CHAPTER 1

The carriage rattled as you leaned back, resting your head against the wall, staring into the endless abyss of darkness that swallowed the forest whole. Your thoughts consumed your mind, fidgeting with your fingers as your eyebrows creased. “Princess?” The voice pulled you out of your trance. You glanced to your side, your advisor and bodyguard stared at you with concern written all over his face. “Are you feeling alright my highness?” His voice low and comforting. “I’m alright.. just thinking.” You gave him a small smile.

He nodded, not wanting to press into the matter. He leaned back, sighing. “Are you worried?” He asked, looking outside the window, the moonlight glazing his pale skin. “I’m not. I have to learn how to take care of matters in my own hands. Are you worried for me Jaemin?” You smirked slightly. “Not even the slightest. I know you’ll do well.” Jaemin looked back at you, showing off his pearly whites with his dimple smile. “But get some sleep yeah? Can’t have them see you tired and weak.” You nodded and turned to the window, watching the dark scenery and slowly drifted off to sleep.

You woke up abruptly, Jaemin’s hand on your shoulder, shaking you softly. “Princess wake up, we have arrived..” His voice slightly rough as he guided you out of the carriage. The cold air hit you like whiplash. But that wasn’t the only thing that was cold. You glanced over to your side, the view of the dark, ominous castle sending shivers down your spine. It was tall with pointed roofs, guards at each tower, a flag representing the kingdom of Dune flapping steadily as the wind moved.

Jaemin looked at you, his eyebrows creased. “Are you okay princess?” You gave him a reassuring smile earning a nod from him. The sound of the huge castle doors opening attracted both of your attention as you turned to look. Jaemin stood beside you protectively, his hand on his sword, ready for anything. You stood up straight, wanting to seem more intimidating but the tremble in your breath showed otherwise. Out came soldiers, running in sync as they forming a path for him. You let out a breath you didn’t even know you held back as he approached the entrance.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

The soldiers stomped their boots on the ground in a synchronised manner, “The Emperor has arrived!” One of them yelled out. You frowned slightly and looked towards the doors of the castle. There stood him and two men following closely behind. Your eyes fixed on him, as though some magnetic force were present. It was as if you were caught in the eye of a storm, terrified almost but cannot look away. Your eyes bore on his features almost mesmerised by it.

A towering figure with sleek, blonde hair slicked back, a few strands framing his sharp, chiseled face. His jawline is strong, and his prominent nose adds to his commanding presence. His full, plump lips and a scar through his right eyebrow only enhance the intensity of his piercing brown eyes. Broad shoulders and a slim waist are accentuated by his fitted oriental jacket and pants, which cling to his muscular thighs and biceps. As he moves, his black-and-white robe flows, each long step effortless, his gaze cutting through the crowd of soldiers with quiet power and confidence.

You sucked in a breath as his made his way to you. He finally stood in front of you, his height intimidating your own as he looked down, eyes burning with intensity. He extended his arm for a handshake. “Song Mingi. Emperor of Dune.” His deep raspy voice cut through the tension, face still stoic as ever. You took his hand in a firm handshake. “Y/n L/n. Princess of Eden.” You addressed back politely, earning a nod from Mingi.

“Follow me” Mingi said, turning around and walked towards the doors, you and Jaemin quickly fell in step with his as you approached the entrance. He walked you both through the castle, giving you a brief tour and introduction to the palace. Although you must say that the palace does not look as intimidating from inside as it does from the outside. Mingi finally led you to the meeting room. You were greeted by ministers from both Dune and Eden.

Jaemin guided you to the end of the long wooden table, standing right beside you as you got comfortable in your seat. Mingi sat right opposite to you, his bodyguards or whoever standing in each side. He then cleared his throat, earning the attention of the table. “The Princess has finally arrived. Let’s get into business now shall we?” He said, cutting through the silence as the ministers nodded in agreement.

“My highness, our deepest apologies for the absence of our Queen. She seems to have been.. stuck in Ming for now.” One of your ministers spoke up, bowing his head slightly in the direction of Mingi. “No worries. I still have the Princess to negotiate with.” He said, glancing over at you. Your fingers fidgeted with your skirt underneath the table, your nervousness going unnoticed by almost everyone.

