AUTHOR'S POV

Today was the day everyone had been waiting for. Everyone was busy with their work as it was an important night, especially for Jungkook and Y/n.

The Emperor was going to officially announce their wedding to the heirs of other kingdoms. The grand dukes, nobles and important people were invited to the ball.

The hallways were filled with workers hurrying, to do their assigned tasks. Maids carried cloths and prepared dishes on the plates.

The palace was a lot more busier than it had always normally been. Everyone was lost in their turmoil and did not care about anything else at all.

The ballroom was getting decorated like a bride on her bridal morn. There were different corners for food, dancing and sitting.

The round tables were covered with white clothing consisting of bows, and matching chairs. The white colour was taken as an auspicious colour throughout the empire.

The place screamed elegance.

The servants prepared everything as the night approached.

In no time, it was evening.

Y/N'S POV

I felt my palms sweating as the maids wore the golden jewellery on my skin. The delicate and cold metal, touched my bare neck, sending a chill. It soon adjusted to my temperature.

I tapped my feet impatiently, constantly glancing at the mirror to see my appearance.

The black and purple shades enhanced my beauty.

I was in a wardrobe, sitting in front of a mirror with maids surrounding me. It was filled with dresses, footwear and accessories.

A maid came to me with a tray and handed me a hand fan engraved with gemstones.

I gently picked it up, thinking it would break if I gripped it hard. It was delicate and softer than I expected it to be.

The dark and light shades of lavender and black matched my outfit. They did leave my mouth open.

Nothing here fails to astonish me.

The whole day I've been with maids. In the morning, they applied pastes and layers of different masks on my skin. I had to keep it for a few hours and then I took a bath.

In the afternoon, I got a free muscle-relaxing massage.

The day went with ease and a feeling of comfort. Now, it was time to appear in front of a crowd in the ballroom.

I heard that many important and high-class nobles were present there.

We can do this Y/n, fighting!

AUTHOR'S POV

The massive and heavenly wooden doors of the ballroom opened gaining the attention of many. The voices inside started to fade as everyone turned their eyes to the threshold.

Many pairs stared at the now-opened gate. There was a figure, a female figure, in the shadows. It moved slightly and took a few steps ahead, letting the light fall on it and become visible.

There she stood, a nervous smile plastered across her face. Her heart pumped so hard in her chest that she would have heard it even if she stood miles away.

She didn't like the familiar attention, it always ate her up. Her eyes scanned through numerous faces looking for familiar ones.

As she wished, she found Taehyung and Seokjin standing close to a table. They both stared at her like everyone else did.

Without much of a thought, she made her way to them. She didn't know much about them but she surely could trust them. She knew she could.

She had this ability to guess the personality of people by their faces, the first line they spoke would tell her the type of human they were.

For her, Taehyung was a grown-up with brains, he was kind and a man of pride. As for Seokjin, she thought of him as a talkative person.

From what she had noticed on the dining table, he loved to talk about himself. He cherished his face more than his life.

As she approached them, Seokjin didn't stop munching food from the plate he had in his hand.

Y/N'S POV

I smiled tilting my head slightly. The silence was also overtaken by the whispers which started filling the place. People went back to the talks they left.

I took a glance at my surroundings. Females and males, dressed up in the colour of their Kingdoms, represented their origin.

Red, blue, green, yellow, pink and black, the vibrant colours, filled my sight. The beauty of the ballroom appealed to my senses.

I turned my head to Taehyung and Seokjin.

"How are you doing?"

Our conversation started pretty awkward at first, but soon the atmosphere became normal. We jumped from one topic to another and the chain of gossips went on and on.

After a while, I felt my stomach grumble lowly. My head immediately went sideways and I looked for food.

Approaching a table, I picked a drink of light pink and lavender hues. It looked mouth-watering and as I sipped it, the sweet flavours burst in my mouth.

The strawberry and rose flavour coated my tongue with a layer of sweetness.

As I dearly sipped it, I found myself thinking about Jungkook who was nowhere to be seen.

My eyes immediately searched for the familiar face. My eyebrows arched together when I didn't find him among the people.

Wasn't he supposed to be here?

My sips unconsciously slowed and stopped at one point. I glanced at my now empty glass and kept it aside.

I saw Taehyung approaching me from the front with a woman beside him. She wore an elegant and bright green gown. Her hazel eyes shone brightly as I looked into them.

Her hair was black and they bounced lightly as she walked. Now that I looked at both of them, they looked identical.

"This is Miss Y/n and Y/n, this is Kim Soojin, my sister." I smiled at her and bowed a bit. I knew they were related by her choice of colour which represented the Emerald Kingdom.

"Greetings Miss Y/n; it's nice to finally meet you. I've heard about you from Taehyung." Her voice was low and angelic. From the looks, she was shy. Blush crept on her cheeks as they got pink.

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Soojin; you look just like your brother."

I was going to forward my hand, however I mentally slapped myself before I could pull out that stupid move.

It's not the damn world you used to live in!

The sudden giggles caught my attention. They were erupting from a group of women behind us.

I saw Jungkook standing amidst them. He was looking handsome in the outfit I picked. The black contrasted well with the hues of purple.

He was struggling between them.

Was he having trouble dealing with women?

I evilly laughed in my mind, and a sly grin appeared on my face. Feeling my eyes on him, his eyes directly looked at me, making me blink twice. He startled me.

Help, please; his eyes sent signal after signal as he seemed relieved to find me.

Wanting to get him out of trouble, I excused myself and went his way. The women surrounded him like he was a cute puppy. His situation did make me laugh.

I had to squeeze through them. Excusing through the group, I stood beside Jungkook, staring at him. I knew eyes were on me, I felt the stares and glares. The tension in the air grew.

"Now...why don't you introduce me to your sisters?"

The women gasped and Jungkook looked at me wide-eyed. I winked at him to play along.

"You told me that every other female is your sister except me, didn't you Jungkookie?"

My mental self was dying inside because of laughter. Like this, I won't last more than two minutes. I need a backup.

"And who are you? I don't remember meeting you ever woman." A woman who wore a red dress, squinted her eyes at me, lowering her hand fan.

"She is my soon-to-be-wife, Y/n." Jungkook introduced and smiled at them while referring to me.

A few faces went pale and others went blank in disbelief.

He was one of the most manly men they would find here and now that I took him, their hopes died in an instant.

The sudden silence around interrupted the moment. People went into statue mode. I stopped whatever I was doing and looked at the door of the ballroom.

The emperor of the empire entered with several guards behind him. He walked on the red carpet which led to a small throne.

The white strands of his hair shone differently. There were a few wrinkles on his face too. His eyes were filled with formality and seriousness.

He sat on his seat with firmness. Now that he had settled down, he opened his mouth.

"I, Jeon Junghoon, the Emperor of the Amethyst Empire, hereby will declare a momentous occasion, for what I had gathered everyone here. My son, Jeon Jungkook, is now old enough to take my place as an emperor. I, announce that Jeon Jungkook and Miss Y/n will be getting married one month from now. Let it be known throughout the land and be the auspicious news. Let's enjoy the night!"

A smile made its way to my face.

Heya!
Are you guys doing great?
Sometimes, I feel that I'm not serious about my book however I want to be serious about it.

And about the Empire's name, the kingdom is known as The Purple Kingdom while the empire itself is known as The Amethyst Empire.

I have done my best and will continue to do it.

Bye💜💜💜
