A Tale Of Two Kingdoms The Hidden Agenda

Later that evening, the grand halls of the Moonstone Palace were quieter, yet tension lingered in the air like an unspoken storm. The formal meeting had ended, but Jungkook found himself restless, pacing in his private chambers. The words of Prince Taehyung echoed in his mind—calm, confident, and unwavering. There was something about him that unsettled Jungkook, something he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

A sharp knock interrupted his thoughts.

Jungkook [ML]

Come in

he commanded.

The door opened to reveal Yoongi, his expression as unreadable as ever.

Suga [ml's brother]

Still thinking about the prince?

Jungkook scoffed but didn’t deny it.

Something about him doesn’t add up. He speaks of peace, yet I can’t shake the feeling that he has another motive.

Yoongi leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed.

Suga [ml's brother]

You think he’s lying?

Jungkook [ML]

Not necessarily lying

Jungkook admitted

Jungkook [ML]

But he’s hiding something. His father has never been one to seek peace so easily.

Yoongi nodded.

Suga [ml's brother]

We need to keep a close watch on him. See if his actions match his words.

Meanwhile, in the guest quarters, Taehyung stood near the balcony, gazing at the moonlit gardens below. He wasn’t alone. Jimin and Kai were with him, both visibly on edge.

Jimin [mc's brother]

Are you sure about this, Taehyung?

Jimin whispered, his omega scent tinged with worry.

Jimin [mc's brother]

What if they find out the truth?

Taehyung sighed.

taehyung [MC]

We don’t have a choice, Jimin. If this plan fails, our people will suffer the most. I need them to trust me.

Kai, ever the strategist, leaned against the stone railing.

Kai [mc's brother]

Jungkook isn’t a fool. If we make one wrong move, we’ll lose our only chance.

Taehyung clenched his fists.

taehyung [MC]

I know. That’s why we can’t afford to make any mistakes.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of sharp eyes watched from the shadows. Hoseok, quiet and observant, had been assigned to keep an eye on their guests. As he listened to their hushed conversation, a frown formed on his face.

Something wasn’t right

The next morning, as the palace prepared for another round of negotiations, Jungkook found himself locking eyes with Taehyung once more. This time, there was something different—a flicker of something unspoken between them.

Both of them had secrets.

And only time would reveal who would uncover the truth first.
