Hidden Virtue

The past may be set in stone, but the future remains shrouded in uncertainty. The concept of truth itself is often elusive, never quite as clear or straightforward as one might hope. This ambiguity was the enigma that defined their world - a world where reality seemed to shift like the sand beneath their feet. Taehyung felt this truth deep in his soul, a feeling that haunted him in his nightmares. It was as if his brother's presence lingered nearby, a presence he could almost grasp, but never quite hold.

Led by two guards, he noticed the rest of the guards taunting him. Suddenly, he was thrown violently to the ground inside the head's tent. The enchantment held him in place, rendering him immobile as he desperately searched the area for his brother.

"Look at you"

"Little brother, desperation does not look good on you," Minho said as he approached Taehyung.

Taehyung was filled with confusion as he wondered why his own brother would ally himself with the Soul Keepers of the Ruby Kingdom. "Minho, why are you with them?" he asked, unable to comprehend his brother's moves and counter moves at him.

Minho's smile remained as he pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Taehyung, locking eyes with him.

After being betrayed and abandoned by you, my people saw it as a chance to break free. They believed I couldn't live up to my father's authority and left me to carry the weight of his legacy alone," Minho said bitterly, his eyes filled with a deep-seated animosity towards Taehyung.

"Minho?"

"You...you still plan to keep on going with father's lore?"

"Open your eyes......there's no lore anymore!!"

"You have-..." Taehyung was cutt off by Minho.

"NO!!"

"THE LORE IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE!"

"I WILL MAKE SURE OF IT!!" Minho shouted loudly with angry eyes.

"From now on... I will reap what I have been sowing all these years!"

"And soon, brother, you will be the first to suffer the consequences!"

"No!"

"Let me correct myself!"

"Your family will be the ones that I will personally kill with my own hands!" He said. Taehyung's body stiffened when he heard Minho threaten his family.

"MINHOOO!!" Taehyung's voice echoed loudly, but Minho scoffed defiantly in response.

"I will make you watch as I kill each and every one of your children, starting with the one in your wife's womb!" Minho's smile was chilling as he spoke. Taehyung's chest tightened, a heavy weight settling upon him at his brother's cruel threat.

"No!"

"MINHO......FUCKKK!"

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY FAMILY...!!" Taehyung's rage-filled scream reverberated through the room, accompanied by heavy breaths. Minho clenched his teeth in response, his anger palpable as he stood up abruptly. He walked away, stopping by the planning table, his expression dark and brooding.

"I have manipulated this kingdom to my advantage for years. And soon, I will have the one thing I have always desired..." Minho spoke without glancing back at Taehyung, his tone cold and filled with determination.

"An acyn child?... but... how?" Taehyung's voice was filled with disbelief as he processed Minho's words. Slowly, Minho turned to face him.

"Enjoy the night sky, brother!" Minho's smile sent a shiver down Taehyung's spine as he spoke, before walking out of the tent. Taehyung was left feeling deeply unsettled, wondering about the ominous meaning behind his brother's words.
