The Suitors | T&J | ✔️

T W E L V E

The rest of the evening went by quickly, between the merry people around me, and the little conversations I would have with Tae and JK, I did enjoy myself.

Jimin walked me back to my chambers as a lot of the guests started leaving.

"You didn't drink that much" Jimin muttered as we walked.

I shook my head, "you know I don't drink like that"

"Still, you normally have around three" he replied.

I looked up at him, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me like that, you know you are my best friend, but you will always be the person I have to protect, first. You will be my Queen one day, Lis. And then I'll be Captain of the Queen's guard" he flashed a smile at me at the end.

I chuckled, "way to ruin your cute words"

He playfully nudged me with his arm.

"My Father is bugging me now, because of you" Jimin muttered a few seconds later.

"About what?" I asked back quickly.

"Marriage. He's asking if he can set up a courtship, with some of the high born young women, same ages as you, because says that our children could grow up together, like you and I did. Another generation of royals and personal guards" he said, but did smile at the end.

I rose my eyebrows, "honestly, I wouldn't be mad at that idea"

Jimin scoffed, "you are a full time job, you wonder off all the time, it's lucky I just know where you are, I know your routine better than my own"

I chuckled, because it was true.

"You know your wife would have a nanny to help her" I muttered.

Jimin made a uncomfortable face at me, "I mean I know I'm twenty four, and it's getting near the time I should be thinking about it"

"You've never had trouble with women, Jimin" I muttered out truthfully.

He breathed out a big grin.

"See you tomorrow, Lis" Jimin said as we got to the two guards standing outside of the double thick doors.

They opened the doors for me as I saw the door to my right was shut, it was an office, with a library inside that I used as a safe place for me to switch off, reading the books I had collected.

But I first went into my bedroom, right in front of me, around the bright flowers that had moonlight drifting down on them.

There on my bed was a little parcel wrapped in brown. Written on top of it was just a 'T'

"Oh wow" I breathed out as I opened the box, it was an arm bangle, that was white gold. But dotted around was the stone ruby jade, shimmering in a beautiful shade of red.

I tided up the rubbish, and then went over to my jewellery cabinet, near to my vanity, with another room joining with a lot of my clothes.

Then I quickly went into my office room, admiring the cosy feel it had in here. But then I creased my eyebrows, as I saw above the desk to my right, where I normally had a painting of the Kingdom, and the ocean behind it.

Instead, there was a young woman's face, that I knew from seeing paintings of her before, to know who she was.

My Mother.

I pursed my lips as my eyes started to prick. She was beautiful. I knew I got a lot of my looks from her, my golden hair, and delicate features. She was sat on the throne, smiling.
