Chapter # 3

The Next Morning didn't start well for Jungkook. The moment he woke up, he was surprised to see his general here. In a strong metal armor stood the general with a royal scroll in his hand. Jin was there too. He seemed worried. Never in their travel had they received a royal message.

Scrambling out of the bed, he rushed to the general who bowed on respect before delivering his responsibility.

"My Prince, your cousin has caused a chaos, you father requested your presence at the palace."

Now that was something he did not expect. His cousin was a mischievous and notorious man. Though he was next in line after him, if he doesn't provide the empire with an heir... then they can say good bye to the Country. His cousin was a materialistic and a cunning man who is not wise enough to rule.

Opening the seal, Jungkook read the contents and indeed something terrible has happened.

" If we return without the Queen, it will give your cousin a way to turn the court against you."

" The duke is right. We must bring the Queen with us."

Jungkook listened to both of them and he knew they were right but a Queen can't just pop out of nowhere. Where could they search for her.

"General Namjoon, find a girl to escort us by tomorrow. We must return and with a bride."

Taehyung was missing by the time Jungkook reached his room. He thought this must be because Taehyung doesn't like these kind of places. But how wrong he was. With a sigh Jungkook left his room and joined the two men who had been waiting for him.

"I have gathered a rough information about respectable families here. Some might have spinsters."

Namjoon passed a paper to Jungkook while Jin added his opinion. " Even if we can't find a girl who can marry you at least we can find someone who can play Queen for the mean time."

"I guess it makes sense. We shall do something before Mu Byeong makes his move."

They left right after that to find the bride. Little did they know they might find certain other thing along the way.

Taehyung woke up early in the morning and went to Suga's house. He waited and waited. He even dozed off. He woke up startled with the voice of a door closing. Suga was standing talking to a girl. He looked agitated while the girl looked disappointed. He stomped his foot like a toddler and followed the girl. After a minute Taehyung follows suit.

He kept his distance as the two walked through the crowd. People were shouting, boarding and unloading the stuff. Some seemed to be bargaining while some were cursing. It was a port. A fleet of ships from best to worst were lined by the harbor. Taehyung had his eyes off them for a moment and the next he had lost them. He started looking hastly, he picked some names and jokes among the sailors.

As he passed by a narrow street, he was pulled from his neck into a place with not many people. He looked at the rude person to find the girl escorted by Suga. She was beautiful. That was what Taehyung thought.

"Why were you following us?"

The demand had the Viscount disturbed. Never in his life had he heard such a tone directed to him. He forgot his initial thoughts and with his genetic attitude said, " Who said I was following you!"

The girl scoffed and walked near him like a predator. The glint in her eyes was terrifying to him. He gulped but stood his ground. When she got closed to him. He noticed that she smelled good. More than good perhaps.

"I saw you by the time we left our home. Do you have money on him?"

She inquired with the same confidence. Taehyung lost his patience. It was out of spite.

" I AM A VISCOUNT! How dare you talk to me like that?."

She looked at him as if he were crazy. Then she laughed, hard. Even her laugh was melodious to him.

"Yeah, right. I viscount in rags. I believe you."

This made Taehyung more angry. Before he could say anything in his defense they were interrupted by a party.

" Taehyung!?!"

Hearing the voice both of them loomed simultaneously at the person. Stood there by the street were Jin, Jungook and Namjoon. All with a questioning look. As the girl turned, Jung kook heard a familiar...
