Fuyu's pov

"Yes! I won! Now give me my money" Yeona exclaimed, slamming her hands on the table making the dealer groan.

I cannot believe that the crown princess of Beom empire is gambling right now.

"My prime minister, Taehyung taught her how to gamble" Yoongi whispered into my ear. So Taehyung is the prime minister...

"I thought the princess would be quite shy and innocent but she's far from that" I laughed lightly.

"What you're seeing right now is only 30 percent of her wild side" he confided, making me surprised.

"Unnie! Oppa! I won 100 silver coins!" Yeona grinned, waving her filled pouch.

"Let's go to a restaurant, my treat" she said, keeping her arm around my shoulders.

We left the palace after the morning meal and wandered around the streets, obviously dressed in normal clothes as we didn't want attention from the people. There's also 10 royal guards somewhere around us, I could easily notice them by their stiff posture.

"How are you so good at gambling?" I asked Yeona.

"It's a secret trick that TaeTae taught me" she said, winking.

Me and Yeona walked together to the restaurant with Yoongi behind us. We entered the restaurant and found a table to seat. A waiter came to our table and took down our orders, well most of the orders were from Yeona.

"So Unnie, are you coming to banquet?" Yeona asked me, keeping her hands on her cheeks.

"What banquet?" I asked her.

"A week away is the birthday of the Crown Princess of Yeoui. So the emperor, her brother is holding a grand celebration since she's turning 20 this year" She explained.

"My father didn't mention any of this" I said.

"Your father, Namjoon, Hoseok and others will come a day before the banquet, but you'll be coming with us to the Yeoui empire day after tomorrow" Yoongi said.

"Well I guess I'm coming" I spoke.

"I'm so excited and I heard that the crown princess is so beautiful just like her handsome brother. She rarely goes out of her palace and Taetae said that she's so talented in paintings, music and dancing. So once I meet her, I'm gonna challenge her" Yeona grinned, which made Yoongi sigh.

"Your food is served" The waiter came back with a big platter filled with all the dishes we ordered.

"Do you have some alcohol?" Yeona asked the waiter.

"Yes, we do have various drinks. Would you like to order ma'am?" He said.

"Yeah-"

"No!" Me and Yoongi shouted, interrupting her.

"Huh?" Yeona asked, her nose wrinkled in confusion.

"You may leave" Yoongi waved the waiter off.

"No alcohol today" He sternly told his sister.

"Why?!" She pouted.

"Uh you want me to remind you of what happened yesterday? When you punched the guard thinking that he was me? Or when you kicked that guy's crotch?" He questioned, raising his eyebrow.

"You what?" I asked, bewildered.

"I was drunk!" She claimed.

"There's your answer" Yoongi said, stuffing meat in his mouth and started chewing.

She scoffed and stabbed the meat with her chopsticks. She made a wrap with perilla leaf and other side ingredients in it. She kept the whole wrap into her mouth and chewed.

"Hmm, as expected. This meat is the best of all meat I've ever eaten" she said.

"Really?" I said, taking a piece of the cooked meat and made a wrap just like Yeona did it. I ate it and the flavours just bursted at once inside my mouth.

"Oh my god! You are right!" I said, making another wrap.

"I know right" she grinned.

I saw Yoongi eyeing the wrap in my hand.

"You want one?" I asked him.

"No, it's alright princess" he said.

"Just take it" I said, keeping the wrap infront of his mouth.

"I said it's alri-" I stuffed the wrap into his mouth.

"Thank you princess" he said, looking away. I could see a small hint of blush spreading across his cheeks.

After our meal, Yeona paid the bill and we left the restaurant. We walked around and we were about to cross the bridge until Yeona stopped us.

"I'm going to get some kebabs, do you want some?" She asked me.

"Didn't you eat a lot in the restaurant?" I asked her.

"That's not enough" she said.

"I'll get it for you Yeona and you both stay here until I come back" Yoongi said, leaving us both alone.

"Let's go" Yeona grinned.