“The Cold War is approaching soon. Dune and Eden seem to be the only allies of the region of Hala which is the north. Since Eden is closer to the borders of the southeast.. it’s more prone for attacks. I’m assuming everyone here knows about this?” Mingi announced to the room, the men around the table nodded slowly, drinking in the known but feared information.

“It is unsafe for our citizens. Ever since the assassination of the king.. the military arms have been inactive and less reliable. Since the truce of Eden and Dune, our people have slowly been shifting into this kingdom. It is only fair someone in power also rules over here to take care of them.” You declared, earning nods and yes’s from around the table. You met Mingi’s eyes, he seemed to be in thought as you noticed his fingers tapping the surface lightly. Then he leaned back, resting his arms upon the table.

“In that case.. the princess will reside here.. she is still young and needs to learn how to become strong. By just looking at her we can see she is still weak and dependent on the Queen and it would be a shame for her to be pushed away.. the princess has potential which I can see and adore. This decision is being taken in regard of both kingdoms, for the safety and wellness of the people. The princess can come back stronger and intelligent to easily take over as the Queen and rule over Eden prosperously.”

Your ministers gasped softly. “But-but my lord.. she’s our only heir.. we need our people to also have eyes on her and guide her properly.. the Queen would-.” One of your people cried out. “Oh don’t be silly. She is in perfect hands here. Our people are highly trained, intelligent and capable to handle the princess’ needs and affairs. And besides I will be by her side. At all times.” Mingi leaned back in his seat, hands resting on the table as his gaze fixated on you. You clenched your jaw, glaring back at the blonde man. Jaemin sighed deeply beside you.

“But let’s say.. the council and I.. agree to this arrangement. But ultimately the choice lies in the hands of my mother. The Queen-.” — “Oh don’t you worry about that, The Queen had already sent me her approval letter and statement.” Mingi cut you off, grabbing the booklet one of the men beside him pulled out and slid it towards you. You grabbed the booklet and went through every single word, trying to find a clause or forgery signs.. but it truly was the real deal.

“Believable enough for you my princess?” Mingi’s voice all high and teasing with a smug expression on his face. Oh the way you wanted to slap it off of him. “So I guess this concludes the meeting. I will arrange your return. You may have the rest of the evening for goodbyes.” Mingi stood up and dismissed the room, walking out with his ministers and soldiers while your people sat dumbfounded. They all looked at you with pity and remorse written all over their faces, even Jaemin’s. But suddenly, You stood up abruptly, startling the men.

“My people.. I know that many of you have feared what this moment means for me, and for our people. It may seem as if I am being sold off, my presence traded for the sake of diplomacy and fragile promises of peace. But hear this clearly, I am not gone.

I may be leaving our castle, our land, and the very soil that raised me. But my heart will remain with you. I am still your princess, your ally, your voice.. I will carry our kingdom with me in every word, every decision, and every action I take. I will learn, I will grow, and one day, I will return. When that day comes, we will be stronger than ever before, and this kingdom will flourish like never before.”

Your voice echoed through the silent room, every person looking at you with newly found astonishment and gratitude. You bowed deeply for your people and walked out, Jaemin following closely behind you. “My princess.. that was amazing. Y-you absolutely nailed that!” Jaemin exclaimed happily, grabbing your shoulders, spinning you to face him. “Your highness! I’m so excited for what comes for us next I cannot wait to adventure this with you-.” — ahem ahem. You and Jaemin whipped your head towards the sound. There stood Mingi ans his two bodyguards behind him. “Am I interrupting something?” Mingi said with annoyance as he glared at the both of you. Jaemin immediately let go of your shoulders and stood protectively.

“No my lord.” You bowed your head down in respect. “I hope you said your goodbyes, wouldn’t want you to regret anything in the morning my princess.” Mingi grinned smugly. “You don’t have to worry about that.” You scoffed. “Show me to my dorm please.” You insisted. Mingi nodded and began walking down the long hallway, his heavy footsteps echoing. You fell in step beside him, the height difference made him smirk slightly.

“This is where you will reside Princess. My dorm is right above yours. If you need anything.. let one of the hall members know.” Mingi nodded and turned to leave. “Wait! W-what about him?” You called out, glancing over at Jaemin. Mingi stopped in his tracks, turning his head, glancing over at you from behind his shoulder. “He will be gone by tomorrow. No need for his room.” You scoffed. “I’m sorry? He won’t be accommodating me anymore?” Your eyes burnt holes in the back of his head. “Like I said princess. My people will be more than enough for your needs. Say your goodbyes and head to sleep.” Mingi stated and left the room, leaving you burning with rage.

