[Usually I fly over it again to fix obvious mistakes but I'm not in the mood for that  but I havent updated yesterday so I dont to skip today too 🤷‍♀️]

°•°•°◇°•°•°

He panted as he started running into the courtyard in shock when he found people already gathering around a big pile of hay being readied for the execution. He looked at the guards and some villagers smiling and readying their rotten fruit to throw it.

,, your highness? " one of the maid looked confused at him when he was looking around the prisoners being readied for an execution but couldnt find him under them.
,, is everything alright-?"
He didnt pay more attention to her when he rushed past her hitting her lightly by her shoulder with his own.

he was running past many people, guards and servants doing their job as they readied all kinds of tools and stuff as if it didnt mean anything. As if it was nothing.

He skipped steps when he ran into the castle and its halls searching for the kings chamber, because he knew even if he found kyungsoo, making a scene wouldnt help. The only one who could stop this would've been the king.

How could this happen ?
Why did kyungsoo want to talk to his uncle !?
What was he thinking?
What happened?

Questions swirled his mind and scenarios that would've happened or should've happened so it wouldn't have come so far were making him more anxious

He felt like panicking at the thought of the very siren burning down in front of chanting people in front of him having to watch and not being able to do anything.
Of having to live with that thought, that sight.

He didnt want to think of it. It made him desperate when he slammed the doors to the kings chamber to find it empty.
A loud groan erupted from him when he rushed out again grabbing a guard to look at him ,, where is he !? "

,, sire?-"
,, where's my uncle ?!"

,, I.. I dont know I'm so-" no time was wasted when jongin let go of him to rush away again running across the hall with eyes out for the king in desperation.
He couldnt let this happen.
It cant .

Hadnt he told jongdae to watch him, what did he do ? How could he be so dumb.
How could he have let him do that.
After everything...
Kyungsoo couldnt just die ..
not like this. Not now.
He didnt want it, he refused to let it happen. It cant

,, burn him down, burn him down !" People starting yelling cursing throwing things around and jongin felt his heart beating loudly in his ears as it felt like it was hammering against his ribs ready to jump out of his chest, when he realized even if he would find his uncle now, it wouldve been too late.

Finally he tripped falling, panting and shaking a little when he immediately tried getting back on his feet
But then he heard the fire being set on.

The people were cheering as if it was an accomplishment.
And looked out of the window from the hallway to see the courtyard
The fire burning with kyungsoo standing in the middle of it, facing jongin with his back as he struggled.

With teary eyes he stared down as the fire became bigger and got closer to him, helplessly struggling to no use.

But then he lifted his eyes to look into the window across from his belonging to the other end of the long hallway.
Shock, disbelief but also relief had overcome him as he stared into the eyes looking emptily down at the courtyard of the very siren he had thought was being burned down.
