👑 11 👑

After getting dressed, we head back to Felix who was waiting for my return. "Sorry to keep you waiting my lord. I had to make sure I was presentable for you" I said as did a bow. He giggled, then said no worries as he is a patient guy. We headed to the garden, this place is my favorite to be as it brings me peace. Plus, I had to stay here when Sunjae arrives for his time with me. As we stroll, my servants were three inches behind us— watching me very closely, especially Yoongi.

Stopping at a old apple tree, I sat down on the swing that was tied to it. "Are you strong my lord, if so, can you give me a push?" I demanded. Without a second thought, he grab the seat and gave a gentle push. I was wrong about his strength, he was strong. I like that. As he was pushing me, he began to ask questions "What are you planning to do when queen, your highness?" I couldn't see his face but the tone sounded serious.

But this question again, I had to answer "To change this kingdom for the better, my lord. To expand the town and brunch out more... I'm already in process of combining with Japan. Discussing with the princess over there is nothing but ice" I joked around a little bit. But Momo and I are planning to spread my kingdom into their territory as we gave them quality sources as oil or metal. They gave us crops and land.

He was impressed by the idea and added that he will follow anything that I would do. Only if I was picking the guys, then I would pick someone who strong and don't always follow what I do or say. Felix is not that type of person to stand by my side. We continue to converse more as Jk went to go retrieve Sunjae from the front gate. Saying out goodbyes, Felix planted a kiss on my hand and walked away.

"Here's a towel your majesty" Jin said as he knows when I like something. Taking the towel, I began to wipe my hand. "Yoongi!" I yelled, even though he was right there. He immediately respond to my shout, he asked what's wrong and I told him that I was afraid about tomorrow. He comfort me by explaining that my mother knows who's right and wrong.

Sunjae enter the area with a bright smile. Being a sucker for it, I contained my blushing as I nodded in respect. He asked if we could go for a walk outside the palace— I couldn't agree more. As a gentleman, he takes my hand and place it on the nook of his arm. We all headed out on the streets. It was quiet this time as it was still morning. The markets gets crowded later on today. As we stroll the street, people came up to me asking for pictures or just to talk.

Sometimes I felt like a celebrity or something. Yoongi and Jin finds it cute when I speak to my people. Jungkook mention a cafe we could sit to rest our legs, entering the waiter quickly took our order. I order for the table and for the others as well, but Jungkook already order for Yoongi and Jin. Talking and laughing, we had a pretty good time. Once it was time to go, a witness trips and spilled hot tea on me "GAH!" I screamed. That shit was hotter than Hoseok's breath...

"Princess!!" Jungkook said as he dashed to my aid. The other two joined him as well, concerned. Sunjae shouted at the worker and that he should be fired from this place, "Ain't you being to rough my lord" a stranger voice said. The stranger handed me a towel, but began to clean up the spot— it was Namjoon. Shocked that he came out of nowhere, he stood up and faced Sunjae.

"This peasant didn't mean to harm the princess in any type of way. You should relax as the people do their jobs, everyone makes mistakes" Namjoon grin at the young lord, Sunjae just gave him the weirdest stare of his life. What was he trying to do? Kill him by mind power...

I told the waiter it was fine and it was just an accident. He kept on apologizing as he steps away from the scene. Yoongi, Jin, and Jungkook made sure I was alright before I went to thank Joon. "Have I see you from somewhere? You look highly familiar?" Sunjae said as he squinted his eyes more. Shaking his head, Joon turned to me.

Asking me if I was okay or injured in anyway? When I said no, that cute dimple smile appeared then a sigh of relief. Why do I feel different? Why is that smile different? Namjoon waved off— leaving me in complete flustered. Jin recommend a change once again as a princess shouldn't have no flaw when outside the kingdom. Agreeing to that, we headed to the palace.

Since the afternoon is almost over, I told Sunjae it was best for him to head home and be ready for the ball tomorrow. I let him kiss my hand again as he was a complete gentleman today. Yoongi, Jin, and Jk enter the room with me. The spot that the tea spilled, is beginning to string a little bit. "Yoongi can you fetch the first aid please. I think this made a mark on my leg"

Quickly he dash out the room, Jungkook sat on the bed with me as Jin grabbed so new clothes from the closet. "You was turning red like a rose my lady. Where you okay back there?" I hid in my hands, I was embarrassed to tell Jk why was I blushing back there. Everytime I get around Namjoon my heart raced and I can't control my actions. Jk gave me the puppy dog eyes as he stares deep into my soul.

"No. Everytime Namjoon is around, my heart does all kinds of flips and tricks. I can't control myself when he is near. It's like when I'm with Jinyoung... ever since you introduced me to him. I feel like I'm going to faint" I mumbled but clear enough that he could hear the words. Chuckling, he gave me a side hug and told me that what love feels like.

"That's what being in love feels like, I remember when I fell in love with my partner" his smile with the softness expression ever. Intrigued, I gave him my full attention and ask who was this special someone that made him smile like that. Flustered, Jungkook scratched the back of his head "We like to keep to ourselfs, we like to be a secret. So don't tell anyone about this okay"

I zipped my mouth and threw away the key. Told him I wouldn't tell a soul... his face frown "Mia, I just realized something, after tomorrow things would be different. You will be engaged to one of those guys. Isn't that just weird to you"

"Yeah, a little but there's nothing I could really do. It was either that or stepped down and let Hoseok take the throne. I couldn't let that happen, even though my brother would be a good king... he just not ready for it yet"

Jungkook looked around to see Jin still grabbing clothes. Then he lean into my ear "what about the fugitives? What if people find out, that you are the one that let them free. You made everyone think that you was kidnapped then let those two go loose. The whole family has a bounty over their heads as their parents tried to kill the queen. If people found out then you would never sit on that throne and possibly be killed for betrayal. I can't let that happen because I want to see you queen"

I didn't think about that... I could have turned them in but I couldn't. Their parents are missing, the kingdom don't know where they are. This crap is not going away as I have that baggage once that crown is on my head. If my citizens find out about that is my fault that the kids were let go... I'm dead.

"Then they won't find out because I will search for them and turn them in myself"
