" So the elemental who will train to control this sword and defeat Revon with it is Jungkook."

I looked at the Guardian with wide eyes.

" M-Me?" I asked him again because I thought I misheard him.

" Yes, you, Jeon Jungkook. I want you to train hard and control the powers of the sword and defeat Revon." The Guardian repeated.

I started panicking.

" P-Please not me! I can't do it! What if I make mistakes!? What if I break your trust!? What if I can't do it!? What if-"

" Stop with the 'What ifs'. We all believe in you and the Guardian took the right decision. You are the best person for this task. Trust in yourself as we do." Namjoon Hyung cut me.

" But-"

" No buts- Kook. Remember in college? You used to do all sorts of such things because you were braver and stronger than all of us." BamBam said.

" That's different and this is different. Do you think that I can go against Revon and defeat him?" I asked them again. They looked at me like all of their faith was in me.

I sighed and try to calm myself down. If Tae was here, he would have calmed me down so easily.

Thinking about Tae made something ignite in me. He went through so much but didn't lose upon his willpower and fought with that deadly poison. He saved us from breaking apart when we were having arguments. He has contributed so much to us, now it's my chance.

" Ok. I'll do it."

I'll do it for my baby.

The practice started as soon as I said those words. And let me be honest, this is so fucking exhausting. My mind was already clouded by Taehyung's thoughts and I made mistakes again and again which made the Guardian angry.

" What are you doing Jeon Jungkook!? Come on! Try again!"

Two hours surely had passed till now. The Guardian told me that I need to increase my stealth, stamina, power, and tactics when I fight. Not only that, but I also have to train with my Imperial Creature, which means, I'll practice more than double the time the others practice.

An hour or so passed and the Guardian finally freed me from him. I walked to my room tiredly and took a bath first.

" Prince Jungkook?" I heard some maid from outside my door.

" Yes?" I asked back to which I got a reply.

" The Guardian has told everyone to gather in the dining room to eat breakfast and talk about some things. Please join them as soon as you can."

" Yes, I will," I said and continued to enjoy my bath.

I wore my outfit after I took the refreshing bath and walked towards the dining room, sitting between Yoongi Hyung and Namjoon Hyung.

We ate in silence, but it wasn't awkward at all. It was rather peaceful because all had been quite busy today.

After having our dinner, the Guardian told us about the progress all of the kingdoms are making in their training.

" Do you remember the time we visited each of the kingdoms?" He asked us and we all nodded.

" I told them all about this huge war which was going to happen and it is quite obvious that we cannot defeat Revon with a small army. We need each person to work harder. So we decided that normal people will help us too. Young boys and girls and elder men can help us. Elder women, pregnant women, small children, old people will be kept somewhere safe till this war ends." The Guardian explained.

" But I have a doubt." Jimin looked at the Guardian.

" Speak up." The Guardian said.

" Where is the war most likely to take place? I mean, where will Revon attack?" Jimin asked.

" I accepted the last place to be Aquarius not because you had that festival of yours but because Revon is likely to attack here." The Guardian explained.

" But why?" Namjoon Hyung asked.

" The Lord of Darkness and his army can't survive cold weather. Iclyn and Aeros are on the upper part so those two kingdoms are just a no for him. Now remains the other three kingdoms. Ignacia was also most likely to get attacked, but in these past many years, the geographical extent of it has changed a bit and went higher. Aquarius is a perfect destination for him to attack because of its geographical extent. Plus Ignacia has two kingdoms near it for help. Aquarius doesn't. So he is likely to attack here." The Guardian explained.

" Oh So-"

" Forgive me to interrupt but Young Prince has woken up." A guard said making all of us get up from our seats.

We started speed walking towards Tae's room. I was holding my breath because my baby is finally up.

I've spent so many days without him by my side, without giving him my life, without telling him how much I love him, without kissing him at least 10 times a day.

We opened the door to see a very pale Taehyung smiling at us a little.

All of the royals stared at him for a few minutes.

" H-hello?" He said and I broke into tears and ran towards him and hugged him.

" My baby! A-Are you okay n-now? I-Is it hurting? D-Do you need anything? Should I-I call a doctor to check y-you? Why aren't y-" I was cut by his weak giggles.

" I am f-fine Koo.....H-Hurts a little i-inside my body.....I p-probably would b-be fine after t-two to three d-days." He said to me while smiling.

I leaned on to kiss him but was pulled very rudely by someone.

I turned around to see Yugyeom. I glared at him but he ignored me.

" TaeTae are you okay? Do you know how much scared you made all of us!? I-" Yugyeom couldn't continue, he hugged Taehyung tightly.

" I-I am fine now Yuggie h-Hyung." Taehyung smiled at him.

" I missed you calling me that, my baby." He said and kissed his forehead. I pouted because only I can call him baby.

And like this, all of the Royals pushed ME behind to talk to Tae talking me away from MY baby.

" Enough of the talks! My baby needs some rest so you all can go back to your rooms." I said with a huff.

They all sighed for no reason and bid their goodbyes to us.

I went and sat beside my baby.

" Do you know how much of heart attack you gave me?" I asked him and he giggled.

" Hehe sorry, Koo...." He said.

I leaned forward and gently kissed his lips. No tongue involved. We joined our foreheads.

" I love you," I said and he said it back.

" N-Now tell me what h-happened when I was gone."

I told him everything from the beginning to the end.

" I still can't believe the Guardian chose me to do that task. I-I am so afraid Tae. I don't wanna mess up." I said.

" Look at me, Koo...." He told me. I looked into his eyes which held so much love and trust giving me confidence.

" I trust you just like t-the others. I know you can do this Koo. And don't worry about that extra practice. I will give you extra kisses and cuddles for those extra practices." He said cutely making me chuckle.

" Then I will practice hard to get those kisses and cuddles."

He giggled. I made my way to the other side of the bed sleeping beside him and we both cuddled together, sleeping peacefully in each other's arms.