“Princess-.” — “How dare he! He’s.. he’s cutting me off from my-.” Jaemin cupped your face, calming you down. “My princess. Please calm down. Your mother wanted this for a long time. She wanted you to be independent and strong enough to handle anything that comes your way. The Queen told me-.”—“You knew!? You knew and didn’t tell me Jae? I- I thought you trusted me! You promised to tell me everything!” You cried out, punching at his armoured chest. “My sweet Y/n.. I had to hide this. For your sake. The Queen and I both knew you would refuse and throw tantrums if brought up earlier.. I’m sorry my princess.” Jaemin sniffed, tears filling his eyes. “God.. what do I do without you jae?” You sobbed, laying your forehead on his chest, arms wrapped around his waist. Jaemin patted your head softly, his other hand resting on the small of your back.

“Remember when we were younger.. you’d chase around small animals with your poorly made leaf dagger in order to “protect” me?” Jaemin chuckled, his chin resting on the top of your head. You sniffled a laugh. “God I was such a foolish child.” You snorted.

“You surely were. But you were brave and strong. You still are.. I will always remember the time you saved that small peasant boy from drowning in the stream. I hadn’t even known you could swim!”—

“It was an impulse! I didn’t want him to die.. I’m not cruel you know.” You pouted and Jaemin pulled back slightly to cup your face, his thumb wiping away tears that left your eyes.

“Y/n, I’ve known you all my live. I’ve seen your good and your bad and you’ve seen mine. If little you could try and scare away little critters that try to “hurt” me using a small leaf or if you could instinctively save a life then imagine the wonders you can do now. You’re strong, intelligent, capable of making your own decisions without hesitation or influence, and your sweet, kind and caring.”

Jaemin smiled at you, his adorable boyish smile that you loved. “I think you have seen the state of this kingdom. Cold, ominous and just utterly pathetic. Show them the light Y/n. Be the light that guides these poor people from the dark.” He said, his voice low and comforting. You nodded, holding tight at his waist, not wanting to let go of him. Jaemin placed a soft kiss on your forehead before pulling back.

“I will miss you my princess. Always remember to reach out whenever you’re distressed or just need to chit chat.” He said, reached out to pat your shoulder. “I will miss you too jae. Don’t forget me!” You teased making him chuckle. “Never.” He whispered before bowing down deeply and walked out of the room, sparing you some alone time.

You stood there, staring at the door he just left through. You felt incomplete without Jaemin by your side. You slowly made your way towards the bed, sliding under the covers and sobbed yourself to sleep, not wanted to wake up the next day to see them leave you in this foreign, cold land.

You stood beside Mingi, your nails scratching the inner corners of your fingers anxiously as you watched the ministers enter the carriages. Your eyes fell on Jaemin as he helped one of the older ministers into the carriage. When he finally met your eyes, he shot you a knowing nod as he climbed into the carriage, making you smile slightly. The castle gates began to open, the sound echoing through the vast valleys and mountains. You let out a sigh and looking down, not wanting to witness the departure. After a while you heard the sounds of the gates closing. You looked up with teary eyes, no one was there anymore. Just you.

“Do you need a day for yourself princess?” His voice called out for you. You turned to your side, Mingi looking down at you, his expression unreadable. “No I’ll be alright. Let’s get started.” Mingi seemed to hesitate a bit before nodding and lead you back into the palace. “I have appointed you a guard and advisor. They will be by your side and report to you only. Let’s go meet them now shall we?” Mingi asked politely. He seems to be weirdly nicer today. You thought to yourself. You nodded at him and he lead you to his office.

The large wooden door creaked open as Mingi pushed through it, holding it open for you to enter. Inside the room 4 men resided. Two of them you recognised as Mingis bodyguards and the other two unidentified. “This is Choi Jongho, army general. He will be your bodyguard, protecting and training you and by your side every step of the day.” Mingi said, gesturing at the man, now called Jongho. Jongho stepped forward, bowing his head in respect. “General Choi at your service princess.” You bowed down to him, smiling softly.

