The uncomfortable darkness and cold walls invited Seokjin as he cautiously stepped inside the prison.

"So he had to step back?",he heard his mother's voice coming from behind the bars.

"I thought at least that Northerner has some self-respect. But....",she chuckled darkly.

"Seems like even people of their Royal family aren't brought up with self pride and dignity...."

"He would've never stepped back,Eomonie. He would've never let you free. He did it for me,only because I wanted you to be out of these bars.",Seokjin stated firmly.

"Are you trying to imply that your mate has done some favor to me,omega?!",the Queen hissed, gritting her teeth.

Seokjin let out a hollow laugh.Shaking his head, he looked directly at the alpha's eyes who had,by now come out of the darkness of the cell.

"I'm trying to say that you're getting this freedom because you're my mother. And no matter how much you degrade me as an omega,I can never hate you.I can never do that.",he sighed.

"I'm trying to say that you are getting your kingdom back because I had some responsibilities towards Abeoji, towards my ancestors and my kingdom. Otherwise you certainly doesn't deserve this Eomonie."

"What did you just say ?",his mother growled, clutching the bars with her fists.

"I said the truth, Eomonie..... And you know that too.Whatever you did to him,to them....you don't deserve anything from anyone.But you're getting it,he is giving it to you.....so you better be thankful to him.",Seokjin rasped before turning around and motioning the guards to open the lock of the cell.

"This shouldn't be happening....",Jeongguk muttered under his breath as he entered the Royal hall with Jimin and Yoongi.

"We all know that. But, Seokjin-hyung had his own reasons Younger Prince.We need to understand his emotions too....",Yoongi muttered back,glancing at the short omega between them,whose gaze was directed towards the Vampire King,who was standing beside the throne with his intimidating aura.

-"I have no doubt on hyung's decisions. I believe that he knows what he is doing. It's just that.....I'm worried about him.I'm worried about Noona. I'm worried that Eomonie would do something wrong to them.....I don't know,I just-"

"Don't worry Ggukkie...",Jimin whispered,making the alpha stop;his gaze still glued at Taehyung's face.

"As per I know him....",he tipped his chin,gesturing at the vampire infront of them.

".....he won't let anything happen that any of us would regret."

"He would do anything to prevent the things that we don't want to happen..."

"I believe him...",he confirmed, turning his head to the side to give his alpha an assuring smile.

"I believe you....",Jeongguk replied the older softly.

Everyone's head turned around towards the huge door to the hall as the Elder Prince of the kingdom led a group of vampire guards,who were barricading the Alpha Queen.
