꧁ ༺ 𝟯 ༻ ꧂
The Emperor sat on his throne, surrounded by his courtiers and advisers. Suddenly, a messenger entered, panting and out of breath.
Messenger
Your majesty," *gasped*. "I come with news from Athens kingdom."
Jeon Jeongkook
"Speak," the Emperor commanded, leaning forward in his seat.
Messenger
"The proposed alliance has been accepted, your majesty
A hush fell over the room, followed by a collective gasp.
The Emperor's face paled, a brief flash of shock and disbelief crossing his features before he quickly regained his composure.
Jeon Jeongkook
"Is that so?" he said slowly, his voice betraying nothing. "And what were the terms of this acceptance?"
The messenger nods nervously, his eyes darting around the room before meeting the Emperor's unwavering gaze.
Messenger
"Yes, your majesty. The Omega Prince has agreed to the alliance, but he has set some conditions," he says, his voice trembling slightly.
Jeon Jeongkook
"Continue," the Emperor snaps, his patience wearing thin.
Jeon Jeongkook
What are the condition?
Messenger
He wishes that you treat him with respect and acknowledge his worth as a person. He also wants certain freedoms and autonomy in marriage and the right to practise his own religious beliefs.
Messenger
*swallows nervously* Your majesty, if you do not accept these conditions, the Omega Prince has made it clear that he will not agree to the marriage."
The Emperor's face hardens, his jaw clenching in frustration and anger. He takes a deep breath, trying to keep his emotions in check.
The Emperor nodded, a sly smile playing upon his lips.
Jeon Jeongkook
Very well. You may tell Omega that I have no problem with his conditions. I am perfectly willing to accept his terms.
The messenger bowed deferentially.
Messenger
Messenger
Yes, your majesty. I shall deliver the message to King Omega at once.
Messenger
*left from there*
The maid enters Omega's chamber, her face filled with concern.
Maid
My lord, I bring important news from the royal throne room.
Omega, sensing the urgency in her voice, stands up from his seat.
Jeon Taehyung
"What is it? Tell me the news."
The maid hesitates for a moment, knowing that the news she is about to deliver is not what Omega wanted to hear.
Maid
My lord, the Emperor has agreed to the conditions you proposed for the marriage alliance.
Omega's eyes widen, a look of shock and disbelief crossing his face.
Omega's mind races as he hears the maid's words. He struggles to maintain his composure, his voice shaking slightly as he speaks.
Jeon Taehyung
The Emperor has agreed to my conditions? Are you sure?
Maid
The maid nods, her head bowed respectfully.
Maid
Yes, my lord. I have heard it from the messenger himself. The Emperor has no objections to your conditions.
Omega's face hardens as he takes in the news, a sense of determination settling over him.
Jeon Taehyung
What is my father's outlook regarding this situation?"
Your father is concerned, my lord. He is not happy about the idea of an arranged marriage, but he knows the importance of this alliance for the kingdom.
Omega takes a deep breath, trying to regain his composure.
Jeon Taehyung
Relay the message to my father that I have agreed to the marriage. Let them know that I will honor the conditions I sent to the Emperor.
The maid nods, understanding the gravity of the situation.
Maid
Yes, my lord. I will relay your message to the others at once.
