Junkyu watched as Mashiho left the room not speaking to him, Eversince the kissing incident, they really haven't spoken to each other

Junkyu thinks that Mashiho hates him because of the kiss and he's really troubled and worried because of his thought

But the fact is that Mashiho has been avoiding him because whenever he sees Junkyu's face, he remembers the kiss and instantly blushes

He hates how his body heats up when he remembers the kiss, he hates being so weak and vulnerable, he wants to be strong and invincible but just a kiss made his knees weak

Junkyu decided to clear his mind and go to the Palace Assembly

Mashiho and Asahi were walking through the corridors but they stopped when two maids ran to them and bowed

"The Queen wishes to see you Your Majesty" They said and Mashiho groaned

"Tell her I'm–

"Sorry Your Majesty, She says she can't have no for an answer because her friends from the West and East have come to see you too" The maid said

Mashiho really didn't want to go, he knew the Queen would keep him there, lecturing him on how to be a good Empress

"It's important this time Mashi, you must go" Asahi whispered to Mashiho

Mashiho groaned again and cussed internally, he just wanted to enjoy being the Empress for once

"Fine let's go" Mashiho said wavering his hand

The maid knocked on the Queen's door and received a 'come in'

Mashiho groaned one last time before sliding the door open, Asahi was made to wait outside

"Greetings Your Majesty" Mashiho said bowing down. The Queen scanned Mashiho and immediately made him to rest

"Oh Dohee, Your son-in-law is very good looking" The Queen of the east said when she saw Mashiho's face

"Oh yes, he sure is" The Queen said faking a smile as she turned to face Mashiho

"Sit down" She commanded and Mashiho sat facing the three

"What is your name dear?" The Queen of the west asked, Mashiho softly sighed and faked a smile

"Mashiho" He said still looking down

"What a lovely name" She said and the Queen of the East nodded too smiling

"For you to be the Empress, I'm sure you have outstanding skills, tell me, which are you great in?" The Queen of the East asked

"Is that important now?" The Queen asked trying to avoid the question for Mashiho because if Mashiho messes up, it would be a mockery to her

"Come on Dohee, We're just trying to know him more, right Taeyong?" She asked the Queen of the West while she replied with 'Of course'

"Go on tell us" She said looking at Mashiho

"I am an expert swordsman, I'm good in making weapons too, I'm not an amateur coming Jujitsu..er..I'm not sure if this counts but..I can hold my breath underwater for approximately Ten minutes, I can also–

"-Ahaha" The two Queens laughed cutting Mashiho off "Dohee, He's really good at joking"

The Queen looked at Mashiho in embarrassment and Anger

"Yes Yes, He was joking. Mashiho, How about you speak seriously now?" The Queen said to Mashiho forcing a smile

Mashiho was confused at that point. Joking? Do they think acquiring all those skills are easy?

"Haha I don't understand why you thought what I said was a joke?" Mashiho asked laughing confusedly with the Queens

"Oh dear, you do have a scroll of expertise in Embroidery right?" Queen Taeyong asked

"Uh no" Mashiho flatly answered making the Queens shocked

"Er..well then you must have a scroll for Literary work right?" Mashiho shooked his head in answer

"I'm sure you have graduated first in Home of Etiquette and Courtesy"

"Eti..Etiquette? What's that?" Mashiho cluelessly asked making the Queens stifle their laughter

"Dohee, seems like you've got yourself an empty drum" Queen of the West said

The Queen was furious at the moment, she couldn't reply as she was highly embarrassed

"He's only a charmer I see, Oh poor Dohee, I feel for you" Queen Taeyong mocked smiling

"Useless He is, Tsk Tsk Tsk I've never witnessed this before, an illiterate as the Empress, Wonders"

Mashiho was hurt but was angry at the same time

"I'm not useless, I already told you the amazing skills I have" Mashiho said with his brows furrowed

"Okay Okay, Let's say your 'Skills' really are useful, Who are your Parents?" One of them asked

"Are you a First class? How many towns does your father govern?"

"My parents are dead" Mashiho blurted our making them gasped and immediately look at the Queen

"What have you done Dohee? How did you let Junkyu pick a peasant to be the Empress?"

The other Queen shook her in his pity for Dohee

The Queen was biting her tongue in anger, she dropped her cup and looked at Mashiho
"You may take your leave"

Mashiho stood up and bowed, he saw the faces of the Queens, looking at him with disgust

He mentally rolled his eyes and turned and opened the door

Asahi immediately questioned Mashiho once he got out "Huh I thought they were nice at first, but they are quite Queens to be ill of" Mashiho said

"What exactly happened, tell me" Asahi asked Mashiho who was frowning

"I exactly can't tell you what they said but right now, I feel utterly insulted and humiliated to be me" Mashiho said and smiled at Asahi

Mashiho's mood was down, he wasn't the cause of his parents death was he? It was their people, the northerners that killed his parents

"You dare make mockery of me because of my misfortune, just you wait, I'll show you all" Mashiho gritted through his teeth
