Chapter Twelve

After we told King Na about the situation, he was fuming. He personally checked all his soldiers and servants, even the guests. He demanded that the culprit must reveal themselves or else he shall charge them with instant death if he found out later. Queen Na was terrified at the thought of even having an enemy in the castle— her own home. The Chinese Princes were made to smell the food before we all began to eat, just to make sure that it wasn't poisoned.

I was taking a bath and after I finished and dressed up, I noticed a letter on my bed. I took the letter and read it.

You have managed to escape from drinking the poisoned tea, but if you think that's all I will do, you are wrong. If you do not leave this Kingdom by the next three days, I shall not hesitate to kill you.

I sighed. What have I even done to this person that they want me dead? I will admit, I was scared.

There's was a knock at my door.

"Come in!" I said. The door opened revealing Mark and Yukhei.

"Hey, why do you look so pale?" Yukhei asked as they approached me.

"What's that in your hand?" Mark asked.

"Someone came into my room while I was showering and left this on my bed," I said as I handed him the letter and both of them read it. Their expressions turned cold.

"I think I should just leave—"

"No! You aren't going anywhere," Mark said, cutting me off.

"He's right, we will protect you," Yukhei said. "We all will."

I smiled weakly.

Jaemin came into the room smiling, before he noticed our serious faces.

"What happened now?" He asked worriedly. Mark gave him the letter and told him that someone came into my room while I was showering. After he read it, he crumbled it and threw it on the floor.

"I'm going to sleep in your room, Princess," Jaemin said, making me blush. "If that's okay with Mark hyung."

"Yes, I allow it," Mark said, shocking me.

"What? How come you agreed?" I asked. Mark was always really overprotective of me.

"I trust Nana," He said with a smile. "And it's for your protection."

I nodded as I hugged him. I was really blessed to have a brother like him.

"I won't let anyone hurt you okay?" Mark said as he hugged me back tightly.

"YES!" I yelled out as the arrow finally hit the target.

"You did it, Princess!" Jaemin said happily.

I was finally getting better at mounted archery. I got off my horse and ran into Jaemin's arms. He caught me and spun me around.

"I love you so much!" I said cheerfully, kissing his cheek. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Why are you thanking me, love?"

"I wouldn't have been able to hit the target if you hadn't trained me."

He chuckled and said, "Anything for my Princess."

"Anything?"

"Anything."

"Well, then," I said with a smirk. "Kiss me."

"Gladly," He grinned and leaned  down. He kissed me gently as his hands cupped my face. I love how his lips moved so perfectly with mine. Everything about him was perfect.

"Oh my eyes!" He heard Taeyong say from behind us, causing us to break the kiss.

Yuta smacked the back of his head and said, "You just ruined the show."

"Our Nana has become a man," Donghyuck teased, causing Jaemin to roll his eyes.

"And you haven't," Jaemin said, leaving Hyuck dumbfounded as we all laughed.
