JEON JUNGKOOK

Jungkook got down from his carriage and heard the mourning voices of the maids who were there as they saw the open coffin of their loved king which made Jungkook's smile grow much more.
The coffin was taken to the courtroom and placed in the middle of it which also made ministers and soldiers close their eyes out of grieves.
As Jungkook settled on the throne, a proud grin spread across his face. His eyes flickered with excitement as he looked out at the kingdom before him, ready to take on his new role as ruler.
As the empress and her concubines entered the courtroom, they were overcome with sadness. They knelt before the coffin, their tears flowing freely. It was a heart-wrenching scene, one that reminded us all the fragility of life.
They all are helpless there and can't do anything about it as the king is sitting on the throne with a proud grin

After much deliberation, King Jungkook and his trusted subordinates came to a decision. They resolved to stay in the manor for a while longer, until they found a loyal and reliable person who could follow the king's orders and also take care of the city in his absence. It was a crucial decision, as it would determine the safety and prosperity of the kingdom while the king was away in the capital city of Shaman. The king and his subordinates knew that they could not afford to take any risks, and so they set out to find the perfect candidate who would be up to the task of managing the city.
CHUL-MOO
His Majesty you've already checked on all the people of the court.
CHUL-MOO
Have you decided whom to choose?
JEON JUNGKOOK
Appoint I'm going to appoint young-joo as a magistrate.
CHUL-MOO
Yes Your Majesty, I'll get the young-joo and his family for acknowledging your orders.
The king's decision to appoint Young-joo appears to be motivated by a desire to exercise greater control over him. It seems that the son of young-joo is planning to join the military and work under Commander Chul-moo, and by appointing Young-joo to a position of power, the king can ensure that he remains loyal and obedient. The king's shrewd strategy seems to involve using his military powers to his advantage, and he is clearly willing to go to great lengths to maintain his hold on power.
later the following evening the king gave the acknowledgement to the young-joo which his acknowledged and promised to be loyal and obedient.
As the king was preparing to depart in the morning, the court members decided to organize a small art performance in his honor. The previous king, who was an ardent admirer of art, had invited foreign dancers to showcase their skills before the outbreak of war. Unfortunately, due to the war, the event never took place. Therefore, the court saw it as an opportunity to pay homage to their former king and to celebrate the beauty of art through this performance.
The king sat on the throne with pride soon after the foreign dancers arrived.
He witnessed something that not only made his journey successful but also contributed to his victory in the war.
As the curtains draw back, a group of dancers take their positions on the stage, their movements synchronized with the rhythm of the music. Among them, someone catches the king's eye with his effortless grace and striking beauty. Mesmerized, he draws closer to the stage, watching his every move with rapt attention. The king can't help but ponder how he had never noticed him before and wonders when his fascination for him began.
AN: ignore the background.
"The king leaned in close, his voice barely above a whisper as he spoke. He knew that what lay before him was a precious thing, one that should belong to him and no one else."
