Suspicions

♤°• Kingdom Solace •°◇

"Is there something you need to tell me?"
Yoongi speaks having my attention that was once with the soothing view of the garden we are seated in for family breakfast. I notice the maids cleaning up and it's just me and Yoongi seated now. Yoongi is the type to always read what I try the hardest to conceal.
"Don't you have to accompany father for the training?"

"You're dodging my question."
He speaks with a straight face indicating his seriousness.

"There is someone I met at the ball."

"Ooh lover boy?"

"Someone suspicious but of a royal status."
I cut him in between his teasing and he straightens his back at my words.

"And you're telling this me now because?"

"He saw something he shouldn't have."

"And what could that be?"

"Something I can't disclose to you for now."

"Well, I trust you on that. But how was this guy suspicious?"

"Too sugar coated words coming out of a serious aura person."

"A flirt?"

"No. He was keeping an eye on me and Jungkook. He could not just be a flirt. Daring he definitely was. Too much for a person of a royal status."

"I trust your judgment but what is it that is actually worrying you here?"

"I want to know who he is and why was he here."

"That's going to be a long hard work but you can check the guest list."

"I don't think that can help. I doubt he gave me his real name."

Yoongi's lips form an 'o' and he doesn't reply me after that.

"What do you think I should do?"

"Is what he knows something very serious?"

"It's personal."

"Give me his name and description, I'll look into it."

"I have his fake name that is Yeonghwan, other than that I have no description, it was a masquerade ball, Yoongi."

"10/10 on his cunningness I'd say. Still I'll look into anything I find suspicious. You should talk to Jungkook, it was his ball after all, he would know better."

I reply him with a 'hmm' only. I don't notice him getting up till he's beside me patting my shoulder,
"Don't worry, I'll have my detective work on this. You should seek Jungkook's help."

He then heads for his training. I have my class on political affairs in an hour, an hour till I also meet Jungkook. This one class that we share and Jungkook leaves no moment to pass cheesy comments to me. I can't share this concern to Jungkook because he for sure is not going to worry about our little moment being exposed. But my safety, of course that will have him on his toes. But just not yet, I'll have to see things on my own first.

Kingdom Fervour

"Your Majesty."
A man dressed in a formal attire bows in front of the king, the king motions him to straighten up and speaks,
"What brings you here Mr.Kim?"

"I had to talk about a serious matter, Your majesty that no one else can as wisely explain as I."

"I trust you on that, Mr.Kim. What is it about?"

"The water resources route of Kingdom Grandeur. My King-"

"Namjoon, I believe we should stop here."

"My King, I respect your statement but today the Kingdom I named to you isn't the one we know from years ago. And I believe in order to keep your position as a just king, you should listen to what I say."

"Okay. Say Namjoon."

"They have a treaty for us, something close to a peace treaty. And I am here to present it you and I want you to calmly read and think upon it, keeping aside other things."

"Namjoon I trust your intuition and judgment but with all due respect, I'd like you to disregard this matter here and now. The other things you mentioned are not mere other things and you and I both are very well aware of this."

"My King, if one needs a friend close then one has to keep the enemy closer too."

"I do not want to keep snakes in my pocket fantasizing they could be of any good. Namjoon, I do not expect such foolishness from you."

"My King, if I'm angering you, I apologize. But Kingdom Solace would never know and you'd not know how much benefit-"

"I believe you should stop now. End this here and now. No one outside this room of mine should know anything we discussed today. I want no little talk about Kingdom Grandeur in my Kingdom. That is my final decision as the king, Mr.Kim."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Then I must inform you, you should start preparing for a war, keeping in mind, the Grandeur today is nothing what we once knew of."
