The magnificent and opulent palace stood in the middle of the kingdom overlooking the land of Astrella...a kingdom ruled by the Scarlet Moon Coven of the Lunarian empire

The people of Astrella adored their King and Queen and their two beloved Prince..the kingdom unlike Astraxus prospered under the rule of their King...who was now bedridden due to an ailment...and thus the talks of making the prince take the crown had begun

And we speak..the eldest prince of Astrella...a handsome young man of twenty seven...stood in the balcony attached to his chamber.. sipping on his wine....when he noticed the silver glimmery winged creature making its way towards him.... His raven orbs glowed red as the phoenix sat on his held out arm with him murmuring a soft

' What is the bratty prince upto?'

We need help

The Prince's smile faltered at the message...as he quickly rushed back inside his chamber grabbing his bow and arrow before moving towards the phoenix... his eyes glowing blue and red...the silver bird mirroring those colors as he breathed out

' Take me to him'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' Min Yoongi shi'

Yoongi stilled on his tracks when he heard someone calling out his name...he looked aside and saw one of the palace guards

' Oh..You are here? I asked you all to take the night off' Yoongi tried to play it cool

' Yes...but..the Prince ordered us to be here' The guard explained 'But that turned out to be good... we have some intruders '

Yoongi's face paled...' Intruders?'

' Yes...two of them..some of our guards have went behind them....'

' Where are they...take me there!' Yoongi ordered.. the guard nodding frantically before asking Yoongi to follow him

🍁🍁🍁🍁

Namjoon was sitting in the garden lost in thoughts when he saw Jin rushing out...

' Jin' He called out making the elder stop and look at him

' Yeah?'

' Are you alright?' Namjoon asked seeing the fear on his face

' Yeah..I am' Jin nodded

' But you-'

' Look...Joo-Prince...I don't have time for this now...we will talk later' So saying Jin ran out leaving a slightly hurt Namjoon back

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' Taehyung'

Taehyung pulled back from Jungkook's embrace..the Prince's arm quickly wrapping around the elder's waist protectively as they both stared at the new face

'Lee Minhyuk shi?' Taehyung mumbled..remembering the healer ' What are you doing here?'

' The guards are hurrying this way... quickly get into my cart ' Minhyuk said frantically as he pointed at the horse cart behind him

Jungkook and Taehyung shared an uncertain look with each other

' Hurry!!' Minhyuk urged them and knowing well that there is no way out of here.. both of them quickly got into the cart and Minhyuk drove right away

' What were you both doing in the wood at this time?' Minhyuk tilted his head a bit to look at them..

' I wanted some fresh air' Jungkook replied coyly

' Seems like you both like to get fresh air together' Minhyuk chuckled...his eyes darting towards the marks on Taehyung's neck for a mere second

' What do you want?' Jungkook asked firmly

' Huh?' Minhyuk looked confused

' In return of hiding this truth...what do you want?' Jungkook's sweaty palms found their safe place in Taehyung's soft ones...

' Why do you think I'd need something in return?' There was a playful glint in Minhyuk's tone

' Because Astraxians never do anything without expecting something in return' Jungkook spat...his voice dripping venom

' May be am a bit different' Minhyuk stopped the cart and that's when the other two noticed that they were back to the castle

' No Astraxian can ever be understanding' Jungkook argued getting down with Taehyung

' Who said am an Astraxian?' Minhyuk smiled

' Huh?'

' I don't need anything in return my Prince...I know about all the hardships you had to go through..and I won't make it any more worse' Minhyuk took a small step closer 'Healers of Astrella stay true to their words my Prince'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

Yoongi stared at the dead soldiers on the ground drowned in a pool of their own blood...

' Yoongi shi I think it's the Astrellains' The solider spoke up ' We are closer to their borders..am sure its them'

Yoongi didn't know what to say...he can't blame anyone from Astrella and fuel up the rivalry...nor can he reveal that it's the cursed Prince and his guard who were behind this

' Min Yoongi shi' Another soldier came running upto them ' Why is Nyx tied at the other side of the woods'

Yoongi turned around to look at him 'Nyx?'

' Was it not you?'

