or be prepared to stop him before he does something irreversible "

Mina's heart raced, the gravity of Sajang's words weighing heavily on her "The guards?"

"They won't let anyone do anything without a direct order from the king.." Sajang admitted, shaking his head. "You know how it is. The king's word is absolute and without it, the guards won't dare allow anyone to reverse his orders "

Mina's jaw tightened. She wasn't going to let this madness continue. She wasn't going to let her family fall apart under the king's tyranny...

"Then we'll find another way.." she said, and turned away from Sanjang, already formulating a plan in her head. If the guards were loyal to the king, she would have to find others who valued the kingdom more than blind obedience. Whatever it took, she would protect her children

"What do you mean he is pupped?" Hoseok demanded, his voice sharp with disbelief. His gaze flicked between Taehyung and his mate, who was standing there frozen, lips parted as if the words had stolen his ability to breathe.

Jin blinked...his mind struggling to process the revelation. "Oh my god..." he whispered, sinking onto the couch. His hands shook against his swollen belly.. "He is... he's really?"he mumbled, all the events from the day he caught Taehyung in Yoongi's room flashing in front of him

Taehyung exhaled a heavy breath "Yoongi is carrying my child... we slept together ..yes!!" he admitted in a shaky voice. His fists clenched at his sides, knuckles turning pale with the tension. "And now king has locked him up along with Jungkook and Jieun after learning the news.... That's what it means. And I'm leaving... now... to get my Yoongi and my pup back here. Back where they belong..."
