"Prince Jihoon, I apologize for the fact that dame y/n wasn't able to escort for the second day, sir Felix said that she wasn't feeling well" The queen said with a small bow.

"Please don't apologize your highness and stand tall" Jihoon replied, acting flustered by the queen's gestures.

"I understand that dame y/n must've been exhausted by yesterday's events. Although, won't the prince see me off?" 

Jihoon already knew that Hyunjin wouldn't.
But he just really wanted to see how that annoying prince would mask his anger and swallow his pride, being unable to live up to what he said.

"You lay a finger on her and the next time I see you, I will pull out your finger nails one by one and ban you from entering this kingdom ever again. Do I make myself clear?"

"Sadly, my son's schedule for the day is packed. I apologize once again. And I hope that you have a safe trip back home" The queen says with a sweet smile.

"Thank you your highness"

Jihoon bows to the queen before heading out.
And right when the door closes, the queen's smile quickly disappears and the room suddenly turns cold, with the queen glaring at the spot where Jihoon once stood as she said to the knight guarding her 

"Sir Wang, that boy is not allowed to set foot in the castle ever again. The only exemption being a royal meeting or ball. I don't know what he has done and I may have a few guesses but whatever it is, it has upset my son greatly and I will not allow it"

"Yes your highness"

Despite being shaken by the previous night, you knew that the world wouldn't stop for you.
It wouldn't stop to let you process everything.
It wouldn't stop to let you heal.

It would just keep on spinning.
Which is why you took it upon yourself to just place a bandage over the mark so that it would be off of your mind, get over the situation and do what you normally did.

You had too.
Because everyone else was back to normal.

Jisung and Minho, along with their kingdom's messenger boy who was now also tasked to accompany Jisung -Jeongin- were sorting kingdom related things out. Hyunjin was having his usual lectures with Chan while Seungmin pestered him.

And while all of that was happening, you decided to have training Felix and Changbin. Since training also helped get your mind off of things, you thought, why not.

In the middle of a sword fight with Changbin, you failed to realize that the bandage that was wrapped around your neck had loosened and continued to spar with him as Felix watched from the side.

If there was thing that you learned while fighting, it was to watch the eyes of your opponent because they say that the eyes are the window to a person's soul. And by watching their eyes it's as if you can predict their next move of find their flaws.

You and Changbin never break eye contact whenever you fight. Although in this fight, you noticed his eyes waver and go wide for a moment, making your brows furrow.

So far, thoughout the battle you were able to dodge every attack and fight back. But after that split second that his eyes, Changbin suddenly pulled a fast one, tripping you and kicking your sword away.

Once your sword is out of your hands, he dropped his and lifted you up before grabbing you by the pinky and twisting it until your hand was against your back in an uncomfortable position, something that you did often and learned from him.

Changbin quickly grabbed the top of your head with his free hand and tilted it to the side.

"What the fuck is this?!"
