Then let's start 🫣
[Royal Council Hall, Morning]
Golden sunlight streams through tall windows. Nobles debate. The king sits high on his throne.
Minister Daejin
Your Majesty, the shapeshifter attacks grow bolder.
Minister Daejin
We must tighten the laws before more innocents suffer.
King Hyun Jin
*voice cold* The law is already too soft.
King Hyun Jin
They are parasites, thieves of human faces. Eradication is the only answer.
Queen Soojin
But, my king, not all are guilty...
King Hyun Jin
*snarling* Silence, woman. You forget your place.
At the council table, Prince Taehyung watches quietly. His fingers tighten against the polished wood.
Prince Taehyung
*thoughts*
Always the same words. Hatred. Fear.
Prince Taehyung
Is there truly no other way?
Behind him, a figure in black armor stands motionless—Jeon Jungkook, his bodyguard. Sharp eyes, unreadable face.
Taehyung walks swiftly, Jungkook a step behind.
Prince Taehyung
You heard them. Again, the same venom.
Jeon Jungkook
*quietly* It is not my place to speak of the council, Your Highness.
Prince Taehyung
You never speak. Always stone, always silent.
Taehyung stops, turning. Jungkook lowers his gaze.
Prince Taehyung
Do you agree with them, Jungkook? That shapeshifters are monsters?
Jeon Jungkook
*tense pause* …It is not my place to judge.
Prince Taehyung
*tired laugh* Then whose place is it? My father’s?
Prince Taehyung
The same man who sees the world only in blood and power?
Jungkook’s jaw tightens. For the briefest second, his dark eyes burn with something more than loyalty.
[Training Yard, Afternoon]
Swords clash. Soldiers drill. Taehyung watches from the balcony, Jungkook at his side.
General Seokmin
*to the soldiers* Again! Strike as though your enemy wears another man’s skin!
Taehyung flinches. Jungkook’s hand curls into a fist at his side. The prince notices but says nothing.
Prince Taehyung
*to Jungkook, low voice* Do you ever tire of this?
Prince Taehyung
Of hearing the same hatred drilled into every blade?
Jeon Jungkook
*quiet, restrained* A soldier obeys orders.
Prince Taehyung
And what of a man?
Their eyes meet. Tension hums. Jungkook breaks away first.
Kim Taehyung
Age : 22
Crown Prince of Solaria. Charismatic and empathetic, but torn between duty to the throne and his desire to bring justice. Loves art, music, and secretly dreams of freedom.
Jeon Jungkook
Age : 21
Royal bodyguard. Stoic, loyal, and skilled with the sword. Hides his shapeshifter identity out of fear of persecution. Struggles between his people and his love for Taehyung.
Hyun Jin
Age : 48
The king. Cruel, power-hungry, and deeply prejudiced against shapeshifters. Values control above all.
