Author's POV: 

Your eyes were brimming with tears as a few rolled down your cheeks. Your warm tears kept falling down continuously as you stared at the globe which showed you the past... 

Taehyung was strangling you while you were crying miserably begging for him to spare you. 

"This isn't true.." Your mouth spoke. You weren't even conscious. You just said it. In no way could you believe this. You were sure you didn't trust Taehyung 100% but in no way could you believe that all those words, all those promises, all those dreams... those things, the bracelet, those stares and confessions could be lies. 

They couldn't be lies. It was beyond what you could handle. 

You backed away, shaking your head continuously. Albert frowned staring at you and said, "It is the truth! They manipulated you badly... You're supposed to trust me, not them." 
You shook your head saying, "He... my dreams.... t-those-" You didn't continue. You just cried and shook your head.

"You're lying." You said. You could see right through him. Something about him was wrong. It was making you sure that this Albert guy wasn't trustworthy. 
You didn't know why but somehow, you were wanting for Taehyung to appear. You wanted him to appear. 
Your mind was clouded with confusion and pain. The scene you just saw was so heartbreaking, your heart broke. You were crying right now.

You had no idea who was honest. You wanted to trust Taehyung. But the globe couldn't be wrong.

"I know he must've said so many sweet words to you. Did he make lots of promises? I'm sure he did but those were all lies." Every single word of his pierced your heart. You hated to listen to him, you hated to believe him. 
You did trust Taehyung somewhere, somehow. But even if nothing else, he couldn't be the one to kill you. Your heart was telling you it wasn't him but the evidence was right in front of you. Who could've you trusted?

"I'm telling you he's the liar!" Albert's voice slightly raised making you flinch. You backed away and stared at him in disbelief. You were scared of him. Ever since the time you saw him in that shop.
"You came to my shop that day..." You said.
"Yes, I was checking up on you!" He said, trying to contain his fake smile. You shook your head, looking down. He noticed how doubtful you looked.
"You need to trust me." 

Forced. He sounded forced. You felt like he was trying to force you. You were feeling so unsafe. You wanted to escape.
"Let me go home... please." You said. He shook his head saying, "You have to trust me first."

"I need time." You said, more like pleaded. He shook his head saying, "You don't. It's obvious! We have the proof. You need to fight with us. He's the liar. He killed you!" 

You were getting strange vibes from him now. He was trying to force you. You remembered nothing but your instincts were refraining you from believing the man in front of you. You took a breath, wiped your tears and said, "I d-don't.... trust you."

"Why?!" He growled. You flinched and backed away even more. He walked towards you with doubtful eyes.
"You don't remember a thing then why?" He asked. He stared at you, his figure a few inches away from yours. You felt scared as if you were unsafe. 
"TELL ME WHY!" He screamed as you flinched, holding your ears.
"S-Stop.." You spoke. You felt like this all was familiar. This scent... this unsafe and unfamiliar scent. You backed away a little more as he walked towards you, his eyes looking angry. He couldn't contain that fake smile for long. He was looking scary now, like someone who wasn't safe.

"Ah!" You groaned, feeling a sudden sharp pain in your head. You grasped your head, crouching down. It was hurting so hard. You were crying as he said, "GET UP! You need to believe me! There's nothing else. I'm the one who's saying the TRUTH!" 

You squeezed your eyes, crying uncontrollably. You were shaking in fear. 

"If you don't trust me, you have to die." He said, his voice cold and stern. You held your ears tighter. 
"N-No... L-Leave me..." You said. You felt the pain increasing in your head as you crouched deeper. Albert was about to touch your shoulder but suddenly he heard a loud thud. With wide eyes, he looked outside to hear some noises. Loud thuds and screams. 

"Sir, I think they found us..." A man said as Albert's eyes widened.
"Get the army ready!" He ordered. You were crying in one corner as he scoffed saying, "Make sure they all die. The only thing left to do is kill her since she won't believe us." 
Albert took out his sword. You were still squeezing your eyes and crouching down while holding your head. You couldn't hear a thing, your ears were buzzing with a loud noise. Your head was aching, your entire body was shaking.

Albert, before he could harm you were hit by a huge stone making him fall down. He groaned and looked up to see Taehyung standing there.
"How did you-" His eyes widened. He saw how many vampires entered the room, fighting with Albert's men. He scoffed and said, "How dare you touch my woman? How dare you try to harm her?" 
His voice came out scary. It was deep and cold. It was angry. 
"HOW DARE YOU?" He growled, running towards Albert but before he could reach him. Albert screamed, "KILL THIS WOMAN!" 

