Words: 2810 ****** The Prince Assasin ****** by TheBlackDragoon23 Summary Jungkook looked around the glorious Palace. It was all just too much to take in. Was the king really being generous to him and taking him in like this? Jungkook knew the king ever since he was a little boy. His father was the king's personal assasin , who was kept in secret so that he could carry out personal killings for the king. His mother had died when he was 8 years old and now that his father had passed, the king decided to take him in. Jungkook has the training of his father and is, under the order of the king, secretly practicing his combat skills along with his mentor, Hoseok, outside of the kingdom. He would be the king's new secret soldier, and in return he would be known as the king's long lost son. He would be a prince. The secrecy wasn't a problem, as well as the killings he would have to commit for the King. The only problem was the king's son, Jimin.The true prince who disliked Jungkook with a passion when his father named Jungkook as the king's son. Jungkook suspected that it had something to do with the crown, or maybe Jimin was suspicious of Jungkook from the start. Jungkook has to be careful what he does and says around Jimin in order to not be found out . Getting along with him won't be easy. Notes So, This is my first time sharing any of my written work. I hope you guys like what I wrote. ***** The Begining Of A Wonderful Nightmare ***** Chapter Notes See the end of the chapter for notes One year ago...   The palace was way bigger than Jungkook had imagined. He slowly strolled the halls, admiring the artistry that decorated the walls. There were beautiful murals, plants and statues everywhere he looked. The food was amazing too. His first meal at the palace consisted of every fine food he could think of. He ended up eating until he could no longer stomach anything else. He stopped at his bedroom door, and as he was about to enter, something small smacked him in the back of his head. He turned around to see Jimin standing at least ten feet from him with a slingshot in his hand. He hadn't spoken to Jungkook during dinner. He didn't even spare him a glance then. Now, he was staring at Jungkook intensely. "Oops" He said, not an ounce of remorse in his voice as he walked toward the black haired boy. Jungkook didn't know what to expect as the silver haired prince neared him. He already knew Jimin disliked him, but to what extent was he willing to express his distaste for him? Jungkook would rather not think of killing the prince if he had to. Jungkook decided to shake the thought out of his mind and watched Jimin intently as the boy gracefully yet casually strolled toward him until they were face to face. "I'm guessing your hand just slipped" said Jungkook sarcastically, hand still rubbing the hurt spot on the back of his head. Jimin forced a smile before bending down to pick up whatever it was he used to hit Jungkook with. He held it up and Jungkook noticed that it was a ball of chocolate wrapped in golden foil. Jimin didn't answer him. His eyes were focused on the wrapper as he carefully peeled it off, exposing the chocolate before looking back at Jungkook. "You should be more careful. What if it was an arrow being shot at the back of your head, and not a piece of chocolate?" Jimin's expression turned cold and Jungkook was lost for words. Taking slight pleasure in the shock on Jungkook's face, Jimin spoke again." I don't know how you managed to weasel your way into my family, but I warn that it is best you take care of yourself. Many things happen inside the palace walls." Jungkook stood there and watched Jimin as he then popped the piece of chocolate in his mouth and stuck the golden foil in Jungkook's suit pocket on his chest, patting the pocket twice before walking off. Jungkook could not believe what just took place. Did the prince just threaten his life? He ended up standing in the hall outside of his bedroom for what felt like hours before taking out the foil from his pocket. The word 'fraud' neatly scribbled on the inside of the wrapper. That night, Jungkook slept uneasy. There were two things he knew about Jimin so far. One, he knew that Jimin didn't just dislike Jungkook, he hated him. The second thing he knew was that the prince was suspicious of him and that he was bent on exposing him. Jungkook decided then that he would make it his mission to make his role as 'prince' more convincing and that, not today, not tomorrow, but someday he would get on Jimin's good side. He was hopeful that someday Jimin would be not only able to accept him as the second prince, but as a brother as well. Chapter End Notes Yeah, so this was pretty short. I edited this quite a few times until I was satisfied lol. I hope you guys enjoyed this. I am making it my mission to write more often, so expect another chapter soon. ***** The Unwanted Discussion ***** Chapter Summary Jungkook and the king have a conversation. A conversation that Jungkook did not want to have...at all. Chapter Notes Oh boy its been a while. See the end of the chapter for more notes Present...       "My Prince"  Jungkook snapped his head up from the book he was reading to look at the maid as she entered the library. "Yes?" he asked, curious as to what needed his attention. "The king wishes to see you my prince." Jungkook slowly closed his book before setting it back on the shelf. "Thank you, please tell the king that I am on my way." The servant girl bowed before leaving the room. Jungkook quickly made his way to the king's room, the guards bowing to him before he entered. The king was looking out of the window when he walked in. He turned around to face Jungkook before walking past him to send the guards away from his door. When the king closed the bedroom doors, he then walked back over to the window.  "My king" said Jungkook, kneeling down with his arm over his chest. The king laughed a bit before facing Jungkook once more. "You understand that you don't have to do that with me right? Will you ever call me 'father' boy?" When Jungkook didn't answer, the king simply nodded. "I understand. You loved your father. I will not try to replace him, but it would be best if you were to at address me as your father in the public eye. It would also help if you weren't so tense around me either. People notice."  Jungkook stayed silent, keeping his gaze to the floor. The king walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "We've been through this before Jungkook. As long as you are living in my home you are my son, and you do not need to give me the greetings of a servant. You have done well so far adapting to the royal lifestyle. However, there are some residents within the palace who still do not take well to you and question your title as prince." He gestures for Jungkook to stand and he does so. "You must work harder to convince them that you are indeed son of the king." It was then that Jungkook looked at the king to see that his expression had saddened. "However, I know there are some who may still not be swayed no matter how convincing you are." Immediately Jungkook thought of the queen, who always seemed to have a bitter attitude toward him. And then there was Jimin who, Jungkook believed, wanted him dead. There were also a few royals in the council who were not very happy with Jungkook's sudden appearance a year ago when he was named the second son to the King. The King let out a sigh before walking over to sit on the edge of his bed.  "My wife.." He begins. "There is no doubt that she does not see you as a prince and may very well have hatred toward you.' Jungkook knew this. The queen barely spoke to him and would give him angry looks every now and then. The King continued to speak. "And Jimin...he takes after his mother in a lot of ways." He sure does Jungkook thought. Both Jimin and the queen dealt with things in a very passive and indirect ways. A lot of times Jimin would find ways to shame Jungkook in front of his peers in the palace either by spreading certain rumors or by "accidentally" bumping into him a lot while walking about the palace. The queen took delight in her son bullying Jungkook because she would always give a small smile whenever Jimin saw fit to make Jungkook's life in the palace a little more challenging each day. It was the kind of smile no regular person would have been able to notice. Jungkook on the other hand was trained to pick up on such things as subtle as that. It was the 101 on knowing your friend from foe.  "I'm sure they did not help to make your role as a prince any easier" The king said. "And although I have made sure they never harmed you when I'm around, I'm sure they have tried to find ways to harm you behind my back." Jungkook was never the type to feel emotional but somehow he began to feel sadness build up inside of him. "It is my greatest fear that both my wife and son may turn against me for the throne, and they see you as a threat against doing so."  "What are you asking of me?" Jungkook was trying to fight back the tears that wanted to come. He wasn't prepared to hear what his benevolent king was about to say. Ever since his father died, Jungkook looked at the king as a father figure, even though he had a hard time admitting it. The king simply smiled at him, eyes filled with sadness. "I'm saying that one day I may die, and not by the hand of my enemies, but by my own blood. I have tried my best to be a good father to Jimin, and a good husband to my wife, but It seems as though it isn't good enough." Tears began to roll down Jungkook's eyes. "I think that my wife and son have been poisoned by hatred for your being named prince, and toward me for protecting you. I'll admit that I may have also been hard on Jimin at times when he was young. He is very distant with me now and so is his mother." Jungkook was trying to process everything the king was saying, but he could not help but to feel sad.  He's literally telling me that he's going to die he thought, trying to uselessly fight back anymore tears.  "My...King" Was all he managed to say between sobs. The king put his hand firm on Jungkook's shoulder as he looked into the boy's eyes. Jungkook looked back into the blue orbs begging for his full attention. "Jungkook" The king began to speak. "I called you here to ask you for a very important favor." He could already feel what the king was asking him to do and it was something Jungkook didn't think he could fall through with. "My wife and my son... Though they may have lost love for me, my love for them will never cease. So when the time comes, and they see fit to be rid of me..."  No! No! No!  Jungkook wished he couldn't hear the next words that came out of the kings mouth.   "Please, do not kill them. " Chapter End Notes Okay, so its been months ya'll.

