A ROYAL MEETING BETWEEN THE 5 DYNASTIES. YEAR 1000

Jungkook and Taehyung stood at opposite ends of the grand room, surrounded by their families and other members of the top five dynasties.

They had never met before, but they had heard of each other. Jungkook was the heir to the royal Jeon dynasty, while Taehyung was a member of the royal Kim dynasty. They were both on guard, knowing that their families were sworn enemies.

The meeting had been called to discuss the recent attacks on the border between the Jeon and Kim dynasties.

"I do not know what has gotten into the thick skulls of the Jeons, but they have no right!" The queen of the Kim Dynasty yelled out in anger.

"You've sent spies over to our territories and thought you'd get away with it! You think we're dumb to think that you Kim's wouldn't try to overthrow our power?" Queen Jeon, Jungkook's mother yelled back at Tae's Aunt.

"I think you're just paranoid because you can't even control your pets." Taehyung's uncle, the King, simply stated. He was talking about the growing hostility against the Mins, who were the Jeon's right hand dynasty.

"Enough!" King Park yelled. "This is outrageous, you two need to get it together before the whole continent of our nation falls apart due to your petty rivalry!"

"They killed my sister!" Queen Kim screamed loudly in defense and her husband wrapped an arm around her waist comfortingly.

The whole room fell silent.

"We did no such thing." Queen Jeon said while her King didn't say a word yet.

Taehyung scoffed at the mention of his mother's death. His father stood there beside him quietly as well. His sister on the other hand, glared at the Jeons.

"She wandered into our territory and someone thought she was a spy and killed her." King Jeon explained.

"Oh really? Then why aren't the other "spies" that you've put on trial dead right now either? They've been there for days." Queen Kim held her husband's hand tightly.

"Are you admitting to sending spies over?" King Min held a sinister smirk.

The realization hit Taehyung like a truck once he saw that. He stood up quickly.

"Taehyung sit down." His father mumbled.

"No." He said and rushed over. "Hey!" he yelled, all eyes turned to him. "Taehyung!" Park heir, and Taehyung's best friend, Jimin, called in concern but Taehyung held his hand out. "It's okay."

"I am Kim Taehyung of the Kim Dynasty, I am the late princess' son and I'm 4th in line from the throne." He bowed before the royal court.

Jungkook looked at him from his parents side and couldn't even take his eyes off of him after that.

Taehyung raised back up and spoke. "May I speak?" He asked his Aunt and Uncle.

"Of course, Tae." The queen said softly with a warm smile.

Taehyung nodded in thanks and looked directly at the Min Dynasty. "You just admitted to killing my mother."

The room erupted into noise.

"Excuse you?" The Queen of the Min Dynasty roared out and sat up. Her son, Yoongi, stood there as well, staring blankly at Taehyung.

"He's illiterate, don't listen to him." Yoongi stated simply and rolled his head back a bit.

"That grin..you have no right. If that evidence comes out, you know you're done for. And you can be exiled for killing another member of the royal dynasties." Taehyung continued.

Queen Min glared. "I'd watch who you're accusing, little boy." She said. "Or else what? You'll kill me next? I won't let that happen. I'm going to PROVE IT!" Taehyung said loudly.

"Alright, Order Order. Let's settle this soon, we're going to be here for hours on end. Go home and think all of this through." King Park said and motioned for his son to come on.

Jimin gave a quick thumbs up to his best friends before rushing out of the court.

The royal lines of the Mins spoke to the Jeons a little bit quietly for a moment.

Jungkook and Taehyung couldn't help but steal glances at each other. They were both drawn to the other, despite the fact that they were supposed to absolutely hate each other.

As the meeting came to a close, Jungkook and Taehyung found themselves standing near each other. They both felt a sense of electricity in the air, and they couldn't help but look towards one another.

"Hello, Jungkook," Taehyung said, his voice low and intense.

"Hello, Taehyung," Jungkook replied, just as intense. "It's good to finally meet you." He said sarcastically.

Taehyung nodded, his eyes never leaving Jungkook's. "Likewise. I've heard a lot about you."

Jungkook felt a sense of pride at Taehyung's words. "Have you?"

Taehyung grinned. "Considering your family is trying to blow up mines, I beg to disagree. You're the heir to the Jeon dynasty. You're a force to be reckoned with. A problem in the future to me." Taehyung whispered.

Jungkook felt goosebumps spread through him at Taehyung's words. He had never felt affected this way from anyone before. "And you're the distant heir to the Kim dynasty. You're just as a problem to me as I am to you in the future, no?"

Taehyung's eyes sparkled with amusement and he let out a little smile. "We'll have to wait and see about that." He mentioned and turned around after bowing, parting ways with him.

Jungkook stared at his ass as he walked. "Right..." He mumbled under his breath.
