"May you long live, The Great King, the only emperor of this Kingdom, Min Yoo-"

"You can't just casually take our highness name from your mouth King of Siam" The head of Royal knights , Bae San, Reminded him with his head held high.

The king of siam greeted his teeths out of the boiling rage for the person who interrupted him. He was having a heavy urge to kill the person instantly but he couldn't because.....it was not the right time. "You! A LOWLY BEIN-"

"King Paresat!" The throne owner barked making him back his hand off from his sword. "I'm sorry in behalf of my people's warning though you should really be careful from onwards" the King Min nonchalantly said, not even hiding his smirk.

'Soon I will wipe that smirk from your face, Min Yoongi. Just wait...' he thought to himself before covering the boiling anger inside of him with a fake genuine smile.  "So have you thought about the marriage proposal I gave you earlier this month? Is the answer yes?" Desperation was clear in his voice while Yoongi fell into a deep thinking.

Even though he's the king, Kim seokjin, knowing the person he was pretty sure he won't agree.
But he was well aware that How much of a fox The Siam's King, paresat is. He would surely attack in their kingdom with the help of others and Yoongi surely doesn't want any violance in his home land.

Yoongi sighed before nodding him. "I, the king of Goryo, promise you the King of siam, Paresat Manoban that at any cost your daughter will marry the oldest prince of our kingdom. Kim seokjin."

A cheeky yet evil smile lingered upon the other king's face as he chimmed in joy," One more request!" Yoongi just raised his eyebrow. "I want my daughter to observe your beautiful land before she became a resident of this place. Can she....?"

Yoongi's face became gloomy though he nodded. "Sure. Did she came here with you?"

"Our Generous king is so intelligent! Yes, she did." And just then two maids brought in a beautiful woman in sight. Yoongi offered them a faint grin which wasn't even seen real.

Though like his dad the woman wasn't so happy. She was wearing their traditional wear.

"My daughter, Pranpriya Manoban." He smirked while announcing while Yoongi sat there in silence finding him suspicious though he just sighed.

"I can grant you and your daughter to spend as much time as you want in our palace but don't do something that would offend me or my people. Oh! And San will guide you to your room and protect your daughter until the day of her marriage with our older prince." The king announced before dismissing the meeting with king of siam.

"But baba-"

"If you again spoke a word against me then-"

"I DON'T WANT THIS MARRIAGE!" Tears streamed down from her eyes. "I want to protect my own kingdom. I didn't learn swordsman ship for this day father, I want to become a sold-"

"NO!" He said with a glare. "You dare to raise your voice on me? On your FATHER?" And like that a hard slap landed upon priya's cheeks making her land on the floor. But the greedy man won't just stop there. He took a hand full of her hair before pulling her up. "If you don't marry him you will just have to die, my darling. You're the only key for me to win over this Kingdom of goryeo. This marriage of yours is just an excuse for me to take over this kingdom. You're just a toy for me and you dare to deny me?" He pulled her hair more tightly and harshly making her scream.

Just then someone dashed inside their room in a hurry. "Are you fucking out of your mind?" The guy in her twenties looked at them with the look of disbelief. "Her screams are echoing through the halls of our castle."

"Prince kim!" He blurted in joy before getting up and pulling him into a hug. "I'm glad that you're willing to help us in my plan. I'm grateful to you."

"I'm grateful to you too, King paresat. Afterall.... I can finally give the throne my mom always dreamt of" Taehyung smirked before hugging him back.

Stepping inside the room of the King, Myeong slowly closed the door behind. She forgot to clean his room today as Lady kang   made her busy with too much work.

She tiptoed, trying to make no noise and do her job. She isn't sure how the King will scold her after knowing she didn't fulfilled her duty. So she decided to hurry and left before the king comes here.

Though....luck wasn't with her today.

"you're quite late aren't you?" A husky tone played in Myeong's ear making a cold sensation run down her spine. "You deserve to get punish-"

"I'M SORRY-" She immediately faced him which caused her to stand only few inches away from him. She didn't realised as she started to explain with her eyes closed,"I know what I've done isn't right but what could I have done You know how strict Lady Kang is right? I needed to done my work before coming here. I know you'd he angry your highness but I had no other choice, I really wanted to clean your room earl-"

Yoongi laughed and pulled Myeong's cheeks before walking past her.

"Huh!?" She stood their dumbfounded while a smile lingered in his face.

"Clean and leave then?"

"You are.....not going to punish me?" Joy took over Myeong though she wasn't really exposing that as she waited for Yoongi's response.

He looked back at her with furrowed eyebrows. "Why, you want me to?"

Myeong shook her head before starting to clean his room while Yoongi started to comb his hair.

Few minutes later when Myeong was done she looked back at Yoongi who was still combing his long hair. 'It's goryeo Dynasty obviously the royal people had long hair back then.'

"What are you looking at?" Yoongi spoke still combing his hair while Myeong flicnhed.

"I-I was just... thinking...."

"What were you exactly thinking?" He now put down the comb before standing tall infront of her.

"I-uhm-"

"Speak fast!" He sound demanding while she gulped.

"Iwasthinkingshorthairwillsuityou!" She spoke so fast that Yoongi couldn't really make out what she said. "I'M SORRY, YOUR HIGHNESS!" Myeong being flustered just apologized and ran away. While Yoongi was still trying to process what she said.

A smile formed upon his face when he find out.

"To all my dear working ladies, There is a good news for you all!" The head maif announced with a genuine smile which no one in the palace had ever seen. "There is a festival festival, that will soon took place in the whole Kingdom!"

Everyone yelled in joy including Myeong and I-Jun. They were glad that they could finally step outside the palace.

But the happiness didn't stayed for long.

"But a festival without any ocassion?" One of the maid asked while the head maid chuckled.

"Without ocassion? The oldest son of the king, Prince Seokjin is getting married with the foreign Kingdom, King Siam's daughter, Pranpriya ." The maid annouced while everyone, as expected, Cheered with happiness.

Some talked about how happy they were some were appreciating the princess beauty some talked about the greedy king of the kingdom.

But apart from them, two humans among them were in real shock.

"I-jun what is thi....." Myeong couldn't complete her sentence as she saw tears steamed down from her friends eyes. "I-JUN, what's wrong!?"

I-jun just silently cried with no emotions before she ran outside. Myeong followed her calling her name, no one noticed this except the head of all.

"I-jun...what is wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Myeong asked clueless to I-jun's sudden sorrowful act while I-jun kept crying without saying anything.

They were both were sitting beside eachother.

I-jun's head was buried in her joint thighs while Myeong stayed by her side caring her back. She was feeling extremly bad for her when she suddenly asked-

"I-jun.... are you somehow in love....with him?" I-jun's head was immediately snapped at Myeong with wide red eyes, her cheeks as pink as ever.

"W-whom?"

"His grace, Kim seokjin?" Myeong asked which only caused I-jun to let out a loud whimper. The silence from I-jun confirmed Myeong's doubt without any hesitation, I-jun is in love with the prince. Seokjin.

None of them said anything.

I-jun kept weeping while putting her head on Myeong's shoulder.

"I-jun!" She held I-jun's shoulder while looking at her red face. "What if I talk with his highness and request him to cancel this marr-"

"No need, Myeong." I-jun said while wiping away the tears. "Something between us was never possible in the first place."

Myeong's heart felt heavy at her friend's fragile side. She never witnessed this side of I-jun's before.

"I-jun!" They both titled their head to look at the person shouting. I-jun didn't took much time to recognise who's voice it was.

"Jin?" Both girls called out at the same time.
