~ •∆• LAST NIGHT •∆• ~

But he doesn't think he will get the answer of these questions by the book as it was running thin, pages were torn and some very destroyed to even read and this frustrated Jungkook. He wanted the question of these answers.

Actually, the books he was reading were many, and he got to know about the curse and how their relationship with neighboring Kingdom ruined was there, but it was just a rough overview, nothing in deep details. The books he was reading were different, some were ancient history books telling Jungkook's ancestors actions and how the kingdom loved them, but who knows if it was true or not?

He got these books from the Royal Library of Elysoria, first he accidentally stumbled upon the history book of Elysoria and there he read about how the relation of Elysoria was so good with Seraphine, the two kings were good friends, and the queens were the definition of true besties, and this got Jungkook to think upon what went wrong that it is highly prohibited to enter that kingdom, what happened so that Elysoria cut off all relations with Seraphine. From there, Jungkook tried his level best to find all related books to get to know the past.

And there he also a got a journal of his grandfather, which revealed one more secret that his family has received a curse before too, but what was that curse and why they got it.

In the personal journal of his grandfather, he got to know that the curse was somewhere connected to the royal family of Seraphine, his grandfather just wrote in his journal that 'I hope the family glues together despite the curse upon them"

Another things written in the journal was just his grandfather's person life.

Jungkook sighs as he reads the lines again which makes no sense to him as the page was so much destroyed that it was of no point of reading, it seemed like someone has intentionally destroyed, but why would anyone do that?

While Jungkook was deep in thought, he heard two stern knocks on the door making him come out his stance.

And that what it took for Jungkook to get out of the so-called palace which he called his prison. He is not allowed to go anywhere. Only on special occasions, he come out of the room.

Soon he reached the Seraphine Kingdom, it was a walk of about 15 minutes to be precise.

But little did he know that he was going to meet the Royal Crowned Prince Of Seraphine now only?

The Seraphine Kingdom is a majestic realm steeped in grace and grandeur. Nestled between mist-laden mountains and crystalline lakes, it exudes a natural elegance, almost ethereal in its beauty. Its landscapes are lush with ancient forests, wildflowers, and quiet rivers that thread through the valleys like silver ribbons. Sunlight bathes the kingdom with a golden hue, reflecting off its ivory towers and marble courtyards that seem to glow with an almost celestial light. Legends say that the kingdom’s foundation is blessed by a long-forgotten goddess, who gifted the land with prosperity and beauty. This myth is often retold during the Festival of the Seraphim, a vibrant celebration marked by music, dance, and the release of lanterns that symbolize the hopes of the people.

The Kingdom is the epitome of beauty, you can find the most elated people here. The common folk loved their king, Queen and the Kingdom.

And ofcourse their, Princess Daisy. The Seraphine's kingdom's Royal Princess.

But for the outsiders, who seemed to think that the Royal family is only limited to 3 people in the palace, The King, The Queen, and The Princess were always demonstrated wrong, because there was one more member to be Hiding behind the translucent curtains of The Palace

One more member, which was never unveiled to the common folk, they only knew his name.

"TAEHYUNG"

He was believed to be just a "Mistake" made by the family, the general public didn't know much, but they knew one thing that-

"THE ROYAL FAMILY DESPISED HIM"

"he is just a mistake" "He is a disrespectful spoiled brat" "He deserves to die" "He is useless, can't be called a heir of kingdom"

And how do you think, The Seraphine Kingdom would have view about him, after listening this from his closed ones, The Royal Family.

The common people indeed thought him as a Bratty scoundrel, and thought that perhaps this was the reason of him being camouflaged, and that his was not worth it, and will only cause trouble. That's why no one mentions him.

Sometimes, there were time when The Common Masses felt pity for the young boy, but those sympathies was always concealed with the talk of his insult, mockery and Belittlement. So there was no time for them to actually think about the Green life that was caged inside the Royal room.

And Just like that days passed and passed, people stopped talking about the Prime life. That came down of their Interest list, because everyone at this point knew that he is just a messed up rascal, and he deserves the treatment he is getting.

And yet, Another day and another day with same joy and happiness in which the Kingdom lived, it was just another day.

But no matter how frustrated he was, words were never coming out, and he knew it too well.

But, Unlike other cases of people being dumb, they are born with that disability or sometimes due to some accidents, people lose their this crucial ability.

But, In Taehyung case, it was not a mere accident or a disability by birth. It was because of a curse.

A curse given to the Royal Family long back.

But his thoughts were interrupted with a few knocks from outside indicating for the permission of getting in.

But suddenly the thought of his life, the situation he was in, striked in, making his heart heavy with pain as the tears in his eyes were threatening to fall.

And As Lily found saltiness in his lips, she looked up only to see teary eyes descending laments.

Taehyung quickly signed those with his fingers, so fast that it looked abnormal, but what can he do, he can't face the girl, she is the another face of Satan.

