First Love: A Heart Unknown

Chapter Six: Closer? Not!

"We will be holding this meeting as soon as possible" Taehyung spoke as he exited the room. Lola looked at Jin as he just shook his head. He's determined to find the person after Makenzie.

In the throne room sat Jin on what was once the kings throne, and underneath him sat Jimin and Taehyung.

"So why do we need to be here, your highness?̈" One of the men in the court said looking at all the other court members before staring back at the youngest prince.

"I want you guys to investigate the kings and that girls murder," Taehyung said.

Jimin stood up and looked at his half-brother, "Are you crazy! Why do we need to investigate that girls murder!" Jimin yelled at .

"Someone wanted Makenzie dead. I need to know who," Taehyung spoke, the look in his eyes showed his determination to find them.
Jin nodded to his brother and stood up from the throne. "Taehyung, if I may ask, what is your goal in the long road.¨

"My goal is to get my bride back." Taehyung left the conference room without another word.

Jin grinned and spoke up, "I want all of you to find information on everything that could lead up to this. We will meet back in a week. That is all."

Jimin nods and adds, "Who ever gives us no information, I will personally strip them of their rank."

As those words were spoken the men rushed out. In a few minutes the throne room was empty except Jimin and Jin.

"How do you trust them, Jin? They should know that I have no power to do such a thing." Jimin said cackling at the courts stupidity.

Jimin smiled faded, turning into a stern face filled with questions. ̈ "Your majesty, I do have a question. Who will you marry. There are no princesses."
Jin sighed and shook his head. "Who said I needed to marry a princess?"

Makenzie sat in her room and stared into space as she thought about her newfound life, "Miss Kayla.. You have a letter." A maid came in with a sealed letter from Prince Taehyung.

She opened the letter and read it, she sighed and smiled at how many times he used the word princess. He wanted to marry me this badly?
She stood up and went to Jungkook's room. "Prince Jungkook? Can we talk?"

No answer.

Slightly opening the door cautious to what she would find.

Jungkook was at his desk... Writing...

"Why are you here, m'lady." Jungkook asked, not taking his eyes off the paper.

Makenzie glanced at the paper before speaking. "I wanted to see if you would go on a walk with me."
He hummed before standing up and taking Makenzie's hand and walking out the door. As they walked through the hallways she could hear some of the maids voices "Look at her!" "Looks like he found a new hoe.." "What is a ugly girl like her doing with him?"

"Ignore them. They are not important." Jungkook said as he slid past everyone.

"How are you so calm with all of this?" She spoke as they slowed down in front of a calming yet beautiful garden

"After a while you get used to it. I'm sure you know, after all we were both born out of wedlock."
Makenzie nodded and sat down at a stone bench with purple flowers around it.

"I'm curious why the Prince of Arbeny wants to marry a bastard like you" Jungkook says as he pulled a few strands of hair away from her face.
"I ask myself the same, your highness"
Jungkook grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. Their lips connected.

Makenzie squeaked before pulling away and smacking Jungkook across the cheek. "How dare you!" She screamed.

Jungkook touched his lip then his cheek. He just smiled, "You taste good, thats why."

Makenzies face flushed in fiery red. "You do not know how to treat a woman! Why would anyone want to sleep with you!"

"Maybe it is because I'm good in bed" Jungkook spoke winking to Makenzie.

She stormed off having all eyes on her. She slammed the door to her room shut and sat at her small desk looking at the letter Jungkook wrote to her. She picked up a quill and dipped it in ink before writing.

Dear Taehyung,
I have heard your testimony and I have forgiven you. I have proven myself of Prince Taehyung's bad nature for women. However I cannot come back. Coming back would mean war. I would not put the life of a kingdom at risk because of love. My prince as much as my heart pains me to say. Forget me.
Your Princess,
Kayla

She sealed the letter and gave it to a messenger. Finally heading to bed for the night.

    Red hair rushes past Yoongi as he sat in the throne room. Yoongi just stared at the man not wanting to move from his throne. "Hoseok what has gotten you so excited." Yoongi states as the man with red hair stops running around. "Imjustsoexcitedyouknow!" he said so rapidly that Yoongi barely understood, "I love meeting people from other countries and I just can't wait for the ball." Hoseok spoke at an abnormal pace.

Yoongi nods "It will give a chance for Seokjin and Namjoon to meet."

"Is there any way to move it any closer?" Hoseok asks.

However Yoongi shakes his head, "Unfortunately not, Arbeny's previous king's death has caused commotion and the ball will not happen until someone can find the killer" Yoongi speaks as he gets up from his throne. "Go find Namjoon and tell him he needs to come up with a welcome speech for the ball." Hoseok leaves the room quickly to send the message.

His brother was all the way on the other side of the castle, in the library. Sitting by a candle light reading a novel of men with a taste for death, and three women who the men failed to kill. 

    "Brother! Yoongi has sent you an order! To create a welcome speech for the upcoming ball.¨ Namjoon puts the book down. "Has the killer been found?¨ Namjoon asked getting up from his seat. The candle light making his eyes glow.

    Hoseok shook his head, sighing. "No they have not" he spoke before making his exit.
