To have a happy ending with you, you must say.

Imagine, you found your true love.

Nevertheless, if the one you loved so far, rises only to destroy your everything. would it be called a fairytale or a nightmare?

Well....would you like to witness such a beautiful yet frightful story of a young prince who fell in love with a commoner...of an enemy empire?

who was not a commoner as he made him believe.......

Kim Taehyung, The Only Prince of Xilan, was an immensely bright and lively child and he grew up to become an even more beautiful and adorable boy. His people loved him as much as they loved the king.

However,Prince Taehyung never felt the warmth of his mother. He was brought up by his father and his nanny Somi.

His Father never married anyone else after his beloved wife was killed. He didnot want his precious child to have a step mother. He did everything he could so that his little child was loved and pampered.

The Prince never had to ask for anything because his father, The King of Xilan always provided him more than anything he could ask for. He gave him his time despite having to bear the responsibilities of both a king and a Queen all by himself. He cherished him like a petal. He never once neglected him and never let anyone neglect him...

Every year near his Birthday, The king held a festival for his people. The streets and places were decorated with green and white flowers, exhibiting how Taehyung looked with his green eyes and blonde hair. It was known as the moon festival. just how Taehyung was the King's only light in the empty world similar to the moon in the dark night.

One day on the last night of moon festival in Xilan

The amber eyed Prince Kim Taehyung, was standing on the balcony of his sleeping chambers. Every strand of his blonde curly hair, was swaying with the cold breeze of the beautiful full moon night. He could see the decorated streets, flashing lanterns and Vendors selling different items in the market.

He was tempted to go there as his friend, which was a canary, told him about a group of merchants who came from a kingdom and sold ivory swords.

He could talk to that friend, a bird, he was a gifted divine child. He could talk to animals and coul do much more, which was not known to anyone except those who were close to him.

"Young Prince, You should go to sleep now", Somi, Taehyung's nanny spoke while covering him with a warm knitted kaftan.

"Nana i want to go there....my friend told me that there are new merchants who came today", Taehyung's eyes glittered as he spoke. He looked fairly excited to see those merchants. How could he not, those merchants were from Pedishah. The name of the empire itself made him excited, he never saw a pedishan. They were romoured to be one of the most skilled warriors and craftsmen. A Pedishan sword was one of the finest made goods on the whole continent.

Even, His father had one. It was so mesmerizing to see him wield it with such an elegance yet ruthless force whenever he trained Taehyung.

He was ought to buy one for himself as well.

"Umm....But Prince it is going to be midnight soon. It is dangerous", Somi tried to convince the excited prince to drop the idea.

"But they will be gone by tomorrow and i really really wanted to get what they have", He whined as he hugged his nanny tightly, trying to make her give in to his cuteness.

After alot of convincing and denying the nanny agreed.

"Please ask the King to send some royal guards with you while you go out", Somi said as she made his bed.

"i will, you shall not worry Nana", The boy said as he changed into some commoner like clothes which still looked rich. He could wear rags and still look ethereal in them.

'i am not a fool to tell father, he will never let me go out at such a time, and that to for getting a pedishan item, lets just make Hoseok go with me', the boy smiled and ran away from his chambers while waving at his Nanny.

The hustle and bustle of the market captivated the prince in the colorful night. He was not alone he had his canary friend and a smiling young man named Jung hoseok, his personal guard, along to guide the way. He was talking to the canary with a veil on his lower face. People were giving him pitiful looks, they thought the noble boy was somewhat crazy.

Taehyung giggled at such people and moved ahead in the crowd.

"We are here", Taehyung clapped as he reached the tent of the merchants. It was Crowded and it made him a little anxious. But he managed to go at the front.

"Hoseok, i will come back, you stay here" , Taehyung smiled and Hoseok nodded at him.

"Young master what would you like..?", a middle aged man asked as he clasped his hands in welcome.

"I want the ivory swords from Pedishah", he chimed loudly and looked to his side.

All of the people gave him bizzare looks as if he really looked crazy right now.

The man rushed to shush the boy and held his hand to take him somewhere.

"whare awe we going?", the muffled noises came from his mouth while the man sighed and showed him the way, towards the camp at the back.

"There..", he pointed at a camp with a lot of dark haired men sitting around a bonfire.

"them..?", Taehyung asked as he looked at his canary friend and gulped.

