Taehyung's POV

I tapped my foot impatiently waiting for Jimin and my father to return. 'I should find something to entertain myself'

I decided to go check on the princess to see if she has woken up yet. As I got closer to her cell, I heard heavy breathing.

I finally make it to her cell to her curled up into a ball in the corner, hyperventilating.

I forgot. She not only needs the atmosphere to be cold in order for her powers to work, but she also needs it to live. Wait a minute. How is she going to survive being held captive in our kingdom?

I need to come up with a way to help her so she doesn't end up dying on this ship. I kneel down so I can make eye contact with her.

"If I lower the temperature in here a little bit...will you promise to not try to kill me?"

She nodded slowly with her eyes have closed. I realized she was slowly losing consciousness. With a bit of urgency, I put my hands in the air as I make the room slightly cooler. I stood of my feet as I dusted of my pants. I glance at the princess once more to notice streak marks of dried tears on her face.

I turn around and make my way to the door. 

"Your wolf is on the ship and she is being cared for." I said trying to lift her spirits. I didn't dare turn around to see her reaction. With that, I make my way back up to the deck.

I walk across the deck to see some of the soldiers carrying a box above their shoulders. Then I see Jimin hyung walking behind them.

"Hyung? What's going on? What's in the box?" Jimin looked at me with his face showing no emotion. 

"It's Father. The queen killed him."

My breath hitched. "W-what??"

"He's dead Taehyung. We are taking him home to give him a proper burial."

Tears started to pour from my face. I wiped my face quickly to ask Jimin a question. "So where is the queen?"

"She dead too. I killed her." I stood there in shock as Jimin walked away. 

Jimin, killed the queen? Jimin has never taken anyone's life. In my opinion, he is the most selfless person on this planet.

I walked over to the guards. "Is it true? Did my brother really kill the queen?"

"Yes your highness. He blasted her right through a window...right after she stabbed your father." The ending of his sentence angered me. I stormed off towards the princess' cell.

This was all her fault.

Y/N's POV

I was able to make a little bit of ice to cool myself down. But just as I was starting to get a little comfortable, the temperature started to rise.

I frowned as the ice melted right in my hands. I got startled when fire started surrounding inside of my cell.

I heard the cell door open but, the brightness of the fire prevented me from seeing anything. I started to back up as I saw a dark silhouette emerge from the fire coming closer to me. My back hit the wall and it started to burn.

I quickly got off of it bumping into the stranger in front of me. They roughly grabbed my wrists and started to burn them. My vision focused for a second so I was able to see who was doing this to me.

My eyesight blurred from my tears. It was the prince. The one that helped me earlier. Why was he now hurting me?

I started screaming from the pain and kicked him in his stomach. He let go immediately and fell backward, while holding his stomach. Tears continued to stream down my face as I tried to heal myself.

I was able to create water from the steam in the air to help heal my wrists. He regained his strength quickly and got up.

"You planned it! This was all your fault! You knew she was going to kill him!" He screamed at me. What was he talking about?

"What?" You asked confused.

"Oh don't try it. I'm not here to play your games." He threatened as he lit his hand on fire. I stared at his hand in fear.

"Please...I really don't know what you are talking about."

"Stop lying!"

"I'm not!" 

I screamed back now irritated. He just stared at me. I could tell I caught him off guard by my sudden outburst. 

"Who was killed?" I ask worriedly. I saw his eyes start to water but he held back his tears.

"My father. Your mother killed him."

"What?!" I said as my voice cracked. "Where is my mother??" The prince scoffed at my question.

"She's dead too." He answered with a smirk on his face. 

"Guess we both suffered a lose today. I'll leave you to grief." He extinguished the fire around us, locked up my cell once again and made his way upstairs.

"She's gone..." I whispered. I crawled into a ball in the corner and weeped in my sorrow.
