Here Jimin was again faking smile and forcing quick compliments about the glory of the palace and how it had been designed like a magnificent casket smothering the Alasgarian Prince snatching the little life left in him, where even if he screams at the top of his lungs scratching the walls caging him inside till his nails break like his heart, no one would come to rescue him blowing his soul back in his body making him visible to the world

the Dowager Queen offers Jimin touring the Stygian palace and the Prince doesn't bother to refuse the offer when the only thing he has on his to-do list is to shed tears while lying in his bed lonesome, thinking about the lover he left behind, Jimin was dazed by the astonishing beauty the palace held even with all the darkest shade it shines the brightest like every designer pour their heart into crafting it

everything about the palace was mesmerizing and pleasing to the eyes, violet mixed with gold brocade fabric curtains to velvet opulent couches, gold chandeliers lited with hundreds of gas lamps and Jimin wonders whoever lights them up daily would've had a hell of a time lightening them all and the ceilings and walls which had pictures crafted with gold and rare gems that tells the tales of the ancestors of the Stygian kingdom, maybe the story of Jimin's life will be written on these walls one day that no one could explain

and for the first time in days, Jimin stepped outside of the palace his eyes squinted as soon as the hot sun attacked him, never in his life had he felt grateful to the walls of the palace that protected him from the sun-blazing fire on him, the sweat tickles on his nape with the sunrise kissing his snowy skin beginning the ritual of turning him gold from silver

"The King should be the first one to show you his favorite place in the palace but I think he's too busy in the war training to spend more time with you, I hope you won't mind my majesty"

Mother Queen said glancing at Jimin from her shoulder, Jimin who was already melting under the hotness showed his exhausted smile while wiping his sweat from the back of his hand, he wasn't used to the hot weather as Alasgar barely had summer for two months and it wasn't anywhere close to the hotness of Stygian, the Queen chuckled briefly before signaling the maids to put some shadow above their heads and Lia quickly opened the red umbrella with an apologetic smile as Jimin shot her a deathly glare for doing it so late

"should've known your fragile beauty wouldn't last in the toughness of Stygian"

a bitter comment comes from the most expected person's mouth, Lilith, who was an uninvited guest on their journey, Jimin shrugged it off ignoring it like the mud on the ground dirtying his expensive heel boots, his ego and rank were too higher to argue with someone as mere as her and that's what always adds fuel in the fire of her rage making her blood boil from the carefree Prince who pays little to no attention on her every bitter word

it didn't take them long to come across the sight that Jimin wasn't expecting at all, his face lit up brighter than the sun above their heads with the sight of the military training grounds, the sound of swords meeting with each other echoes in his ears like a song he was dying to hear, the last time he visited a place like this was before he was labeled as the doll Omega who was as useful as the showpiece placed in the shelf

"you look more fond of this place than any other, you surely are King's mate, he was only three when we had to drag him out of here because he refused to leave"

Jimin didn't notice a smile blooming on his lips until Lilith scoffed and made him notice he was smiling because of the brute King at the notice, he quickly bites it back putting his lips in a thin steady line, Jimin wanders his gaze around, and he didn't intend to look like he is searching for something or someone but the group of Omegas around him giggles pointing at the unknown direction "the one your eyes are searching is there, my majesty" Lia said cupping her mouth with the heel of her palm
