CHAPTER - VI

Queen
*-*-*-*-*

Meanwhile,

His highness, Kim Taehyung, leans over the balcony with his morning coffee, gazing at the garden. He notices you beside the pond who looks over the plants. Unawarely, his lips crack into a smile.

He stays there though his coffee is over, and watch you encounter Ms. Kang.

—

"Well well well, look who visits the garden!"

A sarcastic tone speaks, making you both turn to the women behind who were grandly dressed with elegant jewelry while two other women stand a foot beside her.

"Your majesty!" Ms. Kang bows, you instantly copy her action acknowledging the woman was the Queen.

"What are you guys talking about?" She trails her gaze to you, "Indeed handsome, what a joke!"

She laughs while you just examine her actions. 'What's wrong with her?' you think. Ms. Kang, looks away annoyedly. 'This is surely not in a good term.' you assume.

"So you're the new one, came to fix his flaws, huh?" She looks up and down over you.

He scoffed at his mother's words and continued to watch the scene.

"Umm- I came to enhance his beauty, your majesty." You say, as Ms. Kang whipped her head towards you in shock. It's wrong, even though she is queen, she has no right to describe someone's appearance and opinions badly. You bow, "Nice to meet you,"

"HOW DARE YO---"

"Ma'am! Your majesty is looking for you," calls the man with black uniform. She turns to look at him and turns back to you. "You arrogant peasant! If you dare to speak like this once again I will command to slice your tongue!"

She warns and walks away glaring at you. You just watch her leaving madly.

Once she leaves, Ms. Kang holds your arm. "What do you think you're doing?!" She asks, her tone says she is shocked. "You would've been put into the underground if it's not for that man! Don't you dare to speak like that once more, it's for your good Ms. Y/n!"

She was worried and shook by your action. "But Ms. Kang, she is wrong to bad mouth someone, don't you think?" You frown, sternly fixing the mistake on the queen.

"I know, she is always like that. But that doesn't mean you can speak back at royals. We are here to serve them, if you don't remember." Her voice echos warning. You sigh and nod in response.

However he didn't expect a retort as your response. He smiles once again, finding your defending self and boldness.

"What are you?" He mumbles

•••

Days passed, yet you weren't assigned to the work till today. You were spending time in your room and garden. You don't have anywhere to go, and you don't want to pull any stunt wandering around the palace though you liked to tour the place.

It was quite boring to be alone here. You miss your father and sister already. You wanted to know how they are doing and how they are and all. Mostly you miss your dad's food. Speaking of food, you didn't see the Mr. Jung since the day he came for breakfast late.

He kept you less lonely at eating time, but for the past few days he didn't show up which made you wonder but you didn't dare to ask someone about him. It's only Ms. Kang, who accompanies you for a while in a day.

You haven't met the queen since then as well. Ms. Kang, warns you frequently, to speak respectfully with royals. You heard more about the queen, that she hates her second son and that she always thinks he is useless. No one knows what's the reason, nevertheless she never shows it in official events.

His father was quite attached to both of his sons. However, he is not on good terms with the younger. King was mad that his highness didn't choose to take the throne though he received the majority of the vote and had a great skill which was proved by all of his tests for the next king.

King couldn't force him, because of the elder son Kim Namjoon. Priorities usually go to the elder for the throne, which discouraged the father and encouraged the younger son.

You found adorable of him, Kim Taehyung, who used all of his chances to become a model. Again you felt glad that he chose this career. You just like how passionate he is. How he loves it. You are impressed by the fact that he could be passionate about what he loves and wants.

However, you didn't get to see his highness until today. Unknowingly, you want to see him at least once. You grow interested in him each and every time you think and know about him.

Anyways, the knock on the door gets you up from the bed. You went to the door and opened it to find the same lady that informed you about the schedule. Assuming it would be about the schedule again you greet, "Hello Ms,"

"Good morning Ms. Gong. Tomorrow we have a schedule for next morning at 9. Venue is in the forest this time and we will be staying for a couple of nights and returning the day after tomorrow morning."

"Fo-forest?" You stammer.
