Married To My Murderer poisoned

the late century of 1860's

in the darkness of night where everything was supposed to still and calm. people resting in their houses after a whole day of tiring themselves........

it wasn't the situation as the whole palace of the great yan dynasty was buzzing with the noise of riot from citizens, demanding justice for their family members, who died for the greed of throne as many innocent civilians died in a war led for insignificant reasons.

"kill him."

"burn him alive."

"my son died because of him."

"my brother......."

In one of the chambers of the palace lied a sick and pale man on the bed.

tae

(hears the shout of the commoners as he gets up from his bed to go to the window when the door of his room was flunged open as two guards entered with a bowl of medicine.)

tae

(frowns at the disrespect, but since he's known for his calm and kind nature he didn't thought much about it)

tae

what's going on downstairs.

guard1 - it's nothing of concern. your highness the crown prince.

guard 2- that's right your highness, we brought you your medicine. you are in poor health so the king asked his physician to brew this medicine for you.

tae

Royal father. (squints his brow in suspicion.)

due to some birth complications tae was always poor in the health but the king never even came to look at him , or considered asking his health , over the years both of them didn't cared for each other's existence . The only reason he could be still a crown prince is because of his maternal family's backing and his brain. unlike his brother's tae couldn't wield a sword but no one can compare to him when it comes to war strategies and planning.

tae

(points to the table on the bedside.) put it to table and you could go.

guard 2 - (hesitates) but my prince the king asked me to come back with the empty bowl.

tae

(glares. ) you dare to question my authority.

guard 1 - (doesn't show any respect or fear.) then I fear my highness we had to do it the hard way. (signals guard 2 as they both hold tae's hand and one forcefully feeds tae the content of the bowl.)

tae

(coughs violently as his throats start burning. he could feel his vision blurring as he fell down on the cold floor.)

guard1 - tsk.... being this weak and ill how could he dream of becoming the emperor of our great country. it should be your honour to die for our second prince. (kicks tae's already unconcious body.)

guard 2- (pulls him away) let's go. don't bother him. we have to inform the king too. once he dies we'll hang his body infront of the palace to appease the people's anger.

guard1 - obviously... our second prince is so smart. haha..

tae

(hears the blurry sounds when he feels everything fading away as he kept falling into an endless abyss.)

tae

*I don't want to die. someone save me.*

ting........

tae

(hears something before he falls into unconscious state)