He tried to drag you with him but Taehyung was running towards him at the speed of light with lots of vampires fighting behind him. Albert ran out of there as Taehyung stopped in front of you. He stared at you wide-eyed who were suffering. 
"R-Rosecheeks!" He called but you were shaking your head continuously and crying. He was about to hold you but the minister said, "Y-Your highness! Catch Albert! We'll protect the Queen!" 

Taehyung gulped, hesitating for a moment but ran out glancing at you once. 
"PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS!" 

Taehyung ran until he found himself entering a dark forest. The same forest where everything had happened once. He ran towards the middle to see Albert standing there, with a smirk.
"You..." He spoke, glaring at Albert. Albert just smirked and said, "You left her there? Do you think she'll survive? She'll die, again." 
"Shut up, you b*stard." Taehyung spoke, walking towards him with his deadly glare. 
"You've lost anyway! She believes me... she believes that you killed her! She'll never return to you anyway." Albert spoke, smirking.
"I don't believe a word you say." 

"Don't believe me... but she's already done that." 

Taehyung jumped on Albert, punching him as he groaned before scoffing. His eyes immediately turned red as he pushed Taehyung making him hit a tree. Taehyung groaned and glared at Albert, his eyes turning red. 

In the fight before, no one could use their strength on one another due to their positions. But now, things were different. Both of their aims were the destruction of one another. And this was a game where only one would win. 

Taehyung's bright red eyes glared at Albert as he said, "You'll die today. I will destroy you." 
"You will be the loser. The lovesick loser who never was and will never be capable of the throne of Hades." Albert's remark made Taehyung growl as he ran towards him, choking him. But Albert's hands were choking Taehyung's neck as well. Both of them were choking each other with full force until Taehyung groaned, kicking Albert with the highest force, making him loosen his grip. Taking the chance, Taehyung kicked Albert and quickly got on top of him. 
"I won't spare you... this time." Taehyung said.

Albert pushed him off and said, "You're no match for me. You can't resist a single attack of mine despite being that so-called King of Hades." 
"Because I haven't used my real strength yet."
"She'll die again. I'll kill her thousand times more if needed!" Albert screamed. That was it. Taehyung stood there quietly tilting his head at Albert who laughed loudly.
"Weaklings. The throne belongs to those who can keep their feelings away. Like your father said. I should've been the one to be the next King and not someone as useless and lowly like yo-" 

Albert's voice stopped midway as his eyes widened feeling a sharp pain in his neck. He felt his neck breaking apart. 

Taehyung bit his neck. His fangs were tearing apart Albert's neck as Albert screamed, "AHHHHH!!" 
Albert tried to push him away but Taehyung bit harder, ripping off his skin. He threw away his skin and said, "You're dead, Albert." 
Albert gasped and tried to bite him back but before he could, Taehyung held his head, twisting his neck open. His head in his hands as Taehyung threw away Albert's head, his body automatically falling down. 

Taehyung stood there, spitting away the disgusting taste. 
"That's the worst animal blood I've ever tasted." He said, scoffing. 

He stood there weakly. He just killed off Albert, someone with innumerable strength. 
"Rosecheeks..." He muttered, realizing that you were still there. 

He took 2 little twigs and started rubbing them with the highest force. In a few seconds, fire lit up as he threw the twigs at Albert's body, kicking his head which was a little away from the burning body. He stared at the fire and said, "I can't believe I really let him live for a thousand years." 

Taehyung could've killed him off earlier. But he didn't. He thought maybe he might've changed his mind. Though he knew he wouldn't. Albert was good at hiding, so the people of Hades never found him. But he made the biggest mistake of his life by dragging you to his den with him. Even if the people of Hades couldn't find Albert, they could find you. And they did. 

He brought his own end to himself, by being greedy. Just like the King once did.

Taehyung ran out of there in a swift motion. It had been 30 minutes since he was fighting with Albert in the forest. God knew what was the condition of the others.

As soon as he entered the place, he saw so many vampires knocked out here and there. Some were headless bodies lying here and there. A few of them belonged to his own kingdom. He gulped and walked forward, eliminating a few soldiers of Albert in between. 
"HALT!" He screamed. The fight seemed to have been interrupted.
"Albert is dead. I ripped his neck apart. Does anyone still want to fight on behalf of him?" 

Everyone in the room seemed to have been shuddered by his announcement. A few soldiers tried to run away but were killed instead and a few gave up. The minister spoke, "Your highness, did you-"
"I did. He's burnt... in ashes."

The minister sighed in relief, holding his chest. 
"Where is the Queen?" He asked. The minister immediately spoke, "She fainted during the fight. So a few soldiers took her to Hades."
