MY KNIGHT

9. ESCORT

Yoongi's POV:

I saw her heading inside the palace. I didn't had any intentions but still I turned to see her one more time.

"Is she really that upset? Why do I feel bad for her?"

As I saw her disappear, I dragged my feet all the way home. For some unknown reason this woman has affected me so much.

I was alarmed as I noticed someone's silhouette against the wall of the living room, as my neighbour told me that Eomma and Yoon Wu headed towards the market.

Its only when I reached inside that I noticed her sitting in the living area. Without even a thought I placed my sword on her shoulder. After that, everything that happened was a big chaos.

But that was the first time I saw her. Her big doe eyes that shined the colour of brown and golden in the sunlight. The wave of her hairs, settled down her shoulders like dripping honey. Her lips reminded me of cherry blossoms. She was so beautiful for me to get my eyes off her.

Yet she was mad as a March hare. I could never imagine a girl standing undaunted infront of my sword bold enough to bawl at me. But for some reason I didn't felt exasperated.

She is one of a kind. I could feel my heart flutter when she was in my arms and her eyes didn't show a hint of terror from me.
She must be a complete clown but I saw how grave her eyes were, when she told about the world she live in. It felt like I had a pit inside my stomach, I felt bad for her, I wanted to comfort her but it seemed like my hand could never cover the distance that was between us. An invisible screen that bounded me to be silent.

I don't know why am I so bothered, but I think this woman is bad news. She'll drive me crazy if I stayed with her. I'd better not see her again.

JiAh woke up between the sounds of the chirping birds and playing children. She got off her bed as she went towards the window to see what was going on outside. Everything seemed so cheerful and happy that her mood was automatically lifted up. She could see the market place from her window which she didn't noticed last day.

A lady came inside the room, whom she presumed to be a worker by the plain and simple dress she wore. She bowed to JiAh which she returned with a smile. "Your Majesty asked me to take you for the breakfast." She spoke softly.

JiAh slipped into a pink laced dress that was in the cupboard among the many dresses that were kept inside neatly. All of them outstanding the other.

She reached the dining hall to be met by the same smile filled with sunshine. "Good morning Your Highness!", she greeted with a bow.

"Good morning Miss JiAh. I hope you spent the day well in our kingdom. Please make yourself comfortable here." He beamed towards her.

JiAh noticed another man who sat beside King Hoseok. "Let me introduce you to him." Hoseok said gaining her attention, "He is Kim Nam Joon. Our chief advisor. He is the wisest man in the whole kingdom" JiAh looked at the handsome man having masculine features. His almond shaped eyes looked at her direction while his plump lips curved into a smile. But the most prominent of his features were his dimples that pierced his cheeks when he smiled while greeting her. She too returned the smile gazing in his direction.

"Its a pleasure to finally meet you My Lady." He took her hand  gently planting a peck the dorsum of her hand making her cheeks turn red.

"Pleasure is all mine."

They were almost finished with the breakfast when JiAh heard footsteps approaching their direction. She turned to look at the familiar face.

"Yoongi-ah! I was waiting for you. Come join us." Hoseok greeted the latter while Yoongi just maintained a straight face.
