Jimin's pov

"Thank you." I said, and bowed to the elderly shopkeeper, after paying her the money.

"Son, are you a prince of some reign? Because I have never seen a person as beautiful as you here." She said, which made me stare at her with wide eyes.

"N-no halmoni(grandmother), I am not a prince of anywhere. I am just a mere servant, who is working in the royal palace for the new queen. I am his personal caretaker." I said, with a soft smile on my face.

"Oh my Lord?! Are saying the truth? Now I understood that why I am seeing you for the first time, as you are new here. You know, the rumors of your highness's beauty, and his personal servant, are spread all over Ethiopia. And now, as I have seen you, I believe that those rumors are complete truth." She said, making me shy at her words now.

"T-thank you halmoni. Give me the permission to leave now. I have to reach palace, as I cannot stay far from your highness for too long." I said, and bowed to her in respect.

"Wait, son! I have something for you and your highness." She said, and immediately rushed inside of her small home.

After few moments, she came back, with something in her hand.

"Here, take this son." She said, and handed me something, which is wrapped in a red cloth.

I frowned, and untied it's knot, to look what it is.

A small smile formed on my lips, when I found two small statues, of Lord Buddha, wrapped inside it.

"These are the sculptures, which are having blessings of Lord Buddha, my son. Keep one to yourself, and give other to your highness. It will bring a lot of happiness to yours and your highness's life, and Lord Buddha will always protect you two, and your husbands, from all the perils." She said, and I stared at her with a warm smile on my face.

"I will surely give it to the queen, halmoni. Thank you for this. Now, I am leaving. I will again come to meet you soon." I said, and after bowing to her, I left that place.

I kept that small red bag in my little pouch, and started to walk towards the palace again.

The streets, are filled with people, small markets, and the voices of the shopkeepers and the customers. I can also see a unique thing here, the sewage system. It is the first time I am seeing something like this. Does not matter that how rushed these roads of Ethiopia are, but the cleanliness here, is well maintained. I have to accept that your majesty knows how to rule, and control his public.

My smile slowly dropped, when your majesty came in my mind. He indeed can be a good king for his reign, but he failed to be a good husband for his wife. Yesterday night, he claimed taehyung with force, and without his permission. He do not know that what could have happened, if taehyung did not stayed strong yesterday night.

I sighed, as I continued to walk on my path. Stay strong tae. Stay strong, for yourself, for your reign, and for a better future.

My steps came to halt, and a slight frown formed on my face, when I noticed a path, which is leading to the main forest of ethiopia. I heard about this forest from other servants in palace. It is vast, and is a home of many medicinal herbs.

"I think, I should look for some medicinal herbs for tae." Mumbling to myself, I started to walk towards it.

After waking for few moments, I smiled widely, when my eyes landed on a very rare herb, which is used to ease any kind of pain of the body.

I collected them in my small pouch, and decided to go more deep inside of this forest. Now, I am feeling grateful that I decided to come here. It is, my kind of place.
