Summary
Jungkook could feel the spit flying from the king behind his gritted teeth as he spoke, he could see the dagger so closely strapped to the man's hip and though being boxed in by hands stained with blood, he was not afraid. He felt braver than he ever had, taking a step forward and not even flinching when their chests touched, the monarch taking a step back.
“You think that being unloving, unforgiving and unkind is what brings you power. Your oppression, your cruelty, the blood on your hands isn’t from strength. It is from fear. I have held the hands of my people as they took their last breath. I have pried children from the arms of their dead parents. I’ve screamed to the gods and begged them to stop taking lives, knowing very well mine could be next. I have done all of this in the name of love, and that is the fundamental difference between us. My strength protects love, yours destroys it.”
