"It's your free day, why are you training?" Jaemin asks with a pout as he watches you have a sword fight with Felix.

"Exactly! Today's my only free day so I should train as much as I can, while I can!" You say excitedly before knocking Felix's sword out and hitting his tummy with the hilt of yours.

Jaemin just arches a brow at you.

The princess and princes were given a day off but so were their assigned knights. The palace had a few elite knights who were assigned to guard the royalties for the day.

"Hyunjin never lets her leave his side so she likes to train every free moment she gets" Felix says with a groan, still on the ground from your hit.

Jaemin just nods his head.

At the mention of Hyunjin, you couldn't help but sigh. He hasn't spoken to you since you got injured.

Hyunjin sighed. Right now he was walking around town with a bored Jihoon, quiet Yuqi and an all-too-nice Jeno. But the worst part was the overly excited Jisung who just wouldn't shut up about everything that he saw.

"Can we go to this store?! OH WHAT ABOUT THAT PLACE?! OR-"

"-What about we all sit down in a small restaurant and chat first?" Jihoon suggests, already done with everything.

Everyone agrees, much to Jisung's dismay. And the five, along with their guards for a day head to a small restaurant.

"So... Since we'll all be here for week, I suggest we play a game!" Jihoon suddenly says as they wait for food, catching everyone's attention.

In all honesty, Jihoon hated events like this. He didn't see the need for gatherings and unity between the Kingdoms. He was bored out of his mind.

But there was a little someone who he knew could lessen his boredom. The moment you chose to ignore the fact that Jihoon winked at you, he decided that he had to get you, even if it was just once. No one, aside from princess Yuqi and Shuhua had rejected him.

Which is how he came up with a plan.

"Might I ask what game this is?" Princess Yuqi mutters. And just then, the food arrives.

"Simple. We write our knights names on paper and place it in a sack. Then we each get a paper. Whoever you get will be your knight for a day" Hyunjin doesn't fail to notice the little smirk plastered on Jihoon's face as he spoke and he couldn't help but have a bad feeling about this.

"So... in short, we switch knights for a day?" Jisung asks in awe. Jeno chuckles. "That seems like a fun idea, I mean, as much as I love Jaemin, it would be cool to see how knights of the other kingdoms act"

"No"

Hyunjin's words cut through the playful atmosphere, his eyes glued to Jihoon as he spoke.

"Why not? Why don't you like your knight to be other people?" All eyes are now on Hyunjin but he doesn't care.

"I'd rather no-"

"-do you not trust the other knights? Or do you just not like the feeling of her possibly being with another guy?"

'bulls eye' Jihoon thought.

At this point, if Hyunjin opposed, it would seem as though he has romantic feelings for you which could cause issues.

Hyunjin licked his lips. As much as he hated the idea "Fine. When we get back, let's call our knights and play this little game"
