THE EMPRESS OF THE KING By Lizkookkarea
part 14's

Inside the Royal train Lalice just silent... He was very afraid to see Jungkook's face at this moment. Not a word came out of the two on the way.

Seulgi also came back to the palace with them. He was with the guards on horseback.

After they arrived at the palace just as Jungkook and Lalice had just descended. Seulgi immediately prostrated himself before Jungkook.

"Y-Your Majesty, this is the servant's fault. It was the servant who had invited the Queen to go outside the Palace. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness" constantly begging for forgiveness from Jungkook

"So you took the Queen there?"

"Yes, Your Majesty... The servant is ready to accept his Punishment"

"Of course I'll punish you, the bodyguards take him to the dungeon" Jungkook ordered

"Don't! Don't take him to jail. Her Highness... This is my fault. I'm the one who insisted on leaving the palace" said Lalice defending seulgi

"What are you there for anyway? Understand your position as a Queen. What if something happened to you, like it happened this afternoon!" Jungkook

"And this is also the fault of this servant.." Jungkook while pointing at seulgi

"He can't keep you from leaving the palace, what are you waiting for to bring this servant"

"Your Majesty"

"I beg Your Majesty... Don't rule the law. S-I'll do anything. You can release the whole thing"

"Stop... Let go of the waiter. And you're the Queen, I'll hold your word so be prepared"

Jungkook left Lalice stunned by the change. It was unexpectedly easy that Jungkook released a mouthful.

Now Lalice regretted saying that. He doesn't know what will happen.

"Are you okay, Seul?"ask lalice

"I'm fine Queen... Are you sure what the Queen said?"

"Just calm down, I can handle it"

Meanwhile, Jungkook in his study told Jaemin to empty his schedule tonight.

"Jaemin!" Call Jungkook to his personal assistant.

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Exclude my schedule tonight, because I want to spend my time with the Queen without a hitch"

"Well, I'll do it" after Jaemin's departure. Jungkook can't wait to give 'punishment' to Lalice tonight.

Einzbern Kingdom

Ryujin approached his father who was at work. Seen there Namjoon is busy.

"Appa..." Call Ryujin

Namjoon who initially focused on his work immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

"What's my son?"

"Appa... I'm sure Prince Taehyun is still sad to think about Princess Lalice"

"Hm.. How about you go see the Prince? Maybe now the prince needs a friend next to him" Namjoon gave his daughter some advice

"Oh right too... I'll go there first Yes Appa"

°°°

Ryujin had been looking for Prince Taehyun everywhere but had not met him either. Aha... It seemed like he remembered that if every prince was sad, he would definitely go somewhere to calm his mind.

He went straight to the place and sure enough, Prince Taehyun was daydreaming about the flowers that grew around the tree. That place is the Palace Garden.

"Prince... What are you doing here. And also why were you daydreaming?" Ryujin asked as he approached Taehyun

"I'm thinking about my Noona. The cruel king had taken her by force. I can't take it, what if something happens?" Taehyun said, he still has not received Lalice taken by Jungkook.

"The prince need not worry... I'm sure Princess Lalice will be fine.  Just come with me" Ryujin asked, as if he wanted to comfort Taehyun.

"Just don't ask too many questions... Come on" Ryujin Directly pulled Prince Taehyun's hand

It turned out that Ryujin brought Taehyun to go to the market. Taehyun disguised himself as a commoner. He doesn't want to be people's attention.

"What are we doing here?" Taehyun slightly lowered his head in fear of his disguise being revealed.

"The prince must accompany me... I want to buy this jewelry but I don't know which one to choose" Ryujin is confused because everything looks beautiful.

"Buy this color only..." Point at Taehyun when he sees the sparkling red bracelet.

"As usual the prince has good taste... Sir I bought this yes" Ryujin said with a sweet smile

Taehyun looked at Ryujin's smile as soon as his heart warmed up and his eyes were hypnotized to stare at Ryujin's old face. But he was hurriedly aware of it. Taehyun turned to look at the accessories in front of him. Beautiful, it looks like it would be suitable if worn by Ryujin.

"Ryujin come here I'll put something on you"

Feeling called Ryujin directly approached Taehyun "There's ap-.." Ryujin was shocked when Taehyun's hand slipped his hair behind his ear and clasped something in his hair

"Looks so pretty" Taehyun praised after putting the Hairpin on Ryujin.

The praised ones were embarrassed to hear it. He hid a red tinge on his cheek.

"Thank you"

"What happened to Lalice? Why did His Majesty look angry?" Rose and Lalice were relaxing while drinking the tea the waiter had prepared.

"That's... I made the mistake of leaving the palace without permission. And worse, I almost got bitten by a snake"

"God... It's your fault also why you're so reckless. It's a good thing you didn't get bitten by the snake" his hand took the tea glass and then gulped it slowly

"Not to comfort me but you're advising me" Lalice moved her lips in anguish as her friend and sister-in-law did not support her

"Hahaha I'm sorry, I was just kidding"

°°°

Jimin is searching for the existence of his 'wife' or perhaps more precisely his slave(?). Who else if not Rose's daughter.

"Where is he? I was looking for him... Don't let him run away again"

Not yet had time to guess it was true that Jimin found Rose was with Lalice.

At first Jimin wanted to winnow but like they were talking about something serious.

So he decided to try listening from a distance.

"It looks like they're talking about something I'd better eavesdrop on it"

"But Rose... Maybe it's a rather sensitive question whether you've ever..." Lalice hung up her sentence she hesitated to have to say that

"Ah I understand what you mean... Of course never. I'm not expecting the child of my parents' second killer"

Jimin heard Rose's very clear speech. He clenched both his hands.

"What did you say Rose? The killer of your parents?" Lalice still did not understand the meaning of Rose's words earlier

"Yes, His Majesty the King and Prince Jimin have killed both my parents. That's why I was brought here"

"So Prince Jimin who I thought was a good man was not much different in nature from His Majesty the King?" Lalice could not believe that when she first met Jimin, she had a good impression

"You better know the truth about him. I've planned to escape from this palace. My friend the Prince of the Sky Kingdom will pick me up. I can take you with me too" Rose wants Lalice to come with her. He knew that Lalice was also unhappy living in this palace.

"But Rose... I don't think it's possible-"

"Nothing is impossible... As long as they don't know it we can go quietly"

Jimin who had heard their conversation just let out a smile

You want to run away from me, Rose? It's not that easy
