Our Kingdom - Namjin Yoonmin Taekook

Ch. Thirty One

A few months ago...

The King was resting on his bed. He hated getting sick, specially because it made him look weak. And of course because meanwhile his wife had to care of everything. Either way, he was planning on staying there just for two or three more days. This was nothing he couldn't handle. Jungkook, his head of guards, entered the room without knocking.

- Sir? They came to see you. Should I let them in?

- That depends. If it's my wife she can stay outside.

- It's your son, sir

- Oh! Let him in!

There's only one of them that could care about him and that's Hoseok. The King liked him over anyone, he was the only one that never disappointed him. And also the only one that had nothing to do with the Queen. If anything, he's the reason why the Queen suffers the most. Sadly, it wasn't him who entered the room

- Ah, Yoongi. If you came here to check on me you don't have to worry. I still have time left so you can keep on studying to be a little less stupid.

- That's not why I'm here, father. The worst people never die. But...just in case I wanted to give you a warning

- You? Yoongi, you don't look threatening enough to give warnings. You literally look like a little, weak and adorable cat.

- I will only take the throne if you let me marry Jimin

- Jimin? Park Jimin? That servant? Absolutely not, Yoongi. Get that stupid idea out of your head. You can have a thousand lovers and marry a dog if you want. But you're not marrying that boy

- Just because you left the love of your life behind letting her die alone doesn't mean I'll do the same.

- You should. Love is a weakness for anyone, even for us

- I know. That's why it hurts to see Jimin so much, right? Does he look like the woman you left behind, father?

- Not one bit. It doesn't hurt to see that stupid boy - he lied - not even knowing he shares the same eye color. I didn't mark that Omega, Yoongi. And that boy has nothing to do with me.

- He does, because I'll marry him

- Oh, for the love of God, Yoongi I said no!

- If there's no wedding, there's no throne. I'll refuse to take over.

- Then be it. Hoseok will take over. Someone with the brains and the strength. Unlike you.

Yoongi didn't feel attacked. If anything, he finally relaxed with the news. Not only he was free of his father pressure to govern, but his brother would take over and he could marry his Omega! With a smile, he left the room

- Goodbye father, I'll see you in a few days

Unaware that that wasn't gonna happen, he left him alone. The King, being on his own for a few more hours, thought about Jimin's mother. The perfect Omega for him. He knew it, from the moment he met her. But only weak people would be dumb enough to follow their heart instead of their head. The day she died, he felt a pain in his chest he ignored completely. And he was ready to get over her...if it wasn't because the Queen brought her son to the castle. With those lovely eyes that never allowed him to forget. The Queen was a bitch, but she paid the price...

- Sir? Your other son came to visit

- Finally. Let him in

Ready to relax with his favorite son, his smile fell as he saw another of them enter. The bad taste that Yoongi left in his mouth wasn't gonna wash away that easily. Jin's cold eyes stared at him from the other side of the room.

- I just came here to see if it was true you were dying

- Who's spreading that lie? I'm fine

- What a shame. And I already picked a beautiful pink suit for your funeral

- Well, save it a few more years. I'm still young to die

- Hmmm...I actually had a question for you. I was gonna save it for the day you die but...hell, I still think that's today. He's never wrong

- Who?! I'm not dying!

- Tell me, father - He ignored the question - You almost kill mum hurting her through her mark...

- That bitch survived every broken bond, she can't complain

- ...Did you ever suffer, father? Even once? Were you ever scared of dying?

The prince got closer, letting the hate taint his words. But the King only laughed loudly before answering.

- Don't be ridiculous! I would never be scared of anyone. Specially of a dumb Omega like you

- Think again

His Alpha voice shocked the King. Why would his son be able to use that tone? In under a second a knife was out against his neck, Jin's free hand holding him down. And for once, he was scared

- H-How do you...stop, Jin

- I think you're not the strongest anymore. I could kill you for my mother, for Jimin's mother, for everyone that ever had the disgrace to meet you

- J-Jin

The younger pulled away and enjoyed the moment staring at his father. This was what having power felt like. No wonder the King was addicted to it.

- Just so you know, I'll let you live because I want to see those fearful eyes everytime we make eye contact from now on. - He starts to walk away - That is...if you actually survive today

The King wanted to rest for the day. However, just twenty minutes later, his youngest son entered the room without knocking

- Fucking hell, did you all remember my existence on the same day?

- Sorry father! - He carried a little note book - I'm sure you'll die today! The stars said it!

- Oh, you're the one saying that. And all because of the stars?

- They never lie!

- Ugh, I can't believe I made you. Make it quick, what is it? Do you wanna stab me? Or you wanna marry a frog?

- Hahaha you're funnier than I remember! I just wanted to know something! - He opened his notes and took a pencil - Do you regret anything?

- Excuse me?

- Something you would've done differently? Or that you wouldn't have done at all? Something to apologize for?

- Stop speaking nonsense, Taehyung. Only weak people regret their decisions. And I rather die than say sorry.

- I see...- He closed his notes - my grandpa will be disappointed when he sees you in hell

- Your grandfather was a genius before going crazy

- He didn't go crazy. He finally recovered some sanity. And some heart. But hey! Good to know I won't have to speak in your name! - He started to leave - Oh! By the way, father! My brother wants to see you! If he kills you it's because he heard the dumb things you just said!

- You're late. Jin already passed by

- Jin? Oh, I didn't mean my literal brother! Anyway! Tell grandpa I said hi!

Just ten second later, someone else enters the room. And how could he not recognize those blue eyes...

Next Chapter

To die in the hands of a Chimera sounds like a way to go with dignity

So...goodbye your magesty...and go to hell

------------------------------------------------------

Oh, I've been waiting for this. I hate the King like...a lot hahaha well, it's not Yoongi or Jin or Tae so there's just three options left. Even though y'all mostly suspect one 😂

I'll see you in a few days for the final answer! Have a great day/night!