“This is Jung Wooyoung. He will be your advisor. Any questions or concerns, you can tell him, any errands to be ran, he’s by your side. At all times.” Mingi gestured to the other man, wooyoung. Wooyoung was a bit shorter than the rest, his black hair slick back and eyes a bit asymmetrical but still pretty. Wooyoung stepped forward, extending his arm for a handshake you thought. “Jung Wooyoung at your service my princess.” He smirked, you placed your hand in his, watching as he brought the back of your palm to his lips, placing a soft kiss. You smiled, nodding.

“Cut it out. These are my men. Jeong Yunho and Choi San. If I’m not available you can reach out to them as well.” Mingi rolled his eyes in annoyance, earning a snicker from Wooyoung. “Any questions princess?” Mingi asked, looking straight at you. “No sir.” You nodded. “Wooyoung and Jongho will accompany you around the training site. You need to learn basic self defence.” He stepped towards you, towering over you. “Is that understood?” Mingi said, looking down at you, his expression unreadable. “Yes sir.” Your voice came out as a whisper. He simply nodded at you and gestured to follow the other two out. You bowed your head slightly and walked out of the room.

After a detailed tour around the castle and town, the three of you were on the way back to the castle, the cold night air making you shiver. “You cold princess?” Wooyoung asked, looking at your pale face. You nodded and he immediately took off his coat and wrapped it around your shoulders. “I’m wearing multiple layers underneath, loosing one doesn’t really matter to me.” He reassured, flashing a small smile at you and you thanked him. “I-I thought we were training today though?” You asked, glancing over at Jongho who followed the both of you silently.

“You haven’t received the proper clothing for it. You need to be able to move freely to train properly.” Jongho stated. “No worries. We need you to get comfortable and used to the place first right!” Wooyoung exclaimed. You stared back at the man, holding back a smile. “I thought I’d lighten the mood.” He said, looking down, biting his cheeks. You chuckled at his behaviour, finding it adorable.

You crossed your hands across your chest for warmth as Wooyoung walked beside you making some small talk, his hands behind his back and Jongho walked a few steps behind you silently, hand on his sword and highly alert since we were walking through the shallow woods. “We are here. Let’s go in for dinner.” Wooyoung announced and guided you back into the castle, towards the dinning hall.

The huge doors opened to Mingi and his men, Yunho and San seated at the end of the long wooden dining table. “How was training?” Mingi asked, his voice echoing through the hall. “We-.”—“It was good. The princess is a fast leaner, Isn’t that right?” Wooyoung cut you off, shooting a wink at your way. You held back a smile and nodded. Mingi hummed, “Eat. The food will get cold.” He said, gesturing you three to take a seat. You sat between Wooyoung and Jongho. Wooyoung leaned in, his shoulder brushing against yours. “He might get mad if he knew we wasted time today. Tomorrow we train alright? Tell Jongho.” Wooyoung whispered. You chuckled and nodded, turning to Jongho and leaning into his ear to convey Wooyoungs words. Mingi watched the interaction closely, Wooyoung met his eyes and smiled making Mingi roll his eyes.

After dinner Jongho said goodbye to the both of you and returned to his dorm for the night. Wooyoung turned to you, “Let’s get some rest?” Wooyoung asked, smiling softly. You nodded and followed him as he walked towards your dorm. “Could I ask you something princess?” He probed, looking straight head. “Uh sure what is it?”—“Why is it that you are here..? I mean I do know it’s because of the agreement but.. is there another reason?” Wooyoung said, stopping in his tracks and looking straight at you, his eyes held a curious glint. You chuckled. “Shouldn’t you ask your beloved majesty? Even I don’t know why he wants me here.” You replied with a sarcastic tone but you truly were serious. Wooyoung chuckled. “Oh so it was Mingi’s idea huh.” You nodded and resumed walking.

You reached your dorm and turned to Wooyoung. “Thank you for today Sir Jung. Thank you for making me feel more comfortable here.” You smiled and bowed to him. He chuckled at your words. “Wooyoung. Call me wooyoung princess. I don’t need formality between us alright?” You nodded, giggling a bit. You bid him goodbye and waited till he left. You turned to open the door, entering into your room. Your hands felt the wall to find the light switch and flipped it on. You turned around and yelped.

“You did a lot of training today didn’t you princess?” His deep voice sent shivers down your spine. “Why a-are you here?” Your voice came out trembling. He turned around to face you, and oh boy he looked mad. “You three had the audacity to lie to me? Did you really think I wouldn’t find out?” Mingi raised his voice, stalking towards you like a predator to a prey. “I-I’m sorry.. I didn’t-.”—“You didn’t what?”

