" Emperor jeon what do you think about the propasal"
Taehyung look confuse and then suddenly it clicks.
'Ah so they are here for that '
What a fool!.
And who ask him to openly talk, don't he have manners or doesn't he know that he will only embarrass himself.
" How can i refuse your proposal king kang. I will be honoured to have relationship with kang Qi. But this matter can't be taken lightly. So i will like to invite you both to stay here for few more days."
The king was all smiles but unfortunately fake.
Now Taehyung also life his head, shortly glancing at kang siblings .
Now that he have to see their faces more than once he should take a proper look.
" Emperor kang apologising for my ignorance but we didn't have a proper introduction. "
Taehyung observers the way princess Lisa's lip rose up but she was trying her best to mask her smirk and he was sure he saw her sumg face.
They didn't know that there plan has long been seen through. They are nothing but mear platything in jeon's hand.
He don't know when he began to understand jeon jungkook this much but he spoke the truth .
From her fair fawless skin to her big round eyes and her pink plump lips. surely she was beautiful but it cannot mask her arrogance.
"You are right, Emporor jeon we should have a proper introduction. " he pauses for a second and look at her sister patiently before speaking in a rather firm tone.
"Meet my elder sister kang lisa"
" and i am called kang Minwoo"
He said it so proudly. That Taehyung douted for a momment whether there's some special meaning for this name that he is unaware of .
His looks like a nobel familie's gentlemen and can be consider as a prince. But his bearing of oneself and nature was rather like a pampered rich kid.
I have better name than you.
Taehyung criticised internally rather childishly. He don't know why but he really didn't like this siblings he badly want to voice out his thought but decided not to say what if it made this arrogent king cry.
This thought alone was giving him a funny feeling. This king had made a fool of himself before even spending a night. To be related to such family one will be ashamed. But Taehyung stoped himself from judging as a opponent can never be underestimated.
But as if not enough kang Minwoo also try to flirt with him.
"And who this nobel beauty might be"
Bored by this open flirting. Taehyung innocently smile but his eye held no emotions that one might consider as happy. But on surface he did not let his displeasure out.
On a normal day he surely will punish such person but seening other not aware of his identity he didn't consider it.
" I am kim taehyung--
But before he could finish his word, he was badly interrupted.
"Ah kim taehyung what a lovely name for a lovely person "
"Your future brother in law, your majesty " maybe.
Taehyung finishes his sentence staring straight at kang Minwoo eyes.
Taehyung who has always kept a clam expression was suprisingly annoyed today and this man's childish acts are only adding oil to fire.
Jungkook was trying hardest to not laugh by the situation unfolding infront but when he look up and saw the embarrassed face of kang lisa and that shame filled face of kang Minwoo who look like a mouse caught in cat's paw. He let out a low chuckle.
Lisa was embarrassed. She felt everyone is looking at she with disdain and dare not to look up.
Taehyung was looking as disgusted as ever because of the king but this was his actual plan. To have this siblings head low. Afterall he can't lose trust or face in front of this palace maids by sudden adition, now can he?
Jimin who was very well aware of his friend's action sign lowly. No one knows taehyung better than him. He know that whatever happen taehyung will never loose his composer until he needed to, so there must be a reason to insult this king
or is he jealous that finally jungkook is going to take someone in harem, beside him. Jimin thought rather mischievously.
The rest of the dinner was quite. But it would be more accurate to say awkward.
Before it ends up in more uncomfortable atmosphere Jungkook interrupted because he has other things to do beside this.
"Our northern territory have been disturbed by Xie soldiers lately. leading in my absence in palace for next few days. I will appreciate if this marriage matter end up as soon as possible. I hope you understand. "
Jungkook end his sentence without any care of others opinion. Leaving no room for argument. He did not even try to hide his disinterest towards marrige.
And who was kang to refuse to stay longet, afterall he was here for that.
But Taehyung totally misunderstood it.
Is the king that eager for this marriage. That he have to make a lie to make this marrige happen as fast as possible.
.
"Your highness are you ok ?"
"Jimin no need to be so formal when others are not around".
