The wind whistled along the slightly agape window as the prince sat on his chair looking at jongdae trying to fix it with all the short guy has got.

,, for gods sake what are you doing ?"

Jongdae stopped freezing in his spot for which he had pulled a chair closer to stand on some old books he had added to it aswell.

,, I'm sorry I was just trying to-"
Jongin stood up as his voice trailed off and walked closer to the servant taking the tool out of his hand and urging him to get off the chair as he took one of the old books in hand and stepped onto the chair.

He placed the heavy book before the constantly opening window, keeping it close this way, before he stepped back down to look at jongdae who smiled apologetic,, I cant concentrate with your struggles "

,, forgive me " he cough awkwardly and jongin flicked his servants forehead smirking evily before sitting back down to open the book he had been reading.

,, useless"
Jongdae ended up just standing there rubbing the place on his forehead while jongin only burried himself in his book letting the servant stand in awkwardness again, folding his hands before him as he looked around.

Jongins eyes rose to look at him shifting in his stance awkwardly once more
,, I meant you should make yourself useful somewhere else " His eyes rolled as jongdae nodded smiling as he almost stumbled out of the room.

The prince sighed raising his book closer to him ,, useless " 

,, jongin "

,, what now?" He groaned letting his head fall back until he realized it was his uncle who had talked to him this time.

,, in this tone, something new again how about that " he stepped closer and jongin cleaned his throat instandly standing up when he dropped his book and quickly got down to pick it back up and hold in both hands embarrassed
,, sorry, uncle " 

His uncle only stepped closer with an eyebrow raised and a smirk on as he reached his hand out to look at the book jongin was holding.
,, a Roman... again ?"

,, dont tell father " he sighed ,, its actually interessting too the protagonist has an illness that-"
,, you dont have to worry about me jongin" he chuckled ,, I think we've acted formal enough in front of the guards and servants.. "

Jongin nodded smiling to himself while his uncle looked around to let his eyes wander up and at the window with the book placed before it.
,, ah you do have such a poor choice in people, it's a useless servant. The boy almost ran into me just moments ago"

,, I think I chose him more for the amusement than for the use. " his uncled nodded understanding looking around again.

,, one of my best man has chosen new servants to represent our castle to our guests.. do you want to have a look at them too "

Jongin only shock his head as he put the book back ,, I still dont understand how a pretty face could make up for useless hands in these occasions "

His uncle chuckled walking back to the door ,, you dont have to understand jongin trust me sometimes I  dont understand myself but these are the basics to rule a healthy kingdom"
