Royal Gayness || Chanbaek au

Chapter 1

The king rushed into the queen's room, angry. 

"When were you going to tell me?" He asked.

The queen raised an eyebrow at his sudden entrance. "Hello dear." Her tone was sarcastic and mocking. She knew exactly why he was upset.

"Are you mental? How could you do that?"

The queen shrugged, "You of all should know your son. He needs this protection." 

The king scoffed, "That is garbage. You are not providing him protection. You are just making him weak.You saw how he was 12 years ago."

The queen rolled her eyes, annoyed at her husband. "Need I remind you that you yourself said this would happen. Are you taking back your word now that the time comes?"

Instinctively, the king raised his hand, prepared to strike.

Both heads turn to the door however, when it opened. The king immediately dropped his hand and plastered a fake smile on his face. As did the queen.

Her maids now stood at the entrance bowed, waiting for permission to enter. 

"Come in, I need to be dressed." the queen said, letting the king know that their conversation was over. 

"I will see you later, dear." The king dismissed himself with fake kindness to his wife.

"Hello Prince Baekhyun, I am Chanyeol." 

Chanyeol frowned to himself in the mirror and shook his head. That was a bad introduction.

"Good evening Prince Baekhyun, I am your long lost bestfriend Yeol." Chanyeol tried again. Dang. That was bad too.

At this rate, Chanyeol would never be ready to face the prince later on. 

"Miss me? I'm your new bodyguard."

Chanyeol heard laughter and turned around to find Chen red in the face, finding Chanyeol amusing.

For the past twelve years, Chanyeol had been attending Knight Academy, where he trained constantly to be a fit knight. Chanyeol quickly became known as the top student and intimidated others easily with his towering height and his always serious expression. Rarely ever would he skip class or hang out with the other knights, refusing to rest until he was qualified to become the personal knight of his royal. Chanyeol was a legend in Knight Academy.

To see said legend practicing in front of a mirror how he would introduce himself to the prince was a golden sight. 

"I say go with the last one. He'll definitely love that one." Chen said, still laughing.

Chanyeol silently left the room and headed towards the exit of the academy. There waited his horse and headmaster, who sat upon his own horse.

Chanyeol nodded at the man who trained him since he was a boy. Both were not one for talking, but he had become the closest thing Chanyeol had as a parent. The headmaster nodded back.

Chanyeol mounted his horse and strapped his bags.

When he was ready to leave, he signalled towards his father figure, who would be riding with him to the castle.  Both men kicked their horse's side and rode off towards the castle, where Chanyeol's prince waited.

"Baek! Play please?" 

"Min Ah, it is 'play with me please'." Baekhyun corrected Min Ah, his ten year old sister.

She simply grinned at him before tugging on his hair harshly, and Baekhyun scowled at her in pain. 

Min Ah was born with down syndrome, and Baekhyun's parents hid her from the world. The queen's pregnancy had been public, and the whole country had eagerly waited the new prince or princess, but the king took one look at her face and ordered her to be hidden away.