Mingi stood barely inches away from you, his gaze burning into yours. You stood straight, trying not to feel inferior. “I’ll be accompanying you from tomorrow. I’ll let this time slide but if you repeat this. You won’t like what’s coming. Understood?” Mingi barked down at you. You nodded, eyes glued to the floor, deciding to stay silent but it quickly backfired.

Mingi grabbed your jaw roughly, gripping it in a way forcing you to look up at him,

“Use your words princess or are you illiterate as well? Is that fucking understood?”

He growled, his face inches away from yours. “Y-yes sir. I understand. I won’t repeat it.” You whispered, eyes tearing up just a bit. He nodded and let go of you, walking out of the dorm leaving you dumbfounded. You slammed the door behind him, locking it and headed into the bathroom, stripping yourself of all clothing and ran the shower.

You stood under the warm water as it hit your head, calming you down just a fraction. You felt humiliated and belittled by that selfish bastard of a man. How dare he. You felt your blood burn with anger the more you thought of the interaction. You hopped out of the shower, changing into your pyjamas and headed to bed, making sure the doors and windows were locked, slowly sliding under the comfy covers that felt cold on your skin. You tossed and turned, trying to fall asleep but it never came. You sighed defeated and sat up, stepping out of bed and tied on a robe.

You slowly unlocked and opened your door, looking around just incase and crept down the hallway. Your hands crossed around yourself for warmth as your legs mindlessly walked around the backside of the vast palace. It was dark and windy, small flakes of snow glittered the ground and sky, giving the atmosphere a misty look. You clutched to your robe, spotting a building in the corner of your eye. You squinted to see if whether there was anyone near the area and slithered your way towards the back door, looking around and slipped in.

You let out a soft gasp, taking in the sight in front of you. A vast swimming pool stretches out like a sheet of polished glass, so wide and long that its far edge almost blurs into the distance. The water is a clear, luminous blue, catching the light and rippling softly with slow, gentle movement. Along the sides, smooth stone frame the pool. Your lips curled into a smile as you walked along the sides of the pool, mesmerised by the beautiful architecture. You were so coming back here tomorrow night.

The next morning, you headed out with Wooyoung and Jongho to the study. It was right after breakfast, you felt a bit sulky but motivated to prove Mingi wrong. “Hey uh can I ask you guys something?” You spoke up, earning the attention of both the men. They both nodded, gesturing you to continue. “Yesterday I kind of stumbled upon a.. building behind the palace. It was in the far back, no patrol or anything around the place. I thought it was abandoned but-.”—“Is it the basin?” Jongho cut you off. You nodded earning a hum of agreement from Wooyoung.

“The basin isn’t abandoned, there is regular checking done for the waters but no one uses it. The former king built it for the crown prince himself. But he never used it. No one knows why.” Wooyoung answered, his voice neutral and low. “Is it forbidden to use?” You asked, Jongho chuckled. “No princess it isn’t forbidden. You can still use it but incase you drown, don’t bother screaming as no one will hear you. The basin is located in a.. let’s say a secluded area. It’s a bit far from the palace and right next to the woods.”

“How did you even find it in the first place? Were you out of your dorm at night?” Wooyoung asked almost concerningly. “I saw during our tour.. that’s all.” You lied smoothly. Wooyoung nodded and continued walking in silence. You finally reached the study, Wooyoung stepped inside, holding the door open for the both of you.

The study wasn’t too small. It was just right. A big wooden desk in the middle, a whole wall filled with books, seating area and more book shelves. It was a perfect little space. You sat opposite to Wooyoung and Jongho, they were discussing amongst themselves on something you couldn’t quite understand. You stayed quiet, not wanting to interfere and looked around the room.

“Do you know anything about our clans? Their history?” Wooyoung’s voice brought your attention back on them. You nodded, “A bit.” Wooyoung sighed and turned to his side, grabbing a book off the table and slid it towards you. “Let’s start off with a debrief then.” He smiled and began teaching you about the different clans, their history, their diverse cultures, what their known for and what they contribute to the motherland.

After what felt like an eternity you somewhat learned something. Wooyoung sighed tiredly, leaning back in the chair, shutting the book abruptly. “I will test you tomorrow. I have to make sure you really learnt.” Wooyoung smirked seeing you roll your eyes at him. You nodded and leaned back, closing your eyes for a brief moment.

