The king anxiously waited for his second in command to give him any news or update of RM's assignment. But the king has been in study for two hours and yet nobody has inform him anything.

He was loosing his patients.

After six drinks and three shots, both RM and Jimin comes in his office. The look on his face told the king it was not good news.

"Sir, the ships are actually are giving the people half of the price but..." RM tells the king.

King Jungkook stared at RM for him to finish but he stopped.

"But what?" He ask.

"But the Lamia's are suffering because of it." Jimin finishes for him.

It take a lot to make King Jungkook speechless.

His mouth widen but nothing came out of his mouth.

The Lamia? How did they get involve with this? He wonders.

"Is there any more?"King Jungkook ask.

"Ummm, well apparently today the ships came in empty handed to our land." RM tell him.

"What do you mean empty hand?" The King ask RM.

"Well not entirely.. they actually had a ship that brought in some fruit but that was about it." RM explained.

"Why is that?" The King demanded.

"Ummm.... because the Lamia brought most of it. Apparently their people were suffering so the Queen ordered their advisor to buy everything."

"The Queen?" The king question.

He only knew a few things about the Queen. She ruled around the same time he did, she was kind hearted and she was described indefinite to the meaning Lamia, beautiful and sexy.

Because of the treaty of our ancestors, as long as we stayed in peace, we are not allowed to meet them.

The King stood from his seat. "Did the Queen know the ships were coming to us after and left us scraps?"

"Umm, I do not believe so." RM answer.

King Jungkook paced back and forth. "And what about the people. Are they okay?"

"Yes, because of how much they were able to afford the last couple of months, they are content."

The king still couldn't register why the price was raising for them and lowering for us.

"Have you spoke to people who deliver to us?" I ask RM.

"No sir, I have not."

"Then do it. We must understand what is going on before the Lamia suspect us going against them." He tell RM.

RM bows to the king and leaves.

The king start to pace back and forth worriedly. He thought that it was small miscommunication with the prices but if it involves the Lamia, he was definitely worried.

"Kooks.. don't worry. We will figure this out." Jimin tried to calm his king.

The king froze as he turns to his second in command. "Do you really believe that? I mean we learn from our fathers who learn from their fathers. But we lived in peace never once mention the Lamia but to tell our history. They didn't prepare us for anything regarding the Lamia." He rants on.

Jimin clearly can see his king stressing over this. Jimin has always know his friend to be calm and relentless but this has been a different side of him.

"Buddy what do think will happen? It's not like Lamia will start war?" Jimin stops and looks at his friend with curiosity. "Do you think the Queen is capable of that?"

King Jungkook turns around and tilt his head. "How the hell am I suppose to know? I don't know anything about that women?"

It's true. Since the people are divided they aren't much knowledge of one another. The king was worried that he didn't know what she capable of.

"So what do you think we should do?" Jimin ask.

The king sat on the edge of his desk, slouched as he was defeated.

"I have no fucking clue."

As the King Jungkook and Jimin talked in the office, RM went to make a few phone calls. RM usually stays calm and the king trust him but just like everyone, if it involves the Lamia, this is way over his head.

When RM was finishing up a phone call regarding the shipments of food, a guard came in RM sight with a man handcuff.

"What is going on?" RM ask the main guard.

"This man is a Lamia." The guard states.

RM eyes widen at what he was hearing. Never in the five and half years with the King, they had to punish for trespassing.

Is it coincidence a Lamia is trespassing and the Queen buying all the supplies in one day? It can't be.

"Well take him to the basement and I'll inform the king." RM instructed the guards.

V, the Jimin's royal guard walks in. He looks confused as RM.

"Sir, if I may say something?" V ask.

"V, you know you don't have to ask for permission to speak." RM tells him.

It's true, they were all actually good friends but their main role is protect and guide the King to be his best.

V gave RM a grateful smile. "The name Lamia is coming up often, don't you think?"

RM signs out in exhaustion, "It is, and I don't think we know what to do."

"Are we going to execute the trespassers?" V ask.

"Well, that's the law."

V nods his head. "Would it be best to question him first?"

RM head snap up at V. "That's a great idea."

"Indeed it is." King Jungkook voice carried throughout the hall.

Both V and RM stood up straight and bow to the king.

"I'm too tired with all the formality from you two, please quit bowing." King Jungkook said to the two.

The king looks around the room. "Where is the trespasser?" He ask when he didn't see any criminal.

"We took him the basement." V tells the King.

The king smirk, "It looks like I'll have a little fun today." The king starts to walk as everyone follows.

As they made it to the cold basements, you can hear a few groans and begging. There were only four people in the basement for punishment,including the trespasser.

