Chapter 2 - MARKED BY THE MOON

CHAPTER 2

"One of them is human...your majesty"

"I see...it's rare to see a twin so

identical and yet from different kind"

The king said staring at both aggressive Sihyun and calm Yuhyun

"I do not spare any demon but for the

sake of the crown prince"

The king softly said

"And i do not like the idea either of a

Demon sharing the same bed with the crown

Prince and it happens to be a male"

"You have no choice your majesty"

The shaman said

"Nothing can be done can it?"

The king asked not expecting an answer,then he focus his gaze on Sihyun and Yuhyun

"What are your names?"

"Why don't you ask your shamans to tell

you what is it?"

Sihyun said disrespectfully

"Sihyun?"

Yuhyun sharply cuts in,fear clouded his eyes staring at Sihyun but Sihyun stare at him boldly

Yuhyun quickly bow his head towards the king

"Forgive us...your majesty..we dare

not speak in a disrespectful way"

The king scoff with how bold Sihyun is

"I'm Yuhyun..and he is my other half

Sihyun"

"He must be the demon sorcerer"

The king gave an order to the guards,they understood and walked to Sihyun,gripping his clothes

"Hey..what are you doing?..get your

filthy humans hands off me"

Yuhyun watched in fear unable to do anything,they rip Sihyun's clothes to shreds as he became bare chest,everyone saw and stare at Sihyun's demon horn like tattoos which was 18 in number

The king curve a smile

"The demon sorcerer shall share a bed with

the crown prince every night to undo the

Curse mark..on every full moon when they

share a bed,the curse mark becomes weaker

and the magic becomes stronger..making it

faster to undo the curse mark"

The shamans explained

"I do not like this ritual..but it's a

Deal with the Demon"

"Do not think we shall follow any thing

you say"

Sihyun talked back

"Then you shall be beheaded..and do not

think I shall spare your human brother"

Sihyun throw daggers at the king

"Get them a room"

Yuhyun sat at the floor mattress with Sihyun standing by the closed sliding door as his left ankle was wrapped around with the sorcerer chain like a collar

"How did we end up here?"

Yuhyun asked running out of ideas,Sihyun just keep calm

"What do we do Sihyun?"

Yuhyun faced Sihyun

"Let us set this place on fire"

"Do you not ever get tired of violence?

You are the cause why we are here"

"You asked me of what to do"

Yuhyun let out a sigh,Sihyun walk to him and sat in front of him

"Help me out of this chain"

"Sihyun"

Yuhyun called tiredly

"I can not"

"Let us find a way out of here..or do

like the idea of me sharing a bed

with the prince?"

Suddenly Sihyun curve a smile,Yuhyun just stare at him mysteriously

"With the prince huh?..the only one who

can get me out of this chain is the

Prince"

MUWON'S QUARTER

Dohyun hurried in and sat down on the flat,square cushion on the floor embroidered with silk with a low table in front of them

"Guess what?..the demon sorcerer has a

twin identical to him"

"And?"

Taejin asked

"His Majesty already gave them a room"

"So?"

Taejin asked curiously

"So?..is there any other thing you want

to hear?"

Dohyun asked

"You do carry news don't you Dohyun?"

Muwon said softly

"Actually,I ask the guards..I am curious

to see them you know"

"Can I see the demon sorcerer now?"

Taejin and Dohyun both stare at each other at Muwon's question

Sihyun laid his head on Yuhyun's lap as Yuhyun stroke his hair gently,silence fills the room

"Yuhyun"

Sihyun finally called softly

"Hmm?"

"I apologize"

"Sihyun"

"Hmm?"

"I am hungry..that is why we came here

In the first place was it not?"

"Demon"

They both heard the guards non friendly voice from outside,Sihyun raised his head from Yuhyun's lap, suddenly the sliding door burst open

"The prince has called for thee"

Sihyun and Yuhyun stare at each other

"I shall be back"

Sihyun reassured Yuhyun

"Arise at once..the prince awaits"

They drag Sihyun up roughly

"Hey..be careful"

Yuhyun yells,as they drag Sihyun out

"The demon has arrived"

The guard announced,then the sliding door open and they push Sihyun in,Sihyun staggered but stood his ground

Muwon,Dohyun and Taejin stare at Sihyun as Sihyun stare back

"Leave us for now"

Muwon commanded,Taejin and Dohyun stood up

"Yes your royal highness"

Taejin said as they both bow and walked out,Sihyun gaze at the prince elegant wooden bed frame,a soft sleeping mat placed on the wooden surface for comfort,thick blankets made of fine silk embroidered with noble symbols

Cotton stuffed pillows carefully arranged with curtains enclosed with silk drapes for warmth

"It is finally a pleasure to meet

the demon sorcerer"

Muwon spoke up but Sihyun kept silent as silent fills the room,Muwon got up from his cushion and fold his hand round his back

"It seems you are not happy to meet me"

"I was never happy to be here"

Sihyun talked back

"How bold of you"

"And do not think i shall do what you

Please..human"

Muwon smirk,walk up to Sihyun and suddenly grab Sihyun by the chin

"It's..your highness to you..demon"

Sihyun smack Muwon's hand off,Muwon cross his hands backwards and smirk

"And do not expect your brother shall see

"the breaking of another dawn"

Sihyun throw daggers at Muwon as Muwon just smile,Muwon snap his fingers and the sliding door open with guards coming in

"Take him out"

The guards bow and drag Sihyun out

Sihyun walked in as Yuhyun sat on the cushion with food tray in front of him

"Sihyun let us eat..the maids brought

food for us"

"How do you know it is not poisoned?"

Yuhyun halt to look at Sihyun then took a bite from it

"I have you..come here..you need your

energy"

Sihyun sat down beside Yuhyun

"Say ahh"

Sihyun open wide as Yuhyun fed him slowly

"Did you see the prince?"
