The Slytherin King || KTH✔

Eleven

You haven't seen Jimin since morning. Some maids prepared bath for you today. After a quick shower as you leave the bathroom in a comfortable long cloak with your hairs dripping wet making the back of your cloak damp, you find his grandmother already in your room.

"Queen what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in King's room?" She questions. You gulp, your all words suddenly disappear leaving your vocabulary blank.

"I, I came here for bath." You lie, not couraging up to tell her the truth. The past one month made two of you close and to be precise you've grown attached to her. You know very well how much she love the king and was excited for his marriage even though you never once saw taehyung talking sweetly with her. Whatever it was, you couldn't tell her the truth, it'll break her. She didn't deserve to know the truth. You think acknowledging how a sweet and kind soul she's.

"You should bath in his room now. I'll tell the servants to move your luggage to King's room." Her words make you gulp again. Leaving in the same room as him, you can't even imagine what may happen.

"Queen, we need to perform some rituals. Get ready into this." She softly speaks. You nod and glance at the maids entering inside the room at her sign. They had their hands stocked with clothes and boxes of accessories.

"Here's your new makeup artist." She beckons to the door.

New makeup artist?

What happen to Jimin?

And there you witness a tall man entering the room. He looks younger than you as you guess from his visuals.

"Accept my regards Slytherin Empress, I'm Jeon Jungkook. I'll be doing your makeup from now on." He smiles, his teeth showing which look not much different from those of rabbits you feed in the garden.

"It's nice to meet you Jungkook." You smile back and it catches him off guard. He's not used to such sweetness of the owner. He's accustomed of nagging, scolding and taunting by the owner but not to such a generous reply. It's probably the very first time he has met someone like you.

"No, no queen, Pleasure is all mine." He stutters, smiling widely and you can tell he's a living bunny. You find him adorable.

His grandmother leaves the room after telling you once again to change into the clothes and accessories she has brought. All the outfits are mesmerising. Perplexed, you ask Jungkook to chose the outfit for you. He sheepishly chooses one which you later wear for the ceremony.

As Jungkook begin to comb your hair, you couldn't help but think about Jimin. Where's he? This question bothers you the most. You look at Jungkook's reflection into mirror. Maybe he know something.

"Jungkook. Do you by any chance know Jimin. Jimin, the makeup artist?" You ask, hoping for them to be colleagues for their professions are same.

"Yes queen. I know Jimin hyung. We both live in the same inn, but not anymore." He whispers the last part with utter gloominess in his voice but you hear it. Now you become even more curious.

"Not anymore?!"

"Jimin hyung left the palace. Infact he left this country." He informs. You can tell how close they must have been that Jungkook gets near on the verge of tears as he replies. But you couldn't stop yourself from asking even more.

"When?!"

"Today."

"But why?!"

"The King ordered him to." A tear escape his eye which he have been fighting back for so long. You forciblu shut your mouth although you have a lot of questions wrecking your mind but choose not to ask anything anymore.

"I'm sorry." You apologise for being selfish and continue questioning him even though you have captured the emotional state of his face as he mentions Jimin leaving the country. Indeed, you are now upset too. Jimin was the only one you had to rely on. He has never tried to get to know your past. He is one of those rare persons who exactly know how to listen to people. Others complement and present their opinion but he would listen silently. He has been your comfort place. He was calm. At the thought of him, now few droplets cascade down your cheeks.

"You don't need to apologise, Queen. I'm I'm sorry queen did I do something? Do you not like my makeup. Please don't cry. I'll try to improve. I swear I'll work hard. I'm sorry I'm not perfect as my hyung but I swear I'll try my best--

"Hush Jungkook. You talk so much." You stop his train of words and chuckle at his adorableness before wiping away your tears. Jungkook who nearly had a heart attack and panicked so badly watching you cry heaves a long sigh of relief.

"You are as good as your hyung." You compliment him. He gets flustered before you order him to continue his work for you don't wish to get late.

You and The King walk right beside each other before joining the royal priest by his side. Only a few persons are present. His grandmother, the king, the priest and you along with some of the servants.

"The Slytherins has its own rituals and traditions according to which The king and the queen alone needs to go to the ancient shrine situated in the dark forest. The stairs will lead you to the shrine but the king needs to lift queen in his arms and ascend the stairs. There you'll meet a patron who'll read your marriage vows and yes there you need to remarry, in front of the almighty God, in one of the ancient slytherin shrine." The priest solemnly proclaims out, maintaining his grave aura.

"And one more thing, you can't use magic there. You need to complete the rituals properly. Hand me your wands." The priest extends out his palm where you both place your wands in.

"No servant will go with the King. Begin your journey from here." That's priest orders before Taehyung lifts you up in his arms, tightens his grip around your back and thighs, turns around and walks out of the chamber.
