Your Majesty

4

"Your Majesty", Namjoon kneels down to greet Jeongguk as soon as the Emperor gets out of the carriage.

"Please stand up" , Jeongguk says. Namjoon stands up, looks at his younger brother who has a pout on his face and frown on his forehead.

He then looks at the Emperor, clearing his throat, " My brother doesn't think before doing things, Your Majesty, but why would you agree to his whims and come here without your guards. It is not safe." Taehyung gives his elder brother a stink eye.

"It is fine fine. Although you cannot see him, Yoongi is here. And Yoongi is enough", Jeongguk says.

"Indeed, Your Majesty", Namjoon bows, gesturing in the direction of the door of the Kim Household. "It is our honour to host you."

Jeongguk nods, following him to the door. "Call the meeting at your house today, do it discreetly" He says, as they are walking.

Namjoon bobs his head, " You don't have to worry about anything, Your Majesty." Taehyung walks behind them, mimicking them.

"Your Majesty", Lady Kim bows, greeting them as soon as they enter the house. She lifts her head to stare at Taehyung, a huge smile on her face, "Taehyung -ah."

"Mother", Taehyung says, walking towards her, hugging her. She pats her back. "Let his Majesty, rest, come help me choose his favourite dishes."

Taehyung is figuring out what excuse to make when Jeongguk grabs his elbow, pulling him back towards himself.

He looks at Taehyung's mother, a small smile playing on his lips, "I am not a picky eater, Lady Kim. However I would be upset if you took away my Consort from me."

Lady Kim tries to control her happiness, but her expression betrays her. Her only prayer was for the Emperor to dote on her son and now it was happening. She couldn't wait to hold her grandkids in her arms now.

Taehyung shakes his head, looking at her, knowing what she is thinking. He leans closer to Jeongguk, lowering his voice, " Thank You for that."

Jeongguk stares at Taehyung. "Oh, you will thank me, don't worry", he whispers. Taehyung

flushes, looking away.

That's it! Thankyou. I was thinking of opening commissions for this AU, if anyone would want to commission scenes they would like to see in the story (Obviously I would only accept it if it fits my idea). However, I wanted to know how many of you would be interested.

Jeongguk sits on the raised platform in one of the larger rooms of the Kim Household. Ministers sit in front of him, in two lines parallel to each other.

"Everyone is here, Your Majesty", Namjoon says. He is sitting at the very front.

Jeongguk nods, eyes inspecting the faces of the Ministers. The Ministers who are loyal to Jeongguk, the Ministers who will comprise his new court. He looks at Namjoon, "Call Taehyung. I want him to be here."

Namjoon lifts his head in surprise but nods, immediately getting up. Soon, Taehyung enters through the door, following Namjoon. He looks at all the Ministers, eyes wide, wondering why Jeongguk called him here.

"You called for me, Your Majesty", Taehyung bows, walking towards the Emperor. Jeongguk gives a subtle nod, "Come sit beside me, Taehyung. I would like your opinion on our discussions."

Taehyung didn't know his eyes were capable of growing so big, he wonders if Jeongguk has lost his mind. He may have little idea about palace etiquettes but he does know that a Consort is not allowed to meddle in court politics. That is taboo.

His thoughts are in fact voiced by one of the Ministers. "Your Majesty", the old minister cries out,

"How can a Consort sit in political discussions? His place is in the hare-" Before he could even complete his sentence the whistle of a sword being unsheathed resonates in the air and in an instant Jeongguk's blade is against the Minister's throat.