"Huh? Where?" I asked her. Instead of answering my question, she dragged me along with her.

"Uhuh, Not so fast" Yoongi appeared in front of us, glaring at us, with kebab sticks in his hands.

"I didn't do it! She dragged me!" I pointed at Yeona.

"Damn it, I just wanna explore with Unnie!" Yeona whined.

"We have to go back to the palace" Yoongi said, giving the kebabs to his sister. Yeona huffed, taking a bite of the kebabs.

"I'll succeed you one day" She said, before taking another bite.

"I'm looking forward to that day" Yoongi smirked.

Time skip

"You're still the same, Yeona" Namjoon laughed out loud.

"What do you mean by that, your majesty?" Byeol asked him.

"Hyung and me were there when this happened. At that time, Yeona was 10 years old, she successfully distracted her guards with her powers and escaped out of the palace. Yoongi was so scared thinking that she was kidnapped or something worse, he ordered all the soldiers to search for her and they couldn't find her. Later in the evening, She came back on her own and was holding two big bags of treats" Hoseok narrated the story.

"What happened next hyung?" Jungkook asked.

"Yoongi was relieved that she was safe and untouched but at the same time angry that he gave a punishment to her" Namjoon said.

"My cruel brother grounded me and made me write 100 copies of Analects of Confucius! It took me almost a year to finish it" Yeona hollered.

"You deserved that" Yoongi said.

"That was harsh, your majesty" I told Yoongi.

"She had to be disciplined" He said, glaring at his sister who's stuck her tongue out to him.

After our dinner, I was leaving to my chambers but Yoongi stopped me.

"Princess, Would you go on a quick stroll with me?" He asked me.

"Sure your majesty" I nodded.

We both walked on the path of the royal garden, bright lanterns placed on the both sides of the path giving us a clear view of the green garden. We stopped at the edge of the lake, which was glittering because of the bright moon in the dark sky.

It was silent yet peaceful.

But as I stared at the lake longer, the memories of the previous princess flashed through my eyes. When she was young, she always come here with her mother and learn about flowers and play with her brothers. After the empress passed away, she comes here alone and sit under the big tree, grieving the loss of her mother. In her teenage years, she frequently visits the garden and spend hours there, taking care of the flowers and playing with her brothers after they finished their training. Later she grew up to a young lady, she rarely visits the garden and is always holed up in her room. It saddens me that she drowned in this place and her soul went somewhere.

"...cess?"

"Princess Fuyu?" Yoongi called me out, snapping me back into reality.

"Yes your majesty?" I said, turning to face him.

"Shall we get going, it's late" he said.

"Oh yeah sure your majesty" I told him.

I was walking behind him and suddenly something which looked like a black fog flew past me startling me, I missed my balance and I was sure that I was gonna fall onto the ground but a certain pair of hands caught me from hurting myself.

I opened my eyes to see Yoongi's face up close, his brown eyes looking into mine and It felt like the time has stopped. I was lost into his eyes, dark brown with golden specks and I could feel my heart beating fast and irregular.

Panda: Kiss! kiss! kiss!
Fuyu: wtf!

"Ah pardon my clumsiness, your majesty" I said, wriggling out of his grip and stood properly, making a distance me and him. My face was flushed and I was so embarrassed.

"Are you not feeling well princess? Your face is red" He asked me.

"Ah...it's nothing your majesty, my face becomes red during the winter season" I said, covering my cheeks.

"Oh, you should head back to your chamber and warm yourself" he said.

"Well then, goodnight your majesty" I bowed down and walked away from him. I turned around to see him speaking with a royal guard and he walked with him. I guess Namjoon has called for him...

I reached my chamber, changed into my nightclothes and laid on the bed. I stared at the wooden ceiling, thinking about the moment I had with Yoongi.

"Aaaaaahhhh!" I squealed, moving my body.

"No Fuyu, you can't be thinking about it" I slapped my cheeks.

But what was that black fog back there? I felt this ominous feeling from it....