“Is this what you call learning?” Your eyes shot open at the familiar voice. You looked up and saw Mingi staring daggers at your state. You sat up and looked down at your lap. “We just completed our session.” You said, earning a scoff from Mingi. “Doesn’t look like it.” He rolled his eyes in annoyance. You looked up at him, frowning. “What do you know. You just came in.” You jabbed at him. Wooyoung and Jongho’s eyes widened at your retort while Mingi just stared at you.

“Now if you excuse me. I’ll be in my dorm.” You said, picking up your books and walked past Mingi, Jongho and Wooyoung following behind you. Wooyoung snorted, “Where did that come from now? I thought you were shit scared of him!” Wooyoung exclaimed, nudging at your shoulder making you chuckle. “I have no reason to be scared of him. It’s Mingi that’s supposed to be scared of me.” Jongho snickered behind you both making you giggle. “Well aren’t you going to join us for dinner?” Jongho asked. “I’m not hungry.. I think I’ll just go straight to bed. All this studying is killing me.” You groaned making Wooyoung smile. They both bid you goodbye as you reached your dorm and left. You set your books aside on the table and changed into your casual clothes. “I’ll go swimming next time. I need to study tonight.” You reminded yourself and dove straight into your books.

You finally completed your studies into the late hours of the night. Moonlight casting a subtle shine on your face as you looked out of the window, into the gardens. It was yet again another cold and snowy night. You knew this would be the way you will spend your nights every day til you leave. You sighed and put away the books, blowing at the candle to extinguish it and got up, grabbing your towel and headed into the bathroom. You slid off the straps of your dress, untying your boots, sliding down your underpants and inner skirt, hopping into the hot shower.

You stepped out, wrapping the towel around your torso and went into the bedroom, standing before your cupboard trying to find your night gowns.

knock knock knock

You flinched, clutching at your towel, begging for it not to fall. You stayed quiet, hoping the person would leave. But they didn’t, they knocked again, harder. You grabbed your clothes, changing quickly and went towards the door, standing before it, hesitant. The knocks grew harder and more aggressive. “Y/n open the door.” A familiar voice called out for you from the other side. You still hesitated, staying silent and still. “Y/n it’s Mingi. Open the door now. I know you’re awake.” You held your breath, grabbing at the handle. You opened the door only to find Mingi jump at you, his palm clamped around your mouth, keeping you silent while his other hand wrapped around your arms, keeping you still. Your eyes were wide with confusion and fear. He pushed inside, shutting the door with his leg, his eyes never left you.

“If I let go of you, will you say quiet for me?” He asked, no no he demanded. You nodded slowly as he let go of you, standing straight. You took in a deep breath, hoping he would give you an explanation for this predicament. Mingi’s eyes scanned the room silently. “What’s going on?” Your voice came out soft and trembling. Mingi looked at you, letting out a sigh.

“There was an attack at the border.” his voice soft. “Your.. your ministers and guards that were returning back to Eden were ambushed.” Mingi looked down, looking as though he was guilty.

You froze at his words, breath hitched and eyes now teary. “Someone must have tipped off the neighbouring kingdoms.. someone internal. A mole in the palace.” Mingi looked up at you, his face concerned but stern. You clenched your jaw, anger flowing through your veins. “You said they would be fine? That the road was so safe for them. You.. you gave out false reassurance to all of them Mingi.” You muttered, glaring at the tall blonde. “Princess, I hadn’t known we had a mole-.” —

“Do not give me your fucking excuses! You- you promised them.. you promised me that they’d be safe! That they’d get home on time! God and it’s been days since they left.. and now it just means that they have been captured for so long without anyone’s knowledge.” You began spiralling, hands gripping at your night gown, angry tears flowing down your cheeks, your lips quivering.

Mingi walked towards you despite telling him to stay back. He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into his embrace. You sobbed into his chest, wetting his shirt. “Shh.. calm down y/n.” He said, gently patting your back. “Why- why was their route plan public? You could have just kept it to yourself and the guards and-.” — “Like I said princess, it is an inside job. Someone close is the mole. That is why we cannot risk sharing this information to anyone, the mole could be a guard, advisor or even a minister.” Mingi cut you off, reminding you of his words once more.