' Yes!' Yoongi blurted out ' I mean...I had let her out to graze and then I got busy with Namjoon's work... I actually came back to take her with me when I saw you all'

' Oh..' The soldier nodded...' Should we check around anymore'

' I don't think that will be useful' Yoongi refused 'Whoever did this must have escaped by now... let's just take their bodies back and do the needed'

The guards nodded and got onto work....and they all were about to leave when Yoongi noticed the bloodied emerald dagger lying on the ground.. hidden below a tuft of grass

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' What was he saying?' Taehyung asked totally clueless as they both walked into the castle 'And who helped us.. Jungkook I need to know all these-'

' Kim Taehyung!'

The loud voice scared the hel out of them both making them stop in their tracks and stare wide eyed at the person in front of them

' Jin hyung'

' Where were you both?' Jin asked exasperated but his expression slowly morphed into that of pure horror when he looked at Taehyung ' Why are you bleeding?'

And that's when Jungkook noticed the cut over the elder's forearm

' Hyung it's nothing-' Taehyung fell silent as Jin just walked back in..in search of some clean cloth and herbs to heal the wound

' Tae!! Kook'

Just then Yoongi came running him... panting hard as he stopped next to them... looking at both of them with relief filled eyes ' Thank god you both are safe..'

Taehyung and Jungkook shook his head preventing Yoongi from saying anything further but the elder was too caught up in his own thoughts and fears that he didn't realize that Jin was back and was glaring hard at them three

' When I heard that Joon made the guards go into the same side of the forest where you both were supposed to go-'

' They were supposed to go?'

Yoongi felt blood draining out of his body just by the voice...his fear filled eyes meeting an equally scared Taehyung and Jungkook

' Care to explain' Jin came and stood next to Taehyung.. wiping off the blood and slowly applying the herbs

' Hyung-'

' I wanted to go out of the castle for a night and they both were obliged to obey me' Jungkook spoke up.. praying hard for Jin to buy it but who was he kidding

' Pull your Prince attitude in front of the King and his son and not me Jungkook!' Jin spat ' Me and Yoongi practically raised you...we were there for you even more than your Namjoon hyung so don't try to pull this shit in front of me'

Jungkook hanged his head low....scared as hell... His Jin hyung would be the sweetest thing ever but not when angry

' And you Min Yoongi how did you even think that it would be a nice idea to sent them both to the Northern borders?' Jin turned towards Yoongi who was now staring back at him with big innocent eyes ' And don't look at me like that..it won't work this time'

' But nothing bad happened' Taehyung mumbled

' Ofcourse... That's why there is blood all over your clothes and face...' Jin scoffed 'How many guards are injured?'

' Am...not sure-'

' Yoongi!' Jin abruptly called making the said male flinch

' 6 dead...1 injured'

Jin fell silent... processing the information before turning towards Taehyung ' Who helped you?'

' Huh?' Yoongi looked confused

' N-no one hyung' Taehyung stuttered.. leaning back a bit into Jungkook's side...he terribly needed to be back in Jungkook's arms or else he will cry any second

' Are you kidding me Taehyung' Jin shook his head.. visibly fuming ' We both know that it's not true'

' And why is that?' Yoongi blurted out even before he could control his tongue 'I mean... Taehyung is a skilled soldier like you-'

' You know what?' Jin cut him off ' It was the northern border...no one saw their faces... so let's just put the blame on the vampires'

' What!?' Both Yoongi and Jungkook exclaimed together

' You got a problem there?' Jin asked challenging

' That's not right hyung..we can't blame them' Yoongi argued

' Then what will you tell the King? That his very dear Jungkookiee and the son of the runaway guard created all these havoc?' Jin rolled his eyes

' But that doesn't mean we can just blame them' Jungkook frowned..' Hyung they are innocent-'

' Oh they never can be innocent!' Jin chuckled dryly

' What's gotten into you?' Taehyung finally asked 'This isn't like you Jin hyung'

' Stop deciding things on your own for once ok?' Jin glared at his brother 'And am going to inform the king that it was the Astrellains who were behind this and it was the order of the prince of Astrella-'

' Prince of Astrella will never do that because he loves me!' Yoongi yelled ' He would never do anything which will in anyway hurt me because we both love each other!'

