《The Princess' Messenger》Part 4

"Why did she come now? She was quietly living in the town", Min-hyuk was walking across the room. "Don't worry, I will take care of her. I know her inside out", Chang Mi said. "Still, she has power. How could we grab the throne? It looks impossible to me now", he said.
"We have a lot of people by our side. Namjoon won't come here very soon while Taehyung might never come back. What can an unmarried Princess do?" she chuckled. "What if Namjoon comes back?" he asked.
"He won't, my Prince. As long as we keep confusing him. He won't", she calmed down her husband. "Chang Mi, you are my strength. Without you, I can't even imagine myself being ambitious", he said.
"Of course, you are kind and genuine. Unlike the Princes, you know how to rule the people. This stupid system gives authority just because they are blood-related", she scoffed.
She badly wanted to put her husband on the throne so that she could rule the country indirectly. Also, the generals would be with him. She didn't know that he would back off so easily. "Let me visit her", she got ready to meet you.
Once the greetings were done, she came in, and you offered her to sit. Jungkook didn't leave your side. Involuntarily, he became your bodyguard. As he promised he stayed by your side all the time.
"I thought of visiting you as you are going to stay here for a long time. Please, let me know if you are feeling any discomfort", she said. "Why am I being treated like a guest? I believe that I have all rights in this palace", you said.
"I didn't mean like that", she was calm. "Don't worry, Chang Mi. I won't give you much trouble. Once my brother returns, I will move in with him in the main palace", you smiled. You were trying to bring out her facial expression.
You were indirectly telling her to leave the palace. "That's great, your Highness", she smiled. "Till you adjust here, I will take care of you", she politely said. "By the way, I heard that you are a friend of our Crown prince. How is our crown prince?" she asked.

A sly smile appeared and disappeared in a second. "He is good, Princess", he said. He briefly made eye contact with you. "Don't worry too much about every affair in the country. Make sure that your family is guarding this castle well.
"Also, I heard that guards are being ridiculous with those who come to work or sell goods inside the gates. There are multiple families and houses inside the castle. Allow them to earn some money", you said.
"It's all for our safety. Sometimes, enemies come through the doors, if it happens then it's not good. Still, I will ask them to be gentle", she said. You nodded.
"Tell me if you have any other concerns", she said. "As for nothing. I will take care of myself, if anything", you smiled. She just smiled back. "Then I will take my leave, please take some rest", she stood up.
"No matter how high you are, don't forget your family. After all, you are here because of them", you said. She stopped in her tracks. "I will keep that in my mind", she said and when she was about to leave, Jimin and Yuri came to the house.
Yuri greeted Chang Mi. Jimin expected her to say something. But she bowed and went away. Jimin sighed. "I don't know why she is like this", he shook his head. "Where were you both?" you asked them.
"I took Princess Yuri on a palace tour. It was fun, ''Jimin said. "Good for both of you, have fun. I am tired", you stood up. Yuri stayed with you on the top floor while Jungkook and Jimin had their room on the ground floor.
"Take rest everyone. I feel like something big is going to happen", you stretched a bit. Yuri was just giggling. Every small thing makes her happy. She had some fun with Jimin. Deep down she wondered how nice it would be if it was Taehyung.
"Meet me in the evening, both of you", you sent Jimin and Jungkook. You had your meal and involuntarily a sleeping goddess took over your body. You woke up in the evening and stood on the balcony.
You saw merchants, soldiers and the general public walking around inside and out the gates. You saw Jungkook talking to the guards. You smiled involuntarily.

"I should visit some officials' houses tomorrow", you tapped your fingers on the railings. You went to the garden. Yuri was already in the garden enjoying the breeze. "Yuri, you need to meet the officials with me tomorrow", you said.
"Me?! Why Princess?" she asked you. "Because you will be in one of the highest positions in the future and you need to get to know them", you said. "Even then, I don't know if I am suitable for these types of meetings. The royals are quite scary. I feel like they would eat me up with words", she said.
You rolled your eyes. "At least accompany me and observe. Just introduce yourself", you said. "I thought of taking Yuri to the market tomorrow", Jimin said, as usual barging in.
"You know what? If she keeps hanging around with you, what will people talk about her? What will happen when my brother comes back? I don't want any unwanted rumours", you said.
"What if he doesn't care?" Jimin mumbled. "What?" you squint your eyes. "Jungkook is not here yet. I asked him to come, still, he is not here", he said. "Yuri, you can hang out with other Princesses, it looks like they are going to temples. Join them", you said.
Jungkook came a bit late. "Sorry, Princess. The guards were asking about staying and the preparations to be done", he said. "That's okay", all three of you sat comfortably on the bench. "First of all Jimin, what do you know about Taehyung? spill everything", you said.
"What? What do you mean?" he said. "About earlier", you said. "Ah! I mean he might not care about those rumours", he said. "Is he seeing someone there? Is that why he doesn't return?" you asked him.
"I don't think so. Besides, he won't be having time to hang out with someone while they are after enemies", he fake laughed a bit. "You know that Yuri means a lot to me. I can't find another perfect woman for my brother.
I know that you both are in touch. Send him the message", you said. You didn't want Yuri to get hurt. Also, no one could love your brother selflessly. You sent Jimin.
You and Jungkook were left. He was quietly witnessing everything. "From tomorrow, we will be visiting the officials' houses inside the castle. Please ask the guards to send a note to them, privately.
And ask them not to allow any other higher officials to join us while visiting. I want this meeting to be private", you said to him. "Sure, Princess. By the way, may I know why? Are we really in danger?" he asked.
"Just to confuse the woman who came this morning. Let's stir up things. Keep a close watch on them. Once this meeting is over. They will visit their close ones as well", you said. "Do you think that she has the power now?" he questioned.
You nodded. "Why? Don't you think so? The way she behaves and talks", you said. "I think you are just imagining and complicating things Princess", he said. "Why would I?" you said. "Because she is pretty", Jungkook chuckled.
"Are you kidding now? You are getting a bit brave, I see", you said. Still, smiling. It was okay, as long as it's not in an offensive tone. "Do you think that she is pretty?" you asked him. "Well, she is", he answered.
"You think that I am less pretty than her. That's why I am jealous", you said, pressing your lips. "Uhm, Princess. I need to relay the message to the guards and I have some work as well", he attempted to leave.
"Answer my question!" "Princess, honestly speaking, I didn't want you to stress so much over the affair. I thought of lighting up your mood but it backfired", he scratched his neck. You nodded your head in understanding.
"Still, answer my question", you crossed your arms. "You are pretty", he shyly said. "More than her?!" you didn't leave him easily. "More than her", he mumbled. His face flushed in shyness. He immediately left the place but not your heart.
