The beat of the still heart[Completed]

12:The Lunch

Seated in an extravagant room with a gold and white victorian style interior and a long large table adorned with golden platters and candles to match the theme of the room, the Princes of Pyracea were waiting for the arrival of their guests.

"Do I need to be here?" Sehun grumbled earning a warning look from Jungkook.

"Of course Hyung, we need to know our future queen better and you need to apologize too" Beomgyu, second prince of Carabian nudged his elder brother who rolled his eyes not being able to digest the reality that a mortal had taken up the interest of his friend.

Hearing Beomgyu referring to Hana as their future queen, the curve on Jungkook's lips widened while Sehun groaned in dissatisfaction for being forced to apologize for something he didn't consider to be a mistake from his side.

In his opinion, the girl was supposed to be on her knees begging for her life as she had committed a felony against the Crown prince of Carabian.

"Give her some time Sehun, you didn't like lady light at first as well. But now she is the first person you run to whenever you have any trouble" Jimin casually pointed out how he was opposed to the current Lady Light when Regent of Emperor, Uchiha Taehyung married her while reading the news on his tablet.

"Don't compare that insolent child with our Lady light. Such an infuriating person with no manners...."

"Do you wish to die?" The gruff in Jungkook's voice made Sehun's voice get stuck in his throat and before he could even start coughing Jimin passed him a glass of juice.

All Sehun could do was snicker at his friend for acting like a fool. In his opinion, such a grand prince like his friend deserved no less than a goddess, not a Neander.

"Your highness" a servent interrupted them in the middle of their quibble to announce the arrival of their valuable guests.

"Lady Hana and Lady Hina have arrived"

The moment Hana's name was mentioned Jungkook stood up putting up with a big smile. Despite the hiking nervousness he succeeded to appear chic and relaxed. 

Their last conversation unfortunately had concluded with him getting all flustered therefore he wanted to re-establish himself as a confident prince rather than a timid guy who couldn't even respond to her in complete sentences.

"Sure but how about we have a first kiss before you leave?" he had asked her with a smug face.

At first, Hana's eyes had widened in shock. Maybe it took her a while to figure out that it was the ice creams he was talking about. One of the main reasons he had renamed the ice cream in Voclaunore at Sehun's request was so that Sehun could pick up on the girls using it; however, he had never imagined him utilizing the same trick.

"I prefer sex on the beach" Hana had countered with a straight face making him lose his balance in surprise as he was not expecting her to be so bold and the rest was history because after the reply he was unable to face her without his face turning red.

Uchiha Jeon Jungkook was indeed a fierce prince. Not afraid of anything, well aware of his influence and authority however for some unknown reasons all of his confidence, and arrogance would wash away in a blink whenever his eyes would meet hers. Her presence would easily overpower his aura and he would be the one wanting to kneel down in front of her instead.

As she entered the room the familiar feeling of turbulence flooded inside of him but somehow he managed to maintain his poise and full-heartedly welcome the girls.

For Sehun and Jimin the entire situation was almost hilarious and witnessing the sudden change in Jungkook's demeanor made it difficult for them to contain their laughter. The love he had for the girl was so visible that it was practically flooding out of his eyes whenever he gazed at her face.

"Good evening my highness... no your highness...our highness" Jassabella addressed them and her confusion earned light-hearted giggles from all the princes lightening up the mood a bit.

"Drop the formality, Hina, You can call us by our names" Jimin beamed hiding the fact that his heart was about to jump out of his chest having to see her again.

Jassabella was slightly shorter than Hana but had a paler complexion and light brown hair. While Hana was dressed in a plain light blue knee-length dress, Jassabella was wearing a sleeveless peach dress with matching accessories including a hair clip making their contradictory personality quite clear to onlookers.

Jungkook mentally thanked his brother for breaking the awkwardness floating in the air and proceeded to pull out the chair only for Hana.

His action again caused Jassabella to frown at him since this was the second time the prince had behaved like she didn't exist. It was as though he couldn't see anyone else besides Hana and before she would open her mouth to protest somebody else pulled out the chair for her.

"My lady, Jimin at your service" Jimin benevolently gestured to her to take her seat, and his action was appreciated by Jassabella who mirrored his smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I had begun to think I was invisible" Jimin was pleasantly surprised by her reply while the person to whom the satire was directed wasn't even listening as he was occupied gawking at his lady love gleaming like a Christmas tree.

"I am very delighted you decided to join us but before we start Sehun has something to say, right Sehun " Jungkook passed the limelight to Sehun.

"I am sorry I called you a whore without knowing you properly, I will decide that later '' Sehun kept it short and his words made Jungkook and Beomgyu choke on nothing while Jimin almost tittered for the second time.

Knowing how Sehun and Daniel worked, Jimin had comprehended that their lunch would be extremely entertaining but he had never guessed the girls to be equally dynamic and interesting. He could foresee how the lunch would eventually end so his anticipation was gradually increasing.

"How kind of you, your highness but I must say I really like your hobby. It is something I could never bring myself to do" Everyone's head now snapped towards Hana who was calm and composed as she used her scissors like a tongue to indirectly mock the prince's nature of judging people.

"I thought Prince Salvaster was joining us as well" sensing there was a war about to break out Beomgyu quickly intervened in an attempt to steer the conversation in another direction.

"Um he is a bit sick" Jassabella responded and even though everyone was well aware it wasn't the case they expressed their best wishes for his quick recovery.

"Awe it's sad, I was hoping we could clear our misunderstandings and start fresh but it seems like I will have to visit him personally for that purpose" Jungkook mentioned pretending to be disheartened when in reality he was smirking in satisfaction.

He already had planned on how he was going to deal with the prince who had dared to defy his order but for now, all he wanted to do was to focus on having a good time with Hana in order to gain her trust and affection.

"I am so glad that you care so much about my health your highness but nothing is going to make me miss the opportunity to seat beside you and enjoy the lunch"

Jungkook's happiness was short-lived when the deep husky voice reverberated through the room and to everyone's surprise, Daniel was standing at the door unannounced with a conceited simper plastered on his face ready to take on the crown prince of death valley in the battle of love.
