3 days later...

I close my bedroom door, lying down onto my soft mattress against my stomach, I open the wax seal as I unfold the letter that was addressed and delivered to me. It was addressed Hoseoks palace so it got me excited.

I open the letter and start to read...

Dear Y/n,

Your letter arrived Just in time. I was going to be stuck in a room with snobby women for the whole evening but the butler came in with your letter. Hoseok has been busy with foreign business, leaving me alone most of the day to talk to his council.

The only company I get is from the maids and my personal maid, she is called Amy, I wish you could be my personal maid so you could live here with us and I would have company but I can tell that the head of the maids is very snobby, Amy complains that she should be retired but wont because she is greedy for money.

I see you are getting closer to Taehyung, so I suppose he isn't as bad as we thought? I will send you some pretty dresses for when he invites you to his castle, please tell me the news on Mingyu, I don't like him but I cant help but feel sorry for his eomma.

Love, Wendy xoxo

I place the letter on dressing table, walking over to my bed, deciding to get ready to go to bed.

Mid-day, the next day...

"Miss Y/n, a palace guard is at the door, he says that prince Taehyung has invited you his palace for the evening"

I smile, looking over at my parents who have shocked expressions on their faces, I wait for the nod of approval before fetching my cloak and leaving to the front door. I look at the guard, smiling nervously, the chief guard from the time I talked back to him.

"Miss, we have taken a horse for you, r would you prefer a carriage?"

I look at him shaking my head as a no, who would want to be cooped up into a carriage on such a nice day.  He nods and helps me up onto the horse as we leave, making our way through the streets, towards the palace.

I smile, walking through the palace halls, I walk beside a friendly butler. He walks me into to a flight of stairs, I stop seeing one of the older maids from the kitchen, struggling to pick up her cleaning supplies, I look around and see two guards walking through the hall, they glance at the maid and continue walking. How rude! I walk over towards the maid, picking up her cleaning supplies, smiling at her. She looks behind me,  she quickly smiles and bows, thanking me before walking away.

 I look behind me at the butler, my eyes diverting to the voice from the stairs, I see Taehyung, calling the butler, to get the two guards who just walked past and give them extra duties for not helping the woman.

He looks at me, locking eyes as the butler walks away, he makes his way towards me, holding out his hand, I take it, not knowing why. Leaning down, he kisses it, flustering me. Standing back up he smiles at me, I do a small curtsy.

"Walk with me?"

He asks, holding out his arm, I take it. we walk along the halls, most of them I probably haven't seen before. He explains how he was a little frustrated with business at the moment and I lightened his mood by coming here.
