In the midst of the tension-filled court, Omega Jimin's emotions boiled over as he struggled to contain his anger and hurt. The sight of the concubine sitting on King Jungkook's lap, flirting shamelessly and questioning Jimin's place in the court, ignited a fire of jealousy and defiance within him.
Rising to his feet with a determined resolve, Jimin's eyes blazed with unspoken words as he confronted King Jungkook, his voice muffled by the muzzle but filled with raw emotion. "How dare she, Your Majesty?" Jimin's words rang out, a mix of anguish and accusation. "How can a mere concubine, with whom you've never shared more than passing words, come here and try to take my place?"
The courtiers, taken aback by Jimin's outburst, fell into a hushed silence, their eyes darting between the king and his enraged consort.
Jungkook, his expression a mask of calm authority, regarded Jimin with a mixture of understanding and determination. "Jimin," he began, his voice steady yet tinged with regret, "you know that your place in this court and in my heart is irreplaceable. No one can take that from you."
But Jimin, consumed by a surge of jealousy and hurt, couldn't contain his emotions any longer. "I am your mate!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling with suppressed rage. "You've marked me, claimed me as yours. Yet you allow her to disrespect me, to call me a mutt!"
The concubine, sensing the escalating tension, tried to interject with a coy smile, but Jimin's glare silenced her immediately.
Jungkook's gaze softened with empathy as he approached Jimin, his hands reaching out in a gesture of reassurance. "Jimin, my love," he said, his voice gentle yet firm, "you are my Omega, my mate. No one questions that, least of all me."
Turning to the concubine, Jungkook's tone turned stern as he addressed her directly. "You have overstepped your bounds," he stated, his eyes flashing with authority. "Leave this court and reflect on your actions. Disrespect towards any member of my court, especially my consort, will not be tolerated."
The concubine, chastened by the king's words, hurriedly left the court, casting a final glance at Jungkook and Jimin before disappearing from sight.
With the tension diffused, Jungkook turned his attention back to Jimin, his eyes filled with love and apology. "Forgive me, Jimin," he whispered, his voice carrying a depth of sincerity. "I should have acted sooner. You are and always will be my mate, my beloved Omega."
Jimin, still reeling from the intensity of his emotions, nodded slowly, a mixture of relief and lingering hurt in his eyes. "I understand, Your Majesty," he replied, his voice softer now. "But please, never let anyone question our bond again."
Jungkook wrapped Jimin in a comforting embrace, his silent promise of protection and devotion speaking volumes as they stood together in the heart of the royal court, reaffirming their love amidst the challenges of courtly life.