“I should’ve been there with them..! This is all your fault! You didn’t let me go, keeping me here like your slave and for what!” You cried out, pushing him back so he could see exactly how mad you were.

“You would have been taken too! I would have to help your stubborn ass either way. And you’re right, I have no reason to keep you here. You’re useless to me. The only reason I agreed was because of how close I was with the Late King.” Mingi growled, causing your breath to hitch.

“Now that we have that clear, cooperate with me for bit more so that you can get your people back and leave this place you call hell hole. Train and learn properly, and we’ll find your men in no time. Understood?” He said, his face not showing an ounce of emotion anymore. You clenched your jaw, too frustrated to listen to his words anymore. “Get out.” You whispered. “For gods sake Y/n”—“Get out!” You cut him off, yelling now. Mingi exhaled sharply and turned around, stepping out of the room, slamming the door shut.

You let out a sob, falling to your knees as guilt ate you whole. You felt guilty that you couldn’t be there for them or had even known about it sooner so you could act faster. You sobbed into your palms. Jaemin. You gasped softly, they had Jaemin too. You broke down crying at the thought of something happening to Jaemin. You couldn’t let that happen. You were going to make whoever did this pay.

You sat at the end of the long wooden table of the meeting hall. The place giving you déjà vu but it wasn’t the same. Instead of Jaemin beside you it was Wooyoung. He held a look of concern and worry for you but you assured him you were fine. Mingi walked into the room with Yunho and San right behind him. He sat opposite to you, his face stoic as ever. You rolled your eyes at him before straightening up to seem professional and calm though inside you were dying.

“Terrible news was brought back to us last night. The men of Eden, the ministers, guards and advisors of the council of Eden were ambushed and taken away. We don’t know who did it but we most probably know their motive for it. This is the Souths way of announcing war on the North. I have already sent a letter to the East, the Kingdom of Sang. Emperor Bahng will reluctantly join us, so no doubt in that. Anyone else suggests anything?” Mingi announced the room, letting everyone know of the recent events.

“Which region is close to your borders? If im not wrong.. the kingdom of Wonderland governed by Emperor Kim and the kingdoms of The Lost Island and Shadow reside also nearby right. They all too have motives of expanding into the north and in order to do that they would have to start wars. I say we look into those three for now, incase nothing really shows up we expand our options. But at all costs we do not give up. Understood?” You gave out your calculated answer, earning yes’ and nods from the men around the table.

Mingi nodded, giving out orders everyone and sent them off leaving you, Jongho and Wooyoung left in the room. “There is something I need you both to look into.” Mingi addressed to Wooyoung and Jongho. They straightened up listening to what Mingi had to say.

“So there is a mole among us now?” Jongho rolled his eyes in annoyance. Mingi nodded at him. “I need you both to figure out who is it. It is someone close, that’s guaranteed. You need to do this task simultaneously as you train princess y/n. We can’t have her be a liability to us incase what she said was right. If we do go into war, we need all hands on deck. Understood?” Jongho and Wooyoung agreed and got ready to leave.

“Jongho. Start with self defence today.” Mingi called out. You frowned at him. “I thought you were going to quiz me?” You asked confused. He shook his head, “You seem well revised. From now we teach you how to defend yourself and others incase of attacks. But along with that you need to study too. You grasp information quickly so I doubt it would be a headache for you.” You smirked at his words and nodded, exiting the room along with Wooyoung and Jongho.

“Well can I just say that you seemed so very very hot being all smart ass back there.” Wooyoung teased making you blush, “Well I had good teachers so~” you teased back, nudging at Wooyoung and Jongho making them giggle. “Are you upset?” Jongho spoke up, his voice soft but firm. You shook your head. “I have no reason to be. Yes I was upset at first but it isn’t something I can control. In whatever scenario that would have happened I just hope Jaemin and the others are alright. That’s all I pray for.” You sighed deeply, feeling tears fill of your eyes again.

“Can I ask. Who really is Jaemin. I don’t believe he is just your bodyguard and advisor. Ooo is he your boyfriend?” Wooyoung wiggled his eyebrows. You slapped his shoulder. “Jaemin isn’t my boyfriend. He is my brother type friend I’ve had since I was a child. That’s why we’re so close.” You smiled thinking of how you were as kids with him. “That’s cute. Well come on now today is gonna be a long day of hard work.” Wooyoung said walking forward.

Yeah.. long day.
