I'm glad that it's them, but why doesn't it have to be them. Not only that— I have to pick now. How am I supposed to chose? Two handsome guys standing in front of me, two different souls. They stood back up and stared at me with such lovely eyes. Couldn't even breathe for a minute, composing myself. I stood up from the throne.

"You two will show me your strength and loyalty as I evaluate your overall. The next couple of weeks, we will see who will become victorious to be my king"

Everyone cheered as the raised their glasses up. I least it's not ten men I have to choose from. The night went on perfectly, they took turns dancing and talking to me. It wasn't that bad, yet.

The next morning, I woke up to the rays in my eyes. Yoongi was standing by the window, fixing the curtains. "Good morning my lady, how did you sleep?" He said as he walks over to my bed. Pulling the covers off, I laid there, not wanting to move an inch. He explains the schedule for today, as I have to go and meet up with Momo, then spend time with my grooms.

Could never get time to relax, slowly getting up and walking to the bathroom, a knock was at the door. Jin told me to go and fresh up, he will see who was that. Once inside, I unclothed and hopped in the shower. While in, my mind wonder to who was that at the door. After freshening up, I stepped out without a towel.

I mentioned that I do, do this a lot. If they don't mind, I don't mind. Glancing at my bed, I spotted flowers on it. "Yoongi, where did those flowers come from?" I tilted my head in confusion.

He walks over to them and picks them up "Jinyoung wanted to give these to you my lady, like a good morning present. You should have noticed as these are the rare blue roses" Yoongi sniffed them.

He was right, I didn't notice it was them. Why would he go out of his way into handing me those, where they are in the garden. Once I was dressed, we headed out of the palace. "Hey, my dear sister" Hobi said.

"Hobi, where are you going dressing like that?" I asked. He was dressed like a king, has his crown on and everything. His response was he need to discuss something with someone for property taxes. The parents will be out today, so he has to help fill the duties.

"Make sure I get updates Hobi, that is important to know" I said. He nodded his head and went off to the other direction. As we headed out, I spot Jungkook and Namjoon at the front gate. They were talking about something, I wasn't close enough to hear. Once they spotted me they quickly walked away. What was that about?

As we were walking towards the place Momo was staying at, Yoongi came to my side "Are you hungry my lady? You look like you are out of it lately"

"Regarding the fact that I haven't eaten this morning, then I could get a fruit or something" I told him. So, we approached a fruit stand with fresh products. As I looked around, the girls were giggling and jumping around. "Hello, somebody is excited today" I said to them.

"We just happy that you stop by here your majesty. We don't get the royal family here that often... plus we got a high noble here as well. So, our sales are going up"

Having certain nobles here could incase prices and sales... it's not a bad idea to have higher level citizens shop at lower income places. I grabbed a preach and ask how much it is. "10 £ your majesty... these just came in today so that's why it's high"

I told her that it's no problem. I gave her the money and thanked her. Eating the fruit, people greeted me with their usual smiles. Finally, we arrived at Momo's place. It took a while for her to answer the door, but she opened it. "Good morning your highness" she said as she gestured us in.

"You as well your majesty" I bowed. The place is not that bad, nice and cozy. "You ready to discuss these plans about the future"

"Can we eat and talk about the future kings your mother as picked?" She said as she went to sit on the couch. "I still have breakfast here, I don't eat much and my servants made too much"

Chuckling at her, I went to go and join her for breakfast. But I told her that I can't say much about my participants yet. As I don't even know much about what happened last night. Then I said that we don't have that much time as she needs to leave soon and I have other things to do.

"You are no fun, Mia. Fine, I'm ready to talk about the plans"

"I need your full cooperation on expanding the lands of my kingdom. In order to do that, you must agree with these plans. You know our goods are profitable"

"Of course they are profitable your majesty, that's why I want this expansion to happen. Not because you are my friend and I want this for you, it's because my people need it"

Out of nowhere another voice as enter the conversation. We both turned towards the door to see Jinyoung standing there... both of us were shocked by his appearance. Momo asked what was he doing here and what did he meant by why do her people need it as Japan is a huge country? My face has never been more confused.

"Jinyoung this is royal business, you know nothing about my kingdom and it needs"

"No disrespect your highness, you have tons of land and can place stores to create high profit. This kingdom is small and needs its goods to help it keep value. As you steal their profitable goods what's value will you do for them?" He said.

My face stays confused as I glanced at Momo, who is giving Jinyoung a nasty look. "What is going on?" I said.

"Princess Momo only wants to suck you dry... she doesn't need your goods for her people. She only wants to take control of the land for her own purpose, like other kingdoms. She is just like her mother, always want to take something they don't need"

Tsk came from her mouth and said what is it to him? "This is my home, king or not, I will always protect my home"

I never felt betrayed in my life. I can't believe she was trying to destroy me and my kingdom. I asked her why? Why would she do this... "You was always a naive princess, thinking you can do right by this land. You will be bring nothing was dirt and death to this kingdom just like your mother did. She doesn't care about her people or this kingdom... only herself. As for me, I care what is right. This is why Japan is the largest kingdom because we know how to run it. Sorry Mia, but you will change nothing"

I look at Yoongi and order him to call the royal guards "As princess of Busan, I declare Princess Momo of Japan exiled from this land. We will no longer trade or give you any goods"

That death stare she gave was terrifying before they took her away... she turned to me saying I have may a huge mistake and declare war to the town. As they left, I sat there thinking about what to do. Jinyoung came to join me "She can't declare war as Japan has a treaty with us. Her mother can though if she voids it but I doubt it" he said.

Still, by cutting off all the profitable goods to Japan. Their kingdom can attack us as they don't get what the treaty as stated. Putting my hands through my hair, my mind was clouded. I trusted her with everything I had and now this. I hope Hobi has some good news...
