@Choi Minki -clicks tongue at the noise and waits until most of it's died down-
-peers into the cell, eyebrow raised-
When you've finished with your meal... I would like to have an audience with you, in my private quarters.
You may come as you are, or you can follow the guards to get cleaned up in the baths and get a fresh change of clothing.
I'll leave you to eat in peace.

-orders the guards to keep a close eye on you, but not to hurt you unless you're gonna pose a threat to them-
-heads up to my chambers and starts looking over papers and things, news and reports-

@Heechul /growls lowly, watching you silently as the guards shove the criminals into the cell/
/ my lips as the guards leave the cell, leaving behind the criminals/
gladly...

/hisses softly before I lunge towards them, screams and cries for help could be heard through out the dungeon and the surrounding area/

@Choi Minki -watches your reactions carefully, then smiles a little at the yelp-
I know that. But if you bite me, I'll treat you like one, clear?

-nods approvingly when you start giving me information, and gently pats you on the head-
There now.
Wasn't so hard, was it?

-stands up and dusts my clothes off, nodding slowly-
You've done as I've asked, so I believe a reward is in order.

-leaves the cell and watches as the guards lengthen your chains and take the blindfolds off the criminals before shoving them into the cell-
Enjoy your supper.
Let me know if you want anything else when you're done... Minki.

@Heechul /whines softly when I can't smell them anymore, my nose still confused over the scent that lingered at the carriage/

/growls and stays silently, moving away as I want to take a bite of your white and pale skin/

/yelps and hisses softly, narrows my eyes at you as I dangerously speak in a low voice/
I'm not a dog for damn sake...

/looks at your hand, growls under my breath as I hiss like a snake/
I'm Choi Minki, a 17 year old monster from the pits of hell... I escaped due to wit and hunger.... and these wounds are nothing.. I can heal by myself...
/I admit as I continue to growl under my breath, just wanting something to eat already/

@Choi Minki -arches an eyebrow and waves a hand for the guards to take the criminals back behind a wall so you can't smell them anymore-

-smiles tightly at you-
You will tell me your name if you wish to eat, boy.

-narrows one eye and swats you lightly on the nose and forehead-
No. Bad boy.
You do not bite the hand that may ultimately feed you.
And let me tell you something, I can keep you chained down here in a maze full of bones, and you might not ever get out.
Doors will be triple-locked, chains across them, hallway upon hallway of doors to keep you from the outside world and they from you.
I wonder how comfortable that would be without any food.
Now...

-holds out my hand again-
Tell me what you are, where you're from, and why you're here.
And perhaps I'll be merciful and let you have something to eat.
You must be starving.
And you need those wounds looked at.

-fixes my eyes on yours-
You don't scare me, boy.
I've been through the pits of hell and back again.
Try to bite me again, I'll swat you again, and when I get tired of having no answers, I'll just leave you down here for the night and come back tomorrow.

@Heechul /growls under my breath when I'm thrown into the dungeons, scuffs and huffs as I smell the scent of fresh and clean blood/
/ my lips as I look around with bright red eyes/
/growls lowly when I see the criminals, getting onto my feet as I try to run to them, but is held back by chains/
Like I would tell you my name...
/growls louder, looks down at your hand as I narrow my eyes, nearly takes a chunk of your hand/
Why would I say anything to a mere mortal? It's not like you have the power to control me!

@Choi Minki -has the guards bring you down to one of the dungeons when we get back to the Seoul palace, under orders not to hurt you while I go clean up-
-comes back in some informal nobleman wear and orders for a few of the hardened criminals be brought from the prisons and blindfolded before being sent down here-
-watches you carefully-

-smiles after a little bit-
You're not from around here, are you, boy?
I saw what you did when I moved in your direction.
You seemed pretty hungry to me...
Who are you really, and what's your name?

-moves a little closer to you and holds out my hand-
You don't have to be afraid... as long as you don't hurt me or my people.
Where are you from, boy?

@Heechul /huffs and lowly growls under my breath, starting to weaken from hunger/
/plans on snacking on the guards but silently pays attention on you/
/huffs and frowns deeply, hoping that you won't be able to see my fangs starting to form as I hide myself in your cloak, continuing to inhale your lingering scent on your cloak/
/tenses up when I smell a different and disgusting scent, causing me to return to smelling your scent on the cloak/

@Choi Minki -smirks a little when I see your reaction, and summons some of the bigger men to transport you to a little house near the center of the city, not too far away-
-keeps walking ahead of you, so you'd be focused on me more than them-
-sends a message on the way via street child that I need transport to Seoul, fast and cheap-
-the ride arrives right after the men leave, and you're bundled into the carriage, kinda tied up in my cloak-
-spritzes some strong-smellling stuff around the carriage before dousing myself in a "elixir" type liquid that will mask my natural scent-
-pays the driver and sits on the roof of the carriage as we go back to Seoul-

