[WARNING: Prepare your hearts for some mild torture.]
"Your highness, the preparations have been made," Hyun informed.
Yoongi nodded as he stroked the hilt of his sword. This small action had become a habit of his. Whenever he was mad, this was what he would always do and whenever there was something troubling him, he would do this small action again. Every time Hyun saw Yoongi stroking his sword like this, he knew someone was gonna die.
"What about the crown prince from that wretched place?" Yoongi asked, trying his best not to sound too angry.
"Crown prince Hanyu has still not left."
Yoongi sighed as he stopped stroking the hilt of his sword.
"I'll be going somewhere. Make sure that Taehyung is safe."
Hyun was a bit taken back to hear Yoongi calling the man by his first name, but it wasn't too shocking since he had already guessed how close the bond between the two of them was.
At this point in time, it was more shocking to know that there was still somebody in the royal palace that didn't know about their close-knit relationship.
Hyun was happy to finally see Yoongi being more and more like a human. Maybe the idea of accepting a prince as a hostage wasn't wrong.
He had to give Taehyung credit for this. No one knew how he had done this but he had somehow managed to melt the frozen heart of their beloved crown prince and this was enough for the people to thank him for a lifetime.
Ever since Taehyung had come here, Hyun had extra work to do but he wasn't complaining too much about that since he was happy with doing all of it knowing that he was helping Yoongi. He had also noticed that he no longer needed to worry about the crown prince going on a killing spree once again.
Yoongi had really not killed anyone ever since Taehyung had shown up. It seemed that the anger bottled up inside him had subsided.
"Your highness can rest assured. No one would dare bully him."
Yoongi stood up and walked away as Hyun bowed and watched the man's fading back.
Hyun had said that Taehyung would be safe with such confidence, however, at this very moment, the Taehyung in question was tied to a pole and his face was splashed with cold water that thoroughly woke him up.
"Young master, please don't do this." One of the guards pleaded as he kneeled down.
"Do what?! This is a prisoner!" The man who had personally splashed the water shouted as he pointed at Taehyung, "You want to discriminate between prisoners?! Who cares if I torture him a bit?!"
The guard hit his head loudly on the ground as he cried out once again, "This prisoner is different! Please don't do this, young master."
The man who looked to be around the same age as Taehyung scoffed as he heard the guard, "Are you trying to control me?! I can do anything I want!"
The man pulled out a sword from the guard's belt and pointed it at him as he asked, "Do you have a death wish? Why the hell are you interfering?!"
The guard hit his head on the ground a few more times as he cried out, "Young master, please stop. His highness is not going to be happy when he hears this!"
The man scoffed as he poked the guard's back with the sword and suddenly the fabric of the guard's cloth was stained with his blood that oozed out of the small injury that the sword had caused.
"If he's not happy with it, he can come to me. Why do you care?"
Taehyung suddenly chuckled softly with his hoarse voice as he heard this young master blabbering.
The man clearly heard Taehyung chuckling and he turned his head to look at Taehyung as he asked in a rather offensive tone, "Are you laughing at me?"
Taehyung had his head bowed down this entire time but when he heard this, he picked up his head to meet the man's eyes and responded, "Since Young master is being so ridiculous, I couldn't help but laugh."
The man's grip around the sword tightened as he pointed it at Taehyung and challenged him, "You! Say that again!"
Taehyung's lips looked colorless just like the rest of his face that looked almost dead but since his eyes were open and he was still breathing, people could rest assured that this man was still alive.
"I said: Since Young master is being so ridiculous, I couldn't help but laugh."
The man suddenly smirked and the veins of anger on his head were clearly visible as he poked the sword at the injury on Taehyung's neck that had just started to heal.
"Such a courageous man. No wonder you're in jail." The man smirked as he put more strength to it and the white cloth that was wrapped around Taehyung's neck was suddenly stained with his fresh blood.
Not only had his injury been reopened, but it had also now worsened.
At this moment, just after seeing the sight of blood, the guards were sure that there was soon going to be a bloodbath here and it wouldn't be Taehyung's blood flowing throw the roads, the blood would be belonging to the guards and this young master who had dared to lay a hand on the crown prince's favored person.
