Yoongi walks out of the room after spending his first royal night with Jin. Jin is still sleeping. Yoongi walks to the royal wardrobe and holds the red robe of the late king, with the huge golden dragons plating on his shoulder. He looks at it. "I can't believe I get to wear this..." He claps his hands and the servants come in to dress him. They notice the bite marks and bruises on his fair skin. And when they finish it up they see Yoongi's face up close with the full scar. Yoongi looks in the mirror and the scar is very prominent. He grins. Time for another shocker...

He walks into the throne room and sits on the throne. Namjoon is already present, fully in his official gown. Jungkook is present too. They are still waiting for Jin. Jin arrives, late and half dressed. Yoongi smirks. He can see a mark on Jin that he hasn't covered. Jungkook helps Jin to be well dressed and just in time for the other ministers to arrive. As the older ministers walk in, they don't see Yoongi's face yet, since there is a semi transparent veil between them. When everyone has gathered, Yoongi coughs and gets up. He walks past the veil and a gasp moves around the room. They are all looking at the bright pink scar that runs over his eye. "T-the k-king has a scar! That's impossible! Kings can't have scars!" 1 of the ministers speaks out in amazement and shock. Some others are nodding too. Namjoon, who is walking next to Yoongi looks at the ministers and rolls eyes. Don't they ever learn, Yoongi isn't your standard run out of the mill king. Jimin looks next to minister Kim, but can't see his father at court. Is he sick? Too bad, I wanted to gloat a bit. He crosses gaze with Namjoon, who has been avoiding his gaze for a while now. "Any more comments on what a king can or cannot have? I wasn't born on the throne, I got it fair and square because I have what it takes to be a king. With or without a scar, it doesn't change the fact I was chosen. So if you have a problem with that, take it to the people. But if you do so, I will cut you down, since I am a king that wants to protect the people."

"But it isn't right!" The guy tries to make his point once more. Yoongi, who walked off grabs the sword of Namjoon out of his sheet and before Namjoon could react, Yoongi had already slashed the man, who fell on the ground slowly, right in front of Yoongi, bleeding. Yoongi's face has a splatter or 3, and the blood is touching his wooden sandals. The whole room has a wave of panic going through them, even his 7 friends are shocked and gasp. "I want to try to be both. I will be a king that is doing his job for his people, but I also will be feared at the same time. Let this make it clear for all of you." And he points the blood dripping swords around to all of them. Somehow Jin can't stop the nibbling in the back of his brain again. He can't help but feel it's an omen to what is coming. A sign of what kind of king and reign there will be. Love and blood. The other 6 are unsettled too.

They are having a personal meeting in the afternoon, just him and the  7 people he trusts the most. Jungkook brings forth a point that is linked with being throned. Marriage. Yoongi looks around the room, and they all seem to agree, even Jin, altho Jin is not making eye contact with anyone. "I am in love already. I want to be with Seokjin." Everyone is shocked, since only Jimin and Jungkook have outed themselves. They had no idea about Yoongi and Jin being a couple. "T-that's something else... but we can't oversee it. Unfortunately we will need to find a good wife for you.

Sa Rah speaks up. "I think it's bullshit that you have to marry the king. I was once selected for the royal wedding too, I was barely 10! I had no choice. Thank god I wasn't picked, but it is bullshit that ever since you been throned, all young, unmarried girls have a marriage ban. As minister of Female welfare that is one of the first points I want to change." Yoongi nods. "Very well, I don't care about getting a female consort anyway." "But that doesn't take away you need a queen. The people expect this. They want certainty. If you produce offspring, chances are when you die that there will be no unrest or disharmony in the kingdom. The people like peace." Jungkook says. They all nod. "I also feel sorry for the woman that is going to marry you. She will probably live a loveless life and wither away. Unless she finds a lover of course. But she will need to carry your offspring." Jimin adds. "So I rather settle with someone I know, someone that also understands, someone who will marry me even tho she won't receive love from me. Someone who can also keep the secret of me and Jin and accept it." He suddenly looks at Sa Rah. "You wanted to become ruler, right? What do you think? Would you like to take the position of queen? Under those conditions of course. I think you would make a great counterpart to my kind of king I want to be. We both want to change and shake up the system, don't we?" Sa Rah is thinking. Hoseok looks at her. Seriously? Are you seriously contemplating this? "I will think about it." Hoseok's jaw drops. "I am guessing you and Hoseok haven't done it yet, right? I would like to ask of you to keep it that way. I will need the blood as proof." Yoongi calmly says. Hoseok's eyes grow wide. He wants to speak up but is still shocked that his love is taking the position in consideration. Sa Rah is blushing when he asked her if she and Hoseok already did it. "Please don't look like that at me, Hoseok ah." Yoongi says to Hoseok. "I am giving her the freedom of choice. I could easily command her but I respect Sa Rah too much for that." Jin is also staring at Sa Rah. She can't be serious about this? Yoongi is mine... "Your family will be finally climbing up by it too." Sa Rah bites her lip. "I'll agree. I'll become your wife, in title only." Hoseok gets up and walks out of the room. Sa Rah looks at his back disappearing. I'm sorry my love, but I really wanted that position... You must understand me...I have to take this chance...
