Minho watched as the one he loved broke down in front of him, his heart breaking at the sight as heard the loud the cries coming from his mouth. This was his fault. If only he hadn't met Jisung then maybe things would be different. Sora was dead and it frightened him that it would be Jisung next and he had to think of a way to get him out but anger fuelled him. He turned to face his father, his nostrils flaring and his eyes full of rage.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD." Minho screamed, lunging at his father. "HOW DARE YOU!"

Minho managed to tackle his father, throwing a punch at his face. The guards rushed at him, trying to pull him off and he fought to get out of their grip. They dragged him off and the king laughed as a he lifted himself up, throwing his sword on the ground.

"How dare I?" The king questions as he walks towards Minho who was held tightly by the guards and strikes a hard smack to his son's cheek. "How dare you!"

Minho hisses at the stinging sensation before his face hardens again, glaring at the king. "You're evil."

"I know, I am." The king smirks before looking around Minho and the guards to see Jisung crawling to his mother, sobbing uncontrollably. He raises his eyebrow as one of his traitor guard's, Changbin moves in front the small boy and blocks his view of seeing Jisung. "Ah, I see. You've turned a whole lot of people against me."

"That's because they've realised how much of a prick you are." Minho spits, struggling against the guards hold again.

"Well too bad they didn't stick by me. Now, I'm going to kill them, starting off with your lover." The king chuckled, moving to pick up his sword. "Guards move that traitor, I want a clear view of my next kill."

The guards moved, grabbing hold of Changbin and dragged him away from protecting Jisung. "Let go of me!"

The king moved closer to Jisung and the small boy looked up at him with his tear streaked face, glaring at him. Minho gritted his teeth and he swung his head around biting into one of the guard arms and jabbing the other with his elbow before unsheathing one of their swords, slicing their stomachs open. Minho turned around to see the king aim the sword at Jisung and screeched as he rushed forward, throwing his body in front of his lover. "NO!"

Minho, Jisung, Seungmin and Changbin stopped for a short while to give the horses and themselves a rest from riding for so long. Minho stood next to Changbin watching as his brother and Jisung lent down at the fresh water stream scooping up water to drink.

"You know how badly it's going to go tomorrow, right?" Changbin asks, frowning as he glance at Minho.

Minho nods, his arms crossing over his chest. "I do... Changbin can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"I want you protect Jisung, no matter what." Minho says, watching as Jisung moves to give some water to the horses.

"Of course."

"If anything happens to me, I want you to get Jisung and the other's to safety, bring them to the cottage or wherever." Minho mumbles, looking down. "Just keep them all safe, forget about me."

"What do you mean?" Changbin's eyebrows furrowed as he listened to Minho's speech.

"I have a feeling I won't make it out with you."

"What?" Changbin questions but doesn't get an answer.

Minho starts walking towards Jisung and the small boy notices, giving a sad smile. Minho arrives in front of him, putting a hand on the younger's cheeks and strokes his thumb against it softly. Jisung leans into the comforting touch and closes his eyes shortly before opening them, staring into Minho's loving eyes.

"We will get them out." Minho says, smiling reassuringly. "I'll make sure of it."

"I know." Jisung nods and moves closer to Minho, wrapping his arms around the older's waist.

Minho smiles before he leans forward, resting his forehead on Jisung's own. "Jisung?"

"Yeah."

"Whatever happens tomorrow." Minho whispers as he moves his hand to Jisung's chest, placing it on his beating heart. "Know that I'll be with you, forever and always."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

Jisung crawled to his mother, blocking out the commotion around him as tears fell from his eyes. He moves to her side and places his hand on her cheek.

"I'm sorry mum." Jisung whispers and he moves to take the topaz coloured bracelet from his wrist and picked her hand up, sliding it on her own. "I'm so sorry."

Jisung strokes his mother's hair and leans in kissing the top of her head before glancing up through blurry eyes at the situation unfolding in front of him. Jisung watched between Changbin's legs as Minho was held by a couple guards and the king was walking toward his sword.

"Guards move that traitor, I want a clear view of my next kill." The king says as he grabs hold of the sword before walking towards Jisung as Changbin was dragged away and Jisung glared up at him.

Jisung eyes widen as the king begins to move his sword and from the corner of his eye to see Minho managed to get of the guards hold and came running at Jisung. Minho's face comes into Jisung's view as the older throws his arms out as he falls to his knees.

"NO!" Minho shouted and a look of pain crosses his face before his face went blank, staring into Jisung's eyes as his body slouched.

Jisung shook his head, his hands going up to his lover's face. "Minho?"

Minho didn't say anything and soon enough Jisung found himself being surrounded by a pair of arms, getting pulled away from Minho and screams as he see the full extent of his injuries, a sword sticking from his back.

"MINHO! NO!" Jisung struggles against the hold.

"Jisung, we've gotta go." Changbin's voice says into his ear.

"WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM." Jisung cries. "WE CAN'T, WE HAVE TO HELP HIM!"

"There's nothing we can do." Changbin sighs as he lift Jisung over his shoulder and runs away from the palace, the king and the dying crown prince.
