"Thief! Thief! Catch the thief!," a bulky bearded angry man shouted as he tried to run after a young boy who had just stolen his oranges.

Bypassers gasped and murmers filled the air as they watched the scene unfold in front of them. No one dared to intervene and no one did anything to help the poor merchant.

 

Byun Baekhyun cursed inwardly as he skipped over a crossing dog. How could he get caught? He was sure the merchant had his attention poised somewhere else and yet he got caught.

He prayed for a miracle to happen as he turned to the left, then right, trying to shake the angry merchant off his back. Was his luck running out now? Of all times why now? In all his previous times, he'd always managed to get things without getting caught red handed, but this time Lady Luck seemed to have failed to do her duty on guarding him.

 

When he turned to the left again, his body was caught forcefully all of a sudden and it was then that he found himself unable to move. His eyes widened in horror. Guards dressed up with heavy armor and their weapons hoisted in their arms surrounded him. That could only mean one thing.

 

The King of West EXO was near.

 

And sure the latter was. Every living soul stood to watch the scene in silence, awaiting whatever decision was going to be made. The merchant who had been chasing him and screaming earlier stopped when his eyes met the King. He stopped with widened eyes, bowed and then stayed quiet.

 

"What is going on here?," the King's loud and deep rich voice boomed through the air.

 

No answer. His eyes landed on a squirming lad held captive by the arms by one of his men. The boy was dirty. And the King grimaced.

 

"Y-your majesty... Sire, sir... He... He stole my goods," the merchant finally managed to bring out.

 

The King's expression didn't change. He turned to look at the boy and motioned for one of his guards to check the supposed thief and surely a couple of oranges and apples could be found in the latter's inside pockets. They were showed to the King and everyone waited for the King's reaction.

 

"So it is true then, what the merchant said. Well, to bring back justice and peace in this land, I hereby order for the thief to be beheaded!," the King's eyes were stern. "Lock him up in the dungeon. I will see to the capital punishment as soon as I deem ready!,"

A/N:

Hello, my dearest readers. Here's another one of my new ideas I've been thinking about a lot lately. It's actually one part of a bigger picture or story. Kind of like linked to each other or some sort. I am not sure how many chapters it's going to contain, I only hope to finish it off well like all my other stories I try to finish at the same time.

For now, I will try to make it a one-shot or probably a two-shot if it gets too long though, but anyways... We'll see about it. I hope you guys will enjoy the story and give it lots of support. 

Please leave a comment or anything you want to say below and I will reply as fast as I can. Like it? Please upvote, subscribe and give it much love.
