EIGHT

Author's POV

"You are doing what?! Are you out of your  mind?!" The queen threw the pillow towards his direction in disbelief when she heard her husband's ridiculous idea. 

"I know what you're thinking but this is a great way for me, for us to ensure we find a suitable partner for our son" he coaxed his wife.

"I know but, I feel like we are depriving him from his own free will" she sighed rubbing her temples and slumped on the mattress. 

"Don't worry I will make sure to find the best of the best for our son, since I have exceptional taste" he smirked lying besides his wife.

"Exceptional taste, you would have threw a tantrum and declared war if I didn't said yes stupid" She rolled her eyes mocking him.

"Whatever, let us rest for we have a tiring journey ahead." he scoffed and embraced his wife.

LISA'S POV

Months have passed since school started and I can't believe it's already Midterms, In those months I have made lots of friends Princess Jennie and Jisoo is considered a lot right? shucks I'm not good at socializing, I mean I am but I feel like we have formed a stronger bond, we would always hang out in and out of school and she is really nice compared to what the rumors say. Anyways back to present.

It' s a chilly afternoon, I tighten the coat around me to avoid getting a cold because the last thing I want during the test tomorrow  is getting sick and flunking the first semester. As I waited for a cab home, since I didn't get my license yet and Ro had some errands to do, I noticed a frail old man, I felt sad for him cause my heart is too soft for the elderly and walked near him and asked if he was hungry which he responded with a eager nod. I immediately ask if he could him to wait for me. I quickly ran to the university cafeteria praying they still have some snacks left, and thank goodness they still have. I purchased a footlong and grape juice and swiftly  but carefully brought it back to the old man.

When he was happily munching his footlong I noticed something quite familiar with him, lost in my thoughts the old man suddenly tug the hem of my coat and said his thanks, giving him a soft smile I walked towards the taxi which I didn't notice already arrived I waved goodbye and the taxi drove towards my home.

The couple of days later was full of exams and today was finally the end of it, I stretched my hands up the air and gave a big yawn, it almost dark and I was all alone because I asked my friends and sister to go ahead because I stayed back and helped the school paper committee. When suddenly someone cleared their throat my head snapped to their direction there stood a man who looked somewhat a bodyguard because of the earpiece. "Ma'am please follow me" shocked, I asked why and he just was silent and repeated what he said. "I won't be coming with you if you don't tell me" I crossed my arms.

 "It's a direct order from the King". "Oh okay" I said and walked with him when "THE KING?!" I looked at him in shock, "What did I do? why would the king ask for me? I'm a nobody." I kept rambling but the man cut me off saying everything will be explained once I arrived at the palace. As I followed him to the insanely regal limousine and it was clear that I was nervous as heck and the bodyguard was kind enough to calm me down and gave sweets to "relax". Minutes later the palace exterior was in front of me and I was immediately escorted what seems to be a sitting room because of the number of sofa's present, this was my first time entering the palace because I had no reason to enter in the past.

While I was fidgeting in my seat the door suddenly burst opened and His Highness and Her Majesty entered which made me stood up and bowed 90degrees, after bowing someone suddenly poured us some tea and Her Majesty ushered me to sit. After some time of drinking tea to calm my nerves, I finally broke the ice because it was too awkward for me to sit there and drink tea while they were staring deeply at me. "Excuse me Your Highness, Your Majesty but I wasn't asked to come here just to drink tea right?" I asked nervously and His Highness suddenly chuckled and said "You're quick to catch on dear". Now that I have a clear view of his face I gasped "You were the old man from last week?" He softly smiled and said "It's been a while dear". Cheese balls! I just met the king! without realizing it, damn this feels like a scene in a movie or something. Why on earth was The King dressed up as a beggar last week? no wonder his face was familiar.

What, Why, How

Were few of the questions I want to ask, just as I was about to speak "I know it must be shocking for you dear, and it is important that you listen tentatively to what we're about to say" The King said sternly.

I inhaled and sat properly to what the King is about to say.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush" He stated, after a moment of complete silence.

"We want you to Marry our son, Prince Jeon Jungkook of South Korea"
