Queen of Joseon

CHAPTER EIGHT

Chaeyoung's POV 

I was close on kissing Jennie earlier. It was so close that I smell her scent, she smell like a flower, a lavender exactly. I am hypnotized by her eyes which makes me almost leaned in to capture her lips but we heard a knock. A knock makes me wake from a dream of kissing a Queen. I moved away from her as I know this era is not for me. I don't belong here, I will try my best to go home. 

Jennie seem angry when she realized that the Crown Princess liked me. Why does she care if someone liked me? And worst she forbid me to like someone as I am her servant and she's the Queen. I want to remind her that I'm not around here but I know she will put a cold face again. When I went closed to her, I saw how she stared at my eyes, it's like she's looking for comfort. I felt like Jennie has burden in her heart and she keeps it by showing straight face as she want to maintain a good image for her being a Queen. 

I am now walking towards my cabin when I saw the Crown Princess outside. When she saw me, she went towards me. I bowed at her and greets her. 

"Good evening Crown Princess. Do you perhaps will inform something for Her Majesty? We can talk inside my cabin Crown Princess." I invited her and open the door for her. "Why does the Crown Princess wants to talk with me? It must be important. " i said while looking at her. 

"It seem I have disturbed your time Lord Chaeyoung. I went here to talk more about you." She said and smirked at me. She stood up and went closer to me. I immediately moved a step away from her. 

"What does the Crown Princess wants to ask with me? I shall answer you truthfully." I said and took off my hat. I put it at the table. 

"You don't seem to be around here Lord Chaeyoung. Tell me, why do you have white hair? I have never seen such hair. And you smell uncommon. Such strong yet attractive smell." She said and went closer to me. 

"This hair is from nature Crown Princess. I have been born with a hair color as this. As for my scent, I have never used other scent, I asked for a scent maker to create me a scent which makes me different from the smell of other noblemen." I explained. "Anything more Crown Princess?" I asked politely.

"I have recieved a news that Lord Chaeyoung don't have any lady around him. Are you perhaps waiting for a composed and devoted lady?" She asked which makes me think. Even in my era, I have never liked someone. I admit I'm sexually active but I have no interest with someone before. Why Jennie's face popped in ny head? Do I like her already? No. It can't be! 

"I believe the Crown Princess should not asked such things to me. I don't have interest on waiting a lady. I'm not willing to be interested with a lady Crown Princess not now." I said and darkly looked at her eyes. She have a look which makes me felt lust? Why does she looked so lewd? Am I seeing things because I haven't fuck since I came here? Maybe, yeah I might be imagining things. 

"I wonder if Lord Chaeyoung would like to make his night warm and not alone." She said and went to touch my back. Okay. It's a sign, she wants me but no, I already told Jennie. I'm not interested on the Crown Princess. I decided to step away from the Crowned Princess. 

"I apologize sincerely Crown Princess, I am not interested by such offer. I don't want our alliance have conflict as I want to keep it stronger than before. I'm afraid it will destroy the prepositions we have agreed." I said and she smiled at me. What? Why is she smiling? She sat at my bed then looked at me while smiling in relief. 

"I never thought Joseon Palace has a gentle nobleman as you Lord Chaeyoung. When Her Majesty sent me a letter about her prepositions, I apologize if I gathered information about your Palace. Yes, Joseon Palace has it's stabled resources but it's higher officials are not pleasing as they seem. I thought Her Majesty was surrounded by foolish and disrespectful officials but tonight you Lord Chaeyoung made me realize I'm wrong. I guess Her Majesty is in good hands and this alliance is a great opportunity for me too when I soon become a Queen." She said which makes me sighed in relief. It was just a test. Thank you God. I thought she will literally do something to me luckily I controlled my hormones because of Jennie.
