Lost Crown

Chapter 1: the beheading

Prince Min Yoongi of Korea. He grew up his entire life as a valued figure in the capital. He was known by everyone, rich and poor.

He never asked for this lifestyle, he was born as just a piece of a puzzle for his grandfather.

He was his mother's puppet after she took her fathers influence. Now Yoongi is no longer a human being with feelings and wishes in their eyes, he is just a mere object that they are using.

The prince sat in his throne beside his mother. Her stern face and good posture made her look intimidating at first glance however if you've been around her as long as Yoongi has you'd know that she was just a crumbling exterior of what once was a kind and beautiful person.

"Behold, Kim Jo-Sah, who failed to repay his debts to the royal family," the announcer said as the crowd watched in anticipation.

Yoongi was disgusted by the fact that rich families would voluntarily come and watch someone be punished for their sins.

Yoongi felt the scar on his face throb as he gained a headache from the suffocating silence that he and the watches were engulfed in.

The princes eyes pondered over the crowd of peasants watching in horror as one of their people stood a few minutes away from having his head displayed on the building that Yoongi was currently on the balcony of.

His eyes landed on a tall young boy who looked just slightly younger than Yoongi. He had tears streaming down his cheeks.

The boy was with what appeared to be his mother. They were at the front of the crowd of peasants.

"That must be his father," Yoongi thought, keeping his unbothered face on the outside.

"Before we continue, could her majesty tell us weather this man deserves his fate?" the announcer said as the headsman got his sword ready.

"Please continue," the queen said with no emotion in her voice. She was the shell of a human being. Every emotion in her had been taken away by Yoongi's grandfather.

"But mother, his family," Yoongi whispered to the queen.

"Yoongi," his brother scolded him.

"I'll handle this thank you," Yoongi's mother said glancing to his brother and then back forwards.

"Yoongi don't talk nonsense, you've never cared about a criminals family before and we've been going to beheadings since you were 5." The queen said in her monotoned voice.

Yoongi sighed and focused his attention back to the headsman who angled his sword before striking the mans head, taking it straight off.

The rich viewers cheered as the poor gasped and cried. It was cruel.

Yoongi had to look away from the blood splattered all over the floor as the boy and his mother ran and hugged the headless body of their loved one.

"Here behold the head of Kim Jo-sah, he has been beheaded by order of the queen and royal family, he has now payed for his sins," the announcer said as the headsman held up the head of the peasant man.

The rich clapped and cheered. Even the queen herself put her hands together at the site of the head of an innocent man.

Yoongi couldn't watch anymore, he got out of his throne and walked away.

Yoongi's brother rose from his seat.

"Sit down, I'll send a guard to follow him," the queen said. The prince nodded and sat down.

The queen whispered something to one of her guards before the guard walked in the same direction that Yoongi had fled to.

...

"What do you want," Yoongi spat at the guard stood before him as he sat on the steps at the back of the building.

"By order of the queen you have been ordered to accompany the rest of the royal family at the parade." The guard said with a bow.

"Tell them I'm not going," Yoongi said standing up.

"Your highness, the queen personally asked for you, unfortunately I cannot do that," the guard said.

"I said, tell them that I'm not going, understand?" Yoongi said aggressively.

The guard nodded vigorously at Yoongi's tone.

"Y-yes your highness!" The guard said before running back to the balcony.

Yoongi sighed and started walking back to the palace.

-

The guard returned to the queen full of worry.

"My queen, he refused," the guard stuttered.

She clenched her fist and stood up turning her gaze to the guard.

"It wasn't an option, it was an order," the queen said with anger creeping into her tone.

"You! Go and find my son," she ordered a few guards that were guarding the door to the balcony.

"Yes ma'am!" They said before leaving to go and find their prince.

...

Yoongi sat with his grandmother as they talked.

After running away from the beheading he fled to his grandma. She was the only motherly figure the prince ever had.

His grandma was the complete opposite of her husband.

"So Yoongi you said you ran away, what happened?" She asked as she handed him a glass of water.

"We had to attend another beheading. I saw his family, they were crying and it reminded me of the day I had to watch father get beheaded," Yoongi said with a sigh.

"Your mother doesn't understand dear, it's not her fault," Mrs Min said taking a sip of her own water.

"But she watched father die too! Doesn't it make her upset to watch people suffer the same demise as he did?!" Yoongi said frustrated.

Mrs min sighed and gave Yoongi a sad smile.

"She's been brainwashed Yoongi dear, she can't even remember the existence of your father," Yoongi's grandma said as she took another sip of water.

"Please live forever grandma, or at least till I die, how will I cope when you're  not around?" The young prince mumbled gently.

"I'll try my best my dear,"

-

The parade had started and the prince was no where to be seen.

In fact, when the guards had found Yoongi he'd payed them to lie and say that they couldn't find him.

Yoongi couldn't face his mother, not after she'd witnessed the exact thing that'd happened to Yoongi's father and had nothing to say afterwards.

Yoongi couldn't keep being his mother's puppet. He hated his family, all except his grandmother of course, but the rest were power hungry pigs.

Suddenly it came to Yoongi.

Running away...
