A ' monarchy ' is what his grandparents aimed for for the day they decided to enter the underground world.

The reason was pretty bland, his grandmother was from a poor household wanting to live her childhood fantasy of being a princess while his grandfather simply did not want a lot of competition for himself.

Taehyung had heard this story a billion times about how his grandparents started from the bottom and reached the top, that if one more person told him anything regarding it he would punch them right in the face.

He understands the whole monarchy, establishing powers, etc but he does not understand all these balls and banquets, his family had quite a reputation for holding all the parties named in medieval eras, and now he was taking the burn.

Arranging a party for all the gangs, mafia families, and corporate tycoons was not a piece of cake especially when he had a day before killed everyone who could possibly help him in the arrangement.

He took a deep breath, this is not what he was prepared for during his lessons to take over the family.

"How can I help my queen" A smooth velvety voice broke him out of his trance. Taehyung turned to face Seokjin in a semi-formal look with a white shirt tucked in formal navy blue pants paired with a similar navy blue coat with two top buttons of the shirt unbuttoned showing his smooth chest.

Taehyung looked at his eyebrows raised in confusion, what was he doing here. However, Jin completely ignored the unwelcoming look on his face walking gracefully to stand beside him hand coming to rest on the small of Taehyung's back.

" Do you want me to help you with the arrangements? "Seokjin gives a blinding smile making Taehyung look up at him with stars in his eyes because fuck yes he needs help.

" Yes !! " Taehyung turned shoving a file that had all the names of people to be invited, "Take care of this, the whole thing is now responsibility, I'll see you at the ball itself."

Seokjin looked at the retreating back of the man with an amused smile on his lips, looking down on the file with names of guests and basic instructions required to follow in arranging the ball.

*****

Seokjin had a keen eye for detail, and Taehyung could not overlook it as he entered his family house after a week on the day of the ball. Being the host he was way earlier that, the only person except him there was Seokjin who was going through some last-minute details to the servers.

Taehyung looked at the man with gelled hair styled away from his face exposing his forehead, Seokjin had always been undoubtedly handsome but today he looked out worldly handsome with a Dior three-piece suit some dainty jewelry, and eyes sharp with commanding posture everything screams perfection and he couldn't take his eyes off the man.

He finally stepped in completely into the main hall effectively capturing the attention of all with his three inches heels making noise that echoed in the big hall that was basically empty.

Seokjin looked at him eyes trailing up and down his figure with interest, and although Taehyung was aware that he was good-looking and the way he was dressed was just as attractive but still the look of interest that crossed Seokjin's face was enough to make him flush in embarrassment.

Taehyung tucked in his outgrown bangs behind his ears as he accepts the greetings and bows of the worker walking in the halter neck red bodycon Chanel dress that has a little trail behind it paired with a bold diamond bracelet with the family seal on it that his grandmother made on his fifteenth birthday when he was officially introduced to the underworld. It was a mark that he was the next heir to the throne. For the day he opted for soft but sharp makeup and he knows that together with everything he was looking like someone's favorite dream and a nightmare at the same time.

Seokjin bowed a little going for Taehyung's hand and bringing them up to his face level and leaning down to press a short but firm kiss on the back of the hand all while keeping eye contact with him, "Greetings Queen. "

Taehyung felt his breath hitch, that literal perfection is not good for his heart, he quickly schooled his expression excepting the greeting with a little bow, " I don't think you have to address me as queen, over and over again. " he pulled back his hand from the man's hold turning to pick up a champagne glass.

"I thought you will be making an appearance slightly later when all the guest is already here." Seokjin too picked up a glass of champagne for himself looking at the queen with a curious gaze.

Taehyung nodded, taking out a packet from his purse emptying its content into the drink, and taking a little sip of the alcohol grimacing at the taste due to the packet before taking a big gulp in, "that's what I was planning but it being the first official meeting I would rather stay here from the beginning."

"Is that an antidote??? What happened to the notorious poison tolerance of the Kim family?" Seokjin laughed, his tone a little teasing as he looked at Taehyung who scowled.

" well, I didn't pack a stash of poison to consume while running away from home. "

This made the man snort in laughter at the sassy tone Taehyung was using.

" Well your guest is arriving, I'll let you deal with it." Seokjin smiled politely giving a small nod of his head before turning to move in the opposite direction and Taehyung could see him walking towards Kim Namjoon who was standing near the bar eyes already on Taehyung, as their eyes meet they both gave a small nod of acknowledgment before Taehyung turned towards the guest slowly approaching him to make small talks and as uncomfortable as it makes him he knows it is essential to expand his circle he put on his best customer service smile picking up a glass of wine and started conversing with a new group as soon as one pass.

As the time passed Taehyung could barely hide the exhaustion, the guest seemed to be neverending and he needs to pass on this to someone else.

He turned to spot the six men who were supposed to take on the role of the family advisor by tomorrow and he needs to put them in the spotlight so that he can get some rest.

"Excuse me! I'll get back to you in a minute" Taehyung smiled to the woman he was conversing with to turn around and walk towards the center of the hall he made eye contact with the group for a mile second before signing the orchestra to stop playing music, effectively getting the attention of maximum people in the hall.

" Sorry to disrupt your night," Taehyung smiled as he felt the attention on himself, his hand around the glass as he took a sip, before addressing the people, " as you all have already noticed the seat for the advisor position in the Kim family is lying vacant so let me introduce you to official members of the Kim Family today, Head of Min, Jung, Jeon Family and The Kim Brothers along with Park Jimin "

The hall went quiet as the people slowly digested the news of the newly announced official members of the Kim Family and the six men looks slightly taken back by the sudden declaration and it was a matter of seconds when the hall re- buzzed with the excitement as Taehyung signaled the orchestra to resume playing and the people rushed toward the group to congratulate them.

The moment attention was off him Taehyung didn't think twice before picking up a plate of snacks and speed walking to the back balcony and sliding outside away from the party, softly closing the door behind him.

The wind was chilly however much better than the suffocating inside, he softly removed his heels and plopped down on the bench placed outside letting out a low groan of relief. After being on his heels for the whole night and finally being able to sit down felt like a luxury he grabbed the plate and took a bite of the snacks slumping back and relaxing in the chilly night.
