Empire of Storms

Chapter Four

From the first step Yoongi took out of the woods, he could see the huddle of guards talking outside of the castle. He could only imagine that the prince was having a wild private party involving excessive drinking and unrestrained sexual activity. It happened once. He looked up to the prince's room. The big balcony was completely empty, same as the visible part of the room.
It was his chance.
Yoongi wore loose clothes. His beige coat reached his feet, a faded blue cotton waistcoat hid the upper part of his grey shaggy pants. He also wore a beanie. All of those together made him look like an elf in the middle of the forest.
Much like most of royal buildings, the castle was made of stone, so the gaps made it easy for someone like Yoongi to climb.
He checked before entering the room. Empty.
The room was wide, with a heavy wooden bed and desk. It had many details in gold and red.
"Rich people" Yoongi frowned. The first thing he touched was a jewelry box. It was small, made of silver and gold, heavy and probably filled. The idea of it made Yoongi's entire body shiver.
"Are you sure?" He heard a deep voice on the other side of the door.
"Of course" a thin, silvery voice answered. "Your Majesty wanted me to be safe, general."
As soon as the doorknob moved, Yoongi managed to drop the box on the carpet and hide under the bed. There was no way he could've escaped in time.
"I'll be with the prince, Mr. Park" A tall man said, to what a black haired man with big lips only nodded in response. The door was closed.
"Idiot" the man whispered "Let's see"
Mr. Park walked around the room, dragging his hands on the furniture. It didn't take him long to find the jewelry box laying on the carpet. Yoongi observed as the other's hand reached for the box. He knew that if he lost that box he wouldn't have another chance to get it back. By instinct, he grabbed Mr. Park's wrist and pulled him to the ground. Yoongi's hand shut the other's mouth just before he could scream for help.
"Don't try and steal from a thief, Sir." He said before knocking Mr. Park out.
Yoongi held the box tightly and ran to the balcony. Before climb down, he glanced once again to his unconscious opponent and couldn't hide the proud smile on his face.
