Mentions of anxiety and blood in this chapter

I take this book in my hands as I brush off the dust and cobwebs that have gathered on it for what seems like a decade or so. The book was linked in gold and silver and adorned with five precious jewels, a sapphire, a ruby, an emerald, an amethyst, and a citrine.

The beauty of this hidden object almost made me overlook the title. I dust away a bit more to make out the writing and my heart stopped once I read it.

''History of the Royal Marriage Ceremony''

My brows furrow and my eyes widen as I stare at the book, I've been here for about two and a half weeks now, if not a month, and not even once have I been told anything, other than the fact I have to marry them, the whole time I've been here!

I remember even asking Namjoon about it and he seemed to have no idea why this was tradition but he was happy to go along with it. If this is such a big grand thing, then why did the princes not get proper education on this subject, and more importantly why was it okay for this to be forced upon me, and why is it not important for me to know about these details as well?

When it comes to marrying them, realistically I don't have many options. Option one, try to escape and possibly get brought back or have my kingdom go to war, putting everyone at risk and making everything worse.

Option two become so unlikeable that they change their minds, I'm currently working on that strategy, I just need to find the right moment to become the biggest brat they've ever met.

Or option three...I suck it up except my fate and marry them...

Looks like option two is my best bet, however, this book could possibly save my hide!

Maybe I could find a loophole in the law, or whatever it is, and go back home!

I graze my fingers across the book as dust flies through the air, then suddenly a thought crosses my mind.

Who hid this?

Why did they hide this?

Do the princes even know about this?

And if so why was I know informed of any of this?

So secretive...

Someone obviously put this here to keep it from being seen, and from the looks of all the dust its been here for a while too...

Before I could grab the book, I heard the door open, so in a panic, I quickly move and push the other book back into the slot causing the shelf to return to its place, hiding the secret object once again.

My feet then move away from the spot not to draw attention to it, as I turn a corner I ran into a hard chest. I hesitantly look up to see the one and only Jungkook.

And he did not look happy.

Before I could open my mouth to speak he grips my wrist and starts dragging me further into the library

" H-Hey!" I protest, however he says nothing

He then pushes me into a small closet as he steps in after me.
