BLADE'S KISS.

─ chapter two.

jk observed the stunning lady making her entrance as she walked graciously to greet the crowd upfront.

though the mission was his main criteria, his eyes just couldn't help but savor her flawless beauty.

Her luscious wavy hair elegantly cascaded down to her waist with her face framed by some alluring bangs. The off shoulder floral gown she wore, paired with a ruby chain around her slender neck, made her look ravishing. Her complextion radiated as if it's a gem of its own under the glistening sun. Her perfectly symmetrical cat like eyes, held myriad of emotions in those dark brown pools. Her plumpy cheeks adorned with a delicate rosy blush and her full lips curved into a wide, enchanting smile.

She appeared enchanting, undoubtedly captivating. It was truly unfortunate that she was born into the royal lineage as Princess Kim.

"to princess Jennie kim!" they all hailed.
She's the first daughter of the kims. The only daughter of the kims.

jk has already decided the first step of his plan, now's the time to implement.

jennie and ella reclined by the tranquil waters inside the castle. Jennie's pale legs immersed into, as she frolicked within. Her long hair was secured into a tender bun, enhancing her appearance.

"princess jennie, have you seen the prince you're going to marry?" inquired ella, her tone intimate, like a close acquaintance to Jennie.
"he'll forever remain a stranger to me ella, i'm not marrying him." Jennie retorted with unwavering tone.
"but his highness--"
"he just wants an alliance with the Songs and I'm the source to form one.
I'll find a way that happens, without me being a pawn in this game." jennie declared, determined.
ella gazed upon Jennie for a moment, her eyes filled with admiration, Jennie was her muse, a source of inspiration.
"What about love, princess jennie?" ella began.
"What about it?" Jennie responded.
"Do you want to fall in love and marry them?" ella probed further.
"i haven't thought about it...do i want to fall in love?" Jennie said, contemplating.
"How would your ideal man be?"ella pressed.
"brave." Jennie simply replied.
"thats it?"
"thats it."

"thats it?"
"thats it." jk responds, explaining his rather straightforward strategy to his companions.

"you're going to go undercover as the princess' bodyguard?" jung inquires, expression skepticism.
jk simply nods.

"how are you going to gain their trust jk?" jung pressed.

"i don't know. I haven't thought of that yet. But the initial phase is set."

"this is preposterous! you shall not proceed with this, we'll devise an another plan." jung exclaimed in indignation.

he paced back and forth on narrow lane,where the four decided to meet up. it was a narrow lonely road beside a busy market. Discussing secretly raises suspicion where as in the crowd, it appears normal.

"jung."
no response.
"jung!"
jung stops pacing around and looks at jk with look of fear and worry in his eyes.

"listen to me. i have this all sorted out. I'm confident about what I'm doing. You don't have to worry alright."

Jung let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. "JK, this is too risky a plan. To pose as a bodyguard for the princess of this kingdom? Do you know what that entails?"
