Yuxan: "Hm.." He turns over in bed while his tail was dangling out of the covers. He was snoring a little.

A short girl with black curly hair and tanned skin, who looked like the servant, slowly opened the door and then went to open the curtains of the room's large balcony. Yuxan stretched and sat down. He greeted the girl.

Yuxan: "Good morning, Lucy..."

Lucy: "Good morning, Prince! Did you sleep well?"

Yuxan: "Yeah.."

Lucy: "The king and queen are waiting for you in the throne room. As soon as you're ready, come down!" She replied and left, smiling.

Yuxan sighs and gets up bored. He goes to his double wardrobe and takes a golden suit with a red tie. He also takes some golden necklaces and bracelets with a golden watch and puts them on. After changing, he goes down the stairs and goes to the throne room. Every now and then he greets the guards and servants who pass by.

King: "Welcome awake, son.."

Yuxan: "Yes, morning." He replied boredly and sat down at the large table. 

The king and queen sighed angrily.

King: "Do you know why we woke you up early?"

Yuxan: "No"

Queen: "You will meet your future wife, dear!" She added, smiling happily. 

Yuxan froze like a stone. A statue. He was in shock. They knew Yuxan was gay, but not to bear it and to have a marriage without Yuxan's permission was too much.

Yuxan: "No-" he was about to say, but the king interrupted him.

King: "No 'no' or 'but'. You will marry and produce an heir. You are the most reliable for the throne, son. Either you marry or we will banish you from the family and the kingdom."

Yuxan: "I'd rather be abandoned than marry a woman I don't even know!" He screams, with anger and hatred. The king clenched his fists.

King: "How dare you-"

Yuxan: "I dare and for sure! Have you ever been trustworthy? Have you ever been a FATHER?! No. Not you, not mom. You are two idiots in my family. You could have aborted and given birth to three more children who perhaps would have listened to you, bastards." He interrupted his father and then went to his room without having eaten breakfast. 

Everyone was in shock except the queen and the king who were furious with their son's behavior. The king sighs.

The queen places a hand on her husband's shoulder and then makes a sad face. 

Queen: "He'll get used to it." She said. The king nodded.

—After two days. Yuxan, Felix and Nørix's birthday (they are triplets)—

Everyone was in the throne room for Yuxan's coronation. The brothers were behind their parents while the parents were holding a crown.

Yuxan sighs and approaches with a slow, stiff step. He stops in front of his parents and bows.

King: "With this coronation... I declare my son, Yuxan Alexander Byung-hun, the new king of this kingdom..." he declared and placed the crown between Yuxan's dragon horns. It fit perfectly. The diamonds on the golden crown turned black. Something was wrong. Yuxan's heart was completely black.
