Five Kingdoms

Announcement

The group all leave the room, not bothering Jimin's small, sleeping form. After the door closes, quietly, the princes all walk down a few doors, waiting for Namjoon to say something. "Daniel came with Jihyun." Namjoon says with a nod. "What! Why?" Jin asks putting his hands on his hips. "He's apart of the king's personal travel staff, let's all just keep an eye on him. Jess just wanted to let me know, but she also informed me that there was a small child with them. He's young twelve or thirteen, dressed in a traveling butlers uniform." Namjoon says. Yoongi nods, looking deep in thought.

"What's the plan hyung?" Jungkook asks looking at Namjoon. "Let's go and meet with them first. Seeing as I only have their thoughts to go on, we can't jump the gun." Namjoon says with nod. Annie, Madison Felicia walks toward the group, the men all move to let the three maids pass. "Oh. Uh. Let him rest a bit longer, he's had a rough couple of nights." Namjoon says. "Did you get juice for Jiminie hyung to take his medicine with?" Jungkook asks. Annie holds up a small bottle of juice, receiving a bunny smile and a nod from the youngest prince. The maids all bow in unison and go to stand in front of Jimin's door.

Namjoon leads the group to the main entrance where all the families have been gathered. "Joonie. Why are we all here, you said it's an emergency?" Queen Kim asks resting her hands on Namjoon's arms. "Just a moment mother." Namjoon says. Jungkook scans the room, finding Jihyun standing off to the side talking with king and queen Park.

Two butlers standing near Jihyun catch Jungkook's attention, one being Daniel, the other, a very young looking boy with large dark eyes. Jungkook nudges Taehyung and the two glare at the new king. King Jung, Hoseok, Dawon and king Regan all walk into entrance area. Everyone turns to them. Immediately recognizing that Dawon had been crying, her eyes and nose are red.

"Everyone. Thank you so much for coming. I have an announcement." King Jung says. Hoseok moves closer to his father, holding his hand. "My queen- my beautiful wife. The queen of this kingdom is sick. She will not see tomorrow's sunrise." King Jung says with a shaky voice. There are small gasps around the room, queen Jeon turns and cries into king Jeon's chest. Jungkook moves to hold his mother and help calm her down.

"Is there nothing we can do?" King Min asks, trying to hold his wife up. Yoongi goes over and hugs his mother to help hold her up. The queens all cry at the news of losing one of their precious sisters. The king's start talking amongst themselves, not accepting the news that they'll lose someone they consider a sister, trying to figure out a plan.

Taehyung and Jin both move to stand near their parents. "There is nothing we can do. This was something we have known about and feared since she was pregnant with Dawon. This disease is incurable and worsens without medication, with pregnancy. The physician is surprised she was able to push herself this far." King Jung says through his tears.

Namjoon stands with his back against a wall, with his eyes shut tight, listening to the racing thoughts going through each persons head, all combining to sound like nonstop yelling. Yoongi notices Namjoon struggling to stand, but can't quite move from his own mother. Dawon is crying into her husbands chest. Jihyun looks down, biting his lower lip, trying not to cry. Taecyeon reaches for Jihyun, Daniel pulls him away and glares at the small boy, shaking his head sharply.

"You may all visit with my mother throughout the day. Please make sure it's only a few at a time. We don't want to overwhelm her." Hoseok says with a strained voice. The princes all look at Hoseok and he nods. The king's and queen's all eventually leave to head toward the medical hall. The princes all head to the game room. "Go to get my things and bring them here." Jihyun says over his shoulder, to Daniel and Taecyeon before entering the room."Thank you for coming Jihyun." Hoseok says as he closes the door. "Of course." Jihyun says looking at Hoseok with tears in his eyes.

"Jihyun. We know we called you here for queen Jung, but we also need to discuss something with you." Namjoon says. Yoongi walks over and stands next to Namjoon, rubbing circles on his back.

"What's that?" Jihyun asks sitting down on a sofa. Jungkook sits opposite Jihyun, resting his elbows on his knees, he just glares at the new king. The princes all looks around at each other. Namjoon nods, crossing his arms. "Jihyun, do you remember when the war started?" Jin asks. Jihyun nods. "Yea. Why?" Jihyun asks, stealing a glance at Yoongi, before looking down at the floor.
