I Need A Queen?!

Chapter XVI: "Todome no Kiss"

KIHYUN'S POV

It's 4PM already.

An hour ago, I met the new Japanese Ambassador. I stopped myself from asking him if he personally knew Yamazaki Kento. Good thing I can control myself.

Changkyun and Jooheon both left 3 hours ago with him complaining and whining about the film festival he and the others were going to. At first, he was very funny to watch but then it got annoying so while eating dessert, I gave a Royal Order which they should obediently follow and fortunately, Yoonho wrote it down. Now Jooheon has to go there no matter what! Hahahaha! They are going to attend the party at PM Shin's Anyang estate. I can't go because of the attempt on my life last Friday night.

Right now, I was in the same hall where Miyeon was playing the piano. Since my meeting with the new Japanese ambassador earlier finished up much earlier, I went here to enjoy a cup of tea and listened to Miyeon while waiting for the security meeting to start.

While she was playing the piano, my eyes were fixed on her, admiring every second she struck out a beautiful tune. I liked how her fingers moved gracefully on thee keyboard. I could feel her intense passion and love for what she was doing and-

"Sire, Director Go and Asst. Director Kim have just arrived. Sir. Jung and Commander Jo are now in the conference room while Prime Minister Shin and Deputy PM Lee are on standby via video call. Shall we go?" Gwanghyun asked.

"I really hate it when you disturb me during my monologues..."

"Your what?"

"Nothing. Let's go. See you later again, Miyeon."

She smiled and bowed before starting another piece.

"Hey you should take a break for a while."

"It's alright. I want to play another one before doing so."

"Alright but, don't tire yourself."

Upon arriving inside the conference room, I immediately asked everyone to sit down. On the far end of the table was a laptop and on the screen were PM Shin and Deputy PM Lee.

"Please begin, Director." I said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Sire, gentlemen, we may have in a few days' time, a breakthrough in this case." said Dir. Go.

"How so, director?" PM Shin asked.

"During the course of interviewing the people and different establishments in and around the area of the Republican Party's HQ, it has emerged that different eyewitnesses spotted a certain man with long hair who always frequented the area in the days before Friday itself. They described him as someone who was always smiling and had a happy expression on his face."

"According to the reports that we received, he was always seen seated at one of the outside tables of a nearby café. Sometimes, they would see him talking to or texting someone on his phone." said Asst. Dir. Kim.

"Then it's highly likely that this man was just someone obeying someone else's orders." said Sir. Jung.

"Have they seen him since then?" Deputy PM Lee asked.

"Unfortunately sir, no." replied the Director. "But we are now currently in the process of searching in our database to see if it matches any person we know. We will send it to you as soon as we have it, Your Majesty."

"Good. The sooner we catch this person, the sooner we can find out who we're actually dealing with. Please send us regular updates."

"Of course sire. Now to our next topic, the question of security during election day itself. Commander?"
