Chapter Five - The Servant of Evil and The Princess of Evil
(Once upon a time there was a treacherous kingdom and ruling over that place was my cute sibling.)
I was told to escape but here I am numbed on the ground, tears still streaming down my face. What have I done? What did I do? Why is this happening?
I held onto the cold gray wall for support and cried. It’s cold. I looked around the room and noticed how small this room could be. My brother sleeps here and it’s very cold…I closed my eyes and thought about what had just happened with my brother…Minho.
“It’ll be alright. Surely, no one will notice. We are twins after all…”
I clutched onto my chest and I turned around stood up and noticed something on the table near the bed. I walked towards it and then all I could hear was my heart beating fast and my tears dropping on the cold floor.
“If you wear this, Minho will be my prince and I’ll be the princess,”
My right hand instantly covered my mouth. I was crying so hard. The memory of that fateful day when we were having fun and that day when everything changed…all of that came rushing to my mind like a movie.
“Minho…”
I heard noises coming near. It might be the soldiers!
“Wear this and escape immediately,” I clutched on to Minho’s shirt and run fast, very fast, escaping the castle where I once reigned.

(Even if all the world
Became your enemy
I will protect you so
You just be somewhere smiling)
Minho sat on the cold cemented floor waiting for the time of his death. He heard that he’d be executed when the clock would strike 3. He sadly smiled.
“Execution…the people must have really hated my sister that they want to kill her immediately…” he said to no one in particular in the cell. His voice echoed a bit which made him hugged his legs.
“It’s so cold...” There was a moment of silence until a bird landed on the cell window and chirped. Minho looked up.
“Hey,” he stood up and tried to reach for the bird but the bird flew away. Minho’s smile slowly disappeared and he placed his hand back to his side.
“Fate has been really cruel to us. To you…to me. Why did they have to take you away that time…” he said sliding back down to the cold cemented floor.
(*this part is not based on the song…I just made it up XD)
Minho closed his eyes and remembered what they did to Taemin during their childhood times. They changed her. Father taught her how to rule the kingdom. Mother was always worried on how father would always say to you that you rule with fear.
“Why do I need to rule with fear, father? The people would then hate me…” said Taemin glancing at her father who walked back and forth in front of her.
“If you rule with fear, my dear, you could control the people. You will have their loyalty! Then other kingdom
would hear how great you rule…ahhh, they will bow down to you,” her father said with an evil glint in his
eyes.
Taemin was confused. She blinked, not understanding what her father is saying.
“I don’t understand, father. Can I rule with no fear at all…I want to have peace---“
“NONSENSE! There is no such thing as peace!”
“But---“
“Are you disobeying me, Taemin? Disobeying the King is a crime,”
Taemin looked up with teary eyes.
“No, father! I am not…”
“Do not cry! That is for weaklings!”
Taemin sobs and hugs herself in fear.
“I said do not cry!!” her father grabbed her arm and yanked her towards the floor.
“Ah! Father! You’re hurting me!”
The door suddenly opened revealing a lady with long silky black hair and a little Minho on her side.
“Stop this!”
“Mother…” Taemin hold onto her mother’s dress, sobbing in her chest while Minho patted Taemin’s back.
“Do not interfere with us,”
“I will interfere when I want to. I am her mother and you are teaching her nonsense, my lord,”
“Nonsense, you say? Another insolent fool!” he grabbed the Queen’s neck and tried to choke her.
“Mother!!”
“Father stop it, please! No!”
Their mother struggled. She reached out for her two children but then the hold of the King was too tight.
“Father, please stop!” Minho exclaimed grabbing his father’s arm. The King looked at Minho with disgust in his eyes.
“Father? Don’t call me that! I never considered you as my son,” he pushed Minho hard and he hit the table.
Taemin’s eyes widened and rushed towards her brother’s side. Minho was bleeding due to the impact.
“Minho…”
“You are weak!” the King threw the dead body of his wife on the floor and the children could only look at their mother with fear and tears in their eyes.
“Now…where were we, Taemin?” her father chuckled and held out his hand.
Taemin looked at him. ‘If I follow him…no one would get hurt…no one…’ She looks at Minho and knelt down.
“I’m sorry…” Taemin accepted the hand of her father and the last thing Minho saw was Taemin being dragged away
by their father…
Yes, I remembered that time. Cruel, and sad fate. Mother died and you blamed yourself for it. When we grew up,
you did not mention mother’s name nor remembered her. You have become like father, cruel and evil…yet you have this tenderness towards me. I don’t understand…
When you were reigned the ruler of the Kingdom, father was glad. Indeed, he was. But ever since you ruled, you took over father’s job as King and he was left as nothing to you. You ordered the guards to punish him for some reason.
