Prayed for... [bts_ot7]

Marking[28]:

*knock**knock*

"your majesties!(bow)"

"hmmm?" – she gives her attention to the man standing before her.

"I treated as much as I could. Though he is in critical situation, he is stable. He will surely be nourished to health within few days."

"hmm.. that's good. Thanks for your service doctor. Anything else?" – Queen tilts her head to the right.

"umm.. yeah...There are some a-abuse marks all over his body."

"How come you are sure they are abuse marks not battle marks?" – Jungkook who has been quite from the beginning speaks up for the first time from the side of her highness.

"Battle marks are mostly of swords but these marks are of punches and kicks so they are most probably abuse marks and also some are really old as if repeatedly hit at the same place over the time. And also the cut on his wrist is an evidence of suicide attempt. It is a bit deep and was left unattended so it is infected but good thing I could stitch it up and aid the infection before it claimed his hand otherwise we had to amputate him."

Both Jungkook and nasya sigh and motion the physician to see himself out. They look at each other then indulge themselves into their respective jobs because Jungkook wanted to respect the boundary of nasya and she didn't know what to do.

"Jimin I was in deep thought for a few days. As far as I have known you and got information about you from you and abba-nim you like dancing, theatre and reading novels as well as acting on them, in short literature. ( Jimin nods in confusion) so I thought of giving you the position of the Ministry of literature and arts. What do you think? Will you be able to fulfill the roles and duties of it? You do have a rough idea of the said position from your lessons already so think about it and let me know."

As the things are going through some rough patches, Jimin gets the call from the Queen to her royal office. Confused Jimin visits there hurriedly worried something is wrong with her because she has been quiet apparently for the past 2 days since the face off with tae and joon.

"Nasya, as my wife and as well as my Queen, my superior I have full trust in you that you will definitely decide what is best for me and the kingdom. I will go with your decision and I will surely ace the role."

"You don't have to hurry. Think."

"I know what my role will be and I am sure art and literature can be the perfect role for me. Don't worry nas I am not hurrying. Thank you for this opportunity."

"Alright. I will start the preparation soon." Nasya softly smiles. Jimin returns with his eye smile. He was about to leave but, "aah! But what about the present minister of literature and art?" Jimin asks afraid that he is making someone jobless. As if understanding the dilemma Nasya answers him, "don't worry. He will be your right hand, your assistance. I am thinking of appointing one for others too. They are working too hard. With the new treaty with the western kingdom the work load has spiked up a lot. Other than that now Kim Seokjin is here too, so I had to do something about it too. I have to face some backlash anyway so why not another one."

By the time she stops talking she isn't in the moment, she zoned out looking out at the dancing trees. Though she stops talking the unsaid words and feelings are too loud for Jimin, enough for him to tear up. He whispers an inaudible, "right!" Then takes another glance at her and leaves her alone because the silence is too suffocating for him to witness the faltered and shattered look of Nasya at the world. He blinks his eyes to clear them and leaves after bowing. He felt the need to bow because before him was sitting a broken wife and a defeated Queen.
