Ancient Love - Jerusha Rock

Chapter 6

Jungkook's pov

She opened the door again and asked "Did I miss something? Was something missing?" By that time, I found my wig and I put it on already. This time, her eyes were wide.

"I was hairless." I murmured to myself

"What?"

"No, I was just being careless."

"Uh-huh. Okay, anyway I'll be waiting for you in the court."

"Okay, Daebi-mama."

She closed the door and I collapsed on my bed.

I should be really careful from now on. I would have got my throat slit if her eyes were open.

***

I made my way to the court and I saw the queen dressed in royal clothes. The ministers sat in the sides. I walked between the ministers and stood in front of her throne. Well, I just did the walk of embarrassment because I was the only man in the whole kingdom. I heard the women murmur.

"Woah, who is she?"

"When did she come over here?"

"Doesn't she look beautiful?"

"Wonder, why she's here?"

Wow! I feel proud of myself right now. I've succeeded in doing my make-up well.

"Silence" The queen shouted. "She's Jeon Kookieana. I encountered her on the way here. She will be our new minister. She has very good skills of fighting. She knows how to handle her sword well. Plus, she intelligent and funny."

Wait, I don't remember showing my fighting skills to her. Oh, I know why... she doesn't want to say that she got drunk last night. Clever.

Then one of her ministers stood up and said "But Daebi-mama, you didn't tell us anything about this. How can you decide this without discussing it with us?"

"I'm the queen. I get to decide. But then, if you really think that she's not eligible to be a minister then you can ask her questions. But then only one question."

Another minister stood up and said, "I'll ask her the question." I felt scared at that moment. She continued, "I know Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Tamil, Hindi, and English. Which of these is my mother tongue?" All the ministers smirked after hearing the question. But then, I smirked back because I knew the answer. I said, "Your mother tongue is Chinese."

"What!" Everyone said in unison.

"Is it true?" The queen asked the minister.

"What! No, Daebi-mama my mother tongue isn't Chinese. It's Korean."

Everybody looked at me and I chuckled. "No, it's Chinese."

"How are you sure about that?" The queen asked me.

"Daebi-mama, if her mother tongue was Korean then she would tell Korean first. She wouldn't tell Chinese first. Everyone tells their mother tongue first and then the other languages they know."

Everybody was shocked. I could see the Queen getting angry. She turned her gaze towards the minister and asked "Is it true?"

"N-No Daebi-mama." the minister stuttered.

"Daebi-mama I can prove it to you." I spoke.

"I'm a Korean. I'm not Chinese. Let me see how can you prove it." The minister said.

"Okay." I said. "Daebi-mama, may I borrow your earing?"

"My earing?"

"Yes Daebi-mama."

Without any hesitation, she removed one of her gold earrings and gave it to Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun walked down the small staircase in front of the throne and gave it to me. I bowed down after taking it and made my way towards the minister. I asked her to stretch out her hand and she did so. I took the pointed side of the earring and pricked her finger lightly.

"Ahhhhh Muschin~" She shouted in Chinese. Everybody was shocked.

Ouch! I really didn't mean to hurt her...

The queen asked, "What is that supposed to mean?"

"'Muschin' means 'Mother' in Chinese." I explained. I returned back the queen's earring and stood back in the middle of the court. "D-Daebi mama..." The minister stuttered.

"You're Chinese! GET OUT OF THIS KINGDOM! HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME!" The queen shouted.

"B-But Daebi-mama... I've been loyal to you since day one. I've never betrayed you. I don't want to leave this beautiful kingdom." She said, crying. I felt bad for her at that moment. The queen's eyes softened at that moment. She said "Just because you've been loyal to me and have never betrayed me... I'm sliding this off. But then... you try to do anything to this kingdom then you'll be banished from this kingdom."

The minister bowed down and sat back in her chair. She gave me an angry look and I had a bad about that. I looked up at the queen and she was like a shining star, sitting on that throne. It was like the throne was specially made for her. She looked so beautiful with the jewels but then she didn't wear many jewels like other queens. She just wore one simple gold necklace and a pair of earrings. Her crown was sitting on her head perfectly. Everything was just perfect in her. I was just sinking into her beauty until when she said "Where were you all this time young lady? You're so intelligent. You're eligible to be my minister. I knew I had made the correct decision."

I bowed down in respect. "You may take your seat as a minister." she said. I was about to sit on the empty chair until when another minister got up and said "I want to test her on her fighting skills Daebi-mama. She might be very intelligent but then I would like to see her fighting skills."

"Well then go ahead. With whom is she going to fight?" The queen asked. I felt my muscles tighten. It wasn't like I was not strong. I'm very strong but then I just didn't want to fight any women.

"She'll fight with me." The minister who wanted to test my fighting skills said, smirking. "Guards! Swords!" The queen shouted. The guards immediately brought two swords. They gave one to each. My hands were shivering while I was holding the sword. The minister held up her sword with her hands, ready to fight.

What am I going to do?