This young master's future had turned extremely dark the moment he had walked in here and decided to play around with Taehyung.
He was stupid. So stupid that his stupidity was going to get his skin peeled off from his body slowly.
Just because he was bored and wanted to play around with some prisoners, he was gonna have to say goodbye to his dear life.
Taehyung winced as he felt the pain. The smile on his face went down in an instant and although he was suffering from the pain, he wasn't gonna let it show on his face cause if he did, he would be satisfying this young master that was trying to get this reaction out of him.
"Who do you think you are?" The young master questioned, his facial expressions turning ugly as he gritted his teeth and put even more pressure on the sword, "Your life is in my hands and you dare laugh at me?!"
Taehyung chuckled once again and it hurt him even more as he glared at the man and responded, "My life may be in your hands but your life has already slipped away from yours."
"Eh?" The young master suddenly broke out laughing as he retrieved the sword and spoke, "What a madman! Hahaha... If you were so out of it, you should've just told me. Why waste my time?"
Taehyung chuckled and in the next second, the smile was gone as if it never had been there. He glared at this young master with unhidden hostility.
"A dog barks and calls another a dog. Young master, if you were so foolish, why didn't you just say so? I wouldn't have wasted my time talking to you."
"You!"
The guards who were kneeling on the ground almost wanted to bite their own tongues as they heard Taehyung further instigating this man.
Why was this young prince so adamant about getting himself killed?!
Just stop talking!
The man grabbed Taehyung's chin rudely and it almost seemed as if he was trying to break his jaw, "Sadly your pretty mouth can only spout garbage."
The next thing that this young master did, shocked everyone even more and it further strengthened his own dark future filled with blood.
He actually dared to spit on Taehyung's face!
This young master wasn't gonna have a good death!
"You know I hate people like you." The young master gritted out, "Not knowing your place."
Taehyung was too shocked to react but he still overcame the shock and ducked his head down as if he was too humiliated and wanted to cry at any given moment but instead of seeing a tear drip down his face, the people heard him chuckling.
It was a soft chuckle that eventually turned into full-out laughing. He didn't raise his head but he was laughing in a manner that sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
"Madman!" The young master scoffed as he turned his head and got ready to leave but before he could walk away, Taehyung looked up and stopped him.
"Young master, I wanted to tell you something. Why don't we talk some more?"
The guards couldn't help but be worried as they heard this. This situation was going south.
Both this young master and this young prince were crazy!
If he was going, just let him go!
Why stop him and make him torture you more?!
The young master turned back and walked closer to Taehyung as he asked, "What are you-"
His words were cut short by Taehyung who spit back on his face.
"..."
Taehyung smirked as he saw the shocked expression on the young master's face turn ugly in an instant.
"You dare!" The young master had his eyes tightly closed in anger and his whole face turned red with this emotion that satisfied Taehyung.
"You can scram now," Taehyung spoke up and when the young master opened his eyes to glare at Taehyung, he felt a sense of fear hit him when he saw the look in Taehyung's eyes.
He recognized it. The sinister look that could never be mistaken and his muscles tensed up from the mere fear of seeing those eyes.
"You!" The young master was certainly angry but mixed with his anger was a sense of fear that Taehyung could see.
"Young master should run away before you dig your grave deeper."
The young master took a step back unconsciously but it didn't seem like he was planning on leaving anytime soon.
One of the guards suddenly stood up and mustered all his courage to pull the young master back as he cried, "Young master, please don't cause more trouble."
"Trouble?! He just spits at me! Let go of me!" The young master shook the guard away as he grabbed Taehyung's neck and choked him, "You dare spit at me?! Great! Let's see how courageous you'll be without that tongue of yours!"
Taehyung only smiled as a response. He was also pretty angry and annoyed at this unreasonable man. If his hands weren't tied behind the pole, he would have surely ended up killing this young master with his own hands.
The young master picked up the sword and pulled Taehyung's chin down, trying to pry his mouth open in order to cut the tongue.
Taehyung laughed in amusement once again.
The sword almost did cut his tongue but before the blade could slice through his tongue, someone cried out.
"What the hell is going on?!"
The young master and Taehyung looked at the newcomer in unison along with the guards who were glad to see the person who had arrived.
