He had been eight years old then, still small enough to hide behind the silken skirts of his attendants, yet bratty enough to throw golden goblets to the floor if he didn’t get what he wanted.
That day, the King had called him to the throne room.
King Jeon
Jungkook.. (his father’s deep voice had rumbled across the marble hall)
King Jeon
It is time you had a protector of your own.
Jeon Jungkook
(The prince had pouted immediately, clutching his sugared honey-cakes tighter)
I don’t need one. I want sweets, not some boring man with a sword.
But the King had only gestured.
And from behind the guards stepped a boy—not much older than him, but taller, with eyes too serious for his age. Dark hair framed a solemn face, and though his body was thin with youth, he carried himself like stone.
King Jeon
This is Taehyung. (The King announced)
King Jeon
From this day, he is yours. He will guard you, follow you, kneel when you command, and rise when you allow. A prince cannot be without his knight.
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook had wrinkled his nose, unimpressed) He looks boring.
The hall had erupted with muffled laughter, but the boy.. Taehyung had only lowered to one knee, his head bowed.
