" She told me that she loved me by the water fountain, "
______________________

"She was right?" I sit down on his bed and hold my head in my cold hands as he sits next to me.

"What? All they did was change my hair color do you not like it?" I could feel him inch closer to me as I try to comprehend what is going on.

"No, I...this is gonna sound weird but, I have seen you before Tae before this selection before I even came here, " he looks away from me and looks at the floor as if I'm crazy.

"Tae do you believe in destiny?" He unlinks our hands and turns to face me. He cups my face and rubs his thumb across my cheek.

"I do, " as soon as he said this I go on to tell him of what the older lady at the store had told me. He couldn't believe it at first but he soon understood.

"Alex, for the advice you need to finish the selection so it will be the last one, " he stands up and shoves his hands in his pockets.

"Why I can easily overthrow my father, " I pick at my nails as a nervous habit as V pushes his freshly dyed hair back.

"Remember it's your destiny and if you make the right choice you can overthrow him, "

"But me choosing all of you guys are princes and just how?" V stays silent for a moment as I look at him for an answer.

"We all have our secrets, now I have to go meet me later, " I didn't even have time to question him when he quickly left the room. I went to chase after him but it was already too late.

I kept walking down the halls thinking of what to do and how. But I soon notice that Kate came out of one of the boy's room.

"Kate!" She notices me and she looked like she had been crying. She comes closer and I see that she was in a shocked state.

"Where have you been?" I pull her into a hug as I can hear her start to cry.

"Alex, I'm sorry, "She said between sobs as we release from the hug. She wipes her face from her tears.

"Why are you sorry?" When I ask her this she looks at the ground.

"I'm gonna be whipped too, " she then started to cry again as I try to comprehend why she has just told me.

"You mean you and one of the princes..." She shakes her head yes. I sigh but I know that people can't help what they feel.

"Please, help us," Kate says as pulls me in and hugs me again. I pat her back and tell her it will be okay.

"So you and..."

"Hoseok, " she says as she pushes her hair behind her ears.

"Okay, I'm going to have someone book you guys a flight to Korea. You need to tell him this and pack your bags and at midnight there will be someone waiting for you guys to take you to a place to stay while I get a flight ready, " she releases a breath of relief as I tell her this.

"Thanks so much, Alex you would be a great queen, " I thank Kate and told her to hurry and to tell Hoseok.

Time skip~~

I had Liz tell one of the most trusted of security to have a car ready at midnight and a room for them to spend a couple of nights in. As I rush Liz off to do her task I saw Namjoon walking out of my dad's room.

"Princess, " I ignore him and head downstairs. I don't trust him whatsoever since he seems to have a bromance with my father. I knew he was following me when I heard his footsteps behind me as I tried to find V.

"What do you want Namjoon?" I suddenly turn around and face him.

"For you to talk to me, " I shake my head and turn away from him but he grabs my arm.

"Look, I am only trying to get on your dad side so that I would look good, " he lets go of me and I cross my arms at him giving him a pissed look.

"You are saying is you want to look good to my dad who had your friend beaten?!" I look down the hallway and see Yoongi, Jimin, and Jin coming out of their bedrooms from me yelling.

"No, I'm doing this for you of course!" He puts his hand on my shoulder thinking I would fall for it. I shoved him causing him to stumble backward and fall on the floor.

"You were the one to rat them out, weren't you?!" I hover over him as a smirk plays on his face.

"Just once less prince to worry about, " he gets up and starts walking closer to me as I back away.

"Less competition when I get rid of Taehyung" he backs me into the wall and I could see over his shoulder that the boys had left.

"Don't you dare touch him, I'll ruin you, "

"Oh, I won't babe, you'll want to have him gone just by his secret, "

"What secret?"

"He is looking for a Queen if that tells you anything. I need to go make good decisions and don't whore around like your friend Kam, " he kisses me on the cheek not before I slapped him on the face causing his face to move to the right.

"Don't you dare talk about her that way you son of a bitch!" He just stares at me and walks away.

I didn't realize I was crying until I felt my face that was really warm.

"Alex?" I tilt my head up and see the three guys.

"What?" I say as low as possible and my head hung low. My face was then lifted by a hand. Jimin's warm hand was on my cheek.

"We want to help, " he says gesturing to the other guys. They all nodded their heads.

"We knew about Jungkook and Kam we promised we wouldn't tell anyone until Joon opened his mouth, " Jimin rolled his eyes as the rest of the guys agreed with everything he said.

"And that we weren't going to be chosen, " Yoongi says stepping beside Jimin.

"How?"

"We just knew and we have a feeling who you are going to pick if you aren't angry with him by now, " Jin says stepping beside them too.

"So what's your plan?" I tell them to follow me and lead them outside to the garden where I know not many people but me and V go to. I tell them my idea and they agreed upon it and gave me some things to fix with it.

"So what are you going to do afterward go back home?" Jin says sitting by the fountain playing in the water.

"I'm gonna find a new one with the person I chose. Scotland doesn't need a monarch anymore," I sit beside Jin as the other two are on the famous bench. We were all joking around when Taehyung showed up.

"I think Liz said she had some food ready for us will you three go get it?" They all nod there heads and stand to leave. Jimin pats V on the back and catches up with the rest of the guys.

V then sits down on the bench and I go sit next to him.

"Alex, I have something to tell you before you take action on anything, " he grabs my hand and kisses the top of it.

"Why wouldn't you tell me sooner?" I look into his eyes and see the guilt spread throughout them. He looks away from me and sighs.

"Because I didn't want to be treated differently and let them think I had an advantage because of my status or why I'm really here, " he lets go of my hand and walks over to the fountain and doesn't say anything until he mysteriously smiles.

"I remember when we first came to this garden I was actually nervous to meet you, " he puts his hand in his pocket and pulls out a wilted white rose.

"I came here because I needed to find someone to rule beside me but..." I watch as he doesn't continue and drops the rose in the water fountain.

"It's not my choice, " he finally says as he comes back and sits beside me. He combs his fingers through his bleached hair and looks up at the sky as I think about what to say to him.

"How do you know if you're in love? " I say as he looks away from the sky to me.

"You feel happy around them, sometimes they make you mad or you like the way they stand up for what they believe in, "

"Can I tell you a secret?" I scootch closer to him and pulled his ear down to my lips.

"I'm in love with someone, " I whisper he turns his face towards mine and stares in my eyes. I couldn't help but notice how different his eyelids are.

"Who?" He says in a low raspy voice.

"You,"
