" She's a really nice girl you know..."

" Don't even think about flirting with her " Taehyung warned looking at the landscape they were passing by.

" I won't... Hyung ! What do you take me as ? I really am sorry for ruining your date. Now please forgive me. "

" Okay I will.  Just remember to help me out whenever I need  . Having dates with her is really tough. She has to serve the queen and the Princesses all day. So there is hardly any time left for her to spend with me " he said and sighed.

" I see... Being a servant is not easy. Is that why you are treating all the servants properly and giving them holidays. "

" Yeah... I saw how much hard work it goes to serve their owners. They should have a personal life too. We forget that they might have their lovers , spouses, parents , children or friends waiting for them . "

" Whoa...where did our cold Lord Taehyung go ? You have completely changed.  It's good though. I wanted too that you break the ice block you lived  in and come out of it. " Jungkook exclaimed.

" Was I so cold ?" Taehyung asked and smirked in disbelief.

" Don't even get me started on that. After I turned 5 , I found you sitting in your study all day or practising sword . You avoided me to make yourself more capable for being the king. You ignored all the love you received from me . "

" Hey .....I did that for our parents' sake . They wanted me to be a good and successful king. I wanted to be capable enough. It is true that I pushed you away but I did that to make myself more concentrated. If I had played with you , I wouldn't have been such a respected future king here. "

" Do you remember how you used to scoff at the young ladies who used to come to confess or watch you from afar ? They were so scared of you that they used to beg me for help. "

" Ah....I remember. It was sometimes really irritating. They had ulterior motives . "

" I wonder how everything would be when people will come to know about you two. I am concerned about that. "

" I know that their reaction won't be good  and most probably no one would support my choice. But I am sure I will be able to make everything right. We are heaveners. We are not mere humans who would discriminate . "

" I hope so.... " mumbled Jungkook.

The chariot suddenly stopped.

" What happened ?" Jungkook asked .

" My lords, the road is blocked . The heaveners are all standing infront of us. "

" What ? Why ? " Taehyung asked.

" Forgive me my lord but they somehow came to know about your affair with Reha. "

" What ? " They both cried.

The guards somehow managed to move the mob from the road. When they reached the palace , they heard whispers .

" Really ? "

" Oh my Namjesus !"

" Affair ? Our lord Taehyung ? Has he grown wings ?"

The palace was thus , in a chaos too.

Taehyung's heart was beating read fast. What was the condition of Reha if he's being gossiped about so much ? They wouldn't dare to touch him. He's the future emperor. But Reha ? She's a mere servant.

Jungkook held his hand tightly and said not to worry through his eyes.

" My lords , the emperor and empress called you two for dinner . Please change and wash your hands properly before coming. "

It has been almost 10 years since they haven't ate together as a family.

His face had turned pale. Everything was happening so fast. How did everyone know about them ? He had tried his level best to keep everything a secret. He hasn't told or shared anything about this to anyone rather than Jungkook.

He would protect Reha at any cost. Nothing could stop them from being together.

A/n : The drama has just begun folks ! Get ready to cry . Now I really feel bad for the leads. But I can't help them. My heart and brain doesn't get along. It's my brain who gave me the idea so my heart can't control anything. Do vote , comment and share. I love reading your views and guesses. Farewell till the next chapter ! Stay healthy and happy wherever you are.

Our king ! Look at his Adorable face. He's just like a newborn baby. Oh my....I wanna squish his  cheeks! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
