The Queen and her National Treasure

Chapter 36

Third person's POV

JiHyo is now staring at Mina with interrogating eyes, 'You want Her Majesty to think of you every night even if she can't come here with you, am I right?'

Mina quickly avoids the stare, she clears her throat, feeling a little embarrassed because JiHyo can just easily read her plan, 'Ehmmm... nothing is wrong with that.'

JiHyo smiled at her best friend's little plan, 'Yes, nothing is wrong with that, Your Highness. But remember how Her Majesty said you are not allowed to get hurt without her permission?So I've gotta warned you, if Her Majesty found out how much your fingers are suffering because of these needles, not only you will be scolded by her, but she might also ban the whole Castlemaine from embroidery, and that would be a disaster.'

Mina is now looking at JiHyo with pleading eyes, 'Therefore JiHyo, I trust you to keep this a secret. Her Majesty won't find out until I give her the present, and once she got the present, I guarantee she won't be angry at us for keeping this a secret.'

JiHyo sighs defeatedly, 'I know I can't change your mind, but Your Highness, at least let me put some ointment onto your injured fingers.'

'Uhm.' The Consort nods her head, 'But don't put too much ointment. Otherwise, Her Majesty will notice it.' The stubborn girl is determined to make this surprised gift for her Queen. She will risk anything to have a perfect gift for the one she loves with all her heart.

◇◇◇◇

One week later, right after the throne hall meeting, the Queen is heading straight back to Consort Mina's palace as usual. Head Court Lady Nayeon is accompanying with her, as the two still have some issues to discuss,

'Your Majesty, you are back!' Mina greets with her prettiest smile,

'Yes, My Treasure, I'm back.' The Queen says adoringly and has her arms wide open, ready to hug her Treasure even before sitting down after all that walking,

And the Consort immediately runs straight into the loving arms, letting The Queen babying her, she hugs Chaeyoung's waist so tight while leaning her head into Chaeyoung's chest. Meanwhile, The Queen's face is glowing with happiness, she pulls her wife even closer by the waist with her left arm while her right hand automatically caresses the girl's silky hair with so much adoration,

On the other hand, JiHyo and Nayeon are looking at each other then smiling to themselves. This sweet loving scene is so heart warming to them, they love to see it eventhough they are so so used to it because to be frank, it happens daily. The Queen and her spoiled Consort are inseparable, they hug each other like they were forced to be separated for months, but in reality, Chaeyoung just left Mina's palace a few hours ago after spending all night here together.

'Your Majesty, are you done with your work for the day?' Mina asks, still leaning her head onto The Queen's chest,

'Yes my Treasure. I've just discussed the very last issue with Head Court Lady while walking back here. I made sure to get everything done first, because I want to spend all my free time with my Mina.' Chaeyoung softly replied,

The Consort smiles happily, she proceeds to break the hug and holds onto The Queen's hand, pulling her a little, 'Then come here, Your Majesty.' She proceeds to sit Chaeyoung down on the highest chair in the main hall, then she hurriedly runs into her room,

On the other hand, The Queen has been watching her wife's every move with a bit of confusion in her eyes, not sure what the girl is planning,

Soon enough, Mina runs back out with a gift box in her hand, she walks over to Chaeyoung and shyly hands it to her, 'Your Majesty, I... I made you something.'
