The caged crown

.
.
The palace walls were white marble veined with gold - beautiful, cold, and utterly impenetrable
Prince Kim Taehyung stood before them in silence, his violet eyes lifted to the towering spires that stabbed the heavens like spears.
The morning sun caught the edge of his robe, a flowing tapestry of cobalt blue lined with silver, and made it shimmer like a sea about to boil
Today, he was no longer the forgotten prince
Today, he would be seen
Queen Kim Seok Jin/DO/Tae
Queen Kim Seok Jin/DO/Tae's mother
Tae
A soft voice clipped, and careful.
Queen seok Jin approached, his silver-blonde hair falling on his shoulders, like a crown beneath his coat
Queen Kim Seok Jin/DO/Tae
Queen Kim Seok Jin/DO/Tae's mother
The council is gathering, they will expect...
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
To see a silent Omega *he finished, gaze steady*
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
They expect nothing new from me. And that is why they will lose.
Seok Jin didn't smile, but his lips trembled with pride
Queen Kim Seok Jin/DO/Tae
Queen Kim Seok Jin/DO/Tae's mother
You are your father's heir, whether they like it or not. But this path is not without thorns .
Tae looked out over the palace courtyard. Alphas in crimson armor lined the walkway, head bowed, yet eyes full of disdain.
He could smell their arrogance, the way they masked it beneath iron and incense
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
I was born with thorns*he murmured*
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
Let them bleed if they try to pluck me.
The double doors to the council chamber loomed ahead, carved with scenes of conquest - Alphas on thrones, alphas on steed, alphas spilling blood. Not a single Omega in the carvings wore a crown.
Not yet .
The doors opened
Inside, the chamber rang with silence as Tae entered. Alphas rose to their feet, reluctantly -one by one - forced by tradition to acknowledge the prince .
Even if his scent marked him beneath them, even if their law whispered that no Omega had the right to lead
High on the dais sat king Kim Namjoon , franked by chancellor Lee Suho and Lord commanders from every province
His storm gray gaze met Tae's, Unreadable. A father. A king. A wall
Lord Lee Suho /A/Chancellor
Lord Lee Suho /A/Chancellor
Kim Taehyung
Suho's voice rang like a blade drawn from its sheath
Lord Lee Suho /A/Chancellor
Lord Lee Suho /A/Chancellor
The Omega Prince... Has arrived
Murmurs passed through the council like wind through fire. But Tae didn't flinch. He took his place before the throne - not below it
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
I came not to question, but to declare my intent *he said his voice clear and calm*
That silenced even hawks
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
I will not Marry for alliance.
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
I will not be tucked away, mated off, and hidden behind curtains. I will rule as Regent until the crown is mine in full
He said, each word a nail in the old coffin of their power
King kim Namjoon/Alpha/ Tae
King kim Namjoon/Alpha/ Tae's father
This is not how things are done, Tae.*he said hand gripped the armrest of his throne*
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
Then it's time they are done differently
A gasp. A shift of armor. And from the shadows, a voice neither soft nor noble
Kim Taehyung/RO
Kim Taehyung/RO
" he speaks like a king"
A figure stood at the edge of the chamber. Tall, battle worn, dressed in dark leathers and a wolf skin clock. A long scar crossed his face, but his golden eyes burned brighter than the Torches above. Tae's breath caught
