Chapter # 4

Jungkook was amused to see a girl riling Taehyung up. Well, he was famous among the girls back in capital but it seemed things have changed since the past two weeks. Jungkook could hear a familiar soft jingle which he chose to ignore. To ease up the matter between the two hostile people. he said with a firm and confident voice.

"Miss, he is with us. You must be mistaken. We-"

"I am hardly mistaken. And by his expression, it doesn't look like he expected you here."

The girl said with arrogance pointing at Taehyung with accusation. "So, don't try to act smart. I am no fool."

She said with malice and turned to Taehyung to which he pushed himself further in the wall, only if he could. "And you, stop following my brother." With that she stomped her foot and on her way out of the street bumped into Jungkook's shoulder to make her point. With her gone, Jungkook realized that he had met her before but when? She did look familiar to him in way he can't figure out. Before he could reach to a conclusion. Jin cut his thought.

"She is the one. She has everything it takes to be a queen. At least she is confident in her self and she knows what she knows.....I say leave the damn list and ask that girl to escort us."

All the men looked at him as if he were crazy. Taehyung was the first to retort. "Never in a million year is she going to rule the kingdom with our boy. Didn't you see her attitude-"

"That's what we want. We received a royal command and we must make haste. We don't have time to look for the rightful queen. Hence, we need someone who can play it and I see that she has it in her to influence the court."

Jungkook listened to Jin carefully. Calculating his every word. Though he did not want to but Jin must have seen something in her putting his trust in Jin, he said, "Then let's pursue her."

"NOT YOU TOO!" Taehyung wailed in despair but all three of the men had already turned their backs on him.

Jungkook saw her walking into a ship, Cymopoleia. They followed her to the deck. She was busy giving breads to the sailors who were more than happy to be in her company. While two men were shouting at each other at a distance. One looked like a Captain dressed in fine clothes while other did not look like he belonged here in the first place.

"I did not call for you. It was you who asked for me." The captain laughed toppling over his stomach. "Yeah! Indeed. Brother, you have grown old hence you keep on forgetting that it was you who asked me to stay here in the first place."

As both of them men tried to make their point. None of the people tried to interfere. A sailor passed by the intruders. He eyed them and shouted.

"Captain, We have beggars on our deck."

Who does he think he is? Thought Jungkook. Both of the men stopped quarrelling and glared at them. Jungkook could hear Taehyung muttering something to Namjoon which he ignored as a grunt.

"Who are you?" "Who the hell are you?"

Simultaneously, both of them asked and then looked at each other with disgrace.

"You followed me till here!" Said the girl in astonishment. It clicked then. Jungkook heard something familiar last night. It was the girl who gave him bread. Those jingles, he had heard them before. Jungkook kept looking at her with surprise. Noticing the environment, Namjoon stepped in and said, "We would like to have a word with you miss?"

Before the girl could say something, the two men jumped as if someone stepped on their tail.

"What do you want with my sister?"

"What do you want with our sister?"

Namjoon gulped with a new fear rising. He has never felt this way before. The girl rescued the poor General. "Hoseok, Yoongi, Keep calm." Then she turned and made eye contact with Jungkook which broke his spell and he cleared his throat before she asked. "What is it then? I am all ears."

All the sailor were munching and enjoying the show while a stranger was observing every thing from a distance.