@Heechul /my eyes widen at how gullible they all were, blinks when you suddenly blow a puff of air towards me, resisting on inhaling your scent/
/my eyes widen when you suddenly throw your cloak over my, trying my best not to suddenly start ripping your guts out/
/inhales your delicious smelling scent, still managing to keep up with the act of being hurt/
/stays silent as I pant, biting my lip as I tightly close my eyes, groans from pain/

@Choi Minki -arches eyebrows when I see your eyes, and steps closer-

-notes that your accent isn't really like anything I've ever heard-
...

-blinks in curiosity, then gently blows a puff of air in your direction to see if you'd react-
-"accidentally" gets in the way of the people as they start trying to crowd you-

-scoots into the center and throws my worn cloak over you before looking up at everyone and speaking in a Kwangju accent-
Please step back, ev'one. I'm a healer, perhaps the poor lad would be better off staying with me.
IN any case, you're crowding him much too close.
Give him space and room to breathe, please, or else he may lash out and do something desperate.

-looks down at you-
You're safe now, boy.
You'll be in good hands with Heenim.

@Heechul /winces in pain as I bite my lip, making the people cowering over me as they panic more/
Women: Oh dear! Is she, or he.. I can't tell... alive?!
Man: Quick, take him to a doctor!
/I shake my head as I look up with my irregular auburn red eyes, speaking out in a soft and weak voice/
n-no please.. I-I came from a f-far away c-city at war... please help me...
/says breathlessly as I hiss in pain, before I notice you from the crowds/
Women: Let me take care of him, he needs good rest and stamina before he returns to his city..
Man: With recruits! We can't forget about the recruits!

@Choi Minki -is visiting Kwangju for a little while under a different identity, and hears of some commotion on the outskirts of town, but doesn't really wanna go and check-
-sits in the window and watches in the general direction of the hubbub anyways-
...

-decides that satifaction always brings curious cats back, so why not-
-goes incognito and smudges some dirt on my face so I don't look so out-of-place-
-worms my way to the front of the crowd to see what's going on-

@Heechul /I walk through the forest, blood covering my hands as my tattered tunic rustles through the wind/
/ my lips as I huskily breathe in the cool and clean fresh air before I growl softly under my breath/
/changing my form as I get closer and closer to the nearby village, once I entering the clearing, I take the form of a young 17 year old male with feminine looks/
/pants heavily as I fall onto the ground, easily whimpering from pain as I curl into a ball, causing the attention around the villagers to panic and race forward to help/

@Daehyun-Free Jongup sighed when the lord told him that he was able to do the favor for him. Carrying the lord in his arms, Jongup walked towards the direction of decreased Dominos Yongguk.

~*~

After what seem like an hour, Jongup held back tears as he held the crying child in his arms. Walking to the nearby strem, Jongup washed the child before gently drying him with the lord's blanket he had wrapped around himself before the birth. Wrapping the child with the blanket, he thanked Juno for the successful child birth before getting up with the child and started back to the Kwangju village. Daehyun didn't want come back anyways.

(( this is possibly the last post for Daehyun and Jongup before I apply for more... ))

Daehyun sighed softly as he walked down the pathway with Jongup following behind him, his swollen stomach with Yonghwa inside him had grown fully and the increasing pain had returned. He didn't want to cause any trouble to occur between the Dominos and Domina of Kwangju so he decided to take a 'stroll' through the forest as Jongup silently followed behind him as a simple offer and request for him to do before he decided to take his last breath. Turning around, the young lord looked at the other with a gentle smile. " go ahead and do what I asked you to... "

/hiding in the forest in fear and confusion

@♈Sehun-Kwangju Daehyun eyes widened when he heard the sound of metal unsheathed from it holds, his hands cautiously held onto his hood, slightly trembling from fear, but trembling enough for it not to be notice able.

Daehyun bit his lip, slowly thinking up of what to do. Clearing his throat, Daehyun continued to look down while he spoke in a much deeper voice then before. " Excuse me your highness I'm just a mere messenger... I have very high sensitivity to the sunlight, so I must wear my hood at all times... surely you don't want anybody that walks by you with my head uncovered to claim that you're talking to a man with a rare cautious disease? " Daehyun spoke in his much much deeper voice then before.

[post deleted by owner]

@Daehyun-Free Eyes growing wide, Sehun unsheathed his sword, pointing it at the stranger.

"Lies! Take of his hood, men!" he shouted, growing more suspicious by the minute.

