"Your highness, allow me-"

"No Jeongguk, I'll be the one going," Namjun said.

"But-"

"You four get going for Silla! And king Hoseong, you come with me!" Namjun ordered.

"As you wish, your majesty!" Everyone bowed.

"It's an honor for me to join you!" Hoseong nodded.

"We'll win!" Namjun nodded.

"We've full faith in you. Apart from that, we all know that grandfather's army is 1/5 of ours." Seongjin said and the others nodded.

"Ok. Best of luck to everyone for the errand!" Namjun said and looked at Inhyeon, "I'll be back soon, my queen! Wait for me!"

"I wish you all the best! Win and come! I'll wait for you!" Inhyeon smiled as he nodded and went with Hoseong to fight against his grandfather.

............................................

"We need a very convincing story so that Choi Seongho doesn't suspect us!" Jeongguk said.

"Right! Jeemin, you go and disguise yourself as my wife!" Yunki smirked

"WHAT?-" Jeemin raised his brow and Seyeon laughed.

"Yes, you'll be a girl to avoid suspicions because they are already searching for us in Silla. The story will be like this...I'm a rich noble merchant of Silla and you're my wife. We both are so impressed by our new king that we want to gift him, slaves, we bought from various kingdoms. You four will be our slaves-"

"SLAVES? I'm worldwide handsome prince Seongjin. Do I look like a slave to you?" Seongjin frowned.

"Do you want to die?" Yunki asked with a straight face.

"No no...Continue continue...What were you saying?" Seongjin said with a smile.

"We will present you four as the best, intelligent and qualified people in the entire kingdom and I'm sure that he'll gift you four to Cheena's emperor but....as far as I know him, he'll ask you all to prove your qualities!" Yunki said.

"I chose to be a palace guard and I'm a warrior so I can prove my qualities easily!" Jeongguk said and Yunki nodded.

"Lady Shin, a court lady must be well mannered and know how to do different tasks!" Yunki paused and scanned Seyeon from top to bottom, "Looking at you, it doesn't look like you'll be able to prove that!"

Seyeon stood there with a poker face.

"But I have a solution!" Yunki came close to Seyeon.

"Huh?" Seyeon looked at him.

"What are you doing?" Jeongguk came in between them.

"Move away, kid!" Yunki shoved him away

"Look at right!" Yunki ordered Seyeon.

Seyeon did.

"Hmmm...."

"Look up!"

Seyeon obeyed.

"Perfect! Ok....and....." Yunki grabbed her arm and examined her hanbok.

"Yunki hyungnim-"

"Jeongguk, my dear, I'm not eating your girl alive!" Yunki gave him a look.

"Stand here, brother!" Jeemin pulled Jeongguk towards him and patted his back.

"Tsk tsk....this won't do! You need to hide your inabilities to prove yourself as a court lady with your beauty. But judging by the stupid and dull clothes you wear, we will need time!"

"HUH? Stupid and dull..what?-" Seyeon frowned and Jeemin laughed.

" We'll start our journey in the evening...till then...MAIDS!!!"

"Yes, your highness?" The maids came and bowed.

"Turn lady Shin into a beautiful woman so that no one can resist her beauty!" Yunki ordered.

"Yes, your highness!"

"I-" Seyeon was about to say something but the maids took her with them.

"Alright! Now that no woman is here. Let's talk about the most important part. Prince Taeheong, the personal servants of the kings, are generally eunuchs" Yunki said and everyone gasped.

"So umm...what are you going to do about it?" Yunki asked gesturing to Taeheong's crotch

"ANIYO!" Taeheong grabbed his crotch. "I'M NOT GOING TO CUT IT......"

"I might be able to help you. Come with me!" Jeemin said.

"NO NO. I'M NOT CASTRATING MYSELF-"

"Mate, trust me." Jeemin puled Taeheong away with him.

"And you...." Yunki turned towards Seongjin. "Lessen your handsomeness a bit and we'll be good to go!" He said and left.

"Aish! Who does he think he is?" Seongjin frowned.

"The king! The boss!" Jeongguk shrugged.

"Anyways, I'll go and meet Ahyoon now. See you later, little brother!" Seongjin patted Jeongguk's back and left.

..................

"Ah got it! This will be perfect!" Jeemin pulled out a skin-cloured cloth from the pile of clothes.

"What are we doing here in the royal tailor's room?" Taeheong asked.

"So prince Kim Taeheong, also known as the Korean Picasso in our time........." Jeemin said walking around Taeheong.

"What 'so'? What did you just say? I couldn't get you!"

"Ahh never mind. You see, there's this thing called body painting-"

"There is? I've not heard of it ever! Is it something like what prince Jeongguk has on his body?"

"Oh, God! What prince Jeongguk has are called tattoos-"

"Tat..what?"

"Arrgghhhh.....just listen to me! Stop questioning! What body painting does is, it gives the illusion that a person is in clothes when originally the person is naked. We'll do the opposite, you'll be clothed but if a person sees you, he'll get the illusion that you're not. So shade this piece of cloth with your colors in such a way that if it is worn by someone, it'll give the illusion that they have been castrated."

"I don't know what you are trying to do here but I'm getting the idea of what you want me to do! I'll do it..." Taeheong took the piece of cloth from Jeemin's hand and Jeemin grinned.

..............................

"Why are you all standing outside? Shouldn't you all help lady Seyeon get ready?" Jeongguk asked the maids who were standing in front of Seyeon's room.

"Your highness, lady Seyeon said that we don't have proper makeup items and asked all of us to wait outside." One maid explained.

"She asked for some ingredients and said that she'll get ready by herself!" Another one said.

"Ok. I'll go in!"

"Your highness, she asked not to allow anyone in!"

"What? Not even me?"

