The trio with all their grace stood at the centre of the massive dining hall. They just reached inside, nearly 20 kingdoms have arrived at this lunch, out of which 17 kingdoms were subordinate to Alsace. No wonder Yn held the most power in the entire hall.
"Rwang spends a lot of their money on their palace" Jimin commented, judging every inch of the hall that radiated luxury.
" Get an account of how the money is spent from their commerce minister, I've heard that taxes have increased. Make sure to analyse any information that they can use to torture citizens"
Yn whispered in Jimin's ear as he nodded."Queen Yn, it's a pleasure to meet you" a man in his early 30s spoke.
"The pleasure is all mine, King Song-hyun" Yn replied and continued " I hope the kingdom is recovering well after the drought"" Yes, by the mercy of God, the rain poured before our treasury for food ended" he replied smiling. " I wonder, if you don't have a partner for tonight, I may accompany you wholeheartedly " he added.
However, Yn knew this was coming. Afterall everyone would want to be either in her good sight or would try to please her with all they could. Politics and relations were a contrasting match, built only for benefits. She sighed and wrapped her hands around Jungkook's arm and continued with a huge sarcastic grin on her face "I'm really sorry, but Dad had asked me to bring General Shim as my date"
Jungkook's breath hitched as he heard the words, he widened his eyes and looked at her. Though Yn didn't even spare him a glance.
"Oh, that's great. I would have to find another partner for me then." Song-hyun said and left passing a very obvious fake smile."What was that?" Jungkook whisper yelled.
"What? Don't you wanna be my date Mr. Kim?" She alleged him in an offended tone." When did His highness advised you to bring me as your date?" He questioned while Yn laughed along with Jimin.
"Don't worry Jagiya, my dad loves you a lot. He won't mind " She said and high-fived Jimin.
" Don't team up against me" Jungkook whined.
" We are teaming up for you" Jimin said over exaggerating the word 'for'.An announcement was made for the arrival of the royal family of Rwang. All of the gazes shifted towards the entrance and Yn smiled widely and straightened her posture.
Byung-ho, Su-jin and a Korean couple along with an old man with a thick white beard entered the hall. Yn was the first one to approach the royal family that was conducted by the old man. Even though he was in his late 60s, his muscular body and tall figure contrasted with his age. He looked much younger than his age.
Yn stood in front of him and bowed down 90° to show her respect, whereas everyone present there gasped at her action.
" A Queen doesn't bow down in front of anyone" The old man said in his horse yet calm voice as a smile plastered over both of their faces.
"But a student always bows down in front of their teacher, because even if god and teacher both are present at a place, the first bow belongs to the teacher, for the teacher is the one who shows the correct path towards God. "
She said with confidence dripping from her demeanor.
"You still remember my teachings" Chinhae, Yn's teacher, smiled proudly, patting her shoulders. "How can I ever forget them, Seonsaengnim "
