The Prince & The Servant Girl

Chapter 50♥️

~Y/N POV~

For the first time in a week I was able to get some free time away from Jungkook today. I mean that has nothing to do with the fact that Jungkook is booked up for the day with constant meetings but it's just nice to get some more quality time with my brother, Yoongi but Taehyung also decided to tag along since I haven't seen much of him lately so at the first chance he got, he latched on to Yoongi and I and now here we all are, in the garden having a nice stroll through the grounds. It is a nice day anyway, not too cold either, it's just right.

Yoongi had hooked his arm around mine and Taehyung was busy talking about his horses he grew up with back at the home he grew up in before actually moving into the castle to be with Jungkook and of course his two older brothers, Jin and Namjoon.

It was kind of cute to hear how fond Taehyung is of his horses, back home but that only made me question why there wasn't any horses here at the castle, or at least a stable close by. From what I know, other castles in history have always had stables and horses, some even had their own little collection of farm animals. Why can't we have that here?

I may not be queen or anything but these questions do come to mind and it makes me wonder what Jungkook would think about that.

"Hey Taehyung, Yoongi? Why isn't there a stable here?"

We stopped walking and Yoongi only gave Taehyung an unreadable look, shaking his head.

"I'll tell you Y/n. There was one once but Jungkook's father got rid of it." Yoongi

"What? Why?"

I couldn't believe that. Like why? For what reason?

"Because it was only after Jungkook's mother passed was when his father burned it down and slaughtered all the animals." Yoongi

"Yeah the horses included." Taehyung

I heard him mumble sadly and I gasped. That's horrible.

"Why would he do that? Doesn't Jungkook know about this?"

"Of course he knows. He was sad about the whole thing but nothing could be done about it. I guess over time he's just completely forgotten about it." Taehyung

"Didn't I hear that Jungkook loved the horses?" Yoongi

He asked Taehyung directly and Taehyung nodded eagerly.

"Oh you bet he did!! He loved all the animals, even the stable boy well actually man because he was old but he had a dog called buttons! Jungkook loved him, it was the closest he had actually gotten to having a pet." Taehyung

Taehyung frowned, to look down to the bed of flowers that were to my right.

"Why hasn't he mentioned this before?"

"Probably doesn't remember much about it but I do! My mom even has pictures of him when he was a little boy playing in the mud with a pig." Taehyung

I laughed when the image of a little Jungkook rolling around in the mud came to mind. It just seemed right that image.

"Wait, so how could he of been sad about it but not remember much? That doesn't make sense Tae." Yoongi

Taehyung sighed sadly.

"Because only when he turned six was when he was allowed to go back to the stables. None of us were, only his mother was allowed to go there. It was the one thing nice that his father did for her but got rid of it as soon as he got the chance." Taehyung

The whole time I've known Jungkook and lived here never have I heard about this stables. Maybe people did really forget that it existed. It would of been nice to see some animals here on castle grounds. Just to have some animal life to make the place seem more lively and friendly, especially if my son was going to grow up here. I'm still thinking on that one.
