The figure stepped forward, revealing a shocking identity - it was Taehyung's long-lost father, King Joon.

"Father?" Taehyung's voice trembled with shock. "But you're... you're supposed to be dead."

Joon's eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry, Taehyung. I had to fake my own death to protect you and our kingdom. Your mother's ambition knew no bounds."

Jeongyeon's face twisted in rage. "You fool, Joon! You'll never stop me!"

Joon's expression turned stern. "I won't let you destroy our kingdom, Jeongyeon. You're finished."

With a nod, Jungkook and the soldiers moved to apprehend Jeongyeon and Haneoul. But just as they thought it was over, Haneoul pulled out a dagger and lunged at Min-soo.

In a flash, Jin pushed Min-soo aside and took the blow himself. Min-soo's eyes widened in horror as Jin fell to the ground, the dagger lodged in his chest.

"Jin hyung!" Min-soo screamed, rushing to his side.

Taehyung's face went white with rage. "Haneoul, you'll pay for this!"

But as he raised his sword, Joon stayed his hand. "No, Taehyung. Let the law handle it. We'll bring them to justice."

As the scene ended, Min-soo held Jin's hand, tears streaming down his face. "Jin hyung, please... don't leave me."

Jin's eyes flickered open, a weak smile on his lips. "I'll... always be with you, Min-soo. Protect... the kingdom..."

And with that, Jin's eyes closed, leaving Min-soo and the others in a state of shock and grief.

After some time~

As Min-soo held Jin's hand, tears streaming down his face, Jin's eyes flickered open. "Min-soo... I'm sorry," Jin whispered, his voice weak.

Min-soo's face lit up with joy. "Jin hyung! You're alive!"

Just then, Taehyung approached, his expression relieved. "Jin, thank the heavens you're okay."

Jin struggled to sit up, wincing in pain. "What... what happened?"

Taehyung helped Jin up, explaining the situation. "We've apprehended Jeongyeon and Haneoul. But we need your help, Jin. We need to rebuild the kingdom and restore trust."

Jin nodded, determination in his eyes. "I'm in. But we'll need someone with a level head and strategic thinking to help us."

That's when you, the queen, entered the scene. "I'm happy to help," you said, your voice confident and authoritative.

Taehyung's eyes lit up with gratitude. "My queen, your timing is perfect. We need your expertise to navigate this crisis."

You smiled, your eyes sparkling with intelligence. "Let's get to work, then. We have a kingdom to save."

With your guidance, the group began to formulate a plan to restore the kingdom to its former glory. Jin, with his knowledge of the kingdom's inner workings, worked closely with you to identify key areas of improvement.

Min-soo, still shaken by Jin's close call, found comfort in your reassuring presence. "Thank you, Your Majesty," he said, his voice filled with gratitude.

You placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "We're in this together, Min-soo. We'll rebuild this kingdom, stronger than ever."

As the scene ended, the group stood united, ready to face the challenges ahead, with you, the queen, at the helm.

The next morning ~

You, Queen Y/N, stood tall, surveying the room. "First, we need to address the immediate concerns. Jin, how's your health?"

Jin nodded, still a bit pale. "I'll be fine, Your Majesty. Just a minor wound."

You nodded, turning to Taehyung. "King Taehyung, please ensure Jin receives proper medical attention. Min-soo, you're with me. We need to assess the damage and create a plan to restore order."

Min-soo nodded, following you as you strode out of the warehouse.

As you walked, you asked Min-soo, "What's the current state of the kingdom? How many soldiers are loyal to us?"

Min-soo hesitated. "Honestly, Your Majesty, I'm not sure. Jeongyeon had many supporters."

You nodded thoughtfully. "We'll need to identify our allies and rally them. I want you to discreetly gather information and bring it to me."

Min-soo bowed. "Yes, Your Majesty."

You entered the palace, where your trusted advisors awaited. "We need a strategy to regain control and prevent further chaos," you declared.

With your guidance, the advisors began brainstorming solutions. You listened intently, your mind racing with ideas.

Suddenly, an idea struck you. "I have it! We'll hold an emergency council meeting, gathering all the nobles and military leaders. We'll address the situation, and I'll make a declaration to reassure the people and solidify our position."

The advisors nodded, impressed. "Brilliant, Your Majesty!"

With your plan in motion, the kingdom began to stabilize. You, Queen Y/N, had saved the day, proving yourself a wise and capable leader.