Each city has their own criminal holding, the only one in the palace cell are the big punishment. These were the law broken from the highest possible way.

One man is Paying for him act of trying to steal from the palace. The king thought since he loves the palace so much to keep him down here till death.

The king footsteps echos throughout the hollow halls and the men tried begging for mercy but the king wasn't here for them.

He was here the trespasser.

When He arrive to the last taken cell, the king saw an man in his early thirties with his clothes mess up and hair shrivel around.

"Is it true your a Lamia?" The king ask.

The man didn't look up but did a subtle nod.

"Are you a spy from the Queen?" The king again ask.

The man shook his head.

The king was agitated that the man wasn't  saying anything. The man didn't even look up to the king.

He is a prisoner who broke the law and still to disrespect me? The king thought.

He snaps his finger and Bam Bam shows up with a small suitcase.

Then RM and V went to the cell and opens it up. The man head finally looks up in horror.

That's what the king wanted to see.

Fear.

Both V and RM grab the man to The chair Jimin brought in and sat him down and tied him up.

"What... wait... what are you ... doing?" The man stutters our.

"I had to get your attention. You left me no choice."  The king tells the man.

"Please. What are you. What are you going to to do?" The man was obviously scared.

King Jungkook found pleasure in the fact the man was scared. He grab a plier in the suitcase that Bam Bam was holding.

As King Jungkook admire the shiny plier, the man eyes widen at the object.

"What's that for?" The man was able to form a full sentence without stuttering.

King Jungkook didn't answer him but walk up to man and crouch down when he was only an inch away. The man heartbeat was accelerating and the King knew the man felt like like death was in his grasp.

But the king needed information, so he knew he wasn't going to kill him just yet.

"Why did you come to the Sphinx side?" King Jungkook ask.

"I... I... needed Umm more food." He stutters our in bare whisper.

"Didn't your Queen just buy mostly everything from the ships?" He ask.

"Yess but but but it it wasn't en enough."

"Is the Queen up to something against me?" King Jungkook eyes suddenly held no humor in them. He needed to know if the Queen was planning something.

"What?" The man question.

King Jungkook grab the man jaw and squeeze it harshly. "Is the Queen planning something against me? Are you a spy?" The king ask again.

The man was too scared to talk so he shook his head.

"No what?" The king shouts out.

"No to both sir." The man said as he clench his eyes.

The king stared at the man for a moment and let go his jaw. He stood up straight and threw the pliers back to Bam Bam.

"What do you want to do?" Jimin ask.

King Jungkook straighten his suit a little and turns to walk out the basement. He could hear the man begging to be free but they locked him up without untying him.

The king didn't care.

When he went to his study he waited for the his friends to get in the room to discuss his next step. He didn't know if would approve his next move but he needed to see if it was a crazy thought or a smart idea.

When RM and Jimin arrived they saw their leader sitting silent and calm. Which was equally scary then him showing anger.

"RM, did you hear anything about the shipments?"

RM shook his head. "No, they said they didn't understand why the people who was bringing the items, are doing this. It's someone else's doing."

"The Queen?" Jimin ask.

King Jungkook eyes falls on RM but RM didn't know the answer to the question. It's a obvious one but it's also an assumption. Sometimes assumptions are dangerous.

"I have a suggestion. It's crazy though." King Jungkook said.

This time RM and Jimin eyes widen. The king has done many crazy and ruthless things and it was never seem like that to him. It was natural. So when the king things of something he think it's crazy then, it must be.

"I would like to reach out to the Queen."

"What?!?!" Both RM and Jimin ask out.

"Kooks, you can't be serious?" Jimin said.

"Sir, I don't think it's a good idea." RM said.

"Why is that?" He question his advisor.

RM opens his mouth and shut it.

"Is it because it's never been done since forever..." The king question.

He knew that was a deep concern for RM. We aren't good with anything new or not planned. That wasn't our way.

But the King also knew that if he didn't settle this between Queen, he wouldn't be able to rest till he understand what is going on.

"Sir, I am only here to advise you. But if you think this is bests I'll still continue to be by your side." RM tells his king.

Jimin eyes widen at RM's words. "Are you serious right now? No! Tell him he is being a complete idiot!" RM just looked at RM, Jimin turns to his king. "You are being an idiot."

The king smirks. "I know. And guess who is delivering the message for me?"

The King watches Jimin face turn from anger to confuse. It took a couple of second but as if a light bulb lit up in his head.

"Please.. I am begging you. Not me." He begs his king.

The king stands up and walks to his second in command with pride. He fixes his collar and wipe imaginary dust of his shoulders. "You leave tomorrow morning."

And then walks away.
