NEXT DAY, STOREHOUSE**

'Don't cry' the Emperor's voice, what he said to him since last night, Jimin haven't gotten over it yet. He couldn't even sleep all night, he kept thinking about it. How he wiped his tears, staring into his eyes with those pretty eyes of his, it was so magical.

His body just wouldn't stop reacting as if it's happening presently.

'What did he do to me? And then...why did he do that? I can't even think straight'

Yoonie was staring at Jimin as they cleaned the store together, he would smile every second and he wondered what happened.

"Hey, did something happened?" Yoonie asked and Jimin shook his head.

"No, I'm just..thinking about something" He replied.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Yoonie asked.

"We only eat what the court lady gives us, so why asking?" Jimin chuckled.

"Oh please" Yoonie rolled his eyes.

"But that's the truth" Jimin muttered.

"I know, that's why I'm jealous of lady Borah" Yoonie sighed.

"Why? Because she's closer to the emperor?" Jimin asked.
e's

"Yeah" Yoonie sighed.

"She's really lucky"

"She's not the queen though, if the emperor finally have someone....."

"You really think he want a someone? I've never seen any one with him" Yoonie said and Jimin turned.

"Really? Nobody at all?" He asked curiously.

"Of course, everyone already concluded that there won't be a queen" Yoonie said and Jimin sighed.

"That's not good" He mumbled.

ROYAL ASSEMBLY**

"Your majesty, permit me to bring the three criminals caught last night" One of the ministers said.

"Go on" Emperor Jungkook nodded.

Immediately, three men were dragged in, they were all tied and the guards forced them to kneel down.

"Your majesty, these three sexually assaulted a minor in her own house, they forcefully molested her, the three of them and when her mother tried fighting them, they beat her up"

Emperor Jungkook clenched his fist.

"Where is the girl right now? And her mother?"

"I'm here your majesty" A woman rushed in and fell on her knees, crying bitterly.

"Your majesty please help....my daughter is still unconscious, they don't deserve any mercy!! Your majesty!!" She cried and bowed.

Everyone was quiet.

"Take her away" The emperor spoke up finally and the mother was taken away.

He got down from his seat and everyone bowed.

"You young murderers,what have you done? Who sent you?" He asked the three directly.

"Your majesty!! Please forgive us! It was a mistake....."

"A mistake?!!!!" The emperor shouted and they kept quiet, shaking in fear.

"Namjoon!!"

"Yes your majesty...."

"Sword" he requested and Namjoon immediately unsheathed his sword and handed to him. 

"My ministers" The emperor faced them.

"Your majesty!" They chorused.

"What judgment do they deserve?" He asked.

"According to the law your majesty, anyone who perform such crime like sexual assault should be beheaded your majesty, but they didn't do that alone,they tried killing the child's mother...Attempted murder...they deserve to die your majesty!!!" One of the ministers answered.

"They deserve to die your majesty!!!!!" Everyone chorused.

The emperor smirked and started walking to the three criminals who were already crying and pleading.

"That innocent child must have begged you countless times in tears and pains, but you ignored, you felt like heroes watching her crying" He muttered and touched the sword blade before placing the sword on the first one's neck.

"Tell the deities to send you directly to hell when you meet them or I might get mad" He whispers.

"Your majesty please forgive........" His head was slashed from his throat and his blood shoot out before the remaining body fell on the ground.

The second one pee on his body while shaking.

The emperor smirked at him and threw the sword to the closest soldier.

"These two, tie them up on the city gate, write the crime they committed boldly there so that every passers by would see them and anybody trying to repeat the same should know what their fate would be. Leave them there until they are dead,then feed their remains to wild animals" The Emperor commanded.

"Your judgment is the final your majesty!!!" Everyone bowed.

PALACE LIBRARY**

"Gosh I'm so bored, why are there no interesting books to read here?" Yongbok sighed as he walked around the library alone.

"Oh!!" He gasped when he saw a book.

"It's the one I've always wanted to read!" He jumped excitedly looking at it on the tallest shelf.

He looked around right away and took a seat, he dropped it and climbed on it but it wasn't tall enough.

"Whoa, this shelf is something else..I'm 1.6m tall and I still can't get it? What should I do? Can't give up like this" He shook his head and jumped on the shelf itself but right away he started falling.

"Ahh!!!!" He screamed and closed his eyes, but then he landed on something soft.

"What's that?" He opened his eyes to see a guy carrying him.

"Who are you?" Yongbok asked.

"Hyunjin" Hyunjin muttered and dropped him.

"I'm a guard prince" he bowed.

"Oh, I didn't know guards are handsome" Yongbok muttered and cleared his throat.

Hyunjin chuckled.

"You should be careful prince, I will take the book for you" Hyunjin said.

"My name is not prince" Yongbok snapped.

"I know your name obviously, but you know I can't call your name" Hyunjin said and picked the book.

"Wow, that was so easy for you" Yongbok said.

"Because I'm 1.74m tall not 1.6m" Hyunjin replied.

"Were you here all along?" Yongbok asked when he gave him the book.

