PARCHED (Jikook FF)

06. Current Queen

Song: "Advice" by Taemin

"Night Wolves' leader Jeon Jungkook is here..."

"So what?", Lisa grunted. It was so stupid that she was called in the middle of her consummation of her wedding. And that too for a little issue like this. Hearing her reply, the courtiers gasped silently waiting for their Old King to speak.

"So what? Do you even understand the seriousness of the situation!?", The Old King gasped.

"He just has arrived. Maybe he is going to just pass by. And with my information, Busan has never engaged with him in any way. So maybe that's not even a big deal.", Lisa held her forehead and rubbed tired. She was already drunk a little and getting cockblocked on the very moment you were waiting for since ages was not really fun.

"That's the concern. We don't know why he decided showed up so suddenly. He has acquired the eastern forest for now.", Old King said. Lisa's breath was caught in her chest.

Some time ago Jimin had gone to the cave temple for prayer. And that path goes through the eastern path. He came back without any harm... That's good.

"And if he has any business with us, he will send us the message. If the issue is solved may I go? My Omega must be waiting for me. I still haven't conducted the mating ceremony.", Lisa tried to hurry. She wanted to know how Jimin came back without getting caught by Night Wolves.

"My lady, I think you should postpone the mating ceremony. You engaging in any other matter when Night Wolves leader himself is here, will be called disrespectful. And that would bring some conflict.", Jinyoung spoke up catching everyone's attention. All the courtiers silently nodded in agreement. It was obvious what fear Night Wolves possessed. They all were tensed and confused about the reason why Jeon Jungkook had arrived there. But they all knew just one thing.

Messing with him meant destruction.

"What? Now I can't even mate my Omega because of someone who is not even a royal, let alone a King. He is just an outsider. Why should I hold my schedule because of a rogue like him?", Lisa growled in frustration. She couldn't understand why everyone was so scared of that alpha. Of course, she had heard about him. But he was just a Alpha of a rogue pack. While they themselves were a strong Kingdom. They didn't need to fear anyone.

"My lady, you are underestimati-"

"My lady, Your Majesty, speaker from Night Wolves is here to have a talk.", Their head guard bowed deep a while panting a little as he stood in front of the court. Everyone fell silent. Lisa eyed her father before ordering.

"Escort them in."

Jimin stood in the balcony of Lisa's room.

Sorry, their room.

He was just seconds away from getting bashed for hiding his truth a few moments ago but somehow he was saved by his fate. But he knew that was not for long until Lisa returns to consummate their marriage.

He heaved a deep sigh while admiring the view in front of him. A garden covered with various plants and flowers. They glowered even in the moonlight so beautifully.

"Your grace?", Jimin turned around to see Beomgyu standing their with one more maid.

"Your highness won't be able to return for now. She said to give you the message. A sudden issue has surfaced. So the mating ceremony will be put on hold for now. We are sorry.", Beomgyu bowed apologetic. But he didn't know that Jimin actually heaved a sigh of relief listening to this.

Luna had listened to him. He was spared for few more time now...

But instead of showing the relief, Jimin composed himself. And spoke, "You don't need to be sorry Beomgyu. It's not your fault.", Beomgyu raised his head and give him a smile. Actually, Beomgyu himself was relieved that they couldn't consummate yet.

Maybe it was because of his stupid feelings for Lisa. But he knew it wasn't valid. SNow or sooner, they will get mated. He needs to come out of his fantasy.

"Do you wish to rest a bit? Or should we prepare for the morning your grace?", Beomgyu asked.

Oh, he forgot that it was almost morning. He didn't even know when this night passed. He still had few time before dawn to rest. But decided against it.

"Prepare for my bath. I will go to the temple for prayer.", Jimin said.

"Oh.. Actually, your grace, You are not allowed to go out. Especially that temple. Some outsiders have acquired the route to that cave. They are not a good news. That's why everyone's called to the courtroom to solve the issue I heard.", The other maid, Jisoo spoke like she was telling a secret.

Jimin was silent. He doesn't know why but he suddenly remembered Namjoon who had told him to take another route last night.

Did he perhaps knew?

"Welcome to Busan's court. We didn't know you were arriving, otherwise we would've done some preparations.", Jinyoung welcomed the female Alpha who stood tall and confident even in the Busan's royal court which was said to be one of the strongest kingdoms.

She had black baggy pants and similar shirt with the leather boots and cummerbund. Even in the common outfit she looked very attractive and confident. She gave a curt bow to the Old King, to whom it seemed disrespectful but decided to not speak about it. And Lisa was fuming inside since she didn't bowed in front of her.

'Doesn't she know that I'm the current Queen and ruler of Busan?', Lisa thought.

"I give my greetings to the former King of Busan. Have heard of you a lot. I am the speaker and adviser of Night Wolves, Alpha Hwasa.", Hwasa said with tight lipped smile and Lisa huffed. Hwasa still hadn't acknowledged her knowingly. Her patience was over.

"Do you not know manners lowly Alpha? How dare you disrespect me, the current Queen of Busan!! And you dare stand here without giving the Queen respects. It won't take me more than few minutes to banish you and your rogue leader from Busan.", She growled. Hwasa just let out lowly chuckle which seemed to confuse everyone.

"Your highness, It's still your first day as the Queen ruler of Busan. You still haven't seen a day in your ruling. You start with respecting people first. For my part, we are rogues. We do not have rules. You should be careful, because you need head first to hold the crown on which you are demanding the respect...."
