There were two Things that he realized while Changbin was leading him through the Castle.

First: The People who lived here must definitely have a good Memory when it came to Rooms and Ways.

And second: Finding a Way out of here would be harder than Seungmin had imagined.

He had stopped trying to remember the different Curves and Stairs a while ago, only focusing on his Breath to calm down the pulsating Pain that with every Step had started to grow.

If Changbin noticed Seungmins Condition he didn't say anything or simply did not care. The Man walked confidently forward, only the humming was missing.

And again Seungmin wanted to break his Nose.

They really must be a funny Picture.

The Muscle Man with the Confident Steps and the dirty Teenager Boy who was stumbling forward like an old Man with a pale Face and Sweat all over his Body.

Maybe they just walked around in a Circle? Even the Walls looked similar. Or was Seungmin already hallucinating?

The sudden Stop of Changbin stopped his thoughts about his Mindset and Seungmin straightened his back, trying to look like the Way hasn't affected him at all.

He was a terrible Liar.

Changbins Eye's said everything.

,, Unfortunately there is no Time anymore for a Bath. You were a big slow so you need to Face him like that."

Excuse me? Did Seungmin just heard slow?

He clenched his Jaw and only the Wound at his Side stopped him from jumping onto that Man.

But the Knight already had turned back to the Door and knocked a few Times.

Silence but then...

,,Come in."

The Door swung open and Changbin walked in, almost pulling Seungmin with him.

,,I can go by myself." Seungmin yanked his Arm away, staring at him darkly.

A disgusted Sound followed by a laugh made him finally turn forward and his eyes widened.

Black Walls covered with Bookshelves turned the dark atmosphere into something mysterious,  the old carpet even comfortable. High black Windows reached up to the Roof and gave a perfect View on the from Dust covered Forest of Fallmore, throwing  a bit of Light at the Floor.

A Desk, covered with Pieces of Paper was standing in the Middle, candles flickering from the sudden Wave of Air.

Seungmins Eyes found the Prince.

The Figure wasn't hidden under a Coat anymore and instead showed broad Shoulders and slight curly Hair. He was not as tall as Seungmin but definitely stronger, Slight curves of his Sixpack moving under the white Shirt as he turned around. A red Cape was falling down his Back and now moved as he stepped forward, more into his Light.

Brown Eyed calmly looked at Seungmin, trailing over him before stopping at the Wound.

,, Why isn't the Wound treated Changbin?" He looked at the Man on Seungmins Side. Seungmin chuckled, already had almost forgotten that the Knight was still there.

,,I'm Sorry Sire, there wasn't Time left. He was too slow."

The Sentence brought Seungmin back into Reality and before the Prince could say something he already started talking.

,,I wonder if you would walk fast if you have a Wound on your Side that pulsates at every single step you take." He glanced at him.  ,,A wound that btw you are responsible for."

Changbins Face twitched but the Prince laughed.

,,I'm glad your Tone is still as sharp as I remember. I kind of missed it to be honest."

Surprised Seungmin turned around but immediately covered it with an innocent blink of his Eyes.

,,My Lord I feel like you're really attached to me. First of all you give me compliments and then you say you missed me. What an honour."

Instead of Anger, the Smile on the Prince Lips only widened and he turned around as he said:

,,Didn't I tell you Minho? He is such a Brat."

Something moved and another Figure stepped into the Light, Eyes dark as the Night as he looked at the Boy.

Seungmins Mind stopped working.

If the Prince was already Handsome then it was nothing compared to the Man that now came up to them. His Skin was so pure that he looked like an Angel, Facial Curves sharp and eyes so intense that whoever looked at them would get lost and weak.

His Figure was a bit smaller but also strong and his Movements were smooth as he inspected Seungmin like a Piece of Trash.

Turning around he said : ,,Didn't you tell me he killed a Knight? Maybe you catched the wrong Person Brother. This Boy doesn't look like he could even harm an Insect. "

Seungmin who had been lost in the man's beauty and even sighed when he heard the soft but cold tone of his Voice returned to Reality.

,,Excuse me, why don't you ask me myself before speaking about me like I wasn't there?"

Changbin next to him gasped and even the Prince looked at him with sudden intense Eyes as the other Man slowly turned around and almost sended Seungmin back into Trance before he said:

,,I'm not talking to unimportant Creatures like you." He then continued : ,, I think we should throw him back into the Dungeon."

Creature?! What was this Arrogant Ass thinking to speak to him like that!!! Seungmin clenched his Fists, murdering him with his Eyes.

,,I already told you Minho, he is really talented and can be good for us in the future."

Minho snorted but the Prince already continued.

,,Of course we don't have to talk about his Manners, they are horrible but this will come with time."

He turned away.

Seungmin rolled his eyes.

,,You know I'm right here right? I can hear you talking about me and to be honest when we speak of Manners, it's not the best Manner to talk about someone behind his back and especially not when he is in the same Room."

,,Quiet." Changbin finally found his Voice again and grabbed him tightly.

,,You deal with this Chan, keep him away from him and don't cry at my Shoulder when I was right. " Minho threw a Pen at the Desk, then turned around, his Red cape flying in the Wind as he passed them.

,,And clean him up. He smells like Shit. "

He dissapeared.

Eyes wide with outrage, Seungmin stared after him. What an Asshole. Beautiful from the outside but ugly from the Inside.

,,I'm sorry for my Brother's Manners." Chan smiled.

How could he smile the Whole time???

,, He is not comfortable around Strangers, especially not those who start working here."

Now he had all of Seungmins Attention. The Boy raised an Eyebrow.

,,Working? Excuse me my Lord but I don't remember to sign a Contract. "

Chan laughed, leaned on the Desk and crossed his Legs.

,,No, indeed you did not but I think you will sign it once you heard what choice I give you."

Seungmins Eyebrow raised even more. ,,What choice?"

,,Well..." The Prince played with a Pen and then directly looked at him.

,,What you did at the Village was stupid and I'm not really amused that you killed one of my best Man. But... You were really brave and your Body language was different. You were calm and focused and these days we don't have a lot of People who are like that. So I give you the Choice. You can stay here in the Castle, you will follow me and help me with daily things and follow me to Meetings and other important Organisations. In return you can walk around freely, tho in the beginning Changbin will keep an Eye on you so you won't do something stupid."

His Eyes darkened and it was like he was looking into Seungmins Soul. It was a Warning that was clear.

The Boy was speechless. Was the Prince or Chan or whoever he was serious? He wanted him to be his Butler? Didn't he know who Seungmin was?!

,,And what's the other Option?" He heard himself ask.

The Prince stopped playing with the Pen and leaned back. Arms crossing in front of his Chest,  he slowly said:

,,You will go back to the Dungeons and die."
