BTS Time Travelers
Chapter 23: Being the Princess's Beloved

Jimin/Evander: "You mean the Emperor?!"

Emperor: "When my daughter Estefania rejected Prince Rezel, there was a debate between them until finally my daughter said that she already had the Man she loved. Of course it made Prince Rezel angry and almost rampaged, fortunately my Son Prince Danzell immediately responded. He submitted a Battle treaty, in which case the Chrysantha Empire side won. Prince Rezel had to promise not to forcefully marry Princess Estefania and not to interfere with the Chrysantha Empire. But if we lose, Princess Estefania will marry Prince Rezel without rejection."

Jimin/Evander: "Then?! What's the deal?!"

Emperor: "The problem is that Prince Rezel will only fight with the Man my Daughter loves and accept the Battle. My real daughter Estefania has lied to her, there was never a man she loved. That's why we were confused to choose a candidate who would do Battle as my daughter's lover."

V/Shazz: "What does this have to do with us?!"

RM/Eryx: "Wait!! Don't tell me you....????!"

The words of RM who hung curious other Bangtan members, they still do not understand the true intentions of the Emperor. While the Emperor only nodded hearing RM's words.

Emperor: "We need your help. Exactly you, Arsen!!"

Jungkook who did not know and arrived - his name was immediately mentioned was surprised.

RM/Eryx: "Sorry Emperor. We can't do it."

Emperor: "Why?!"

RM/Eryx: "I feel like this is beyond our responsibility. We don't want to interfere in the affairs of the Chrysantha Empire, let alone take part in it."

Hearing RM's rejection, the Emperor's face turned red, but he soon regained his composure. Sighing heavily many times and showing his frustrated face.

Emperor: "I can give you anything! Power?! A treasure?! The lady?! Or whatever else?! You guys just say it!" the Emperor memgebu.

RM/Eryx: "We can't."

Emperor : "But.... "

Not yet had the Emperor finish his words, Jungkook who increasingly did not understand what happened, let alone his name was brought - bring instant anger.

Jungkook/Arsen: "Yakkhh!!! Can you please explain to me what happened?! You're all about me but you're not telling me anything at all."

The emperor who turned towards Jungkook immediately put on a hopeful face. Hopefully he can persuade the young man to accept his offer.

Emperor : "Arsen. Can you help me?!"

Hearing the Emperor's words made Jungkook tilt his head in wonder.

Emperor: "Be the Beloved of my Daughter Estefania!"

"WHAT....!!!!!" Members of Bangtan other than RM and Jin who already knew the true intentions of the Emperor were only able to be surprised to hear the Emperor's words.

Emperor: "Help us! Be Estefania's lover and represent us in a match with Prince Rezel at the Battle."

Jungkook/Arsen : "Emperor. Isn't this the same way you told me to lie in front of everyone?! Why should I?! You don't even know my background. How do you allow me to be the Beloved Princess of Estefania. What if we are not good people?! Or even a fugitive?!"

Emperor: "Of course I believe in you. I trust my intuition more than the birds out there."

Jungkook/Arsen: "Why did you choose me?! Why not my other brother?!"

Emperor: "It was easy. Because your age and my daughter are not too far away and most importantly because your Element is Darkness. Although Prince Rezel of the Kingdom is small but he has a power that cannot be underestimated. One of them was an illusion of his own that was extremely deadly and could only be resisted by the same Element user as him."

Hearing the conviction and determination of the Emperor to choose Jungkook made the Bangtan members more confused to refuse him. They were simply unlikely to create a conflict with the Chrysantha Empire because it was extremely dangerous for them. And if Prince Rezel knew the lies of Princess Estefania, the thing that was most feared was the war between the 2 Great Continents that might have spread throughout the entire Continent. Indirectly it will also have an impact on Bangtan members later.

In silence, the Bangtan members communicate with each other through telepathy to reach a final decision that makes Jungkook only able to exhale rough.

Jin/Gleen: "Alright, we're ready. From now on, Arsen is Princess Estefania's lover."

RM/Eryx: "But what about Princess Estefania?! Will he agree?!"

Emperor: "Of course. Because he has no other choice. Thanks to you guys. As I promise whatever you want in the future, I'll give you."

Member Bangtan only smiled awkwardly at the Emperor's words. I hope that their decision is right.

.........

The night was getting late, the Bangtan members were already in their respective rooms that had been prepared by the previous Emperor. But Jungkook could not sleep at all, the approval of the Emperor's request continued to fill his mind. Makes him think of everything that might happen.

Jungkook/Arsen : "Arrghh!!! Why is it like this!!" he said frustrated while shuffling his hair.

Trangg... Tranggs... Tranggs...

Sayup - sayup heard the sound of a sword clash in the middle of the silence of the night, making Jungkook frown in wonder. He stood up from his bed, trying to sharpen his hearing again. What he was afraid of was the impromptu attacks that had occurred in the Imperial Palace, not wanting to waste any time, not wanting to waste any time, he jumped out of the window and ran on the roof of every palace building trying to find the origin of the sound of the sword.

He stopped his run and stood on one of the roofs, looking at the female figure who had always looked graceful and meek all this time was practicing the sword hard. The woman stood with a pile of her sword, her breath was heard - stinging with gusts in each breath that felt heavy and rough. It shows how long and hard he trained.

Jungkook/Arsen: "I never thought. It turned out that Princess Estefania who looked elegant turned out to be so fierce when holding a sword?!" Jungkook said sarcasm.

Of course his words were able to make Princess Este turn around in surprise, realizing there was someone watching him. Jungkook jumped down from the roof high enough, his wind-blown robe made him look dazzling, let alone with the small smile he displayed, increasingly radiating the charisma he possessed.

Princess of Estefania: "Anggun does not mean weak!!" princess Este's reply was resolute after realizing who the person before her was.

While Jungkook just smiled faintly in response.

Jungkook/Arsen: "What if Princess Estefania exchanges some sword styles with me?!"

Princess Estefania: "By pleasure."

In the empty air, suddenly appeared a black-handled sword with several crystal stones adorning it in Jungkook's grasp. They also began to put up positions to attack each other.

The wind began to ripple around them as if trying to break the silence that existed, some of the falling leaves were also lulled into the wind.

Jungkook/Arsen: "Element Wind?!" jungkook said with a slanted smile.
