The Queen and her National Treasure

Chapter 15

Third person's POV

On the other hand, at Consort Sana's palace, ever since the Consort can see that the Vice Chief of royal guards Dahyun has feelings for her, she has decided to use it to her own advantage, as she knows Dahyun is The Queen's best friend. Every time she sees Dahyun patrolling around her palace, she would try to invite the Vice Chief inside for a cup of tea. Dahyun refused once, then twice, but because of her already fallen heart for the beautiful Consort, she finally agreed to come inside for a break from her work,

The two naturally get to spend lots of time together. After many conversations with each other, Sana got to know more about Dahyun and how sweet and caring her personality is. And the same for the Vice Chief, she totally can see inside the bright and bubbly exterior of the Consort, is a strong, competitive, wanting to win against everyone and everything. Dahyun can tell that Sana is the type of woman who would pursue to the very end for what she wants, no matter if it's right or wrong,

'Vice Chief, does... does Her Majesty even miss me at all? Does she mention about me in any of the conversations with you?' Sana asks Dahyun, she has become very comfortable with the Vice Chief to talk about her own feelings now,

Dahyun tries very hard to not show her sad face, because she can see that the Consort's heart belongs to the Queen, and the fact that she can't do anything to win that heart, 'I'm sure Her Majesty misses you too, so Consort Sana, please don't be sad.' She tries to soothe her,

But Sana just heaves a sad sigh, 'I don't think so. Because if Her Majesty misses me, she would come here to see me. I think she hasn't forgiven me for... what I did.'

'Maybe because she's too busy preparing for the royal hunting trip, that's why she doesn't have time to come here.' Dahyun reasons, she doesn't want to see Sana being sad,

'Oh that's right, Vice Chief, you will be going on the hunting trip with Her Majesty, won't you?' Sana asks,

Dahyun nods her head,

'You will be with Her Majesty all the time, can you... can you put some good words about me to Her Majesty? Can you tell her that I'm... regretting what I did, and that...I'm reflecting on myself everyday?' The Consort knows that Dahyun's close relationship with the Queen will give her the advantage,

Only God knows how much Dahyun wants to hug Sana in her arms so tight to soothe her because she can hear the desperation in the Consort's voice. But in reality, all the Vice Chief can do is having a sad smile on her face, 'Of course Consort Sana, I will let Her Majesty know all of those.' She promised.

Sana has the brightest smile on her face after Dahyun's promise. Seeing that smile, the Vice Chief knows that she's doing the right thing for the girl she loves, which is continuing to bury her own feelings and trying her best to help the Consort to win back The Queen's affection.

Two days later, the royal hunting trip is officially on. Normally, everyone who is involved would just ride their horses, but now, because there are twenty maids coming as well, who don't know how to ride horses, so the Queen allowed them to be on carriages. There are a total of 5 carriages all together, 1 for food, clothes and other necessary items, 3 for the 19 maids, and lastly, the one special maid is riding on one carriage with the Queen herself,

Mina just can't hide her excitement, her eyes are sparkles with happiness seeing all the beautiful sceneries on the way. Ever since their carriage left the palace, Mina has the side window opened, her arms lean on the window frame while her head is sticking out, eagerly looking at everything in pure joy,

On the other hand, Chaeyoung is being content with just sitting there and watches the girl she loves. To the Queen, the bright and beautiful smile on Mina's face is the most amazing scenery out there. She smiles to herself, feelings the way her heart reacts to every little moves and every cute sounds that Mina makes,
