Few months later
Everything seems to be going well in Amaranthine Kingdom. After the marriage of Jungkook and Taehyung, the kingdom has flourished abundantly. Peace reigned, well until now.
Taehyung was sitting in his office when one of the demons working in the palace run in breathing heavily as if he had run.
"Your Majesty" the demon breathed out
"What is it that made you barge into my office like that?" Taehyung asked his voice stern showing how displeased he is whilst standing up.
"Sorry, Your majesty but you have to see this" The demon said and spread his palm. Taehyung looked into his palm and found the ring he used to propose Jungkook
"Yeah, what about it?" Taehyung asked nonchalantly.
"Your majesty, I found this after I heard his majesty, King Jeon Jungkook and his ministers planning to rebel against you" the demon said frantically. Taehyung looked at him in disbelief and started laughing.
"You do know what you are saying right. You are trying to accuse my husband of treason?" Taehyung asked his voice deepening.
The demon opened his mouth to say something but was soon held up the wall hands cutting off his air supply. The demon started suffocating but Taehyung didn't care he was angry that his baby highness was accused of something this despicable.
The demon struggled till he pulled out a scroll from under his garment and showed it to Taehyung. Tae let the demon fall and took the scroll. He opened the scroll and his heart clenched tightly.
It was a letter to the angel ministers from Jungkook, he wouldn't have believed it, if not for Jungkook's seal that was proudly stamped at the end of the paper.
He stumbled back and cried out, the scroll falling from his hands. He waved his hands and waved his hand to dismiss the demon not missing the smirk of the demon after seeing his reaction.
After the demon left, Taehyung looked at the door and wiped the few tears that dropped from his eyes and smirked. But soon his face morphed into his usual poker face realising that his baby highness could be in possible danger because of all this. He quickly sent for the others except Jungkook.
Minor timeskip
Now all of them were sitting in Tae's office waiting patiently for him to brief them on the purpose of the meeting
"What is it?" Yoongi asked and Taehyung silently handed the letter to them.
"What nonsense is this?" Yoongi asked loudly after reading the letter that elaborate all the plans of Jungkook to rebel. The others read the letter one by one, their reaction almost the same.
"Don't tell me you are believing this." Jimin asked looking at his brother desperately
"Do I look like a fool to you? As soon as I saw the demon I sensed something wrong. Well, I must give them them the credit for imitating Jungkook's handwriting and putting that fake seal there." Taehyung said and chuckled darkly at the end.
"So what are we going to do?" Jin asked
"We would give them the reaction they want and slowly gather evidence till we ambush them." Taehyung replied crossing his arms over his chest.
"And we will do all this without Jungkook's knowledge?" Jimin asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, we need the reaction to be more real." Taehyung replied with a sigh
"But he will get hurt." Jimin exclaimed worried about his friend's or should I say his best friends feelings.
"That's the whole point. The more unnatural the reaction is, the more they will suspect us. I am pretty sure that they are watching our every move so we have to be careful." Taehyung replied.
"Listen if Jungkook gets hurt through this, trust me Tae you wouldn't like me at all." Yoongi warned overprotective over their youngest.
"I know, even I don't want to do this." Taehyung said rubbing his forehead in frustration.
"Okay, what do you want us to do?" Jin asked.
"First, make sure this doesn't leak out from the palace or else with additional uproar from the public it will be difficult for us to hold off the punishment as all evidence points towards him. So don't tell anyone, not even your most trusted friends outside our friend circle." Taehyung started making everyone nod in understanding.
"Also, we have to follow that demon without him knowing. Jimin, finally your powers will be put to use. Make sure you are completely invisible to him. Make sure to report everything you see him do" Taehyung said to Jimin making him nod.
"Yoongi Hyung and Hoseok Hyung, please tighten the security around the palace to restrict who comes in and out so that more evidence against Jungkook will not be planted." Taehyung said making both of them nod.
"Namjoon Hyung and Dae can you make a list of people that could be involved in this scheme?" Taehyung asked.
"Yeah" they both replied
"What about me?" Jin asked.
"Please take care of my baby for me." Taehyung said and held Jin's hands practically begging him.
"Don't worry he is my baby too" Jin replied making Taehyung sigh in relief
"For me, I will make sure they think I am devastated and angry about the news while investigating secretly" Tae said
"Please do your best, guys. I trust that we can clear Jungkook's name." Taehyung please once again.
"We will Tae" All of them replied.
"Okay then the plan starts now" Taehyung said with a sinister smirk. They all nodded and dispersed to do their various tasks
Taehyung sighed after they all left and made his way towards their room.
Whilst on the way he met Jungkook but instead of his usual whipped smile he had an unreadable facial expression.
"Hyungie" Jungkook called excitedly and went to hug him but Taehyung moved away making Jungkook pout.
"What's wrong hubby?" Jungkook asked his face becoming serious seeing Taehyung's facial expression.
"Is it a problem in the kingdom? Tell me I can he-" Jungkook started but was cut off by Taehyung.
"You" Taehyung replied making Jungkook confused
"What do you mean by that?" Jungkook asked.
"You are my problem. I trusted you Jungkook" Taehyung yelled making Jungkook flinch
"What did I do? I am sorry if I did something wrong" Jungkook apologised not liking his husband's tone.
"Where is the ring I gifted you?" Taehyung asked
"I lost it a few days ago" Jungkook replied
"Of course you lost it when you went to plan the rebellion" Taehyung spat mockingly
"What?" Jungkook said not understanding a thing Taehyung is saying.
Taehyung handed over the letter to him. Jungkook took it and opened it to read. After reading he looked up at Taehyung in disbelief.
"I wasn't the one who wrote this" Jungkook said with a blank face.
"Stop lying, Jungkook" Taehyung said and chuckled darkly.
"Do you really believe this?" Jungkook asked his heart clenching in pain at the thought of his Hyungie not trusting him.
"What else do you want me to do? Go to your room and wait for you punishment" Taehyung said and turned and walked away from there leaving Jungkook heartbroken
A tear slipped from Jungkook's eyes and he slowly dragged himself back to his room. Both lovers behind closed doors cried for each other. One for hurting his love and the other because his lover didn't trust him.
Duringg this whole banter, the demon who reported this to Tae smirked in satisfaction seeing the two lovers quarrel.
He rushed from there to go meet his master not knowing somebody was following him. That somebody being Jimin.
Upon reaching his masters hide out he looked around and went inside. Jimin had lost him on the way so was unable to reach the hide out.
"The plan is working master" the demon said
"Good work" The master replied.
