**Namjoon's POV**

She threw her kids in jail— HER KIDS! What kind of bad parenting is that. Just because she wants to marry someone who is right for her. Whimpers and cries were heard throughout this large cell that we tossed in. They threw us back in the Busan prison away from the land. Some of her citizens try to help the princess but got punished with her. Those who didn't were scared.

The queen even knew about the plan. Probably because of that no good piece of shit Jinyoung. Peeking at Mia, she clinged to me like a koala. She didn't show her face at all. Hoseok was by the window staring out of it. When I view the room once more, I saw no sign of Jk or Taehyung. Thanks, Jk for keeping him safe.

"Mia... are you okay?" I asked her. She looked up at me with puffy eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine as long as I'm with you" she smiled. I missed that beautiful smile and that face of hers. I couldn't believe she risked her status for me... for someone who did wrong in the past and tried to do wrong now.

Once you are in love then there's no breaking that bond you built. Bringing her closer, I wrapped my arms around her. Hoseok came over to us, looking heartbroken. His eyes were puffy as well and his face was red. I felt awful for these two.

Their status, crown, and family have been taken from them. They are nothing but peasant now... they are us. One thing about being us, if you disobey the queen— you die. That's the part that everyone hates about being nothing, especially in this kingdom.

"Seoul... one of the most powerful kingdoms in all of Korea and we are going to die there. I always wanted to go to Seoul but our mother didn't let us. Our little kingdom didn't have the resources to compete with Seoul. The technology there was too advanced for us. They have cars, televisions, cameras, phones, games, hi-tech buildings, and etc... while we live in the 18 century with carriages, dirt roads, still sending letters to get the message out. But we keep our air and land clean from toxic waste. Now Seoul will see how this kingdom is fading away" Hoseok said in a timid voice.

I agreed with him on that one. I been to the great kingdom and we are nothing compared to them. Even little kingdoms around it still have the technology we don't have. But that's what so great about our land. Mia showed me the good side instead of the bad... she showed me nothing good comes out of phones or computers. Busan is little— yes. But it has its value to still be recognized as a kingdom of worth.

I will fight for that. I shook Mia from my arm, she looked confused. You can see the life drained from her face but the hope is still there. Standing up, I view the room with 130 people in it. The siblings looked at each other wondering what I was doing. I didn't know what I was doing... but I had to do something.

Taking a deep breath, I spoke "Busan is a kingdom of beauty and good soil. It's a kingdom of hope and survival. Busan once was a town of nothing but trees until their ancestors came along and built a home. They planted trees, food, and farm across these grounds. Busan will always been a kingdom of worth, which something I didn't understand. I took that worth and turned it to hatred. Because of the queen and her ridiculous ways. She made this beautiful home into a blood bath. I can't stand here and let that happen again!"

I caught everyone attention with my voice. I was surprising myself of what just came out.

____________

What was he doing? Never seen him with so much determination before. He's  sounding like a true king... for someone who lived on the streets— Namjoon has became something he didn't like. He continued his speech saying that when my family came along, the beautiful land turned into a graveyard of despair. But when we was born, we changed it around. Trying to help it grow once more.

Me, personally, set judgement to those who deserve a second chance. To show my citizens that they can live in a world of peace. To give people chances to be proud citizens again. My brother and I were impressed by his words and so was the people in this cell. Their eyes lit up for the first time ever. Namjoon is giving them hope.

"Even though my family did wrong, but as you can see that nothing we done was because we wanted too. We needed too, so we can survive the harsh winters and cold nights. Yes, my brother and I stole things from you guys— but we needed to keep a roof over our heads. We was counted for kidnapping the princess. In which we never did. For the attempt assassination of the king and queen, in which my parents did. The kids was wrongly accused for something we didn't know about. We was hunted ever since... because of the queen"

Once you hear their side of the story it makes my parents look worse than before. They corrupted people, like Jinyoung. To make them pawns on the board. She even tried to make me and Hoseok her pawns... once we started to rebel then things began to turn. The more Namjoon talk the more people listened. Cheers roamed through the cells, even we was cheering for him.

He was right about everything, we can't give up on our home. We can not let my mother take what rightfully mines and keep ripping it to sheds. My beautiful Busan needs a rulers that will help it for the better. Those rulers are sitting in this very cell. I got up to join my Joonie.

"I failed multiple times, but I will never let you fall in a pit of death. People can change, people can show value if you give them the chance. As your princess, I will give you that chance to live once again. We must rebel against my parents in order to take back the throne. My brother and I can not go out like this. If I can stand up to her, to fight for the love of my life— then I will fight with her for my kingdom. I hope you guys feel the same as me. Who will rise and fight for your freedom! For your right! For your home! Who will stand with us!" I said.

One by one the citizens stood up. They put their fist in the air. Hoseok was the first to stand with me, that's when everyone followed after. We began to chanted, the guards tried to calm us down but they was moved by what we said.

HAIL QUEEN MIA! HAIL KING NAMJOON!! HAIL PRINCE HOSEOK!!!

Someone took a knee and like dominos, they all fell with him. Namjoon, Hoseok, and I glanced around the area— tears began to fall from my cheek. I believe in my own beliefs. I will do anything to protect my kingdom and crown. Even if I have to risk my own life. Namjoon put his hand under my chin and lift up.

"I been waiting for this" he said as he leans in for a forceful kiss. I been waiting to kiss him too.
