Five Kingdoms

Why...

"Why did you lie to them?" Jimin asks. Jimin sits on the bed in the room, looking over at Jo while she dries her hair. Jo sighs, walking closer to kneel beside the prince. "Christopher was- he was my boyfriend before, when I was much younger and I was in love him." Jo says with a nods. Jimin watches the girl for a moment, then looks over at the door. "But ultimately, I'm no royal and one day, my vision of him, changed. I guess it's okay to tell you.. Christopher pushed his father down the steps. R-right in front of me." Jo says blinking away tears, than wiping them quickly.

Jimin just listens, pouting a bit. "King Choi was like a father to me. My father was the pastry chef, he became ill last year and we didn't have the money for the medication that he needed, so Christopher has been financing it. What he did to the king though, he did that right in front of me. So, my vision of him being so handsome and amazing, changed, just like that. And I- Wait! My father.. do you think he's okay?" Jo asks looking at Jimin with wide eyes.

Jimin looks up at the girl. "I'm not sure. What I am sure of is, the Dominion neutralized a threat. We took the king, that means.. unless there is an heir, which there is not one listed anywhere. That kingdom will be placed under us as an ally." Jimin says with a nod. Jo pouts, nodding. "So, my father will be taken care of?" Jo asks moving closer. Jimin crosses his arms, thinking. "Was he in the royal family home? As you know, the home was mostly destroyed." Jimin says looking at the girl. Jo looks away, with a pink tint spread across her face.

"Uhm. He wasn't, he's in the royals medical wing at the hospital." Jo says with a small nod. Jimin eyes are drawn to the girl's lips, he looks away, quickly, blinking a few times. "Then, uh.. he should be there. I'm not sure about how everyone else was affected, but our people will check every structure in the kingdom. That better helps us to show the people in our new territory, who is in power." Jimin says looking up in thought.

"Oh, okay." Jo says looking down. Jimin takes his chance and looks at the girl, her long red hair, sun kissed skin and chocolate brown eyes, all contribute to the girls beauty, absolutely stunning. Jo looks up, opening her mouth to say something, but she stops and pouts, when she sees the prince look away quickly. "So, uh.. you said king Christopher was your boyfriend and that you were in love with him. How are you feeling, now?" Jimin asks biting his lower lip. Jo's eyes are drawn to the princes lip, she looks away quickly, looking up at the ceiling.

"A long time ago.. around nine years. I was only thirteen and didn't really know much. He was just.. he was so cool, but that doesn't really matter now, does it?" Jo asks with a sad smile. "When we leave here, you can stay with me." Jimin says with a smile. Jo's eyes widen, her face is now nearly red. "Wha- What?" Jo whispers, her voice barely audible.

"When we leave here. Jo, I want you to actually be my personal maid. I'll see to it, that your father is taken care of." Jimin says with a smile, his eyes turning into little crescents.