When he finished the sentence, the usual nervousness again kicked in hard almost knocking him down, he started shivering, because of fear, because there was no reply from her and as he was looking down, he also can't even see the reaction of her, not like he has to courage to turn up her head.

But It didn't last long, as Lillian hold his chin tight between her fingers, nail digging into the soft skin like a shovel, making him hiss in discomfort.

Lillian said and slapped him once more, pushing him back in a vigorous force, which made his head bang with the wall.

And as the door clicked close, that was the moment for Taehyung to burst out into heavy tears. He held his head in his hand where it banged.

And as he was saying this, the new tears formed in his eyes overlapping the old tears as they made a temporary dry mark over his cheek showing his agony to remember when he sees it in the mirror.

He felt his breaths getting heavy, the gradual darkness that was taking in making his head pain in distress, as he heard the voices

Those voices he never wants to be reminded again and again.

He tried to form a word, to say them that it isn't his fault, to just say them to shut up. "SHUT UP"

He tried to form words trying to stop voices, but the lump in his throat betrayed him letting him hear the past with much agony.

And then it happened, with a loud thud on the floor, Taehyung fainted on the floor as the endless darkness enveloped him, leaving him like there as a lifeless person.

> Morning came, but he rose not out of hope, nor out of a will to face the day. The haunting voices that tormented him last night had faded into silence, yet the emptiness they left behind was suffocating. He awakened not because he wanted to, not because he had strength left to fight, but because his body refused to grant him the mercy of staying unconscious—a cruel reminder that even despair wouldn't let him rest.

When Taehyung stirred awake, suddenly his head throbbed sharply with searing pain, because of his head smash and yesterday's phantoms. But, If you will ask him if his head was paining. He would clearly say "What head pain?"

His head throbbed with relentless pain, but it was his heart that ached far deeper, a silent agony that no remedy could soothe.

But the thought of meeting his mother didn't arise out of nowhere. But he knows one thing, her Queen Mother surely doesn't hate him, if not loving.

Actually, Taehyung had been receiving Tender heartfelt notes from his mother, from his childhood on his birthdays or any other very auspicious occasions. Sometimes those overwhelming letters made him rethink of his life.

Taehyung's Queen mother sends him notes or letter by the royal official guards or by his Butler Lillian, she seals the letter very strongly and warns them sternly not to open it as it would cost them their life, at least that was what Taehyung overheard

But still he doesn't know, if he is loved or look out of pity.

Taehyung thought as he re-read the letter, sent by her mother few weeks ago.

THE LETTER 💌: Taehyungie, my son, I hope this letter finds you in good health. I hope you are sleeping well, eating enough and taking care of yourself as you should. Such small things, seemingly trivial, weigh heavily on my mind. My boy, Life, as it is, often demands more than it gives, and I hope you find strength at the moment it offers torment. You have always been resilient. You were not born to falter, Taehyung, You are a warrior, my little soldier, know that you carry the power to endure, you got that spirit to fight, You must fight-not for others not for approval, but for the essence of who you are. TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE. It is strange how the heart can hold what the tongue cannot utter. Words are fragile things, so easily misunderstood but actions - actions linger in the place where silence resides. Maybe you are mute, but you are not silent. You speak with your heart, louder than words ever could. You are not the sun that shines in the daylight, you are the moon guiding people through the darkest of nights. The nights might feel longer. The world has a way of making us feel as though we are walking along, but I hope, you remember, in the quiet hours that, solitude is not always abandonment. You are not alone on this Taehyungie, I will hold your hand on the darkest nights, guide you through and give your hand to your sweetheart. Take care of yourself, my baby, That is all i ask if nothing else, If you want you may come and meet me. Just remember one thing. "I am there for you no matter what" With quiet regard, Your mother.

You might wonder after all this why still Taehyung thinks that her mother pity her, the answer was simple, straight and basic.

Taehyung's lips wobbled with the weight of those words, like someone has put a weight of uncountable kilos in his tongue making it heavy, because the words surely had weight.

.

He thought as he sat on the shadow of a large mango tree, it's ripe fruits hanging, making Jungkook's stomach make voices in the desperation of eating.

He Mumbled to himself while looking at the Seraphine Kingdom map which he got from the library of Elysoria by so much effort and handwork, because it is definitely not normal to have a map of your enemy's kingdom map fleeing freely on the shelves.

But, saying that only he worked sweat and tears, is something which even he would disagree on even when teasing, because Sophia has been backing him up in every situation. She was the one who actually gathered information if there would be any map of the Seraphine Kingdom, she sent some of her super reliable friends which went and asked the common folk about it with such casualty that no one thought otherwise.

After the various stupid interviews which Sophia's friend called "S²- Sweat survey" It got to know that there were a chance of 77% for the map to be there, and it was a fair enough chance for Jungkook to actually go there and give a shot in dark.

And guess what, after hours of unearthing he actually got the dusty map under he can't count how many books

He said as he located the bridge on the map, which he was standing on and under the bridge was flowing the worshiped river of Seraphine, Celesta.
