The Enemy Prince, Volume Two: Our Enemy King, A Namjin FF

Chapter Five

Friday: The Castle Entrance, 8 am, Jin's POV:

- You, Yoongi, and Jimin had all just said goodbye to Namjoon and Taehyung. You were holding Yoonsun and had made his little hand wave to the carriage as it pulled away down the gravel drive. Namjoon leaving made you incredibly sad, but at least you had your son to keep you company.

- Namjoon was dropping Taehyung off at Kai's palace along the way, since you wanted someone to go over all your plans with him. Kai and Taehyung had become very good friends, and Kai was now one of your main allies. Once he heard what happened at the breakfast meeting, he had taken your side over Sehun's without a moment's hesitation.

- Ravi was back, acting as Namjoon's 'stand-in', and he was waiting behind you with Jaebum and Jaehwan. They were all being uncharacteristically quiet this morning. But you weren't really in the mood to puzzle out why. At least they weren't bickering.

- Once the carriage was out of sight, you hugged Yoonsun tightly against you and turned away, walking past your guards and back into the castle. Yoonsun had decided to wake up around 4am today, so it was time he had a nap.

- You quickly put him to bed in his nursey, and he fell asleep almost instantly, before you made your way to the kitchen. Your guards trailed behind you in silence, but you ignored them. You knew they were hiding something from you, and it hurt you deeply.

- They stayed by the door as you took your time, cooking yourself a nice breakfast and then sat at the counter, eating by yourself. You hated eating alone, but Jimin and Yoongi had work things to do, and you couldn't help them. You didn't know enough about war.

- Once you cleaned up, you decided to just spend the morning reading until the other two were finished. They had promised to go into town with you for lunch, and you were looking forward to it.

- When you reached the library, Jaehwan pulled the door open for you, but you didn't look at him as you walked inside. A few days ago, you had remembered where you had seen Ravi before.

- He had been the guard kissing Jaehwan in his office the day Sehun's letter arrived six months ago. You might not be with Jaehwan anymore, but you had been so close for 4 years, and thought of him as one of your best friends. Why would he not tell you who Ravi was to him?

- But if he didn't tell you, it must not be important. You walked to your favorite armchair and grabbed a random book before sitting down in silence, leaving your guards at the door.

- Just as you got comfortable, a familiar voice said, "Time to go," and then the room went black.

Time skip, The Carriage, 10 am, Namjoon's POV:

- You had just crossed the border into Kai's Kingdom, intending to drop Taehyung off first, when you heard the distinctive sound of someone riding up to the carriage. You could just make out Jackson's muffled voice outside, and then someone else's, before the door to the carriage was yanked open.

- "We need to go home, now!" Jackson said, looking and sounding panicked. "Why?! What happened? I've only been gone for two hours!" you replied, glancing at Taehyung before returning your attention to Jackson.

- "Jaebum is in intensive surgery, his throat was almost cut, Jaehwan and Ravi are unconscious, and King Jin is gone," Jackson said quickly, before ducking back out of the door.

- You felt the carriage start to turn, but you were so shocked that you hastily pushed the door open again and stuck your head out, looking up at Jackson as you shouted, "Excuse me?!"
