Chapter FOUR

-

Christian struggled a bit as Yoon pushed him down to the ground, not too harshly because he didn't want to hurt Christian. The brown haired man who was once the Prince, glared at Amos - who in turn took his place upon the throne.

The new king didn't seem too bothered or chased by anything, besides the fact that he had an eager look on his face.

He smiled as the throne room doors opened, revealing a maid walking in with taehyung being pushed gently in front. The smallest eye's were huge in some state of shock or paralyzation as he approached the king.

After the duel, Amos instructed a maid to clean Xander up and pamper him as if he were the Queen. Amos admired the smallers attire, he had on a baggy golden blouse along with brown tights that outlined his gorgeous slender legs.

A pair of black long boots adorned his legs. His Sandy hair all combed to one side... Making him look so sweet. His marble skin was free of blood stains and instead replaced with a soft glow, despite being so pale.

Eyeliner was applied to his honey glazed eyes, allowing for them to pop beautifully.

The small Prince's eyes were still the sizes of bowling balls as he approached the new king, he was still trying to grasp the fact that his parents were both killed in an instant and he was now held captive.

He seemed stuck in a state of shock, so he just went with whatever was happening.

Amos smirked at his pure Prince and gestured for the little boy to sit on his lap by patting it gently but Xander just stood and stared at him with blankness. The raven haired chuckled before he pulled Xander by the wrist until he plopped down on his thick thighs with a soft thud.

Amos leaned forward slightly, his chest pressing against Xander's back- making him stiffen- before he sniffed the small Prince's hair. It smelt like pine and the King closed his eyes as he caressed the smallers hair as if he were a cat or a pet.

Christian watched with pity in his eyes. Who was really suffering in this situation? Christian wondered.

The small Prince with Sandy hair stared at Christian with almost teary eyes, a small smile on his face to try and cheer his big brother up.

Amos seemed to notice this, so he slowly snaked his hand on Xander's right thigh and with no struggle at all, managed to spin the boy around until he was facing him. Xander yelped in surprise before whimpering at the force, his small hands flattening against Amos' large chest out of instinct.

All Xander could see was the new king now. He hung his head down low so that he wouldn't have to meet his gaze.

"What are we going to do about him your majesty?" Yoon spoke up as he gestured toward Christian, but he received no response because the king was so transfixed on Xander. Amos stared at the small boy's features and instinctively, he reached out and began to caress his smooth golden skin.

Xander flinched at the contact, scared that Amos would hurt him.

The small Prince had his head turned to the side with his arms limp by his side. He felt anger and sadness, he had lost his family. All in a blink of an eye...

"What's wrong my Queen, You seem... Rather upset?" Amos asked, a slight teasing tone to his voice as he spoke, all the while his fingers brushed the smallers cheek in admiration.

"Get your hands off of him!"

The sudden shout had made Xander jump slightly in fright and Amos narrowed his eyes at this, his eyes turning from soft to hard in a blink of an eye. His glare now directed to Jimin who sat on his knees snarling, yanking at the restraints behind him.

"kill him."

Came Christian's angered yet calm reply. The way he had said it, it was as if it was the most normal thing to say.

Xander's eyes narrowed at this, his head darting and looking over his shoulder with wide eyes, almost on the verge of tears as he noticed Christian struggling against the chains and in that moment...

Memories of their child hood flooded his mind. Memories of when they played together in the rain, memories of Christian eating Xander's food when their parents weren't looking or when Xander slipped into Christian's bed when the thunder had made him scared.

His heart ached at the thought that his brother would die too.. Right now.

"N-no... B-brother." Xander had whispered out shakily, tears blurring his vision so much so that his tears began to cascade down his cheeks. Christian heard him, he stopped his struggling just so he could look at his baby brother in the eye.

His orbs were sad yet he still smiled in order to reassure Xander that everything was going to beokay. Even though it was not. Xander held eye contact for a few seconds longer before Yoon gripped onto Christian's collar and began to drag him away.

The Sandy haired Prince let out a disheartened sob, so he did the best thing he thought could save his brother,

He turned out quickly and flung himself into Amos' chest all the while bunching his fist up in the tough fabric of the King's blouse.

He looked down, he didn't want to make eye contact as he cried.

"No n-no! Please! Don't k-kill my brother." He was shaking softly, his brain could not settle on anything. Fear racking over his body so much so that he had forgotten about the stress that nagged at the back of his mind.

Amos lifted his hand up, signalling Yoon to stop, to which he did. The sound of dragging had stopped.

Xander stayed still for a while, small sobs leaving his lips and hiccups were heard as he cried. The small Prince dared himself to look up at the raven haired and once he did, he shrunk back a little at the piercing stare before he looked down again.

He calmed down a little but he was still frantic.

"Please d-dont l-let him kill C-Christian... I'll do anything you want."

"Anything?"

"Xander no!" Christian screamed.

Xander felt his throat clog up, finding it extremely hard to breathe. He looked down at his legs and without hesitation, he nodded his head

"Words my little Prince." Amos barked, Xander flinching at the tone but otherwise complied.

"Yes."

"That's very sweet of you my queen, but..." Amos stopped, he lifted Xander's face to meet his eyes using his thumb before tilting his head to keep contact with the smaller. His eyes getting lost in the little angel before he spoke again,

"... You have to do anything I say regardless. So that doesn't sound like much of a pretty bargain. Don't you think?" Amos fake pouted and pretended to be sad. Xander hung his head low again, a sob getting ready to leave his mouth again. He stared hard and tried to think of something else he could offer.

Something that could peak the males interest, something that could be of proper value to him.

Until it came to him.

"Consensual."

"Excuse me?"

"I promise to behave in manner that shows I've granted consent. Regardless of whatever you do... I will not defy you. I will obey you with no question... In exchange for my brothers life." Xander looked up determined,

"No defiance... " Amos looked as if he were giving it some thought, his brain having a debate of whether it was a good decision.

"... Complete obedience? Hmm... " He mocked. It was clear, clear that the questions were rhetorical.

The raven looked back down into the smallers eyes, making Xander look away quickly. Losing his confidence almost immediately at the the hard stare. Amos began to run his thumb over the bottom plush lip of Xander, basking in how soft it was against his finger.

"All this... For his life?" Amos asked and he smirked when Xander instantly nodded.

"words." his hold tightened and Xander winced a little before he opened his mouth,

"Yes... "

"yes who?"
