THE EMPRESS OF THE KING By Lizkookkarea
part 17's
***
Now King Jungkook and his Queen Lalice have come out of the palace and set out for the city by Royal train.
"I would like to ask.. Should we wear clothes like this King?" Lalice was still astonished
"Should! I told you before we should go undercover, lest the people recognize us. I just want the two of us to be free to walk around there without anyone bothering"
"But this shirt is too flashy"
"Leave it... What matters is they won't recognize us there"
Lalice did not dare to protest again, she chose to remain silent until the train stopped because it had arrived at its destination.
Jungkook tells his guards to lower them away from the crowd. Because the people will definitely recognize the train they are carrying. Moreover, it was a Royal Train.
"You guys just wait here, later after this festival is over you're gonna have to find us, okay?" Jungkook gave the order
"Understand Your Majesty, we will do it" they replied
"Good, let's get the Queen over there"
***
There seemed to be people enjoying the festival.There were many merchants selling clothes, antiques, food and so on.
Jungkook and Lalice walk past them all. But people looked at them with gazes like holding back a laugh.
"Hey you didn't see that there was a couple wearing strange clothes" said someone to his friend but could still be heard by Jungkook and Lalice. Namin they both chose silence, ignoring the man's words.
"I've said before, we'll definitely be the center of attention because of this shirt, Your Majesty.." Lalice's whispers are still protesting
"Just ignore them, you better enjoy the festival. You've been wanting to get out of the palace for a long time, haven't you?" Jungkook said as he looked at Lalice and raised his right eyebrow
Lalice was embarrassed, she should be grateful that at least Jungkook was still willing to think about it. By inviting Lalice to come out of the palace and tour the city in the Kingdom of Heaven. Well, despite Lalice's main wish, she wants to go home to her parents' palace, in Einzbern. It's pretty good too.
While walking around there, Lalice found a food vendor.
"Look at it there. Well it looks like it's delicious" Lalice stared in amazement at the food. He wants to taste it
Jungkook traversed to the place Lalice pointed to, then looked back into the eyes of his wife who continued to see the food there.
Looks like he really wants that...
"You wait here, I'll buy it"
Lalice nods her head in affirming Jungkook's words
***
Lisa waited long enough but Jungkook never came. He was bored so he tried to walk around where he was waiting. He saw a lot of jewelry that caught his attention
"A good bracelet... I'm gonna go get these 7 bracelets how much they cost?"
"10 gold coins only lady"
Then Lalice gave the gold coin away
"Wait a minute I'll wrap this up first... Stir where it is" the merchant was busy looking for cloth to wrap it
As the merchant was busy searching, suddenly a hand pulled Queen Lalice away from the crowd.
"Mcphh..." Lalice's mouth was smothered so she couldn't scream.
"Sst Shut up or I do something to you"
The merchant had already finished wrapping his bracelet but the figure of the Lady did not exist.
"uh? Where's the Lady? Maybe he was in a hurry... I'll keep it first maybe he'll take this bracelet later."
***
Meanwhile, Jungkook had just finished buying the food his wife wanted earlier
When he returned his wife was not there.
"Lalice?" Jungkook's eyes traced every place but still haven't found Lalice
A woman approached Jungkook..
"Sorry, are you looking for the Lady who was waiting here?" Ask him
"Well she's my wife, did you see her? I told him to wait here" asked Jungkook, who started panicking
"I-it was that I accidentally saw the master's wife was visiting the bracelet seller's place but suddenly she was pulled by a man towards the forest"
Jungkook clenched his hands, who would dare to kidnap his wife? I won't spare him
"I'm sorry my master didn't dare to save Lady, because that man was so scary" the woman felt guilty for not helping Lalice when she was kidnapped by the man.
"It's okay that it's important you've told me about my wife's whereabouts"
Jungkook soon follows Lalice hoping they haven't gone far from here
***
"Let go!" Lalice jerked the man's hand so that the grip slipped off
"It seems to be safe here and quite far from the reach of many people" the man approached and held Lalice's chin and raised his face to look at her
"Your face is as beautiful as a dear princess if wasted" the man's hands brashly stroked Lalice's cheeks but soon Lalice tepis
"How dare you touch me I am Queen Jeon Lalice, I warn you once again to let me go before the King punishes you!"Threatening Lalice to the man, she tried to show her courage even though her body was still shaking
"Omong empty! You can't scare me by claiming to be a queen. Where there's a Queen hanging around here" Suddenly the man pulled Lalice's shirt and tore off the top. Almost the front was exposed earlier if someone did not stop him immediately.
"Arghh ta-my hand" the man cried out in pain as his right hand was slashed
"Your Majesty!" Lalice hugged Jungkook
"Your Majesty..I-I'm so scared" Lalice said with a trembling mouth
Jungkook saw the condition of Lalice whose top was almost open. Jungkook instantly gave his Cloak to cover the body.
"Wear this first, I'll take care of this trash first"
Jungkook pointed his sword under the man's chin while slightly scraping his neck
"Y-His Majesty the King a-forgive servant did not know that he was a Queen" the man immediately prostrated himself begging for the King's forgiveness.
"You think it's easy to apologize after what you did to my wife... I will not forgive you!"
"Akh.." complained Lalice who suddenly hurt her stomach. Jungkook also lost his focus by paying attention to lalice so that the man used this to run away
"Stop! Don't run away" Jungkook was about to chase but was arrested by his wife
"Just let Your Majesty do what matters is that you have come here. I can be more calm"
"You're okay, right?"
"I'm fine even though I'm still a little afraid of what happened"
Lalice's body was still shaking violently with the incident, Jungkook who saw it was so pitying that he hugged his wife tightly
"It's safe now so don't be afraid I'm here"
"Yes. hyx.."
"It's my fault, I'm sorry I shouldn't have left you alone" Jungkook felt guilty
"It's not His Majesty's fault"
"Hm. Then we should go back to the festival but you're okay, right? Or do we just go back to the palace?" Jungkook confirmed Lalice's condition while putting on his robe to cover the wife's body because the top of Lalice's shirt was slightly torn.
"I'm fine, we have to see the lantern lights immediately.Please if you miss it" Lalice invites Jungkook.
Just as Lalice was about to leave her hand was held by Jungkook "Wait..."
"What's wrong?" Ask astonishment
"Hold my hand"
"Yes? Wh-what?"Said Lalice in a stammer. His hand was held tightly by Jungkook
"Other times I won't leave you alone anymore" Jungkook said in a soft tone and a slight smile on his lips
Suddenly Lalice's heart was racing.
What is this feeling, my heart is beating so fast... May the King not hear it
***
Everyone around the city was busy gathering near the lake to see the lights that were flown tonight
There are also those who prepare their own lights to be flown
Meanwhile, the couple, titled King and Queen, seemed to enjoy the beautiful scenery without being known by others because of their disguises
3,2,1... They counted down to fly the lights together

"Look at His Majesty it's so beautiful" Lalice stared in amazement at the sight of the lantern being flown that much
Jungkook who from earlier noticed Lalice's face rather than the view of Lantern in front of him

"Very beautiful.You are even more beautiful than the scenery there" said Jungkook whose eyes could not be separated to continue staring at his wife.
Because he was busy paying attention so that Lalice did not listen to what Jungkook just said
"Hm.. Did you say something?"
