Author POV:

Two pairs of footsteps echoed through the vast halls of the library. The archivist walked in the front, with a measured and deliberate pace, his footsteps echoing softly through corridors, leading his majesty to his goal. On the other hand, the soon-to-be king followed him mindlessly with his confident footsteps. He stares at him deeply. As he followed him, his eyebrows creased as he reminisced how something so strong could break into the broken pieces of glass just because of a harrowing incident.

The archivist made his way to the back of the library where the oldest and most valuable books were kept. There, on a dusty shelf, he found the book he had been searching for. It was bound in rich red leather, with gold lettering on the spine. The archivist carefully removed the book from the shelf and opened it, the pages crackling softly beneath his fingers. He turned to Prince Jungkook, with a smile full of pride.

"Here, Your Majesty.". He handed the book to his rightful owner.

Hearing the archivist's confident voice full of happiness and excitement, Prince Jungkook gets out of his unpleasant memories. He took the book in his hand feeling the weight, which was full of his kingdom responsibilities in his hands.

As the prince was looking at the book admiringly. The Archivist spoke, "This is a book that is full of details accounts of the coronation ceremony, as well as the history and traditions of our kingdom."

Jungkook looked at the book with big eyes full of curiosity.

"I believe that it will be a great help to you as you prepare for your coronation and take your place as a king". The Prince heard the activist's words full of confidence and unwavering trust in him, he felt more determined and eager to unlock this paper treasure chest full of wisdom, knowledge, and mysteries of this kingdom.

"Hmm, I will read this later."
He said without showing any emotion on his face.

But the archivist smiled at him, as he looked at his big eyes shining with bright stars, and in his nonchalant tone hiding a thin layer of gratefulness. He knows that this stubborn prince would like not to acknowledge this directly to him. But he is ready to wait as long as it takes.

"I hope that it will guide you to become the greatest king that our people have ever known."
Namjoon said with so many unsaid emotions, leaving his majesty with his clenching heart. Jungkook blinked his eyes, seeing the same resentfulness on Namjoon's face from centuries. It had only increased throughout the years, not even an ounce of it lessened.

" Your work is completed."
"You can leave now".

The Princes said coldly, hiding a hint of politeness underneath his tone. Stating clearly that now he wants privacy. However, the archivist knows that he is feeling overwhelmed because of his inner turmoil. So, the prince needs some time to calm down and focus.
