I'Ll Burn the World for You(Taekook)
5~
Taehyung had spent the entire night wide awake, and now, as morning dawned, he was busily preparing himself for a meeting with the nobles.
Men's Maid
Your highness sire, the king is asking for you.

(Nodded and went out of the room)
Men's Maid
(bowed and left)
Taehyung stepped into the grand conference room, where the nobles were already seated around a majestic round table, awaiting his arrival.
𝚃𝚊𝚎𝚑𝚢𝚞𝚗𝚐
I appreciate your patience, gentlemen.
𝚃𝚊𝚎𝚑𝚢𝚞𝚗𝚐
Let us commence our discussion and proceed with the matters at hand.
The room fell silent as everyone nodded in agreement, and Taehyung, with quiet dignity, took his rightful place beside his father.
Taehyung's father(king)
I summoned you to inform you that this evening, at the celebration of my son's 24th birthday
Taehyung's father(king)
I intend to announce his ascension to the throne, succeeding me as the new king.
As the king's words hung in the air, the room erupted into a flurry of hushed whispers, with all eyes fixed on the soon-to-be-crowned monarch
Lord Soren
Pardon me, Your Majesty (the noble spoke up)
Lord Soren
But with Taehyung reaching his 24th year without a concubine.
Lord Soren
Is it not customary for the future king to have a secured marriage arrangement to ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline?
Everyone else sitting nodded in Soren's response
𝚃𝚊𝚎𝚑𝚢𝚞𝚗𝚐
(taehyung spoke up with a warm smile stick on his face) I disagree!!
𝚃𝚊𝚎𝚑𝚢𝚞𝚗𝚐
Being a king doesn't necessitate having a concubine.
What matters most is my ability to rule effectively.
Lord Soren
But the marriage- (cut off by taehyung)
𝚃𝚊𝚎𝚑𝚢𝚞𝚗𝚐
And about marriage, I'll marry when I find someone I truly love, not simply to fulfill a traditional expectation. (smiled at lord Soren)
Taehyung's father(king)
Lord Soren, I understand the significance of marriage but I trust taehyung's judgement.
Taehyung's father(king)
He will find the right person when the time is right.
Taehyung's father(king)
For now, let us focus on his ascension to the throne, rather than his marital status.
Lord Soren
(Soren's gaze dropped, his eyes averting the king's as he felt a surge of disrespect wash over him)
After a while, the meeting came to an end and all of them went their own ways.
