"Finally, we arrived", she said with enthusiasm. Both of them rested a bit. She bought some food. Jungkook thanked her for the food and they both proceeded to find him. Most of the island was the forest. "Half of the island is under our control and the other half is with the native ruler.

There is a crown that got lost a few years back in a war. Whoever finds that crown would become the King of this island", she said. The forest was so thick. They reached the mainland soon. She was a pro. She didn't even get confused.

"From now, it's luck. I don't know if he or the guards would show up. Usually, someone would take me to him directly but as you are with me they might be waiting", she said. Jungkook nodded understandingly.

They were resting in a small food bar. "I wonder if Prince Taehyung will visit today as well. I want to see him", a girl giggled. "He is so kind. He even thanked me for helping him. It's not even a big deal but he thanked me in person. I think he likes me", another girl chuckled.

Jungkook looked at Mina. Mina was expressionless. "Keep dreaming. He even stayed in our house. He was discussing stuff with my father. He rested that night. I was the one who served him dinner. He even spoke to me for a while", the third girl butted in. "So, he is like that with everyone", Mina chuckled.

"I know. The royals are cruel", she muttered. "Shh! Don't bring trouble", Jungkook hissed at her. Mina stood up. She went towards the table. "Do any of you know where the Prince would be?" She asked. They looked at her suspiciously.

"Who are you?" They judged her by her clothes. "It doesn't matter. A royal messenger is here. We need to meet the Prince", she said. "Must be one of those girls who are obsessed with the Prince", others chuckled. She took something.

"The royal symbol", they gulped. It specially belonged to the Prince. Not everyone can have it. They were a bit scared now. "We don't know", they politely said. "Are you looking for me?" a honey voice hit her ears. A man who covered his face with a cloth stood a little far from her.

From his eyes, she could tell that he was smiling. "Your Highness", she muttered. She signalled Jungkook. Jungkook understood and greeted him. Others looked at them and kept observing. "You are from my sister, right?" he asked. Jungkook was quite surprised.

"How did he know?" he was taken aback a little. As if he read Jungkook's mind he said, "the ring", he pointed. "Ah! Yes, your Highness", he introduced himself. Taehyung took Jungkook to his resting place. Mina followed them silently.

"Mina", he called her. She immediately paid full attention to him. "How are you?" he asked. "I am good, your Highness", she blushed a little. Jungkook's jaw dropped. "She is not normal. Just a moment ago she was cursing him", he thought.

"Thank you for bringing him here", he said. It looked like a cue for her to leave. As if she was not welcomed further. "It's my duty, your Highness", she bowed. "Then, I will take my leave", she said and turned around. "Where are you going? Who will take him back? You can stay with us", he said.

She didn't expect this. This is the very first time he is asking to do so. It's not necessary. Anyone can take Jungkook back. She excitedly nodded. Jungkook noticed his smile. It was surely addictive. He understood why everyone was going crazy for him.

Finally, they settled. Jungkook explained everything to Taehyung on the way to his camp. "Thank you, Jungkook. Thank you for staying by my siblings' side, ''he said. "Your Highness, your sister wants you to visit them at least once.

Please do visit them", he said. Taehyung smiled. "I know that very well. Once I go, she will trap me inside the palace", he said. Jungkook didn't like that comment very much. For some reason, he wanted to explain your point.

He wanted to defend you badly to the person who was born along with you. "She wants you to be there to assure people that everything is fine. Also, the King'', he gulped a little. "What about father?" Taehyung worried. "He is sick. I mean a lot. I think your parents want you to visit him", he said.

Taehyung loved his parents. "I know I should be a good son. But, I didn't accomplish anything here. I want to make sure that this Island completely belongs to our King'', he said. "King is proud of you. He even asked your sister to let you come back after knowing the world and visiting the places.

He never wanted you to tie you down there", he said. "Why y/n is desperate then?" Taehyung chuckled. "She worries about her friend more than me", he said. Mina's ears perked up. "Not to deny, Princess Yuri asks about you at least once every day", Jungkook said.

