Run Away Royalty Sookai/Taegyu

Chapter 12

"DONT HURT HIM!!! I SURRENDER ILL GO WITH YOU!!" soobin raised his hands seeing two guards holding Hueningkai up by the arms.

"Soobin!!" Hueningkai shouted angrily. He didn't want soobin to just turn himself in like that, he had fought so hard for freedom.

Soobin ignored hueningkais pleas and simply walked towards the guards.

"I will go peacefully if he comes with me, UNHARMED. He needs medical help." Soobin waited as the guards searched Hueningkai for any weapons.

"He couldn't run right now anyway ..." Soobin hissed to the guards who were being rather harsh with Hueningkai.

"Get on the horse, the boy can ride with you. The king can decide what his punishment will be." One of the guards threw Hueningkai forward to soobin, making him stumble.

"Kai." Soobin said exasperatedly catching Hueningkai before he could fall.

"Soobin don't, neither of us should go to the castle, run now and we can s-" Hueningkai was trying to think of any way for them to escape this situation.

A guard went to hit Hueningkai, to stop encouraging the prince to escape but soobin defending the boy by cradling him in his arms. No one would dare hit a prince.

"I won't resist, give me the horse." Soobins tone was aggressive as he took the reigns from a guard, gently lifting Hueningkai up onto the horse.

Soobin climbed up behind Hueningkai, making sure he was safely on the horse.

"This is a good thing...." Soobin assured Hueningkai and kicked the horse, riding in formation with the guards circled around his horse. They weren't taking any chances.

Hueningkai gasped and clung to soobin, startled by the sudden jolt forward.

Soobin felt so sorry for dragging Hueningkai into this. If he took him back to the palace he may convince his father to spare him. He could get medical aid, food, and clothes.

Hueningkai could feel his tense soobin was as soobins arms tightened around the reigns.

They were stopped at the castle gates before going inside. Soobin felt his worried disappear as he saw yeonjun and Taehyun greet them at the gates.

"Soobin!" Yeonjun went to help soobin off the horse but noticed the smaller boy he had in his saddle.

"And...soobins friend?" Yeonjun smiled friendly at the boy, offering a hand off the horse.

"It's alright, that's yeonjun." Soobin whispered to Hueningkai, stepping off the horse and helping Hueningkai down bridal style.

"His leg is wounded, he wasn't being rude." Soobin smiled to yeonjun.

"Hey, I'm soobins old friend, don't be scared." Yeonjun offered to shake hands with the boy.

Hueningkai had his arms around soobins neck, feeling comfortable being bridal style held. It kept pain off his leg and he didn't know anyone in this place.

Hueningkai was still unsure and hid his face in soobins neck. Soobin was surprised to see Hueningkai so shy. He had been friendly when he saved soobin.

"Ah...it's probably because I'm in armour. Its fine, I told your parents that I would escort you to them. Shall we?" Yeonjun gave up on getting hueningkais handshake and simply left the way into the castle.

Taehyun walked behind them, in utter disbelief that he was seeing soobin again.

"Why is Taehyun so quiet?" Soobin asked yeonjun, who stopped abrubtely.

"Taehyuns still following us?! Taehyun go watch the second prince!!!" Yeonjun hissed, if Taehyun was caught not watching beomgyu he'd be in trouble.

Soobin had forgotten about his new step brother, he felt bad he left the burden of being the only prince to him by escaping. He never even met him.

Taehyun jumped as if just realizing and bolting up the castle staircase, leaving soobin without even welcoming him back.

"He's been a bit upset you left, he was put on duty of babysitting your new brother." Yeonjun explained so soobin wouldn't be so confused.

Soobin frowned when he saw the queen and king rushing up to him with guards by their sides.

Soobin already knew that this would be a very long explanation. He knew that he wouldn't let the terrified boy in his hands go though. The only person he trusted with him was yeonjun and Taehyun.

"Take him to my room please, I don't want him to see our argument. Don't let ANYTHING happen to him." Soobin tried to hand Hueningkai over to yeonjun but Hueningkai quickly clung to soobin.

"No! I don't want to go! I want to stay with you!" Hueningkai was obviously scared to leave soobin. Yeonjun was just surprised the boy talked at all.

"Beomgyu?! Your highness?!!! Beomgyu?!" Taehyun called in almost every single room he new beomgyu had been to. He shouldn't have got so caught up in seeing soobin again. Now he had lost beomgyu.

Taehyun ran his hands through his hair, frustrated. "Shit!" He hissed and paced. Where would a prince with no idea of the layout of the castle run to?!

Taehyun then noticed that there was a clear view of the stables from the hallway windows.

Beomgyu didn't know how, but he had finally managed to find a way outside of the castle by running down random staircases and hallways.

The stables was one place he knew he could get to. Now that soobin was back they wouldn't mind the second prince running away, he had time to escape! He took his chance in a heartbeat.

Beomgyu ran down the stables until he spotted the familar horse. Taehyuns horse.

"How do i get on a horse again?.." beomgyu fumbled with the reigns and tried climbing on, nearly spooking the horse.

Beomgyu didn't know why but he had started crying, he was anxious, scared, relieved, and panicked. He had no idea when guards would come find him so he was trying to do everything as fast as he could.

'hyah' is go and 'wooaahh' is stop, ok? Taehyuns voice came to beomgyus mind.

"O-ok horse...HYAH!" beomgyu held on for dear life as the horse took off. He didn't know how to stay on very well and panicking wasn't helping.

He felt himself slipping off but clutched on for quite a while. He couldn't bring himself to steer the horse to the castle gate, afraid of falling off.

Taehyun slid on the hay on the floor of the stable, grabbing the guard harshly.

"DID YOU SEE THE SECOND PRINCE COME THROUGH HERE?!" the guard was startled at taehyuns frantic expression and voice.

"Y-yeah I thought he came for his lessons?..." The guard stuttered and pointed down to his horses stall.

Taehyun wasted no time in checking his stall, as he thought his horse was gone.

Taehyun quickly opened the stall adjacent and saddled the horse. "Which way did he go?!" Taehyun rode the horse back to the guard.

"I-i don't know he just took-" the guard didn't get to finish before Taehyun had growled and taken off.

"YOUR HIGHNESS!! BEOMGYU!!" Taehyun was now very worried. The castle grounds were huge and Beomgyu couldn't actually ride a horse. There were so many ways to get injured or die from a horse it wasn't even funny.

Taehyun rode across the field to check the lake he took beomgyu too, beomgyu wasn't there.

Taehyun checked the royal gardens, beomgyu wasn't there. He was growing out of options riding across the miles of castle grounds.

He got a hint at least, when he saw his own horse, grazing the field in front of the creek.

Taehyun quickly rode over, hopping off and checking on the horses condition.

"Where's your rider?! Beomgyu!!!??" Taehyun called again.
