"EOMMA..??"

The white light of the moon was creating a calm and serene environment in the huge room, but it wasn't able to calm the burning rage inside of a certain deep voiced demon. There he sat on his bed, breathing heavily, his eyes fixed on a portrait hanging on the wall,his mind filled with various thoughts.

"Why? Why again? Why now? What are you trying to tell me? What is it that I am missing and I should know? "Came a groan out of his mouth as he grabbed his hair frustratedly. He stayed like that for the next few minutes before getting up from his bed in one swift move.

His eyes still fixed at that one portrait, as he approached it with quick but steady steps. Upon reaching his destination, his fingers traced the borders of the framed photo as he voiced out his thoughts,

"What is the meaning of this dream? Why do I always see the incident, of that one day, which I despise so much. Is there something I have yet to figure out?? " He paused for a bit as he studied the female demon in the portrait again.
Everything, just everything about her screamed utmost kindness and positivity.

As if there was no place of negativity around her. Her features were very normal but still very extraordinary. Her eyes had so many emotions inside them along with numerous secrets. But something about her usual tranquil gaze was different today.
She was looking troubled or that's how her son saw it. He was troubled ever since that unfortunate day, getting dreams of that same day again and again. It stopped happening for a long time in between then why was he seeing the same dream again especially when he has just ascended the throne as the king of hell.
There were many questions and the only answer he had for now was to continue searching. Searching for the truth. The truth which wasn't revealed, which was never discovered as it was hidden behind the bizarre walls of uncountable mendacious stories.

The young ruler closed his eyes for a moment to calm his heart down. And the next time he opened them, he found himself staring passionately at his mother's portrait. His eyes were now blood red with unshed tears sparkling in the partly lit room, as his lips turned upwards into a smile which seemed more like a smirk.

"To you, who is behind this unforgivable act, wait for me,
for I, will be your optimum slayer~~ "

Upsetting. It gets increasingly upsetting. When you are already going through an emotional turmoil. When you couldn't get enough rest due to a nightmare you dread so much, especially when your days are longer than expected.

When you have so many responsibilities on your shoulders. And in the middle of all of this seeing an empty place in your second official royal court can be very disheartening. Mainly when that space belongs to your own younger brother.

It so happened that, the young ruler, who goes by the name Kim Taehyung, was having his second official royal court. He was being filled in with all the happenings of different kingdoms and the areas which aren't under any kingdoms but still have to be governed properly.

Taehyung was engrossed in the information till the very end as his mind made notes of a certain gang of rogue demons threatening innocent passersby. He even noted that it was somewhere near the supreme kingdom of Augosuga.

He knew the kingdom will take care of this alarming matter soon having complete faith in his hyung. But they were also ready to step in, if needed. This was followed by a few more matters before a voting round was done to get the majority opinions on a particular matter.

That is when the king's eyes landed on the empty seat. The seat which was empty in the last court as well. The fact that it bothered the demon would be an understatement, cuz he was more than bothered, he was frustrated.

This frustration took Taehyung to his current location. This location was the royal library's main entry. Now, the problem was the lack of confidence.

The ruler of Hell was scared to open a mere door and step inside his own palace's library as he feared that he would act on his emotions yet again and will end up hurting the pure demon inside due to his overdramatic self.

He knew he has to handle it calmly and his choice of words should be on point. For he was now going to face Kim Jinho, the only prince of hell and the beloved brother of the ruler. With an inaudible sigh Taehyung entered the home of millions and millions books of hell. All of different kinds and secrets.

But all Taehyung thought of was his little brother he loved oh so dearly. But the thing was, Jinho wasn't little but for Taehyung he was. A kid who still needs to be put on the right path as he tends to get into trouble quite often.

Who can be fed the most absurd of facts and he would still believe all of it. You can't blame him though. The young prince was naive and easily influenced. He needed to be prepared well for the world and Taehyung had pledged that he would train and protect his younger brother always.