Much love (^v^). ***** Chapter 3: Dead In The Night ***** Chapter Summary Jungkook finds it hard to controls his anger, so he takes a walk. Chapter Notes It seems as though I have left you all hungry for a little while. I apologize and have provided this delectable meal in order to make up for it. Please enjoy and have your fill. See the end of the chapter for more notes A few days had passed and Jungkook still couldn't process what he and the king had discussed before. It was hard for him to look at the king, much less be around him without thinking about the possibility of him being murdered...by his own family. It was hard for him to keep calm. It was even harder to do so when he was around the queen, or Jimin. He hated having to pretend that he wasn't aware of their intentions. Jungkook would rather have Jimin continue to try and assassinate him for the rest of his life then to kill his own father. Jungkook loved the king. Even though he could never replace his actual father, The king was the closest thing to family besides Hoseok, who was like an older brother to him. He felt suffocated whenever he'd stay in the palace too long. He needed to get away to clear his head, so that's what he decided to do. As soon as the sun went down Jungkook made his way down one of the halls. As he was nearing the end of the hall, he saw Jimin come around the corner to walk in the opposite direction.They both looked at each other and it felt like time had stopped, just like any other time Jungkook encountered Jimin, but this time Jungkook didn't tuck his feelings away.He let all of his anger speak through his eyes when they were about to cross paths. Jimin gave him his usual high and mighty stare but then suddenly seemed surprised by Jungkook's expression. It wasn't like all of the other times when he'd seemed to be annoyed by Jimin's attempts to belittle him. This time was different. This time his eyes were far too serious for Jimin's comfort. He looked like a bringer of death, ready to take his life at any moment. When they finally walked past each other, Jimin stopped to turn around and look at the young reaper, who seemed to be walking a bit faster than usual as he continued down the hall. Jungkook was boiling with anger. He clenched his fists as he grabbed a cloak and hastily made his way out of the palace entrance and through the garden. A few guards looked at him with concern. If they knew what was good for them, they wouldn't try to stop him from leaving, and they didn't. Once he reached the town he was speed walking past the many of the common folk, thoughts of taking the prince's life well on his mind. He then remembered the words of the king. "My wife and my son...I want you to not kill them." He kept hearing those words in his head until he was well away from the kingdom. "How can I not?" He asked himself out loud as he made his way down a hill. After some more walking, he found himself sitting by a large pond surrounded by trees. He laid on the grass by the pond, closing his eyes as he tried to think his negative thoughts away until he heard the sounds of people walking in the near distance. His eyes snapped open and he got up fast, his body reacting before his brain could fully process anything. He quickly moved behind a large bolder that was a bit farther from the pond. It was unusual for anyone with good intention to find themselves outside the kingdom at night, He himself shouldn't even be outside of the kingdom at such a late hour. He told himself that he was ready to kill if he had to. Still hiding behind the giant rock, he saw two hooded figures walking toward each other to meet by the pond. Thankfully, The bolder Jungkook was hiding behind was close enough to see them and hear their conversation. "It will be tomorrow night." Jungkook realized that the hooded person that spoke was a woman. He continued to listen. "I have given you all the information you needed before on the infiltration. Are you sure that you can accomplish the task?" The other hooded figure laughed. It was a sound that was very low and sent light chills up Jungkook's spine. He voice sounded rather intense when he spoke. "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? If the info you gave me before is right then we have nothing to worry about. I feel rather disrespected by your sudden lack of trust in me, considering how much you're willing to pay for my services." Jungkook was hoping that the man would remove his hood so he could see the face behind the rather deadly voice, but he kept on speaking instead. "You know what I can do, and you know that I'm damn good at it." There was a silence between the two of them before the woman spoke again, her voice was a bit shaky now. Jungkook believed the woman may have been a bit scared of whoever she was speaking with. He couldn't blame her. "I know full well that you are capable of carrying out what you are hired for. I'd expect nothing less from a Black Raven." Jungkook froze. It's been so long since he's heard that name. When he was a boy he'd hear his father and the king talk about them. They were mercenary assassins who killed for money. They were very ruthless with their killings. He used to hear rumors of how the those of the Black Raven were like beasts of the night who bathed in the blood of their victims. They didn't kill bad people like noble assassins would. The Black Raven would kill men, women and children, not caring if they were innocent or not. They didn't care about rank nor did they fear death. They didn't have a conscience. In Jungkook's opinion, The Black Raven were cold blooded murderers. "He is rather perceptive and very sharp. I've noticed these things. He makes me rather uneasy." Jungkook still couldn't believe a murder was being planned right before his eyes. "You will stay in a room of your choosing within the Lanken area of town. Take the routes I have instructed and you should have no problem moving around and getting inside undetected. Everything else after that is in the information I gave you before." Jungkook was wondering who this person was trying to kill so desperately that she would hire a Black Raven to do so. The cloaked woman then handed the hooded man a rather large bag filled with coin. She then removed her hood and the color drained from Jungkook's face. The hooded man weighed the bag in his hands before speaking . "Well, it seems like everything is in proper order then." both of them shook hands, a union of death under the moonlight.   It's nice doing business with you your highness." Chapter End Notes So was it really a surprise that it was the queen? Who could she possibly want to have killed? lol Its been a while, again (but at least it wasn't six months). The semester is finally over for me and I can now focus more on the things I hold dear, one of them being writing. Once again, I thank you guys for enjoying this story so far. I intend to keep serving you the goods, and even some top notch meals as we progress through this story together. Fortunately for all of us, I actually have the next chapter pretty much mapped out so it shouldn't be long before I post another chapter. To be honest, I was going to add events of the next chapter with this one, but I like cliffhangers so... Please drop_by_the_archive_and_comment to let the author know if you enjoyed their work!
