TYRANT || Taekook || ✓

.*⊹.1✧.✺

Kim Taehyung was a tyrant in his Kingdom, and his most loyal knight was Jeon Jeongguk.

A King who never cared for the ones who starved, no. He only cared if his clothes shed diamonds when he walked or not.

He did not care whether the children were shivering in the cold but he only cared if his favourite horses had enough gold on their saddles.

He only cared about his royal treasury being filled to the brim

If he would say yes then it had to be a yes and if he said that the crows were white then, they were white.

Any finger raised at him was cut off.

Any mouth that spoke against him has stitched away.

Any head that did not bow to him was cut off.

The moment an order left Taehyung's lips, Jeongguk's sword would strike.

If people feared Taehyung's name then they trembled at the sound of Jeongguk's footsteps.

They recognized the sound of his horse marching through the streets, rushing to a safe corner the moment the wind whispered his arrival.

His armour was painted black with tar, gold decorated the sides of his helmet. Wolf fur made his robe which cascaded down his shoulders and bore Taehyung's royal crest.

He was Taehyung's knight, not the throne.

The sun hadn't come out that day either. The horses were running back to the palace from another battle. And Jeongguk was leading them.

The earth trembled at the sounds of the troop returning with victory on their shoulders.

Another Kingdom was defeated, another treasury looted and another handful of lives destroyed.

Taehyung knew he would win, and knew that his knight would only return in victory.

The halls were decorated, the tables loaded with food and wine as he lounged on the Throne, waiting for Jeongguk to reward him handsomely.

He wore robes studded with diamonds and gold, looking the best for his Knight. His favourite crown on his head, and Jeongguk's favourite colour on his lips.

His Knight was coming to him with a victory after months of being away.

The Grand door to the throne room opened as the Black Knight entered. Each one of the servants bowed their head to the man who walked in followed by 6 other knights.

The 7 knights stopped at the foot of the staircase to bow to their King, unsheathing their swords to present at his majesty's feet.

Only Jeongguk rose to his feet, the sound of his feet that climbed the stairs echoed in the throne room as the knight made his way to the throne.

The knight took the hand presented to him and kissed the Ruby ring on His Majesty's fingers.

"Welcome back my Victor, I waited for your return," said the King, his voice full of longing.

"I'm back, my grace" replied Jeongguk, looking into his eyes, searching for anything other than love.

One might wonder how can someone like him, love. Maybe it was the time they had spent together since childhood or Jeongguk's loyalty to Taehyung through everything was the reason but love bloomed in his heart for the other. Or maybe it was just an obsession.

Only time would tell.

But Jeongguk was bewitched by the handsome ways of Kim Taehyung. His beauty, his grace and his words had their clutches on him before he could even realize it.

It had dangerously blinded him.

They used to play together when they were children. He is Taehyung's nanny's son. The present King wasn't selfish before, the poison in his veins had spread slowly.

Taehyung was the youngest of the three princes, yet denied any royal title.

His childhood was made hell by the ones who looked down on him.

All because he was born a carrier.

But he did not cave in, he decided to fight back On his sixteenth birthday when he was going to see the Royal family for the last time- They sent him off to the King of the north as a peace offering- he made his move.

Jeongguk had followed him to the room where the dinner was being held. No one could question his presence, he was the youngest Knight commander and everyone knew of his loyalty to Lord Taehyung. It was not a blink of an eye later when the heads of the Royal family were laying on the floor.

Jeongguk and his order of knights had taken over.

Since then it has been like this- Grey, dark and cold. The only time the king's eyes shined again we're when he saw Jeongguk.

The knights were rewarded handsomely too before they all headed back to their houses.

All except the Black Knight who was carrying his giggling reward on his shoulder to his chambers.
