"Your Majesty," a guard said, bowing low to the duplicate. "We've received reports of a suspicious person in the palace. We think it's the imposter Queen Y/N."

The duplicate's smile never wavered. "Ah, yes. I've been expecting her. Bring her to me."
Meanwhile, the real Queen Y/N was being led away in chains, confused and disbelieving.

"What's going on?" she demanded. "I'm the queen!"

But no one listened. They all thought she was the imposter.

Jungkook, still unsure what to do, approached the duplicate. "You're not fooling anyone with this act," he said quietly.

The duplicate laughed. "Oh, but I already have. You're the only one who still doubts me."

Jungkook's eyes narrowed. "I won't let you get away with this."

The duplicate smiled sweetly. "We'll see about that, Jungkook. Guards, take him away."

As Jungkook was dragged off, he saw the real Queen Y/N being thrown into a dark cell.

"This can't be happening," he muttered to himself.

But it was happening. The duplicate had taken over the palace, and no one suspected a thing.

Or so she thought.

Minister Jin crept through the shadows, his eyes fixed on the duplicate. "Soon," he whispered to himself. "I'll expose you soon."

Meanwhile, in the dungeon, Jungkook paced back and forth in his cell, his mind racing. "How did it come to this?" he muttered.

Suddenly, he heard a faint whisper from the cell opposite his. "Jungkook?"

He rushed to the bars, peering into the darkness. "Queen Y/N? Is that you?"

The real Queen Y/N nodded, her eyes shining with tears. "I was so blind. I trusted her."

Jungkook's grip on the bars tightened. "We'll get out of here. I promise."

Queen Y/N's voice was barely audible. "I'm scared, Jungkook. What if no one believes us?"

Jungkook's face set in determination. "I'll make them believe. I'll expose her for the imposter she is."

As they spoke, the duplicate watched from the shadows, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Not yet, Jungkook. Not yet."

But Minister Jin was closing in. He had discovered a crucial piece of evidence, one that would reveal the duplicate's true identity.

And in the cells, Jungkook and Queen Y/N continued to whisper plans of escape and revenge, their voices barely audible, but full of determination.

"We'll take back the palace," Jungkook vowed. "We'll take back our lives."

Queen Y/N's eyes shone with tears. "Together, we can do it."

The duplicate's smile faltered, just for a moment. But she quickly regained her composure. "Not yet," she whispered again. "Not yet.".

In the shadows, Minister Jin watched with a keen eye, waiting for the perfect moment to strike...

Minister Jin approached the duplicate, a calm smile on his face. "Your Majesty, I need to speak with you about some discrepancies in the palace accounts."

The duplicate raised an eyebrow. "Discrepancies? I wasn't aware of any."

Minister Jin's smile grew wider. "Oh, yes. It seems there's been a large transfer of funds to an unknown entity. Care to explain?"

The duplicate's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. "I... uh... must have forgotten. It was probably a charity donation."

Minister Jin's eyes narrowed. "A charity donation? Without any records or documentation? I think not, Your Majesty."

Jungkook and Queen Y/N watched from their cells, their hearts racing with excitement.

"Is he onto her?" Queen Y/N whispered.

Jungkook nodded. "I think so. Let's hope he exposes her soon."

Just then, Minister Jin's voice rose in anger. "You're not the queen! You're an imposter!"

The duplicate's smile grew cold. "Guards, take him away."

But it was too late. Minister Jin had already revealed the truth. The palace guards hesitated, unsure what to do.

"Arrest her!" Jungkook shouted, rattling his cell bars.

The guards moved forward, surrounding the duplicate.

"It's over," Queen Y/N said, a smile spreading across her face.

But the duplicate just laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You'll never win," she spat, before being dragged away.

As the duplicate was dragged away, Minister Jin approached the cells. "Your Majesty, I'm so sorry it took me so long to realize the truth."

Queen Y/N smiled, relief washing over her face. "Thank you, Minister Jin. We owe you one."

Jungkook nodded in agreement. "Yes, thank you. We need to get out of here and take back the palace."

Minister Jin nodded. "Agreed. But first, we need to make sure the duplicate doesn't have any other tricks up her sleeve."

Queen Y/N's eyes narrowed. "I want to know who created her and why."

Minister Jin's expression turned grim. "I think I can help with that. I've discovered some evidence that points to a surprising culprit."

Jungkook's eyes widened. "Who is it?"

Minister Jin hesitated. "I think it's best if we discuss this in a safer location. Let's get you both out of here first."

As they made their way out of the dungeon, Queen Y/N turned to Jungkook. "What do you think Minister Jin discovered?"

Jungkook shrugged. "I don't know, but I have a feeling it's going to be big."

Meanwhile, the duplicate was being taken to a secure cell, her smile still plastered on her face.

"This isn't over," she whispered to the guards. "I have a plan..."

But for now, she was trapped. The question was, for how long?

As they reached the safety of Minister Jin's quarters, Queen Y/N turned to him. "Now, tell us what you've discovered."

Minister Jin hesitated, collecting his thoughts. "It seems that the duplicate was created by a dark force, one that wanted to take control of the palace."

Jungkook's eyes widened in shock. "What? But who's behind it?"

Minister Jin's expression was grim. "I'm not entirely sure, but I have reason to believe it's connected to an ancient cult that's been thought to be long extinct."

Queen Y/N's eyes narrowed. "And where is King Taehyung? He needs to know about this."

Minister Jin's face turned concerned. "I've tried to reach him, but he's been unreachable. He was last seen heading to the ancient ruins to investigate a lead on the cult."

Jungkook's face set in determination. "We need to find him. Now. He's the only one who can help us take down this cult."

Queen Y/N nodded. "Agreed. Let's gather a team and head to the ruins. We need to make sure he's safe."

Meanwhile, King Taehyung was indeed at the ancient ruins, searching for clues on the cult. He was deep in thought, his mind racing with possibilities, when he heard a faint noise behind him...

"Taehyung," a soft voice whispered.

He turned to see Queen Y/N and Jungkook approaching him, their faces filled with concern.

"Y/N! Jungkook! What are you doing here?" he asked, relief washing over him.

Queen Y/N rushed to his side. "We were worried sick about you. We need to talk."

King Taehyung's face lit up with a warm smile as he embraced Queen Y/N. "I'm glad you're here. I've found some disturbing clues about the cult."

Jungkook's eyes narrowed. "What kind of clues?"

King Taehyung's expression turned serious. "I think they're planning a dark ritual to summon an ancient power. And I think the duplicate is just a small part of their plan."

Queen Y/N's eyes widened. "That sounds terrifying. We need to stop them."

King Taehyung nodded. "Agreed. But we need to be careful. We don't know what we're up against."

Jungkook's face set in determination. "We'll figure it out. Together."

As they spoke, they heard a faint rustling in the bushes nearby. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows.

"Ah, perfect timing," the figure said, its voice dripping with malice. "I see the little lovebirds are reunited."

Queen Y/N's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?"

The figure smiled, revealing a twisted grin. "I'm just a humble servant of the cult. And I'm here to deliver a message."

King Taehyung's eyes flashed with anger. "What message?"

The figure chuckled. "The cult leader wants to meet with you, Your Majesties. Alone."

Jungkook's eyes narrowed. "I don't think so."

But Queen Y/N's expression turned thoughtful. "Wait. This could be an opportunity. Let's hear what they have to say."
