Metanoia

Chapter 21

The Princes Birthday

(Unedited for now sorry)

A full week flew by, the castle in full swing party preparation mode. The servants spent hours shining the marble floors, polishing the best silverware, dusting the finest tapestry's. They worked relentlessly with a smile, the young princes birthday always being a favoured holiday of the Kingdom.

Everyone prepared the food and decorations, but most importantly, the gifts!
The Princes secret lover has his gift ready, with the help of Yoongi.
The Princes brother had his gift read, with the help of Yoongi.
The Princes brother, the King, was almost ready, with the help of Yoongi...

The witch sat alone in the garden connected to the late King and Queens bedroom, laying on the soft grass, staring at the sunlight that shone through the gaps between the heavy foliage surrounding him.
Three weeks ago is when he was first introduced to this small patch of heaven, although it was less than so at the time. He could still see the Kings adorable face as he shyly asked for the witches help.

As said Kings face flashed in his mind, Yoongi couldn't help but groan, and blush. It'd been only six days since Namjoon had confessed to him, only three steps away from where he currently lay. The pair had agreed to give the little witch time to think, and think he did. He couldn't stop thinking.

His mind ran around in circles, endlessly searching for an answer, or more like a solution.
He had decided that he did, 100%, matter of factory have a crush on the tall King. He decided that, 100%, matter of fact my, that he wanted to perhaps be with said King, in whatever way you interpret.
He decided 100%, matter of fact my, that he was terrified of what comes next.

Sitting up Yoongi sighed, reaching to lightly stroke the gentle petal of the lilies that grew beside him.
Relationships weren't simple for his kind, much less so for human-witch relationships. As much as humans were welcome back in Anemone, this was still a somewhat looked down upon exchange.

Humans can confuse the bloodline of a coven, and as Yoongi was a part of his kingdoms largest convention, he could only imagine the apprehension he would face if he returned with a human on his side.
And that was only his home he thought of

Namjoon was a king, a king of a kingdom which detested his kind, he couldn't imagine a world in which they would welcome him with open arms.
As far as Jimin had explained to him months ago about royals x commoner relationships, they weren't legal in any way.

Was Yoongi willing to try his hand at love at the risk of not only losing everything himself, but everything for Namjoon? Did the daft King even understand these risks?

Yoongi spent all morning in the garden, spending the day alone as Sunny was moving into her own cottage on the village centre, this giving Yoongi the day off. Standing and making some final touches to the finished garden, Yoongis mind fell to the other problem at hand; Taehyung gift.
He knew what everyone else had gotten him, as he was somewhat involved in almost everyone's gift already, yet he himself was yet to chose what to give the kind faced Prince.

He wanted to do something special for the prince, something he wouldn't forget.
Yet he was fresh out of ideas. Everybody else gifts were perfect, and the perfectionist on Yoongi made him want to give up before he even tried.

He decided to visit Nephele, stroking the azure dragons scales as she purred in content.
"Shall we go on an adventure?" He coped to the baby dragon, laughing as she quickly stood and clapped her wings in excitement.

Nephele wasn't high maintenance in the slightest, but as an air dragon, she needed to be in the air.
Yoongi needed it too.

He had spent almost two years travelling from kingdom to kingdom with Nephele, being settled in Aithne for so long now... how long?
