F I V E

The rest of the afternoon went by quickly, before I had to go and get ready for dinner. I took off my crown, I didn't really wear it unless I had to for occasions, and re done my hair, letting it flow down my back once again from being tied up, and just pinned back the strands around my face.

A knock came on my door, and I called out to let them enter.

Jimin poked him head around the door, "ready?"

I stood up away from my vanity, "as I'll ever be"

"I saw Prince Taehyung earlier also, he was in the gardens with a lot of the high born children, playing with them" Jimin breathed out as we walked towards the feast room.

I rose an eyebrow, and I could clearly image Tae doing that, even from our small conversation, he seemed very sociable and caring.

"I'd like to see that spar between you and Jungkook though" I muttered back.

Jimin pushed out his chest, "I think it would be an even fight, if I'm honest"

"He's very tall and broad isn't he" I replied, looking up at Jimin.

He rose an eyebrow at me, and then smirked.

"Be quiet" I muttered quietly, stifling my smile.

"You know as well as I do that height and how muscled the competitor doesn't matter to me. But he just gives off that aura, that he knows exactly what he is doing" Jimin said as we walked.

I nodded. Jimin was very fast, I struggled to keep up with watching him. His Father noticed this from a young age, and trained him well, and by the age of eighteen, he was winning spars against some of the King's guard.

We got to the double doors, the guards bowed before opening them, and I saw my Father, and the two men already standing by the dining table, talking with one other.

The two men bowed to me, as Jimin walked me into the room, bowing himself and went back out of the room.

"Hello darling" my Father said as got closer to them all.

I smiled at him, and looked over to Tae and JK. They both had changed, looking a lot more casual, rather than dressed up for the first meeting.

My Father sat down at the head of the table, and I went to my normal seat beside him on his left hand side, before Tae and JK sat opposite me. I noticed that Tae was the one nearest my Father, purely because he was older than JK.

"Have you had a chance to tell the men about this Saturday?" My Father breathed out as he nodded at the servants who began fussing around the table with the wine.

I shook my head, "I have not"

Tae and JK looked curious.

"It's my daughters twentieth birthday on Saturday. And we are having a celebration" my Father said with a smile.

"Oh that sounds like great fun" JK smiled back, looking between my Father and I.

My expression made Tae grin at me, he could see that I wasn't overly fussed about it.

"It's an excuse for the high borns to drink more, and to eye up the single women" I muttered, leaning forward and grabbing my wine.

My Father tutted at me, "and an excuse for your old man to get drunk"

I chuckled, which made the two men laugh as well.

"Do you throw many parties?" Tae asked.

My Father looked thoughtful, "sometimes. Depends on the reason, but we notice that it keeps the morale high with all of the Lords of the land, and they all love an excuse to come to the Palace"