His soldiers rushed to Daehyun, but Joonmyeon held up his hand.

"Are you really more willing to take a child's word over mine? Your commander?" he hissed, the men drawing back, "Take your leave, foolish prince."

@♈Sehun-Kwangju Daehyun bit his lip under his hood, unsure if he should look up or not. Confused whether he should do something or say still.

Silently and unconsciously, Daehyun's head lifted up slightly just so he could catch a quick glimpse of the second prince of Kwangju.

Quickly looking down, Daehyun held his breath in, silently hoping that the prince didn't see any feature on his face.

@Daehyun-Free The rather beautiful prince lifted an elegant brow, barely suppressing a scoff. His features may be as beautiful as his mother, Concubine Kyungsoo, but his personality was as cruel as his father, Dominos Jongin. Contrastingly, his brother, Prince Yixing, had the ruggedly handsome features of his father, but the kind demeanor of his mother. It was impossible to know which combination was more powerful.

"I'm here because last time I checked-oh! I'm your superior, Doctore," he hissed, dark eyes narrowing at Daehyun, "And who's this?"

Joonmyeon kept his pissed off expression, lying quite well, "he's my messenger."

Sehun opened his mouth to question him further, obviously not fooled, but the elder shushed him.

"You'd have noticed if you weren't preoccupied with plotting against your own elder brother." he muttered disdainfully.

@жJoonhee-Kwangju Daehuun sighed and nodded before quickly pulling the hood over his head, nodding his head as he looked down at the ground.

Just when he was about to respond to the male, Daehyun zipped his mouth and looked down at the ground, silently listening to what the two were discussing about.

Daehyun could sense the bitterness of the other's voice, and of course knew that at the moment the young teen in front of him was the second prince of Kwangju.

@Daehyun-Free "Keep your cloak hood on. He doesn't pay attention to those he thinks below him. I'll get you back home," Joonmyeon whispered as the two stepped outside, "Be wary of the second Prince. He's an evil bastard."

By the time the two were out of the encampment, a large entourage led by a teenage boy had arrived. The teen was tall and lanky, seemingly older than his youthful face suggested.

"Prince Sehun," Joonmyeon breathed out, barely able to keep the bitterness from his voice, "What brings you here?"

@жJoonhee-Kwangju Daehyun blinked when the male stated that he wasn't with the Dominos, but in fact the Dominos's Son.

Catching the cloak and the dagger, Daehyun looked at the cloak, somehow bringing back rather disturbing memories of himself and Dominos Yongguk... Daehyun shook his head rapidly to get rid of the thoughts.

" What if he recognized me? " Daehyun said as he quickly placed the cloak around his shoulders, fixing it so that it was tight, but not too tight to make him choke.

@Daehyun-Free "I'm not with the Dominos. I'm under the command of his son and for now, I don't have to follow his orders," Joonmyeon muttered, pacing nervously, "C'mon, I have an idea."

He tossed the other a cloak and sheathed dagger.

"Pretend that you're a messenger in my army. It'll keep you safe for now. I won't let Dominos Jongin touch you, alright?" he promised.

@жJoonhee-Kwangju " ... you're with Dominos Jongin aren't you? " Daehyun said in a hurt and soft voice, looking at the male with a vlank expression.

"It can't be... why does life have to be such a cruel game... what'll happen to me if the Dominos finds out that I'm here... " Daehyun said timidly as he ran a hand through his hair, gripping it tihtly as he tried to collect his thoughts.

" n-no need to say sorry... " Daehyun whispered, looking down at the floor, completely lost in his thoughts.

@Daehyun-Free "The Dominos of Kwangju has ordered an invasion of Bussan." Joonmyeon said solemnly.

As the Heir's lover and Doctore, Joonmyeon could not hesitate to follow the orders given to him. He would have to protect Daehyun and conquer his home at the same time.

"I'm so sorry for this."

@жJoonhee-Kwangju Daehyun blinked when a soldier ran into the chambers.

" What's wrong? " Daehyun asked with furrowed eyebrows, looking at the male as his eyes narrowed.

" Please, tell me what has happened?! " Daehyun said frantically, sitting up as he waited for the answer of the kind male that was willing to protect him.

@Daehyun-Free "I hope so, Concubine Daehyun. For now, I'll accompany you back to-"

A soldier burst into the lord's chambers, bearing a scroll.

"Commander! You must see this!" he shouted with urgency.

Joonmyeon's eyes narrowed, reading the message. The imperial stamp of Dominos Jongin was on it, crimson and frightening.

"They can't do this! The Dominos is months away from giving Yixing the crown! Yixing would never allow this!" Joonmyeon yelled, "Gather the troops! We're heading back home!"