"But we are not alone your highness we have min yoonji here with us. She is a threat to our life."
Taehyung was already tired by there childish bickering. He just sighed and lean back on his chair.
"Your highness if you allow than i will gladly show my sword down your assistant park jimin's throat. "
MIN YOONJI head assistant of first royal consort kim taehyung along with assistant park jimin is sister of General Min yoongi,
she said while holdings her sword in her hand patiently waiting for an order.
"Go ahead i don't care till he keep his mouth shut." Taehyung said as one of the maid massage his back. His eyes hooded to the sword in yoonji's hand .
i really miss those days.
"Tae are you serious she is not that flower like girl anymore she will rip me apart."
"Exactly" Taehyung said.
Jimin was panicking after seeing the devilish smile on yoonji's face who was now chuckling and slowly walking towars him giving him feeling of betrayal. Now being more paranoid after seeing no sign of help from his friend. Who was lying peacefully probably enjoying his odreal.
Though deep inside he know that she will not harm him right?
"Your highness princess yuri had came to visit you."
What she want now? , jimin had now actually concluded that she had some attraction towards his friend. Otherwise who will dare to visit Taehyung constantly in his chamber.
"Let her in " the youth clad in white lazily wave his hand.
Princess jeon Yuri Jeon Jungkook's half sister. Her mother was concubine but after the death of Jungkook's mother she was declared as royal consort by his father.
" Greeting your highness i hope you are doing well".
Taehyung forcefully smile and motion her to sit ." I am fine princess yuri. Now what brings you here ? "
"Your highness Jeon yuri had came to show her gratitude towards you for helping her assistant to recover from her illness by providing her timed medication. " yuri said looking at floor. Normally she will not even greet her elder and seeing her like this the servents in the room were momentary stunned.
"It's nothing , though i suggest you to be gratefull towards your assistant and next time atlest call someone to help and not leave someone dying out in cold."
Princess yuri suddenly began to cry taking everyone by suprise never had they imagine to see their princess to cry out.
Her snow white glowing face like were now sumdged with tears, look rather pitifull.
They had always seen her roaming around with her servants, wrape in elegant clothes with precious jewelleries of immense wealth. Never sparing a glace to anyone more than twice.
However taehyung was expecting this, he knows for a fact that Yuri and her mother bae sooyun are just crows trying to be in good side of people.
While doing their hand dirty in back.
He know that after Yuri's little secret behaviour toward her assistant she will come here to wash her hands.
But who is he?
Is he someone benovelent ?
So being the heartless snake that he is, he suddenly bend down to meet her eye level, turning on his acting skill to max.
Weeping her tears softly like if he press a little too hard it will hurt painfully.
"My sister in law don't worry we know you didn't mean to let her die but what can you do ? You are as innocent as a child perhaps you should start going regularly to your classes so you will know what to do in this kind of situations. Because it should be your priority now. You are at young age perfet to be married."
His tone was smoothing like a mother teaching her child. He pause for a sec and whisper so that no one else but she can hear. "Other than going to your lovers house, oh maybe lover only in sheets but i can tell that your mother will be highly disappoint and may disowe you."
He said while wiping his own tears which were threatening to come out.
He stood up with an pained expression, almost everyone could see how much pain he is in by his expression alone.
But how ironic.
Beacuse he was happy, after seeing that his little show went well. And the pale and sock expression of princess only add in to his satisfaction.
He got the prey exactly where he wants.
"Princess yuri "
She almost instently look up like an obedient dog listening to her master.
Taehyung had to bite back his tongue to not laugh on her submission.
"Princess yuri i think you should go and rest now you look pretty exhausted."
She immediately stood on her feet and flew back to her room with her assistants trailing behind.
She lock her door and ordered everyone to get out. She don't know what to do or whom to tell. She can't tell her mother because she will nearly kill her.
She don't even know what the royal consort want and to which extant she have to go to keep his mouth shut.
It was almost like a harsh slap from reality by kim taehyung not only she got humiliated again by the royal consort and almost proven as a careless princess who is not worthy of being princess . But her 'little secret' was now in her enemy's hand .