"Especially not you!" The maid bowed.

Jeongguk frowned.

"Ok! Fine! I'll wait here with you all!"

Inside the room,

"Perfect! All the ingredients are here! Thank you so much, grandma. Your homemade makeup DIYs will work today!" Seyeon grinned

"Dull and stupid huh? I will show you what beauty is, Min Yunki. Wait and watch!" Seyeon smirked at her reflection in the mirror.

................................

"I'll miss you!" Ahyoon said back hugging Seongjin.

Seongjin turned around and held her, "As the prince of this kingdom, when duty calls, I must go!"

"Yes, I know." Ahyoon sighed. "Let me dress you today!" Ahyoon said pulling the belt of his hanbok and it opened, revealing his bare body. Seongjin smirked and pulled her towards him by her arm.

"I'll miss you too, my princess!" He said staring at her pretty face. She smiled looking deep into his eyes. Then he pulled out the hairpin from her bun and her hair opened.

"I'll keep this with me while I am away! This will remind me of you always." He said smirking at her "Because you tried to attack me with this when we first met!"

"If that's the case, then I'll keep this!" Ahyoon pulled out Seongjin's flute from his waistband. "Because you stole my heart with this when we first met!" Ahyoon smiled.

Seongjin grabbed her waist and pulled her close.

"I don't know when we'll meet again but don't forget to send me letters. My pigeons can find me anywhere I am and can deliver your letters!" Seongjin whispered.

"I will!" Ahyoon said keeping a hand on his bare chest.

Seongjin cupped her cheeks and kissed her desperately.

Ahyoon broke the kiss, "You'll get late!"

Ahyoon got away from him and grabbed the hanbok that Seongjin was going to wear but Seongjin came and back and hugged her. Putting his chin on her shoulder he said, "We've enough time, dear!" 

Ahyoon felt Seongjin's warm breath on her neck. Seongjin started to kiss her neck until he found her sweet spot. Ahyoon moaned in pleasure.

.......................................

"Yunki hyungnim, we are ready!"

Yunki turned around and gasped at Jeemin.

"Honestly, if you were born as a woman, I would've married you and made you my queen!"

"I-whAt?" Jeemin was flustered.

"Ahem! And Taeheong, what magic did Jeemin do to you?"

Taeheong opened his pants.

"AHHHH...WAIT I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO SHOW ME!" Yunki closed his eyes.

"Don't worry hyungnim, he is wearing pants!" Jeemin said and Yunki opened his eyes.

"Wait what?" Yunki's eyes widened. He bent down to take a closer look.

............................

"Seyeon-ah~~~ are you done yet? Even I am done-"

The door slid open and Seyeon came out.

"How do I look?" She asked.

Jeongguk was just staring at her with his big eyes, mouth wide open.

"Jeongguk?....JEONGGUK!!!!"

"You look like the queen of my heart! Ahhhh-" Jeongguk grabbed his chest and fell.

"Wh-what happened?!" Seyeon knelt to hold him.

"My heart hurts!"

"Aishhh...Jeon Jeongguk get up! That's cheesy!" Seyeon stood up but Jeongguk pulled her down again.

"Jeongguk the maids are watching...."

"Get lost everyone!"

The maids bowed and left.

"You're mine!"

"No! Leave me-"

Jeongguk kissed her, getting the taste of berries from her lips!

"Jeongguk-"

"When I said you're mine that means you are mine!" He whispered in his deep voice. "Understood?!"

"Yes, your highness!" Seyeon said caressing his cheek.

"Good!" He showed his bunny smile.

"Your duality is dangerous!" Seyeon said with a poker face.

...........................

"Ahem! How do I look?" Seongjin asked holding a book.

"Why on earth are you with that book?!" Yunki asked.

"I'm supposed to be the king's advisor! So I'm going through political rules once again!" Seongjin explained.

"Lady Seyeon and prince Jeongguk are entering!" The servant announced.

Jeongguk came and bowed.

"Wow Jeongguk, you are looking exactly like a guard!" Seongjin smiled, admiring his little brother.

"Where is lady Shin though?" Yunki asked.

Seyeon came out from behind Jeongguk and everyone gasped.

"Wow...amazing! I'm impressed by everyone here!" Yunki nodded with satisfaction.

"Wow Seyeon, y-you're looking so pretty!" Jeemin gawked.

"Same to you Jeemin!" Seyeon giggled.

"Shut up!" Jeemin rolled his eyes.

"Ok! Now the final problem is the scar on my face. I have to hide it or else they'll understand who I am!" Yunki sighed.

"I can heal-"

"No healing! This scar is my identity!"

"I can hide it with the foundation I just made!"

"For- what?" Yunki asked raising a brow

"Ahh...just take this and apply it on your scar. It will be covered!" Seyeon gave him the foundation.

"Give me!" Jeemin took it and helped Yunki to apply it!"

"Woah. It's gone!" Seongjin admired.

"I think Seyeon and Jeemin know magic!" Taeheong gawked.

"Alright! We all are good to go now! Thank you, lady Shin!" Yunki smiled.

"Wait you still have a problem. We all have chosen our secret names. You and Jeemin need secret names too!" Jeongguk said

"Oh right! I'll call myself Yejun and my wife is Jiwoon!" Yunki said.

"Ok!" Jeemin said.

"Make your voice more feminine and everyone be careful not to call each other by your real names!" Yunki said.

"Psst Jeemin, if you ever find a way out of here and take this man with you, make sure to get him a job as a director or something like that!" Seyeon giggled and Jeemin joined her.

"Are we clear?" Yunki asked.

"Yes, your highness!" Everyone bowed in unison.

"Shall we go now, my love?" Jeemin asked in a feminine voice and linked his arm with Yunki and everyone laughed.
