Chapter 05: Destroy them

August, 26, 1900

Minju's POV

After meeting that princess prodigy. I suddenly want to do something. Luckily, I was born smart, unlike her. She doesn't know a thing about anything. And since I was born smart, I already conducted a perfect fool proof plan.

I'm waiting for the perfect timing, to go into Beomgyu's Office, since I obviously cannot just barge in it. I'm just standing in front of it, anxiously waiting for my time to shine, in the spotlight once again.

Since, that girl ruined it. All of it.

After a few couple of minutes, passed by. I can finally go into his office without anybody, disturbing us. I knocked two times, to let him know that somebody was here.

"Who is it?" I heard him ask, through the door.

"It's Minju..." I said, answering his question.

"Oh. Come in." He said, hinting it a bit of disappointment in his voice.

I slowly opened the door and peeked a bit before completely going inside the room. To just see him, all alone in the room. I was confused but at the same time, I was happy.

'Isn't he should be with those two stupid bodyguards of his?' I thought.

'But, then again if that was the case, I can't have him all to myself.' I thought, again and wickedly smiled inside my head.

"Beomgyu? Where are Yeji eonni and Yeonjun oppa?" I asked him, while looking around. Fake.

"Shouldn't you be somewhere else, right now? Minju?" He asked me back, while looking at me coldly.

"Oh. About that, I just thought that it was a bit odd... That the girl I fought with earlier today-." I said, but got cut off.

"You mean Ryujin? Right?" He asked me, looking curious. Which, I just nodded my head.

"You know me; I can't memorize names with one hearing..." I said, and shyly smiled.

But, the truth is that I memorized her name, quicker than anything else. Because, she can't be one of my friends.

"Yeah..." he said, while looking back at his paper work.

We became kind of awkward then, since he doesn't even pay attention to me. But, to that girl he pays so much attention! Just what kind of princess is she?!

I heard him cough, and that made me look at him. "So, what about her?" He asked me, while still doing his paperwork.

"It's just she knows a lot of things, that I don't know maybe you taught her some of your moves?" I asked him, while going behind him.

"Uh, yeah. No. I didn't teach her anything, to think about it, we haven't spoken in days. Upon your arrival. I guess we both must've been busy with everything that's been going on." He said.

"Then who did?" I asked him, investigating her.

"Well, she did say that somebody taught her, but none of us taught her. So, I guess it must've been somebody outside our kingdom. Since, she isn't really from here." He said, still focused on his paperwork.

"Really? And here I thought all the borders were already closed..." I said to him, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah... But, I owe her and her friend back then. And they just wanted to do something here. So, why not just return her the favor?" He said, still not paying any attention to me.

'See? He's already busy. He can't have his eyes on her twenty-four seven...' I thought.

"Uh, yeah... So, you didn't really notice it?" I asked him.

"Notice what?" He asked me back, and then looked at me.

"She made me trip on my dress, a couple of times, but then the last one was the one that made me actually lose to her." I said, making a fake excuse, and looked down, to make it more realistic. Lies. A perfect way to ruin their relationship.

"How is that even possible? She was also in her own gown; wouldn't that make her trip as well?" He asked, while having an eyebrow raised at me.

"I-I don't know... But, I know that I felt a leg, and it made me trip." I said, stuttering the first part out of my mouth.

Since, I didn't know that he actually trusts that little attention seeker. I can't believe him; he'll believe that girl more than his own childhood friend? The one that he grew up with?

"Um, okay? I'll just ask her... about it." He said, before completely turning his attention back to his paperwork.

"If that's all you want to say, you can leave now..." He started.

"As, you can see I still have a lot of things to do..." He said continuing off from his last statement.

'How rude of him?! How can he just forget everything that I did for him?!' I thought.

"Ah. How about we catch up with each other? Just like the old days? I mean we haven't seen each other in two years..." I said, instead of getting a straight out response from him.

He even thought about the answer. He released a sigh, before answering my question. "Sorry, Minju... I'm going to be busy for the next couple of days, with all the royalties here that I have to accommodate and talk to. I don't think I can." He said, politely denying my invitation to him.

I let out a little smile; I bid my farewells to him, and went over to the door. After that not so good of a talk, with him. I quickly left the place, just to have bumped into Hyunjin. Or should I say, Prince Hyunjin?

Since, he bumped into me shouldn't he help me up? I looked at him, clearly irritated with him, and his attitude. While, he just plainly stared at me. Well, not actually plainly it was a cold stare. As of he was threatening me, or something.

I quickly stood up, being the independent princess that I am, or should be. I dusted off my dress, since I am very much capable of doing that on my own. I looked at him, in disgust before shrugging him off.

I left the scene, walking away. But, not before smiling in victory, since there was nobody there, I muttered something underneath my breath.

"Mark, my words Beomgyu... You will be mine and mine alone. You know me very well, ever since we were little kids, I get what I want."
