Astray love

Yeongjun got escorted down a few halls into an easing bath full of rose petals she got fitted into a dress the waist is thin, but it was a tight fit. A large belt helps accentuate her waist in a stylish manner. Below the waist, the dress fits snugly around her and has a tulip style. The dress reaches just below her feet and is the same length all around. After she faced all the dreadful preparations she was guided to the queen's chambers Yeongjun examined the luxurious room lit up by the candle lights. The queen poured herself wine, Yeongjun felt too tense to approach her just the thought was distressing. "Come closure," The Queen ordered, "yes your Majesty," Yeongjun answered following her orders. "Do you want to forget?" she asked with an amused smile on her face. Yeongjun nodded no, still holding in her tears, she found it helped to latch onto her hatred to keep her composure, "Your people won't know who you are, and you shouldn't either," The Queen implied with a bit of enjoyment. "why would you do that to them," Yeongjun yelled falling to her knees. "That was the only way I would let them leave alive, I don't need them knowing any new escape routes to tell your father. your so naive," The Queen giggled. "are you happy now," Yeongjun responded. "I plan to get to know you, now what's your name," the queen chimed deflecting her question. They both fell Into silence, Yeongjun's eyes were questioning the queen's reply to her unanswered question "It's Choe Yeongjun, can I send a letter to my father before you try to take my memories," Yeongjun asked with hope filling up her mind. "only if he doesn't show up tomorrow, know I will be checking your letter before it is sent," The Queen allowed. She then let out a long yawn and grabbed Yeongjun's hand And guided her to the silky blankets Yeongjun sat up while watching the queen lie down and shut her eyes, "You can't kill me if that's what your thinking. I urge you to get some rest," the queen spoke in a low audible voice. Yeongjun eyes squinted "Now she is a mind reader I'm already sick of this place," she pondered after lying down, Yeongjun turned away surprised at how innocent she looked she cursed her beauty silently before deciding to go to sleep. "Hey, wake up," a voice uttered, She promptly opened her eyes finding herself unbearably close to the queen's face she quickly sat up watching a servant help the queen off of her gratifying bed. She let out a giggle at Yeongjun's expression, the other servants greeted Her. "My grace, I hoped you had an enchanting night with the queen," one woman smiled. "Enchanting all right," she thought to herself and rolled her eyes internally. "Today is the day we present you to the kingdom, we've invited your father along with your people," she informed. Yeongjun furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and uncertain of their safety, Yeongjun quickly followed them and noticed the queen going her separate way with her servants "Now we will be heading to a private chamber for you to practice in, you will dance for the banquet," The servant announced. then the servant strikes a pose waiting for Yeongjun to copy. "tilt your head, lift your chin, higher, no not that high," the servant began to laugh at how ridiculous and cute Yeongjun looked while trying to copy her. The servant walked behind her and guided the movements and poses the dancers practice separately they will dance around you now the key is to not get distracted and "keep your eyes on the queen, your dance will represent the tie between you and the queen and the longevity of your bond," the servant cheered with a thrilled expression. "If only I could be as happy as this wide-eyed servant," Yeongjun moped, the sequence she practiced grew tiring she lost count of her attempts and was finally stopped by the servant "This is when you go up to her Majesty and reach your hand out to her and she will take it from there," the servant rejoiced "not sure what that means but I shouldn't worry too much about it," Yeongjun affirmed. Yeongjun could now only think about her father's view of her name she wanted him to see her as his daughter not as a traitorous girl he never could trust again. The servant helped Yeongjun fit into an appealing dress that covers her shoulders and flows down into a fancy plunging neckline. It's a relaxed fit that removes the focus from her breasts, but without making them look sloppy.

Her arms have been covered fully. The sleeves start out loose and tighten towards the bottom where they wrap gracefully around her wrists. the servant lead her to the banquet held in the courtyard, the evening sun's dim light shined through the trees and city structures. They also illuminated the hanging decorations and alluring feast resting on a wide table the queen watched Yeongjun surprised expressions at the enticing display from the extravagant and comfortable iron benches, all of which are diagonally facing the throne. Those of higher standing can instead take a seat on the lavish balcony next to the throne. The dancers walked in through the gates in front of the inhabitants they all pushed their way in to get greeted by the loud drums along with a singer bellowing elegant notes to a mysterious melody, Yeongjun followed a trail of rose petals and grains of rice that traced the fascinating sculpture engraved in the ground of an immense mountain and the snake-like holes were filled with water the dancers waited until Yeongjun reached the middle they all went into the same pose Yeongjun struggled with in the beginning. Yeongjun began to dance as did the performers they walked in circles around her and began to skip and run Yeongjun did as she was told and gazed deeply into the queen's eyes as did she, she studied her movements and focused expressions the dancers then made an opening for her to approach the queen. Yeongjun came forward moving her long sleeve on her forearm it served as a cloak for her face, she placed her hand behind her back and broke eye contact when she bowed and reach her hand out for the queen to grasp it. The queen grabbed it and stood up and raised their hands to the sky. The people all roared the same praise five times. "Your father decided not to come, I wonder what could be the delay," The Queen whispered covering the other side of her face with a fan so no one could see what their conversation was about. "I swear if it is you-," Yeongjun spoke with venom "I wouldn't, let's finish this talk later the queen," suggested. Yeongjun took a seat getting ready to eat after her majesty's speech, an unanticipated arrow pierces through the queen's heart and she stumbled back leaning on the arm of the throne, "how are you, not dead," Yeongjun asked. She moved back a few feet falling onto the floor The Queen's eyes changed to a ghostly color she suddenly let out an earsplitting shriek it was unnerving and inhuman but served as a warning to the invaders. "My father is going to die for this," she could only think while trembling in fear.