"I was checking out the library and I found you, I'm leaving, have a nice day" Hyunjin bowed shortly and went out.

Yongbok touched his chest.

"He's hot, but I'm not going to fall for that, never" He shook his head.

PALACE KITCHEN**

"I want chicken" Yoonie pouted and Miran scoffed.

"You want the prince chicken?" She asked and Yoonie gasped.

"The prince?"

Jimin laughed.

"Don't mind him court lady, he's not even hungry" Jimin said.

"You" Miran looked at Jimin and Jimin raised his brows.

"Is there...a problem?" He asked.

"You should clean his majesty's chamber" Miran said, giving him they cleaning equipments.

"But...why....why me?" Jimin asked nervously.

"Aren't you his slave boy? You should be doing all those things" Miran replied and Jimin bite his lips.

"Don't be anxious, go on" Yoonie said, pushing Jimin out of the kitchen.

"I will be rooting for you, fighting!!"

"I have you Yoon!" Jimin shouted.

"Thanks Jimin, it's my first time hearing you scream..aside from the emperor's bed" He whispered and Jimin's eyes widened.

"What, are you embarrassed?" Yoonie grinned.

"Ya, michyeosseo?" Jimin asked and Yoonie laughed.

"I wish you can see your face right now" He said.

"What happened to my face?"

"You're blushing!" Yoonie screamed and ran off.

"That pabo" Jimin shook his head before smiling.

He sighed and started walking to the chamber hoping he wasn't there at the moment, it's his first time going to his chamber during the day and to do some work not the other one.

"Stop thinking Jimin, he's probably too busy right now to be in his chamber" he assured himself.

Getting to the chamber, it was empty but the guards allowed him in, he didn't waste any time, he immediately started cleaning up, arranging everything neatly.

ROYAL COURT**

Emperor Jungkook was having a meeting with the kings, it's been hours since he left his chamber, from the assembly and now this, even though he wasn't tired, still he was bored. He just wanted to leave, if possible the earth in general.

"Your majesty, it's been so long enough, we've been waiting for too long, hoping you might find the future empress of the Baekje Empire, but we all think it's best we bring the matter up again" the first king said.

"That's right your majesty, even though you're still in your young self, than us..but still you can't continue this way" Second king said.

"Young self?" Emperor Jungkook repeated the word and they all kept quiet.

He laughed sarcastically.

"Right, my human age should be twenty six, you're right, I'm still young" He said and chuckled.

'Young self? This is so embarrassing, how should I tell this fool I know how his generation started? I've lived thousands of years back home, and I've used five hundred years here in human world, still he said I'm young? Should I just kill him?'

That was what the emperor was thinking.

"So your majesty, we've decided to find you the best noble ladies and men we might get so you can choose whomever you please amongst them, so don't worry, give us enough time"

Emperor Jungkook nodded.

"You really care about me so much, so I won't say no." He said and they all smiled.

"We won't disappoint you your majesty"

'What's the essence of having a queen when I can't even have a heir in this place? I can't' The emperor thought and sighed out.

He took his wine glass and gulped it down.

******

EMPEROR'S CHAMBER**

It's been an hour since Jimin started and finally he was done, the chamber look so clean and tidy, he made sure he touched everywhere.

"I'm so tired" He yawned and rest on the wall.

He was so tired and sleepy that he couldn't control it, the moment his eyes found the bed, he shook his head.

"The emperor won't be back now" He said to himself and didn't even bother thinking it twice before he fell on the bed, he slept odd straight away.

The bed felt so comfortable compared to his own.

One hour later, the door suddenly opened and Borah came in. Her eyes changed the moment she saw someone sleeping on the bed, not just anyone but Jimin!!

Her anger upgraded, she was boiling.

"Ya!!!" She slapped his face from his sleep and Jimin sprang up.

"My la......."

"How dare you!!!!" Borah slapped him again and grabbed his hair.

"I'm sorry my lady!! I'm sorry!" Jimin cried.

"Who do you think you are to sleep on that bed!!" Borah screamed and released him roughly.

Jimin fell on the floor, Borah moved closer and grabbed his hair, she started pulling it hardly and painfully while Jimin screams and cries filled the air.

"You're just a slave!! Know your place you harlot!!" Borah said, beating Jimin up until the door suddenly opened.

"Borah!!" Emperor Jungkook called and Borah released him.

Jimin got up quickly, shaking. The emperor's eyes fell on him.

From his scattered hair, his bleeding nose and lips cut.

"Borah......why did you.."

"I found him sleeping on your bed, he should be punished your majesty" Borah said.

Jimin's head remained bowed, sniffing in his tears.

"Borah" Emperor Jungkook called.

"Yes your majesty"

"This is your last warning Borah, don't you ever lay your hands on him again, or you will be the one who's punished" He said and Jimin looked up.

Borah's eyes widened.

"Your majesty.........."

"He's my slave!!! You have no right over him, don't ever touch him again or you will be punished, do you understand?!"

"But........"

"It's a command!!!!" He yelled angrily and Borah's throat became dry.
