A Royal Secret

Chapter 1: Getting Ready for a Party

   "Okay Jungkook, from the top, who is the ruler of Derva?"
   "Hmm...That would be King Taehyung, right?"
   "Correct! Now, who's the ruler of Bell Grace?"
   "Oh! That would be King Jimin!"
   "Right! Now, we start with math-"
   Just as Jungkook's older brother was speaking, the center clock rang at 12 o'clock, noon.
   "Sorry big brother, but I have to go. Dad and I are getting my uniform for tonight!" Jungkook said as he packed up his things, and ran out of their study room. "Okay fine, but just don't get too excited that you scare off the birds." Jungkook's brother said with a smile of humor on his face. "Hey, that was one time, okay!" Jungkook said with a smile, and swiftly ran out of the room.
   "Bye mom! Going with dad!" Jungkook said quickly that his mom almost didn't understand what he said. "Oh! Bye honey! Make sure to stay with your father!" Jungkook's mom yelled after him.
   Jungkook ran so fast toward his father's work that he almost ran into a carriage horse. The horse neighed in freight and almost ran off if it wasn't for the man at the reins.
   "Oi! Watch where're going boy!" the man yelled out in annoyance. "Sorry sir!" Jungkook said in responds and quickly fled the scene.
   In a matter of minutes, Jungkook made it to the only bar in the village, the 'BHit'.
   Jungkook walks inside to find a few people, including his father, sitting with his instrument and a cup of beer. "Dad?" Jungkook said as he walks over. Jungkook's father turns over, and gives his son a smile. "I see you're ready. Just give me a second." his father says as he reaches to get his money. After handing the bartender the payment, he stands up, cases his instrument, and walks out of the bar with Jungkook following behind.
   Traveling not so far from the bar, Jungkook and his father are at the tailor place, to pick up Jungkook's clothes. "Good Morning for the two of you! What can I help you with?" the man at the desk asked. "We're here to pick up a suit." Jungkook's father answered. "Oh, of course. I'll get it out, please wait here." the man said, and went into the back. Shortly after, he comes back with a suit in hand. It wasn't like the fancy suits that the noblemen would wear almost everyday, but it was still nice. It was a dark brown vest, made of cotton, and white under shirt with a white bow tie hanging droopily. The pants were also dark brown and the shoes were a shiny pair of black dress shoes.
   "Here we go. That would be 17 gold coins." the man said. "Here." Jungkook's father handed the money in a small coin bag. "Thank you! Have a good day you two!" the man said as Jungkook and his father walked out of the door. "Wow! This suit is nice!" Jungkook said with a bright smile on his face. "Yes it is. Now, let's get home and ready for that party tonight." Jungkook's father said also a smile on his face.

. . .

   "How long until we reach the castle?"
   "Not long, my king. Just a few more minutes and we've reached the castle gates." the man at the front of carriage said.
   "Jimin, would you stop asking the man? You already asked for the 10th time." Hoseok said with annoyance in his voice. "Yes, I would have to agree Hoseok, Jimin. It's getting annoying." Namjoon said. Jimin sighed and said, "Fine, I will." Jimin then looked out the window to see the houses passing them by.
   Suddenly, the carriage stopped so fast that the men inside almost fell over their seat. "Oi! Watch where're going boy!" the man outside at the front yelled out. Jimin looked again outside his window to see a young boy standing in fright. "Sorry sir!" the bot said and quickly left the scene. As he ran, a piece of paper was left behind. Jimin opened the little door that was right beside the man in the front and said, "Wait just a moment." Jimin then climbed out of the carriage and picked up the lonely piece of paper.
   After looking at the paper carefully, Jimin put the paper in his pocket and got into the carriage again. "What was that all about, Jimin?" Hoseok asked. "The paper the was from the young boy not so long ago. He accidentally left it behind. I intend to return it to him tonight." Jimin answered, taking out the paper.
   "How? You don't know who he is?"
   "Your right my dear friend, I don't, but I know he'll be at the party tonight for he had left his invitation." Jimin said and put the paper inside his pocket again.
   The ride continued and soon, they reached the castle gates, that lead to the castle square. Maids and butlers came out elegantly and got the luggage from the carriage. Jimin stepped out first and got a look around. Hoseok and Namjoon also came out but stayed near the carriage. Not a moment to soon, the front door opened, revealing the person who's birthday is today and the king of Derva. "Hello King Taehyung. It is very nice to see you again." Jimin said as he bowed his head. "As to you King Jimin. It had been a long few months. Come, let's talk inside." Taehyung said with a warm smile and lead Jimin inside.
   "I am so glad you accepted my invitation."
   "I would not miss this evening of your birthday, King Taehyung." Jimin says as both kings walked.
   Jimin looks behind him to see the maids and butlers carry the luggage up the stairs to, assuming, the guest rooms where Jimin, Hoseok and Namjoon are going to be staying at for a few nights.
   "Come King Jimin, we have a lot to discuss before the party."

. . .

   "Jungkook! Are you all ready for the party tonight?" Jungkook's mom asked to her son upstairs. "Just a moment mom!" Jungkook answered back. He was fixing his hair and looking at himself in the mirror. Jungkook nodded at himself, grabbed his instrument and bag and went down stairs.
   "All set?"
   "Yes mom."
   "Good, now stay with your father and play well." Jungkook's mom said, gave him a joyful smile and kissed his forehead.
   "You're sure you don't want to come?" Jungkook asked. "I have to stay here, but you have fun, okay?"
   "Okay mom."
   "Jungkook! We have to go!"
   "Okay, I'm on my way! Bye mom." Jungkook then walked out of the doorway and looked back at his mom with a smile on his face. "Let's go." with that, they left their home and headed toward the castle.