The whole castle fell silent... Taehyung and Jungkook staring in disbelief while Jin sighed stepping forward as Yoongi begged

' Don't do anything which will increase the rivalry hyung... don't do anything which will make me fight against the one I love'

' Yoongi ah' Jin had a soft smile ' You could have told me this before'

Yoongi blinked back his tears as he looked at Jin's extended hands where lied his letter..or more precisely The letter from the prince of Astrella ' I got it from the hallway...you dropped it while rushing off '

' You..are fine with it?' Yoongi asked scared as he took back the letter

' As long as he doesn't break your heart... hyung is fine'

Yoongi threw himself into Jin's arms who hugged him back tightly

Taehyung smiled... looking at Jungkook whose eyes were glistening with happy tears..but none of their happy moments lasted long as they heard footsteps behind them

' Woah...what a wonderful sight'

Yoongi pulled back turning around ' Joon?'

' Look at this beautiful family here' Namjoon said sarcastically ' My brother decided to take a late night stroll in the forest away from his Golden cage... His guard decided it's better to kill 6 soldiers...my best friend had to go and fall in love with the enemy prince and my guard decided to support them all...great!'

' Namjoon ah' Jin stepped forward but stopped when Namjoon held his hand out

' Do you even know the sin you are committing Yoongi?' Namjoon asked

Yoongi's heart crumbled at the disappointed look on his best friend's face... This reaction...this very reaction was what kept him from telling anyone about his vampire prince... Yoongi nibbled on his lips..his brows furrowed and eyes glistening with unshed tears as he looked down 'Am sorry'

' As You should be' Namjoon scoffed but stilled when he heard Jungkook laugh ' What is so funny Jungkook?'

' Oh..my apologies' Jungkook said controlling his chuckle ' I thought we were upto something fun...no?'

' What do you mean?' Namjoon crossed his arms over his chest while the others stared at the cursed Prince

' I mean...Yoongi hyung is saying sorry...that too without him doing anything wrong-'

' Nothing wrong?' Namjoon asked shocked ' He is in love with the enemy..he is in love with a man!'

' So were you' Jungkook shrugged... satisfaction spreading over his chest when he saw Namjoon's facade falling ' Weren't you?'

' Jungkook.. don't cross your limit!'

' It's you who is playing with others lives and crossing limits..so don't yell at me' Jungkook's voice hardened 'We all know why the eldest son of the king's enemy is back in Astraxus...we all know who gave him the courage to do that...and we all know who made him dream so big only to break it!'

' Jungkook'

' Don't stop me Jin hyung' Jungkook's voice softened for a second... ' And you Kim Namjoon...my Yoongi hyung did no wrong...he is just in love and that's completely natural'

' He loves a man-'

' So do I!!' There... Jungkook dropped the bomb...he felt all eyes on him..but his gaze didn't waver..nor his stance..he stood firm to his ground still glaring at his hyung'

' You do what?' Namjoon asked utterly shocked

' I love someone' Jungkook announced loud and firm 'I love a man'

' Who?' Namjoon asked... waiting with racing heart while Jungkook just kept quiet... it's not like he is afraid to declare it to the world who holds his heart.. it's just he wasn't sure if Taehyung was ready to take such a big risk

' Am asking you something Jungkook..whom do you lov-' Namjoon's words died down...his eyes widening when he saw Taehyung stepping forward... interlacing his fingers with Jungkook's

' We love each other' Taehyung confirmed..his confident grey orbs looking straight at the shaken prince

' You?' Namjoon finally found his voice...' No this can't be happening'

Jin frowned seeing Namjoon shaking his head and stepping back.. before abruptly looking at Jungkook ' It must be this boy...r-right it must be this boy who lured you into this'

' Namjoon!' ' Hyung' Both Jin and Jungkook called warningly but Namjoon didn't pay them any heed.. it was as if he was in some headspace as he continued

' Jungkook ah....' Namjoon frantically called him ' You are not someone to take such a reckless decision...'

