Chapter 6: Welcoming Ball


Taehyung POV:

Its the morning of Alex's welcoming ball.

I got up and got dressed and went to our spot the garden to pick out a flower for her.

When I got there I didn't expect to see Namjoon.

"What are you doing here Joon?"

"I know you have it" he says firmly.

"Have what?" I say with a smirk on my face.

"You aren't gonna get her you know that right?" He says standing up facing me.

'Who does he think he is?' I thought.

"And who says I can't have her?" I say crossing my arms.

"Me, you didn't even ask her to the ball like the king asked" he says raising his voice.

"Yeah so what! I don't want to be forced to ask her. I want things like that to be meaningful."

"You are so weird"

"No, you guys are the weird ones. How are we suppose to ask her to the stupid thing when she has no clue why we are here!"

"She will soon" he says leaving.

"What if she doesn't want to be apart of it!"

"She has to"

End POV:

I woke up to hearing my door shut.

'Who the hell is up this early and in my room.' I thought as I got up to get dressed for the big day ahead.

But I noticed a yellow rose on my side table.

I just couldn't help smile that he remembered what my favotite flower was.

The there was a knock on my door.

"Good your up! You have a long day ahead princess" Liz says.

"Your telling me"

'Dumb me said yes to 6 guys to escort me.' I thought as I put my shoes on.

"So what color is your dress?" Liz asks with excitement written all over her face.

"Thats a suprise."

"Aww come on please show me!"

"Ok fine" I say going over to where my dress was placed in a protective bag.

I unzipped the zipper and Lizs eyes went wide.

"That is so beautiful" she says.

V and Jimin won't believe which one I picked.

"I love it" I say.

"Ok Ill leave you be let me know if you need anything" Liz says before she leaves.

After she left I brushed my hair and did light make up and went to look for any clues to where my journal might be.

Everyone was very busy for the welcoming ball. The castle had beautiful decorarions and lights hanging up.

But there was no sign of the visitors. Out of curiosity I went to go look for them.

As I was passing my dad's room I could hear him having a conversation. So I put my ear up to the door.

"Ok boys, tonight is the night she will be finding out what your reason being here is" I hear my dad say.

"Now tomrrow will be the big day where the royal media is gonna find out" he adds.

I then sneezed.

'Shit' I thought

Then the door swung opened causing me to almost face plant but my dad caught me.

"Whats the reason for them being here?" I say brushing myself off.

"Thats none of your buisness young lady" My dad says.

"I heard you say there was dad! Don't lie to me!" I then made eye contact with V and he just looked away from me like he was guilty.

"We will discuss this later now leave!"

I can't believe he yelled at me in front of them. I ran out of my dads room and of course went to the garden.

I went and sat on the bench cursing under my breath.

"Nasty words shouldn't come out of pretty girls mouths."

"V, why did you guys come here?" I say as he sat down beside me.

"I can't tell you till later love"

"Why not?"

"Why so many questions?"

We just sat there in silence.

"You never told me why you liked the color purple" I said.

"It has many different meanings you'll find out for yourself. When you do tell me what it means to you."

I stayed silent and thought about it.

When I think of purple I think of flowers and thats it. But I know there is more to it.

"You better get going. The ball starts soon." He adds.

"You better get going too." I say standing up.

"I can't wait to see your dress." He says as he takes my hand and kisses it.

"See ya later V"

As I walked back I couldn't help think about him and his questions.

There is just something special about him.

I hope he can stay longer it would be lonely here without him.

I made it to my room and when I go in I see Liz and two other people.

"Alex! Where have you been" Liz says dragging me to sit on the chair to my vanity.

"The garden" I say.

"We are running behind now they'll have to rush your make-up."

Then one of the people started pulling at my hair and fixing it while the other starts getting out brushes and what not.

"Ow!" I say as the hair dresser tugs at my hair for the 100th time.

"What Tiara for your dress?" Liz says.

"Ruby, the ruby one"

"Good choice!" She says cheerfully.

Time skip~~

After what felt like hours I was finally ready.

"You look beautiful princess" Liz says.

"Alex Liz not princess."

"I can't help it you really look like one."

I just smiled

"Princess they are ready for you" one of the guards says.

'Ok I can do this, don't fall or say something stupid' I thought as I made my way to the marble stair case.

"Just wait right here. Your father goes first." Liz whispers next me.

"Now Introducing the new King of Scotland King Stewart" the royal announcer says and people start clapping.

My dad gave me a thumbs up before he walked down. I could hear him saying something but I was too nervous to pay attention.

"It go time" Liz then pushes me towards the stair case.

I see all 7 visitors lined up but they can't see me yet.

