She looks down at the silver blade of the sword before shooting her eyes to look at him.

The light in his eyes is gone and is taken over by darkness. He looks at her emotionless.

"Nevermind, this man ugly as ever," Tiana thought when his demeanor changed.

"Leave with the tea or else you'll be the first female to join my collection of heads," he says.

Being beheaded doesn't sound like the way she'd like to die, but she can't help but push his buttons since he's been tormenting her for the past couple of weeks.

"Like I was saying, your Majesty," Tiana says. "I was demanded-"

The king removes his sword from her neck and pulls it back before swinging at her. Tiana closes her eyes and screams, dropping the tray as she gets ready for the excruciating pain. 

The pain she expected never comes and the sound of crashing dishes doesn't come either. She slowly opens her eyes and gasps at the close proximity she is with the king. He is so close to her that she doesn't realize that the sword is now centimeters away from the back of her neck in his right hand and the tray has been caught in his left hand.

Despite how dark his eyes have gotten, she can see the sadness in them. At the moment, she can no longer fear him but pity him. She only knows that the king lost his mother and based on how Agust D described the incident, it seemed to be a traumatic one.

Tiana opens her mouth carefully to make sure she doesn't move in too much and have her lips meet his.

"I think you should drink the tea...to calm yourself down," Tiana says. 

The king removes the sword from behind Tiana and puts it at his side.

He observes Tiana's face. He does agree with Agust that she doesn't look as bright as she did when he first laid eyes upon her. She's still beautiful but looks like she's lost her sparkle and he can blame nobody for that but himself.

"You smell," the king mutters.

He leans back and takes a step away from her.

Tiana glares at the king and puts her hands on her hips.

"That's your fault," she says. "If you weren't so focused on putting me in my place, maybe you would have realized how bad I stink!"

Yoongi scrunches his nose at her before bringing his fist up to his nose. The flat side of the blade faces Tiana, showing Tiana her reflection.

 "If I can smell how bad I smell, that's a problem," she says.

She glares at the king and he looks back at her with dark eyes.

"Tell Namjoon that I said you need a bath. Now leave," he says.

"You need to tell him 'cause he's not going to believe me," she responds.

Yoongi pinches the bridge of his nose.

He only can stand her presence for like five minutes but it's been past that and he wants to be alone with his sword and now the tray of tea.

"Leave," Yoongi says.

Tiana opens her mouth to say something again, but she sees the dark aura that swarmed him the first time she met him.

She turns around and leaves the throne room.

Namjoon stands behind the entrance doors of the throne room and asks Tiana how it went.

"He threatened me while placing his sword on my throat and said I stink," Tiana responds.

Namjoon's eyes light up.