' Namjoon it's enough!' Jin said cautiously while Yoongi held onto his hand

' This boy must have been so desperate for someone like you...must have been so greedy to be with someone like you.. that he must have seduced you-' Namjoon's voice died down...his whole body freezing as a sword stopped just over his chest..the sharp edge almost cutting his skin

' Not a single word Kim Namjoon' Jungkook's voice sounded inhumane with his eyes glowing green and and a golden glow over his held out arm... ' A single word against My Taehyung again and Jongwook wouldn't have a son to crown the kingdom anymore!'

' Jungkook' Taehyung hugged him... trying to calm him down ' Drop the sword precious'

Jungkook glared hard at the pale prince before lowering his hand... wrapping it around Taehyung's waist..with the sword falling down onto the floor with a clang

' You both will no longer stay together!'

Taehyung's heart dropped as he abruptly pulled back from Jungkook's hold turning around to look at Namjoon..who looked dead serious

' No' He whispered..as he saw his biggest fear coming true ' You can't do that'

' I can and I will!' Namjoon asserted looking at Jungkook who looked back at him with nothing less than hatred 'You both aren't supposed to be together..and I'll make sure you maintain your distance from each other..Also..Kim Taehyung I order you to be sent out of this Kingdom within a month'

The thick silence of the castle was broken by the soft sobs of Taehyung who fell on his knees in front of Namjoon 'Please don't do this hy-hyung.... I love him-'

' Defying the crown prince's order is not good Taehyung!' Namjoon reminded

' Get up' Jungkook said pulling Taehyung up.. bringing him into his chest before looking back at Namjoon

' You will never understand the depth of our love Namjoon! You will never understand what true love is!' Jungkook spat ' What made you think that anyone let alone Tae would be desperate to be with a caged prince? I was drowning in the darkness within me all these years captured within the four walls...when he walked into my life and oh so easily brightened up everything..He is my Estel hyung...the brightest star in the night sky...who drove away the darkness...who guided my path out of my own miseries! But you...you are just like your father... a selfish asshole who won't hesitate to harm anyone who dare go against your ideas and decisions! And you know what? Today let me show justice to my oh so precious title...'

Jin's eyes widened when he understood what Jungkook meant....but before Jin could stop-

' Today...this cursed Prince of Astraxus.. keeping the three moons as his witness curses you Kim Namjoon...to live a life of misery!' Jungkook's skin lit up with green patterns..strands of his hair glowing green while his emerald eyes were rimmed with silver... looking nothing less than a godly figure ' With the powers bestowed upon me by the Stars of Astraxus I curse you to die the most painful death... You will die without anyone to mourn for you...without anyone to love you...you will crave to be held one last time by your loved ones but no one will be there to even look at you! I curse you to be miserable till your last breath!'

' Enough Jungkook!' Yoongi yelled stopping him

Jin's heart broke as a helpless sob left him...his teary eyes fixed onto Namjoon who was rooted to his place..his face blank as he spoke up

' Yoongi...assign a trustworthy guard here'

' What if they saw Taehyung? Or what if the king says something against it' Yoongi asked desperately ignoring the scoff the left Jungkook 'Namjoon ah we can talk this out-'

' It's the crown prince's order....the king won't have a say in it' Namjoon turned around to leave 'And make sure you assign someone whom you trust...even if they see Taehyung..the king shouldn't be informed about it'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

The guards bowed in respect as the crown prince walked in... going directly towards his chamber... closing the door with a thud before sliding down it.. sitting on the floor with his back against the door...

' A-am sorry' He whispered breaking into heart wrenching cries ' Am so sorry baby... hyung had to do it'

He hid his face in his hands crying his heart out... his loud broken sobs filling the emptyness of the chamber ' I had to do this to protect you both... T-the King won't think twice before killing you both if he even gets an idea of it...Hyung is sorry Jungkook ah... hyung is extremely sorry'

🍁🍁🍁🍁

' Have you seen the crown prince?' Jin asked one of the guards

' The prince is in his chamber' The guard replied..

Jin thanked him before running off in the direction of Namjoon's chamber.... It was a good thing that only Yoongi and Jin had access to the side where Namjoon's chamber is...he can talk to him properly without anyone listening to them...Jin needed answers..many of them..for he knew that no matter how Namjoon behaves with him..he will never do anything that will hurt his little Jungkook

Jin raised his hand about to knock on the door when

Am so sorry baby... hyung had to do it