He was just doing his job. Taehyung's eyes travelled towards Mina. She looked away. "When Jimin is coming?" he asked Mina. "In a day or two he will be here, your Highness", she said.

Jungkook and Taehyung talked a lot and got to know each other. Taehyung acknowledged Jungkook because you don't give your royal symbol ring just to anyone. Also, he was impressed with him. "Once Jimin comes, I will decide about my return", Taehyung said.

Jungkook smiled a bit. He was internally proud of himself. "Princess will be happy", he thought and smiled. "You can take a rest. Let's wait till Jimin comes' ', Taehyung said. "Let's talk tomorrow", he said. Jungkook greeted him and went to his allotted tent. Mina and Taehyung were looking at each other with a comfortable silence.

"Were you mad at me?" he broke the silence. She shook her head as no. "Don't lie. I know I broke the promise", he said. "I can understand, your Highness", she politely said. "Did you meet my sister, just in case?" he asked.

"Yes. She visited before we came here", she said. Taehyung sighed. "Did she threaten you?" he asked. She looked up. "No. She said that she trusts me with you both", she replied. "Will you wait for me?" he asked. "For what, your Highness?" her heartbeats peaked.

"For my return. I think I will visit my home soon", he said. "If that's your order, then I will", he said. "It's not an order. It's about your heart. I know you like me", he said. She wanted to run away. It was too much for her. She gulped a bit. "Everyone loves you. You are the Prince of our heart, people's heart", she said.

"I wish to spend more time with you", he said. "I wish I never met you", she thought in her mind. For some reason, she didn't answer his question. She felt like she would get hurt at some point in time. Instead, she smiled. "I have someone who works in the town. I will visit you later", she moved away from there.

Taehyung just looked at her. He liked her because she was different from others. He knew her very well. Before she knew that he was a Prince, he had seen her true self. He wondered why she kept running away. On the way back to the palace.

You were trying to calm yourself down. "How dare they pull such an act? If I get Jimin in my hands I will tear him to pieces", you said to Namjoon. "What did he do?" he asked. "He is the reason why Taehyung never came back.

Both of them kept playing. Now look at this mess", you said. "Thinking about the order. It's not our father. It's them", he said. "They should have known about his arrival. To make him look worse and jealous of his brother, they are doing this", your grandfather said.

He was right. The public welcome was not as cheerful as before. He was becoming the evil prince. People tend to believe Taehyung more than Namjoon. Taehyung was kind and sweet compared to Namjoon. He always had a strong aura while Taehyung was easily approachable.

They didn't like their favourite prince getting arrested. You sent a letter to Jimin. You literally threatened him. You asked Jimin to bring them safely without getting caught. Once the news reached Jimin he dropped everything and attempted to reach Taehyung before the soldiers.

The news reached Taehyung and Jimin reaching him was perfect. Everyone was shocked to hear the news. No one wanted their Prince to go as a prisoner. "I don't think that the King will ever impose such an ln order", Jungkook said.

"If it's the King's order, then I should comply '', Taehyung said. "What if they hurt you?" Mina asked. "They won't hurt me. They can't", he assured. "Taehyung ah", Jimin came finally. "You both should vacate the place immediately.

You should reach the capital without getting caught", he said. "Calm down, Jimin ah. Don't worry about me. I will face this'', he said. "You never worry about anything. I am worried about myself. Your sister is waiting to see me get torn apart", he said.

Taehyung laughed. "Besides, Jungkook's life is at stake", he said. "They imposed an order to kill him if he defends you. Practically, they will kill him if he defends you or not '', he said. Taehyung somewhat understood the situation.

"Mina, you should take them both. Don't go to any port. Try to reach the eastern seashore where monks are living", he said. She nodded. "Jimin Hyung, I will protect our Prince at all costs. That's what I have promised.

Rather than running away, let me face it", he said. "Why are you all so desperate? As much as it gets delayed, hate towards Namjoon will increase. If something happens to you, y/n will burn me alive '', he showed the message. Jungkook celebrated within himself even in that situation.
