The Imperial Kingdom, a peaceful and calm dynasty where people live happily in each other's presence, no harm, no crime, everything is well and good.

"The irony", he chuckled. A well grown man, calmly resting on his Bristlecone Pine smoothly curved into a chair formed only for him.The man was an ethereal beauty. Eyes deep as the ocean, one stare is like an arrow piercing into one's heart. Not everyone has the guts to stand in front of this heavenly beauty. Not everyone has the right too to be precise.

"Imperial lord, your Empress is back and has requested your presence in her palace", a broad shoulder man threw his question as soon as he entered, his facial expression showing the intensity of the news.

" *sigh* Go inform her about my presence in a while"

"Yes Imperial lord"

Min Yoongi, the most trusted general and Imperial lords lieutenant, the second in command in the kingdom. A cold person, the one with whom no one dares to mess with. I repeat no one, not even the imperial lord himself. Not because the lord is afraid, Yoongi is just dust in front of the Lord. It's just that the lord respects him.

About the Empress , yes the lord has an Empress. The most gorgeous woman of the kingdom, arrogant and strongly possessive about his lord. Being a girl she wasn't weak, rather holding as much power as the lord. Not more than the lord.

Park Roseanne, the Imperial honorable consort of the lord, held the 2nd highest rank, followed by Kim Jisoo and lalisa manoban as the crowned consorts. Jennie, Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Kang Haerin, Hyein are the consorts in the ordinary.Along with them 9 low-rank consorts and 13 lady in waiting. The Imperial palace situated at the Capital had a total of 100 maids of which 75 were head maids and 25 low-rank servants. The low ranks were in charge of the ministers and other officials whereas the head maids were in charge of the royal blood line. The head of all the maids was Kim Seok-Jin, the lord's personal attendant, the one who gave the lord the news about the Empress's arrival.

Kim Namjoon, the royal adviser another trusted man of the lord. A muscular man, with a high IQ and sharp brain and his ability to predict the future has made him one of the countable people favoured by the lord.

The Empress's Palace is a place erected for the lord's Empress. Each and every Empress has always been there for relaxation and staying away from messy palace. Located on the outskirts of the town, a cool and pleasant place for an Empress to relax.

The lord has a brother who is currently out of the capital facing a battle with a sorn enemy of theirs. The only family of the lord. The Queen mother and the King were long dead. The reason is only known by the royal brothers or precisely the Imperial Lord Park Jimin taking his mother's surname and Jung hoseok who took the surname of his father as a reminder of their presence and love.

~end of chapter~

[ Note : I used all their actual names to represent the characters well please don't misunderstand anything by their surnames. Rose and Jimin aren't blood related I used park, as to not to change their names, it's my first time writing a novel, so I hope you will ignore the mistakes and shower me with love, as you did with reincarnation as a good boy and definition of love, thank you again]

"Welcome my dear Lord!", the Empress stated, gently moving her left hand to her mouth, lightly covering the sweet smile she has to offer. She was dressed in her embroidered royal red outfit, a tint of blush on her cheeks and bright red lips. Eyes full of sweetness and lover towards her husband, showing nothing but simple warmth.

Earning a frown from the latter the Empress chuckled, with a reply that earned her another frown from the lord."Seems like the lord isn't happy to see his Empress or may I say is too busy to even think about her!", she stated, all her actions showing gentleness.

Jimin eyed the servants while the latter taking the hint gave the couples privacy.

"I presume even the empress isn't free enough to have a gossip, So I request her to enlighten me about why she wanted my presence?", the lord let his words out without a drop of emotion in his eyes.

"Your son is sick your highness, you should at least pay him a visit or have you lost even the tiny bit of conscience towards your family?", she replied, the sweetness never leaving her smile.

Jimin's pov //:

I don't know why she has to start it all over again? Can't she just let me live in peace even for a moment? All I wish right now is to walk from here closing the door on her ugly face. I can't tolerate that smile she gives pouring all the bitter sweetness in it.Family she says, I've never wished for one with her.Then why? I never wanted this family, I never wanted to marry her in the first place.And the son who she is claiming to be sick, does she even remember his full name. Did she ever care for Taemin. I don't know what on earth did she feed him now that he got sick.I need to take him to my castle.

"Where is he?", I asked showing as less emotions as I can to which she called her maid to bring Taemin. Stopping the maid I continued, "Just say where he is?"

"In his room lord", Ji-eun spoke in an indescribable tone, which sounded anything but nice.

Not giving any further shit I left the room and was finally able to breathe fresh air without perfume.

I hurried towards Taemin's room. My heart shattered into pieces as I saw him laying weak trembling.A prince in his mother's so called care. Letting out a sigh I went beside him. Feeling my presence he tried to get up but layed down again at my command.

"I told you a million times and I am saying it again prince, you don't have to bow in front of me. Why don't you just take me as a friend hmm, and tell me how did you even end up in bed? What poison did your mother use this time?"

"No no no, i-it's n-not h-her f-f-fault, it was m-me, w-who was carel-less", he spoke earning a sigh from me.

" When will you ever understand that she hates you prince, come and live with me, I can't see you like this anymore, you know I can't do anything against her, you are my own blood whom I can't sacrifice ever"

"I'll be a-alright f-father, o-one day s-he will surely l-love us, y-you see I will m-make it h-happen", he replied giving me a cheerful but boxy smile.How much I love it.

" Okay my prince but you are coming with me for a month, and no buts take it as the lords order, you never break it do you?"

"Ok father, I will"

"Your Hoseokie uncle is coming back from the war too"

"Really?"

"yes, now sleep I will arrange for your departure"

"Hmm"
