"Rest assured, Your Majesty, this time we will certainly find a way-" the said male stopped, on getting one signal from the royal seated on his grand throne, before him.

"May i remind you Sir Thomas, this is the same sentences i have been told since the very arisement of the issue. It's about time, something is actually done without repeating the same dialogues infront of me. Dont you think so?"

"Th-this time we really have a-"

Yet again he was stopped.

"I think i told you not to" the King retorted.

"Y-yes right, my humble apologies Your Majesty." Thomas, the governor general of the kingdom of Seoul, and a very trusted companion of the King replied, with a deep bow.

The King with a deep and heavy sigh nodded, and motioned for the general to exit.

Sir Thomas: "Your Majesty you still have a few more hearings."

The King: "I will be attending to them in awhile. Please ask them to make themselves comfortable in the waiting room, and ask the servants to look to their basic needs."

Sir Thomas nodded and bowed again, and was about to exit the hall when he was called back by the King.

The King: "On your way could you please stop by the Princess and drop her a message to come visit me in my garden"

Sir Thomas: "Yes ofcourse Your Majesty."

And with that said, Thomas exits the Royal Main hall. The King stands up from the throne, strips from his thick cloak, and hands it to one of the servants with a small smile. He then stretched his arms back and forth for a bit, and started heading towards his garden.

Two knocks on the door echoed through the princess' room, hence a reply 'come in' came.

On seeing it was Sir Thomas, the princess swiftly placed the book she seemed to be reading beside her, and went forward to him with a smile.

The Princess: How may i help you, Sir?

Sir Thomas: The King has requested for you in his garden, your highness.

On the said male's mention the princess' mood visibly brightens. She goes to her closet, bringing a thin cloak and wrapping it around herself. With a smile she said, "Thank you for the message, i hope you can rest now?"

To which Thomas replied with a slight chuckle, head still lowered a bit, "I am the general of the country, resting isn't for us. I'll take my leave now, Your Highness" and with a bow he exits the Princess' room while she sets on her way to the King's garden with a bright lovely smile plastered on her face.

On her way there she asks for a small basket to her maid, in hopes of finding any fruit or any flowers scattered around the garden floor, that she could collect.

"Mmh you're here already."

On shifting his head to locate the source of the voice, the King finds the Princess, coming through the metal garden doors with a basket in her left hand, looking beautiful as always.

"Yeah, i really needed a break." The King replied, looking away from the Princess.

"I know, i keep telling you to rest but my words dont even matter do they" the royal female said while taking a seat beside the King on the ground and relaxing her muscles while leaning against the dark-brown shaded tree trunk they took shade under.

The King: "I am the King, i cannot waste my time on resting"

The Princess rolled her eyes and said, "The last time i checked a King was a human and i thought humans needed rest."

"You won't understand" The King yawned, and went closer to the princess, laid his head on her lap, closed his eyes, held her waist with his arms, and hummed in content.

"Actually, i understand better than you ever will" the princess replied, running her hands through the King's hair.

There was a few minutes of comfortable silence. The King was relaxing peacefully in the other's arms. While the Princess held him close, securely. After working the whole day yesterday without the king bating a single eyelash, both knew the King needed this, the warmth and the peacefulness. His happy pill.

"It's hard. I dont think i'm doing any good" the king whisper-mumbled, snuggling closer to the princess.

"You know none of that is true" the princess replied, her hands still running through the other's hair. Making braids, undoing them, messing his hair up, while the King enjoyed every moment of it.

"It is-" the King was cut off by the Princess. "Sleep. You need rest." And before he knew it he felt a soft gentle kiss being placed on his forehead, and he decided to sleep peacefully without any worries about anything else at the moment. Just holding the other tight.

Hope the chapter was alright. I have a lot planned for this book, and i hope i wont dissapoint.

Next coming up will be the character introductions of the book. I decided to keep the character introduction after the first chapter, so that readers are somewhat familiar with the main character.