But then the timing never went well for the two brothers. The two brothers weren't at loggerheads, but they weren't at peace as well. They rarely spent time with each other, even worse, they don't even see each other except for a few instances.

It's like they both are existing in their own worlds while they live under the same roof.

The same place they called Home. Their home. Taehyung wasn't even sure if the palace should be called as their abode cuz the feeling was long gone, along with their sole provenance of all those congenial feelings which are present in one's abode. That sole source was their mother. The only reason as to why the royal family didn't go insane.

It was quite expected for the family relations to worsen more after the Queen's untimely and unfortunate demise. Their father got busier in all the royal matters and never visited the young princes. The poor boys never got any sense of comfort from anyone.

Taehyung was luckier in that case as he got the love and care from his hyungs as he would just go and cry in their embrace for who knows how long.

Jinho didn't have any of it. It was not like everyone was biased for taehyung, Jinho never asked for any help nor did he ever try to seek any comfort from his own brother. Even when Taehyung was the one to approach him, Jinho would just be sitting still staring into nothing talking to noone. Eventually, Taehyung decided to give him some space, always leaving his room's door open at night hoping that maybe, just maybe, his brother will come to him.

But that day never arrived and so his brother never arrived too. When taehyung finally decided to force his brother out of his shocked and hazed state he was hit hard in the face with yet another appalling news which made his whole world crumble into pieces and that was his father's death.

This followed with all the royal responsibilities, advisors and practically the whole kingdom of hell crashed themselves right on the elder prince's shoulders.
He was already struggling with so many things at once and the next thing he heard, was Jinho locking himself in the royal library with no intention to come out.

The demon king was okay with it but the other skipping meals was highly unacceptable. Hence, the elder of the two had paid the younger one a visit and thankfully enough he wasn't shut out like all the other royal maids.
Taehyung still doesn't know how, but let's just say he was able to pursue the younger to not skip meals at a condition that he won't be disturbed whenever he was in the library which was basically, always.

But this doesn't mean everything was fine. The younger Prince had his share of responsibilities too and he was very openly challenging them all. This had to be changed and so the king now stands in the middle of the endless assemblage of all types of books.

His eyes wandered all around the large place until they landed on a figure whose entire concentration was fixed on the book in his not so delicate hands. His hair were jet black, eyes shaped like an almond but quite attractive nonetheless. He was a demon with a perfect nose and plump lips with a desirable face cut. All in all the young prince was a sight to behold.
The prince was still clueless of another presence around him as his elder brother took slow and steady steps towards him.
Eyes fixated at his brother, the demon king called out,

"Hello there, little brother~"

xxxxxx----------xxxxxxx

Hello, hi, brother, sister, respect, gentle and similar words like these just didn't exist in their dictionary. The dictionary of the royal siblings of Augosuga that is.

The duo was very serious in dealing with the royal matters. Both always presenting a straight face while being truly dedicated to their kingdom and it's demons.
But their cold and always serious side is what they show to the world because what happens in the closed walls of the royal palace was the total opposite of what was known to the commoners.

The most feared king of Augosuga, who was sitting in his office and going through the royal matters with a serious face just a while back, now had a faint smile adorning his handsome face as he reminisced how he actually made his way back to his destiny which he had ridiculed and refused to accept.

How his whole life could have gone to a completely different path but he was saved due to a decision he can never regret in this life. And that decision was his sister who he loves dearly but will he ever show that. Nope. Never.

He was known to be the emotionless king, who is only kind to the innocent demons whatsoever. Moreover, this sister he was thinking about wasn't just any ordinary girl.
She was a demon with many layers to her personality and it's totally upto you which layer do you unfold first.

The king's train of thoughts were interrupted by a loud whiny voice calling out to him and the next thing he knew was that the princess of Augosuga, who unfortunately, happens to be his sister as well, is approaching him with a sinister smile on her pretty face.