“Kill him. Drown him…hold onto his neck until he struggles…” Taemin said with a flat tone.
“My daughter, what nonsense is this? Are you joking your father?” the King said half laughing and half
worried.
Taemin raised her right eyebrow up and chuckled which sends shivers to the people in the room including her father.
“Minho, do I look like I am joking?” Taemin asked her brother, who was staying at her right side. Minho closed his eyes and smiled slightly.
“No, my lady,”
Taemin nods and turned back to her father.
“Nonsense and joke, you say? Daughter…oh King, did you ever treated me as your daughter?” Taemin seriously said.
The King walked towards Taemin and touched her knee. This earned a dirty look from Taemin.
“Taemin, what are you saying? Of course, I am your father. Your mother and I gave birth to you,” the King said
with a smile. Minho cringed hearing what the King said.
“Why do you speak like I am the only one existing? Mother gave birth to me and my brother. My brother is a part of me, King. How dare you…”
“Taemin…I---“
“and you speak so tender mentioning our mother…and yet you killed her!” this earned a gasp from the people around the room. They didn’t know that. The King killed the Queen.
“You are the nonsense! Hn…you taught me a lot, King and now let me apply what I have learned…Guards! Do as I say and drown him! Choke him until he struggles! Do not allow him to breathe,” Taemin exclaimed looking at her
once father with angry eyes.
Guards grabbed the King’s arms and dragged him away.
“I am the King!! You do not-“
“Oh, King? But who is the ruler of the Kingdom? You were once King but I have the power now!”
And the doors closed as their father was being dragged away, awaiting his death.
Taemin sighed and looked at Minho and hugged him tightly.
“Taemin?”
“Mother would rest in peace now…finally…” and Minho felt the wetness on his shirt as Taemin said those words.
You did that to avenge mother. You did not hesitate to kill father and for some reason a thorn in my heart was finally released when he died. I must have hated father as well. He never treated me well and never considered me as his son. Was I weak? I don’t care anymore….the past is the past and to be honest, I was glad that he died.
I smiled and hit myself lightly on what I am saying to myself.
“Hey! The time has come,” I heard a soldier say and they opened the cellar. They grabbed me we walked out of the castle to enter my doom.
“This is it then…”

(You're a princess, I'm a servant
Destiny separated pitiful twins
If it's for the sake of protecting you
I'll become evil for you)
Taemin reached the town proper and hid behind a post to not be discovered. She saw a blanket near the crates on the house beside her and grab it and made it into a cape. She freely roamed around the town until she reached the central plaza where everyone is.
She saw a stage of some sort and a guillotine on the middle.
“No…”
A loud bell was heard signaling the clock has finally strike 3 pm. The people gathered in front of the stage and Taemin watched in silence as she moved herself nearer to the stage.
“There she is!!” a man exclaimed as he pointed to the ‘princess’ being dragged on the stage by two soldiers
“Minho…”
Jonghyun and Onew sat on the stage watching the whole event. The soldiers pushed Minho forward and placed his head on the space on the guillotine. They tied his hands behind so that he wouldn’t struggle. One soldier still held onto his hand for security.
Onew stood up.
“People of the Kingdom of Yellow, I am Princess Onew announcing the death sentence that would be brought upon to your former princess, Princess Taemin, shall commence now!” she said and the people cheered.
Taemin looked at her brother and saw that he was smiling.
The bell rang again and the people cheered loudly.
Minho looked at her. Taemin looked at him.
Taemin didn’t saw nor mind the crowd but all she could see was her twin brother, her Minho.
“Release the rope!!” the man handling the rope for the guillotine followed the order and slowly it was released.
Taemin shook her head and tears streamed down from her face.
Minho smiled, his last smile towards his sister and before the blade could reach him he said,
“It’s tea time…”
And everything turned dark for Taemin.
The people rejoiced and cheered. Taemin couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. Shee was stuck and the only thing that she could hear was the blade slashing the head of her twin and the only thing she could feel is the wetness of his cheeks from the tears. The people left the place and she does not care if they bumped onto her.
Taemin cried her heart out holding onto a small bottle on her hand. She saw the bottle before leaving Minho’s room as she remembered something from the past.
“Minho…Minho…Minho…I’m sorry…it’s my fault….I’m sorry…”
“Come back…Minho…Minho!!”
And a strong wind passed by and Taemin looked up and she heard a voice, a familiar one.
“If I could be born once again, I want to be with you…”
++
“Taemin,” a voice called out.
Taemin turned and she smiled.
“Father!” she runs and hugged his father. Her father patted her head and held Taemin’s hand.
“Taemin, I want you to meet someone,”
She looked at the person in front of her and the tears just uncontrollably streamed down her face.
“I’m home…”
