When the four guards holding the royal carriage set it down on the ground inside the palace, the princess snatches open the window and sticks her head out of it like a crazy person. She makes eye contact with one of the guards who cringes at the intense look in her dark eyes.
"Let me out!" She screams.
Two of the guards rush to the sides of the wooden carriage and help her out of it.
She straightens herself up before leaving the guards behind her as she ascends the stairs of the palace's entrance.
The guards rush behind the princess, trying to keep up with her.
She meets her gungnyeo (the woman-in-waiting for the king and/or other royalty) at the top of the stairs.
"Lead me to the king's chamber," the princess says quickly.
The gungnyeo bows at the princess before leading her to the king's chamber.
Maids and guards bow at the princess as she walks past them in the corridor and halls of the palace.
When she arrives at the giant wooden doors of the king's bed chamber, she turns to her gungnyeo quickly and asks her if she looks good.
Her gungnyeo smiles at Princess Ari and replies, "You always look like the shining moon and stars, your highness."
The princess smiles back at her gungnyeo in excitement. Her eyes form crescent moons at her. Her gungnyeo melts at how cute the princess looks when she smiles warmly. It reminds her of the first time she met the princess which was when the princess was 4 years old. She would beg the 10-year-old gungnyeo to have tea parties with her and play with her dolls.
The door opens revealing Namjoon who lets the princess know the same thing he told her mother, that the king does not want any company at the moment.
The princess's lips puff out as she pouts.
"I really need to speak to the king," she states.
Namjoon shakes his head at the princess.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but the king is not feeling up to having company right now," he says.
The princess becomes concerned about the look Namjoon is making on his face. His eyebrows are knit together, his eyes have a tired look, and his lips form a small frown.
"Why? Is the king okay?" Princess Ari asks as she steps closer to Namjoon.
He looks down at her smaller stature and nods his head.
"He's fine, he just needs some rest," he replies.
The princess's face falls at the fact she cannot see the king today. She was looking forward to it and wanted to ask him a favor before it was too late.
Princess Ari nods her head at Namjoon in understanding.
"Well, then tell the king I came to visit and want to speak to him as soon as he feels better," she replies.
Namjoon smiles at the princess.
"I will, Your Highness," he responds.
He bows to her before shutting the door and returns to the king.
Princess Ari sighs.
"What would you like to do now, Your Highness?" The princess's gungnyeo asks.
Princess Ari gives the gungnyeo a disappointed look before responding: "I would like to take a walk outside to the garden."
The gungnyeo bows at her and takes her to the garden.

Tiana and Jungkook walk in the garden in silence. She wishes she had brought AD's sketchbook since it feels like she's been wasting time walking around the palace aimlessly with Jungkook. She has about four more days before she plans to return the sketchbook to him, but that is only if she can draw in it consistently.