"And now your new princess of Scotland, Princess Alexandra."

I carefully took steps down the stair case. Which was hard because of my red pumps.

I ran my hand through the red material of my dress to help me walk

Everyone went quite no one made a sound. All you could hear was my pumps clicking on the stairs.

I look over at 7 lined up and they looked shocked.

I look for Jimins reaction because I thought I picked his dress. But he looked kind of sad.

I then looked at V he had a big boxy smile on his face.

I should have known.

I finally made it to my dad.

"Hello everyone" I said.

Then everyone started clapping and music begin to play.

'Thats so weird' I thought.

My dad must of realized the weird look on my face.

"They don't clap for the princess at first they believe that if she makes it down the stairs okay she is fit to be queen one day." He whispers.

"Oh what?!"

"Shh they are coming"

I looked and I saw Jin in front of me.

"May I have this dance?" He says with an outreached hand. I accepted it because my dad always says to never decline a dance.

We walked to the center of the floor and he took my hand into his and wrapped his other around my waist.

We danced for a couple of minutes until Jungkook cut in.

"Hey Alex" he says as we sway to the music.

"Hey Kook"

"You having fun?"

"Yeah loads" I say snickering.

Then Yoongi cuts in.

He was silent the whole time and really didn't say much he seemed really tired.

Jimin cuts in

"Hello Kitten"

"Jimin!" I say smaking him in the back of the head.

"Sorry hon" he says as he spins me around.

"Your such a perv Jimin"

"Just for you"

"Move Jimin its my turn!" Hoseok says as he cuts in.

"Lets make this more fun" he says as he dips me.

I just laughed he knows how to make someones day and be a ray of sunshine.

"Sorry Hobi I know you are having fun but its mine turn." Namjoon says.

Hoseok looked sad but let Namjoon have his turn.

"I still haven't found your journal yet" he says.

"Don't worry about it. Itll show up soon" I say.

"I just don't want you more mad at us after tonight"

"Why would I be more mad?" I say giving him a questioning look.

"You'll find out after everyone leaves."

He was about to say something else when someone cut him off.

"Move Joon" V says as he drags me away from him and entagles his long fingers with mine and puts his hands on my waist.

"I see you picked my dress" he says with a dress.

"I thought you picked the purple one" I said.

"Its just my favorite color" he says laughing.

"I was right though you look very beautiful in red it makes you look like a flower." he adds.

"Really? Your the first to compliment me tonight" I say.

"Oh so the others weren't brave enough like me" he says.

He then stops dancing and takes something out of his pocket.

It was a red rose and the thorns were removed.

"I knew you would choose me dress" he says as he places the rose in my hair.

I just laugh at his cockiness.

"I wished you didn't have to leave soon. It has been lonley here until you showed up" I say laying my head on his chest.

"Hmm"

He was the last one I danced with so we danced for a while.

Until dad wanted a meeting with me in his office.

With V with me we walked to his office and when we got there the other 6 was there with some other guy who had stacks of papers.

V went and stood next to Namjoon they were giving bad looks to each other.

"What is all this?" I say confused.

"Alexandra remeber when we first came they have traditions here?" My dad says.

"Yes why?"

"You are haveing to go through a selection process."

"What's that?"

" It's where Scotland has aliences with royals in Korea. You must choose one of the 7 princes from each part of Korea to marry. So we call it a selection." The guy with the papers says.

"What do you mean a selection! I just got here and just meet them!"

"Its a tradition princess."

"But what if I don't want to, I'm too young for marriage!"

"Alexandra it's not a big deal" My dad says. I looked at him shocked.

I looked over at the guys mainly at V for them to back me up but they just nod their heads.

Except for V he just looked at his feet and shook his head.

"Not a big deal! I have to choose 1 out of 7 princes to marry in a short time. Thats not a big deal!"

"In the end you'll have to choose." Namjoon suddenly says.

"Well then I say wiping the imaginary dust off my dress. You guys better be prepared for a fight because I'm not gonna be giving up my freedom!"  I then walked out.

I could hear my dad calling my name.

'They think they can just come here and think they are gonna leave married they got another thing coming.' I thought as I walked the path to the garden.

I knew I was being followed by now and I knew who it was too.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I didn't want to look bad in front of your father" V says.

I didn't say anything I was too mad and didn't want to curse at him. I then started angry crying.

"Just know that I'm going along with this selection" he says.

"Why?"

"I Don't lose"

"What if you do this time?"

"Trust me I'm not going to and I plan on winning your heart."

"Sure it will take a miracle for one of you guys to." I say rolling my eyes.

"Just watch and see." I then heard him walk off.

What am I going to do?
