Chapter 7
Taehyang entered the large quite room, his eyes came across a big table with an armor sat on it, a map and all kinds of food. A large body was sitting there devouring what seemed to be a small chicken, '' What do you want ?'' Gustav asked glancing at the angry confused man "I want what you have promised me'', he grabbed a small sack among other ones and throw it in taehyang's way making gold slide out of it as it hit the floor .'' I have not asked for gold '' the young man spoke under his grinning teeth, Gustav stopped eating, sat back on his chair glaring at him asking him what he wanted instead, '' You said you will release my father '' , '' I don't know who the hell is your father is, don't waste my time '' , " You promised you would release him if I gave you what you wanted , and I have done my part of the deal'', Taehyang threatened. The large man stormed out of his chair strangling the young man's neck'' First of all, you haven't had any dealings with me which means that I don't have to give you any fucking thing...'' he threatened the suffocating man'' and second of all, I hate to be interrupted during my meal'' he finally let go making taehyang fall down into the floor trying to catch his breath '' Especially if the meal is a delicious little bird ...'' he smirked , '' What?'' he asked shocked, looking back to the roasted meat wildly devoured on the plate, '' What have you been feeding your bird? it tastes very delicious'' and before Gustav could finish his mocking, taehyang grabbed the nearest chair and smacked it on the head of the large beast making him fall half unconscious, bleeding from his head, then without hesitation he started kicking with all his rage taking advantage of his weakness, but suddenly Gustav grabbed his foot, rotate it and throw him against the floor, he then climbed on him like a large mountain, his shadow covering the sight ,and spoke '' The king have killed his own family, do you think he would care for a fucking peasant-like your dad ?'' he laughed punching the naive young man bruising his face. Taehyang's angry and horrified emotions gave him the strength to fight back , he managed to slide out of Gustav's grabbed barely stood on his feet, grabbed the butter knife that was positioned next to his dead beloved bird and stabbed the large man in his eye '' You made me betray the one family I had left ! ''...
''My lord, my lord !'' , '' William ! what are you doing here ?'' Jin asked approaching the metal bars happy to see the little boy safe and sound, '' Are you alright ?'' Jimin asked, '' Yes I am my lord, hold on, I will find a way to free you'', '' Where is Lilia? Is she with you ?'' Jin asked worried, '' No my lord, I don't know where they have imprisoned her'', '' I should have protected her I am sorry I failed you '' Jungkook said holding his injured shoulder, '' Enough jungkook, this is not your fault, we have simply trusted the wrong person'' Jin reassured yet anger was clear in his tone. Before they could find a way to escape, a voice starts coming from the prison stairs, '' Quick hide William, it's the guards !" Hoseok whispered pointing an empty barrel. '' Don't worry it's just me '' taehyang reassured revealing his bruised face, '' What happened to you ?'' the little boy innocently asked, '' The question is what the hell do you want ?'' Namjoon yield behind the bars, '' I came to apologize...I... I have been played... I should have never betrayed you ...'' he cried under his dropping blood, while everyone was scolding and cursing him, William who was aware of the reason of his actions gently embraced his shaking body, '' One thing my lady kept telling me, is that it takes a strong person to say they're sorry and an even stronger to forgive'' he spoke looking up to the young man '' we shared food, shelter, joy, and travel together, those are the true testament for friendship, and friends forgive each other''. William's wise innocent words brought everyone to silent, but it didn't mean the men forgave him.
The brave soldiers haven't given up on their plan, they thought it was the perfect time to attack, since half the guards were sleeping and the other half were careless, they decided to move in silence. They split into three teams, one would take on the guards of the gate, the others would surround the ones in the dining hall and the rest would take over the main crown tower where the council and the throne are. '' You stay next to me boy '' hoseok ordered the little brave fella handing him a sword.
Lilia was shaking in her place, the cold floor made her bearly cover body freeze to pain, the little moonlight escaping from the high tiny window was keeping her company, however, her calm contemplation broke with the sound of screams and panics, it seemed like a fight was taking off the castle. She was terrified, she hoped that any familiar face would come to reassure her, and once again, a warm voice called her name making her jump towards the metal bars '' Lilia !'' Jin called grabbing her thin hands. Overwhelmed with his touch and his presence, she started crying out his name '' Jin! Jin!'' , '' I'm here, don't worry, I'm here '' his eyes wanting to cry out of joy for finally finding her. He pushed his face against the thick bars barely touching her hair like his body was desperate for more contact. '' I have the keys '' Namjoon followed. As soon as the door was opened, Jin rushed embracing her with every force he had, she was crying against his shoulder and his heart couldn't bear the sound of it, he patted and kissed her head like a delicate little child, '' I 'm so sorry Lilia, It's over, everything will be ok '' he reassured with a warm voice. '' I have some clothes here my lady, although it's a man's...they will cover you from cold''.
The brave northland soldiers have taken over the court killing most of the guards and spearing the others, the two royalties along with their faithful knights head towards the tower were the council was hiding,they got into the throne room where the ten men were standing '' We surrounder my lords, and we offer to you the throne of the eastern land along with its army ''they spoke, ''which army are you talking about ? they only guards that were guarding the castle were sent by the king'' Jin asked confused. Tells have always mentioned that the eastern land army was one of the strongest, but after the new king's rule they have lost it, some said they refused to follow the king's ruling and some said they have never existed , '' One thing for sure , is that the eastern land army has always been faithful to this kingdom and its previous ruler '' they explained '' After the queen Jasmin have been forced to leave, the army has disappeared, However...'' they turned their gaze towards Jimin ''You may be their new ruler, after all, they trust their princess's choice, or should we say, lover''. Jin remembered what people used to tell about their love story and how Jimin was the reason for the king's order of murdering the princes, he pats jimin's shoulder and spoke '' you are meant to be this land's ruler '' he smiled.
The crowd was bigger then anyone could have imagined, no one has realized this many people lived around the kingdom, Jin and Jimin came out to the square, and stood in front of thousands and thousands of people. The northland prince was carrying the crown of the kingdom in his hand, gaining the complete attention of the crowd: '' Listen well ! for I am here to announce to you a new beginning... this might not be an easy one but it sure will be a brave one! I am the prince of the northland and here beside me is the prince of the center kingdom...'' the crowd howled in surprise '' ...He is no different than us, for he has the same purpose as us, to take back our land and our freedom! '' Jimin yelled making the crowd cheer at every word '' now I know that the eastern land army are no cowards, I know you are loyal to your people, and I ask of you to show yourselves and to follow your new king to his new quest'', suddenly, many men started raising their hand, it seems like they were soldiers disguised as peasants, and a few seconds later more then half the crowd were handed pulled up in the air screaming their army name '' the Jaguars ''. Jimin, satisfied by the reaction, smiled and continued '' Promise this new king's loyalty and his will promise your freedom ! for I already entrusted him mine ...'' he said looking towards Jin ''I present you, your new king! seokjin, son of Erwan, the descendant of the red blood dragon and king of eastern land kingdom'' Jimin announced followed by hails of crowd and army, Lilia was standing among the people, tears of joy coming down her face. '' What are...'' Jin was completely confused, '' You are a better king then I am, we all believe in you my lord '' Jimin reassured gently pushing him towards the front. The young man still overwhelmed with this unpredictable moment took a deep breath, then raised his hand saluting every person screaming his name. His most fearful dream has finally come true, he was king.
