Yoongi enters his bed-chamber after soaking in a warm rose petal bath. It was well needed since he's been having back-to-back meetings with the higher officials about trading and making alliances with different regions all day long. 

Yoongi was so tired that he fell asleep in his bath. He would have still been asleep in his bath if it weren't for Namjoon, who had woken the young king up. It's rare for him to fall asleep while bathing due to his paranoia. The room is pitch black due to the sun having been set and the curtains having been pulled shut. He drags his feet to where the candles are in the corner of the chamber to light the candles up. The small flames in the corners cause the space to have a yellow-orange glow to it. 

He spots trays of food at the foot of Tiana's room. The king trudges over to the meals and bends down to check them out. He shuts his eyes as he takes a deep breath in to control himself at the fact that the food is cold.

He gets back up to his feet and calls one of the guards over from behind the door.

"Get me one of the maidservants that have been serving Tiana," the king says in a low voice.

The guard bows his head at the king and leaves to retrieve a maidservant.

In five minutes a petite woman walks in. The woman has on a royal blue hanbok skirt with a light green hanbok top. The sleeves and the collar of the hanbok are brown.

She bows at the king.

"Can you explain to me why there are three trays of food that have been untouched in front of Tiana's room?" The king asks with menace in his voice.

The maidservant tries to not cower away at the tone of the king's voice.

"No, your Highness, but I believe that she hasn't been eating it. I assumed she was sleeping since she hasn't been feeling well. So I wasn't concerned about her answering when I let her know that I had her food," the maidservant responds.

Her hands slightly shake in front of her.

The king breathes in as he closes his eyes.

The maidservant takes a step back away from the king.

"You may be dismissed," the king says.

The maidservant gives the king a 90-degree bow before scurrying away like a cartoon character.

After the maidservant leaves the bed-chamber, the king gets close to Tiana's room again and begins to speak.

"Tiana, I'm coming in, so if you are not straight, you have five seconds to look presentable," the king says.

He counts to five before putting his right hand on the door handle to slide it open. However, the door doesn't budge. The king attempts again and is met with the same results.

The king laughs to himself at the scenario. 

King Yoongi heads over to his sword display and takes one of them in his right hand. He walks back to Tiana's door and begins slashing at the sliding door like a madman. The sword cuts through the paper-like material of the door before giving the door frame several kicks.

Tiana wakes up to the noise and sees the sword cut through the door like a lion's claws. She stands up and presses her back against the wall, trying to create as much space as possible between her and the mad man in front of her.

She watches as he kicks behind the part of the door where she tied her braid around with so much force that she thinks he's going to snap his leg in half.

The king enters the room through the hole he cut out with his sword.

He wears a stoic expression on his face as he looks into Tiana's cautious and scared eyes.
