The next morning comes in a blink of an eye and the knocks on the door echo like they were dying from a dearth of hydration and the sun shining in the sky signals them to drink from the wed-locked couple's well, Jimin squints his eyes stretching out his sore muscle slapping the hard mattress underneath him for giving him a rough time sleeping after the tiring day, his new bed wasn't oh-so-soft like it used to be at home and then with the darkness of the room comes making him realized he isn't home
with panic rising in his throat he wide opened his eyes staring beside him in search of someone he was somehow connected to now, but to his relief, the other wasn't there to ruin the morning, with a groan he stood up to splash the water down the throat of the droughts, and before opening the door he adjusts his hair and face, he had changed into a comfortable nightgown which he quickly tied from the front bowing down to the Stygian Queen
she bowed back to him "good morning, my majesty" Jimin gulped down it was weird hearing the honorifics coming from the mouth of someone who was so much older than him "you don't have to add honorifics, her majesty" Jimin adds before clearing his throat making the old woman chuckle "you are the Queen now, you are higher in rank and it's my honor to call you that" she smiled pleasantly, Jimin frowned learning the odd tradition of Stygian kingdom, the Queen changes here before the death of the previous one and he wonders if it's the same with Kings
"The Queen changes with a new King here only if the King is already married, their mate becomes the new Queen, and if they aren't married or doesn't have any mate then the old Queen remains in their position till the king gets married and now you are the King's mate, and the Queen of Stygian" the former Queen explains seeing the puzzle on Jimin's face, and hearing himself being someone else' mate which is not the one his heart chooses was venom to his ears, as the words from his supposed mate echoes in his head making his skin crawl
'Because you are my mate'
"your highness, let's do what we were here for"
the honey-sweet voice interrupted the train of Jimin's thoughts, he glanced at the girl wearing a full black sparkling dress, and the color of her dress was a highlight to his mind who knew the black color is only for mourning in the royal families he scans her from head to toe as she was standing beside the former Queen who was wearing a gold silk gown, she didn't care to introduce herself and Jimin realize she didn't even greet him in the first place, it was a huge offense to his egoistic pride
she quickly went towards the bed giving a look to Jimin which he didn't find so welcoming, looks like he ain't the only one not so pleased by his arrival in the Stygian palace, Jimin watches as her adam apple bobbed down and her expression went dark with her face going pale like all the blood from her body drained to the stained sheets instead which she was glaring at with rageful eyes
he could sense her releasing the rage-full pheromones around her, being the special Omega gives Jimin a lot of beneficial abilities, he could scent other Omega's pheromones too, it doesn't bother him but he can sense what the other Omega is feeling, and well she doesn't feel very glee after seeing that interesting Jimin thinks to himself with a mischievous grin dancing on his break like lips
he rubbed his cheeks harshly with the palm of his hand turning them into bright pink color as he walks towards the pair of Omegas who were busy receiving the proof of his innocence as he shyly fidget with the pearl-colored fabric of his silk robe, "your highness, can you ask someone to change the sheets, its weird to sleep on the dirty one" he lowly said wearing a bashful smile that makes the girl in black gown clenched her sharp jaw
"and please tell them to put an extra one, so I could change it afterward"
he glances up at the girl with his shy puppy eyes patting his long lashes she rolled her eyes slightly that it was not even noticeable but the mischievous Alasgar Prince was too quick to notice, "I'm sorry for asking you this but Taehyung--" he glanced at her again and then acts to correct himself with a bit of his lower lip "I mean the King said I can tell you anything" Jimin was having so much fun giving off the show to the girl who was more than unhappy by whatever Jimin was doing, at least he finds something exciting in this cursed palace, and never in his life he unwelcomed the fun of teasing someone