Yoongi remained unfazed by all of it as he stood on his spot without moving. The girl got nearer and nearer, the sinister smile not leaving her face until she was just at a hands distance from her brother.

The king observed the princess's every move and also the sudden change of expression as she now adorned an eerily blank face.

"You. Ordered. The. Royal. Chefs. To . Throw. Away. My . Super. Precious............ flowers? My favourite flowers?" she asked with an unreadable expression.

"I mean, they weren't doing anyone any good you know~ so I threw them away. But you can always get more, they aren't found that far away anyways.." was the reply she got from the demon in front of her, as he shrugged his shoulders. Yes. He had the audacity to do that.

"Not that far away? I can always get more? Yeah. Of course!! I can always get more just like you can replace that thing I destroyed with so much love. Can't you??" she asked in the most innocent yet cunning voice.

Yoongi's eyes widened, as he started to sweat. He looked intently at the girl, who remained unfazed and that pushed him to rush out of his office door straight to his beloved bedroom.

Upon reaching, his eyes immediately searched for 'that thing' before finally spotting it.
There it was. His first love. His favourite thing of all time. His freaking bed!! It lay there broken completely as no mercy was shown while destroying it.

"MIN VIRAINAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! " he thundered, ready to burn everything down. ( Bow wow wow 🤣🤣🔥🔥)

"Yes~~~ my dearest brother, what happened? Oh- your bed is destroyed~~ no worries! You can have a new one by tomorrow. Sleep on the floor tonight, hmm?" she said way too casually for his liking. But the king knew, he was the one to mess around in the first place so something like this was bound to happen because his sister always took her revenge, no matter who is against her.

A deep sigh escaped his lips as he composed himself before saying,
"okay okay~ we both are done with each other now. No more of these brainless attacks on the other. Nonetheless, we don't have time for all this, we have to complete the royal affairs as soon as possible and then leave"
This caught the girl's attention.

"Leave? Where are we going?" she asked, genuinely intrigued.

"The main palace..we weren't there for the coronation ceremony as the new ruler of hell started his reign and I haven't yet congratulated my dongsaeng for that matter. Also, there is going to be the royal gathering soon where every king's presence is important and so we will stay there until the gathering.." yoongi explained patiently as the younger of the two hummed in response, taking in the new information slowly before exiting the room after her brother who was already out of the room as he couldn't stand the site of his precious bed, slaughtered like that.

««Later that day»»

Bumping into each other can either be a case of mere carelessness from both or one of the sides or a mind clouded with stress and worries.

Hence Viri, who bumped into Hyunjay, the royal advisor, was now trying to find out the reason of the latter's worries. She sensed that it was something related to the kingdom and she had every right to know about it.

As Yoongi was busy in other state affairs, things had to be taken care of to lessen the burden on the king and so after her continuous questions, Hyunjay finally decided to spill the beans. The advisior sighed and closed his eyes before explaining the situation to his princess,

"We got a lead that the gang of rogue demons who have been creating quite a havoc along the borders of our kingdom for a while now, have taken their threats and loots to another level. They have taken over some agricultural fields of poor demons along with harassing the masses on a daily basis. I looked into the matter myself and found out their location as well, they are currently settled down somewhere near your favourite flowers garden. I was just going to discuss the matter with the kin- " he stopped speaking when he intended to make eye contact but ended up with an empty space before him. He looked around to look for the only listener he had but she was nowhere to be found.

"Where did she go? I'm pretty sure I was explaining the situation to her? Aishhh!! These siblings are going to make me crazy.." he muttered before continuing his way towards the throne room.

Unknown to him, his only listener was now walking out of the palace with quick strides as the guards approached her to get the orders.

"Get the carriage, we are leaving for my flower garden. I think it's been long since I gave it a make-over, there must be some weeds growing around which need to be ripped off of their origin.." were her words, before she stepped out of the palace with a smirk on her face.