'no way, those people look scary', Taehyung thought and his confidence went downhill.

"o-okay thankyou", he bowed to the man as a curtesy and moved ahead slowly. The man nodded an went back.

"friend, are you sure they are merchants?", he asked the canary as he walked past a man with a scar on his eye.

"you are saying you saw them with the swords this morning", Taehyung nodded and went to a young looking guy, who looked less scary.

"h-hello..i want to buy a sword", he asked as he fiddled with the hem of his sleeve.

The boy smiled at him and took him in the tent. There was a variety of warfare supply there. swords, spears, shields and wait.

His eye caught the glimpse of something peculiar, A sword , A black sword, no an immense black sword which laid there without its scabbard. It looked dangerous and magnificent. He felt drawn towards it. So he did what he should have, asked its price to the boy.

The boy's eyes went huge, he looked around and spoke hastily,

"T-That is not for sale".

"Why so?", Taehyung asked. he really liked it.

"It has its owner already, he is standing there", the boy said as he pointed towards someone.

"Who?", Taehyung asked as he turned to look in that direction.

When he looked at him, it felt like the world stopped.

The man he was looking at, was utterly handsome and striking even as he petted his dark black horse. Taehyung was lost in a trance. His dark black hair tied near his shoulders and his posture showing such a dominating demeanor.

He was just admiring, when the handsome man looked back, directly into his green orbs.

for a moment, he felt he had seen dark red charcoals burning in the irises of this man. As if He was caught in a trap set to lure him in.

He snapped out of it and got baffled as the man started approaching him with a dangerous stance.

Everything about the man shouted danger.

"Who is he?", The dark haired and red eyed- black eyed man asked the younger boy from earlier.

'his eyes are black..? but they looked red'

" just here to buy a s-sword", he said looking down on his feet.

"Why did you motion towards me then", his voice was deep, so deep that it gave Taehyung shivers.

"I want to buy your sword", Taehyung did not know how, when and from where the confidence came in him to demand him. but he felt good about it.

The dark haired man raised an eyebrow at him and then smirked at him. His eyes looked darker than before.

"My sword, you mean this one", he went near Muerte, he picked it up and walked towards Taehyung.

"You want to buy My sword, do you know what this even is?", Taehyung felt like he was mocking him.

"This is just a sword why are you being so petty? i have money and i will buy it with whatever amount you want. You are but A Merchant", Taehyung never lets anyone disrespect him. He will never let this man do so too, so he moved closer and looked him right in the eyes.

The man in front of him looked amused, excited even as he chuckled darkly.

He gestured Taehyung to take his sword....

"No your Highne- i mean Sir. He is but a buyer. i will show him something else you donot need to-", before he could finish the sentence the other moved his eyes towards him and tilted his head.

The young boy went quiet and just looked down.

What Taehyung did'nt notice was that he was trembling.

"Here you can have it", he said while his eyes became a light shade of red.

Taehyung was so happy, to notice the man's face or his crimson eyes. Finally, he thought, 'wow, such a pretty one'.

"Fine then", Taehyung just like he would handle any other sword, He tried to grab the sword by its hilt,

"Agghhh" , He hissed in pain.

his hand was burnt, red blotches appearing on his beautiful pale hand.

he looked at the man wide eyed while his face was schrunched in pain.

"Who are you...?", He took a step back and looked in horror at the man..

"I am someone whom you should not know....." , His voice was low but fierce and Taehyung felt like he was not supposed to be here.

"L-Let me show you s-something else" ,the boy said as he held Taehyung's hand and dragged him out of there and broke the eerie silence in that place.

As they left that camp...Taehyung looked back and whispered, "God he was scary"

"And who are you....? can i know your name at least?", Taehyung said as he broke free from his hold.

" Its Park Jimin..and please go for now, its not safe, i mean its late and there are robbers everywhere" ,he said while looking at anything but Him.

"but you are going to leave tom-"

"No, we are going to stay for a while", he said and tried his best to plead him to go away.

Taehyung nodded and went back.

"Young Prince, you didn't buy anything" hoseok said as he looked at Taehyung with a frown.

"Ah...nothing caught my eye" , Taehyung said, he was still in a daze. His wound was already healed but it hurt so bad.

Hoseok looked unsatisfied with the answer but nodded anyway.

As they walked towards the Palace, Taehyung was lost in his thoughts about a rather Interesting Someone....

'Who was he....?'
