Namjoon asked everyone to attend the court. Your father was not there as expected. Yuri reached the palace with tears. You and Namjoon summoned every official in the nation. "Why are you summoning everyone in this emergency?" Chang Mi spoke.

"The court is about an emergency", the head minister said. "With whose permission, with what evidence, did this order was sent?" he questioned. General Lee stood up. "We have explained everything to the King. Let us do our work", he said.

"You owe an explanation to the people. The family, us", you said. "It's for the crown prince's safety. It is confirmed that Prince Taehyung is raising an army", he said. "How did you know that it was against the King and him?" you asked.

"There is no need to raise an army to win the crown in the island. He should have kept searching for the crown, then everything would have been calm", he said.

"They are building a port for trade purposes", the head minister argued back. Namjoon observed the people silently in the court. He wanted to know who all were with General Lee. His silence confused everyone.

They didn't know if he was opposing or accepting the decision. "Who knows? He has to explain himself. That is why he is going to be arrested", he said. "Princess, don't you want to know about someone else. The person who tried to break inside the palace", Chang Mi smirked.

"You were the one who broke in", you said. They started to accuse Jungkook. "Jungkook was sent by Namjoon. I sent him to collect medicines. I don't understand why he is the culprit in this", you said.

"What if Jungkook is faking his sincerity? What if he agreed to work with Taehyung. We heard that Jungkook is trying to reach the island", she said. "Chang Mi, just because you are good at faking and acting, not everyone would be like that", you said.

The court audibly gasped. "Y/n", Namjoon whispered. He signalled you to be calm. "Your Highness, what if Princess y/n is also in this? She likes her younger brother so much. Princess, you want Taehyung to be the King, don't you?" she asked.

She was convincing the court cleverly. You just gritted your teeth. If you deny, then they would want to arrest Taehyung and if not, you may be arrested as well. "I trust my brother and sister. I have faith that they won't do something against me", Namjoon said.

"You never know, your Highness. The person whom you trust the most would break you", Chang Mi said. Namjoon had an unreadable expression. "If you are not withdrawing the order, I will leave the palace", you said.

"If you leave, then you might be arrested as well", General Lee said. "If something happens to my brother or his acquaintances, you will be removed from your position", you said. "You don't have that right", he said.

"What if it was the King's order? What if the crown prince promised me that?" you asked. "Prince Taehyung won't be harmed", he said. "I want you to assure everyone", you said. "Jungkook can't be taken lightly", he said. "Jungkook is my friend.

I trust him more than anyone. The punishment is the same if any of them is harmed", he said. "I will choose my family over anything. Sorry to tell you, I might even choose a sword to protect my people", Namjoon said.

The court was silent. "Fine", the General gritted his teeth. You were walking to and fro in front of your father's room. Finally, they let you in. "Father, why did you do that? Why did you allow them to impose such an order?" you asked.

"Y/n, the management and decision making is in their hands for now. We can't treat anyone differently. Also, I feel it's my time soon. I want to see my sons at least once", he said. You held his hands and teared up.

"Don't say like that", you held his hands firmly. "Father, I don't want our people to see our Prince being arrested and brought as a prisoner. Permit me to step out of the palace. Tell them that I am going to visit temples again.

This time for Namjoon's health and successful coronation ceremony", you said. Your father agreed. Things never go the way we want them to. The weather was pretty bad. "There could be a sea storm. Princess, it's not advisable to move around now", the court advisor said.

"What do you mean sea storm?" you panicked. You prayed that they should be safe. Yuri came along with you. The rainy season interrupted your journey. General Lee and his men travelled to the south coast.

While you went to the place where monks are residing. While Chang Mi moved towards Jungkook's friend Moon Jin ki's palace. She was ready for the next plot. His father was the biggest supporter of General Lee.

Jin ki's family welcomed her. She eyed his sister. She was so shy and hid behind the maids. "Is she your sister?" she asked Jinki. "Yes, Princess", he replied. "I am Moon Hye mi", she introduced herself. Mina smiled at her. Hye mi took her to the room.

"Please stay comfortably", she said. Jin ki also came to make sure if she is comfortable enough. "Princess, if you need anything you can ask us", he said. She nodded. When Hye mi was about to go, Chang Mi asked,

"Is it true that Jungkook stayed here a few weeks ago?" she asked. "He stayed here for a night. I almost had to chase him away because of our upcoming meeting at that time", he said. Hye Mi's ears perked up at his name.

She blushed uncontrollably. Chang Mi noticed this and smirked. "Fine, you can go. Your sister seems nice. I will spend some time with her. After all, I don't have any friends to talk to", she said. Jin ki left them alone.

"How come a pretty Princess like you has no friend?" she asked, innocently. Well, she was way more innocent than Yuri. "Well, there is a Princess who steals them from me. She steals all the precious people'', she said.

"You mean crown prince's sister", she asked. "Yes' ', Chang Mi chuckled, bitterly. "Leave that, about Jungkook, was he acting suspiciously?" she asked. "No, he just stayed for a night", she replied.

She couldn't control her smile every time his name was said. It's not her fault. Jin ki and Jungkook were best friends. Jin ki would always talk about their friendship with his family. "I won't even mind if we get Hye mi married to him.

I can't think of a perfect groom for her '', he used to say. Hye mi started to love Jungkook even before seeing him. She has seen him in the past but interactions were always limited. Jungkook never ignored her or acted rude to her like other men.

He always maintained a good relationship with them because she is his best friend's sister. If Jungkook never met you, he would have right away married her if someone proposed this idea to him. He didn't have anything to object to.

Now things are different and Jin ki never mentioned that on a serious note to Jungkook, so he never took that seriously. On the other hand, Hye mi was so into him. Right from the day she saw him, she started to think of him as her lover.

Chang Mi slightly grasped the situation. She thought it would be fun to manipulate the situation. After some time, she visited her father. "Sir, have you decided on the groom for your daughter?" she asked.

"I have not yet decided on anyone. Is there someone?" he asked. "How about crown Prince?" she asked. He squinted his eyes in confusion. "It's a perfect chance to make his grandfather believe that you are on his side. He is the biggest threat for now", she said.

"Right now, Taehyung will be released anyway. It would be a perfect time to bring them together and pull them down together", she said. "What if the crown prince doesn't agree? Also, I can't risk my daughter's life", he said. "Don't worry about that.

Your son will be in a higher position than Namjoon if my husband sits on the throne. Then they can't do anything to her", she said. No one including General Lee never wanted to kill any of the royal family members.

They just want the throne by pulling them down. Because even they have the right to be on the throne. Also, looking at their disinterest in staying in the capital they thought that it would be easy. Chang Mi had other plans.

After a bit of brainwashing, she went to her room. She looked at the moon. "I am close to my revenge. Just wait, I will kill you just like how you killed him. Namjoon, start counting your days", she muttered. Her eyes were burning even when the place was filled with a cool breeze.
