《The Princess' Messenger》Part 16

Jungkook turned red. He was stuttering to form words. "What happened to Jeon Jungkook, a minute ago?" you chuckled. "How can you be so steady?" he asked. "Because it's me", you said, chuckling. "It's time for dinner. Some important decisions might be taken.
Also, keep a watch on everyone", you said. He nodded. Your grandfather was not invited. It seemed like they purposely left him. The dinner started. Everything was fine. You noticed that Chang Mi was unusually quiet. "Your Highness, as a part of strengthening our relationship we would like to bring a marriage proposal", Jin ki's father said.
The general squinted his eyes. He didn't know about Chang Mi's idea. Jin ki was also surprised. He looked at you. Well, he was looking at you for a long time. Jungkook noticed that. "It's not what I am thinking, right?" he thought to himself.
"Marriage proposal?!" Namjoon looked at you. You had no idea either. "I would like to introduce my daughter to you. I know that you are soon to be King, so it would be a pleasure if you chose the girl from our household", her father said.
Hye Mi was shocked to death. Chang Mi caught her hand, signalling to be quiet. The generals didn't see this coming. Hye Mi's father had different plans. If he gave her daughter to the current crown prince, he could just switch his support. Who knows she can become the Queen if she is his first wife.
"I will discuss with my grandfather and let you know, Mr Min", he politely dodged the question. You slightly took a quick deep breath. "Your grandfather?! He would never accept our family. He thinks that we are his enemy", he said.
"If you are ignoring him and gathering people, obviously he would think like that", you said. "That's, I want to give our crown Prince a warm welcome and a peaceful stay", he said. "Not just this time", you smiled at him. You could see the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"Y/n", Namjoon whispered. "Who gave you this idea? My brother is marrying your daughter?" you questioned. "Princess, I genuinely want to have a good relationship and strengthen our kingdom", he said. "If we refuse, are you threatening that you would not cooperate with us?" you asked.
"It's not like that", he searched for the right words. "Fine. I have no objections. I would like to have this sweet girl as my sister in law. We will let you know after discussing with our grandfather", you smiled. You stood up. "Please, have a great dinner. I will leave first '', you excused.
Chang Mi smirked a bit. Hye Mi bit her lips hard to prevent her from crying. Namjoon didn't come to any conclusions as he had different plans in his mind. Generals looked at each other. Jungkook left with Namjoon. "We will stay for two more days ', Namjoon said to Jungkook.

"Okay, your Highness", he bowed. You met Jungkook in your room. "Did you find anything odd?" you asked him. "Nothing, Princess. Uhm, except for the marriage proposal", he said. "I wonder who gave him this bold idea. It must be her'', you said.
"Our grandfather would never accept the proposal from this family. That's why Namjoon cleverly mentioned him", you said. "Then, why did you accept?" he asked. "I just played along as they don't reject the girl blindly if they approach for a wedding", you said.
"Then, will they reject the groom directly?" he asked. "They will. I have done that a lot of times ', you chuckled. "Unfair", he pouted. "Why? Are you thinking that I would reject you as well?" you asked him. "I have nothing to be proud of. With what achievement can I ask for your hands in marriage?" he chuckled.
"That is not important. You are already the commander in chief", you said. He shook his head. "Something more than that. I am not even a Prince", he sighed. "Stop pouting and sighing", you said. "Sleep well, but also try to be cautious. Don't let them kidnap you like last time", you said.
He scratched his neck. "You too sleep well, Princess", he said. You smiled. "Wait", you stopped him. You raised your heels and placed a kiss on his cheek. He blushed hard. "What am I even doing? If the elders know they would surely make a fuss. Who cares?!" you chuckled to yourself.
The next morning was a normal one but you had an uneasy feeling. You tried to wipe it out but you couldn't. Hye Mi met Namjoon. He welcomed and smiled at her. "Your Highness, I want to talk to you about something", she nervously said. "Go ahead", he said. "I- Please, don't accept this marriage", she stuttered.
He raised his eyebrows. "Why?" he questioned. "I like someone. I wish to marry him", she said. "I see. Who is that lucky guy?" Namjoon asked. "Your friend", she blushed a little. "Jungkook?!" he questioned. She nodded. He laughed slightly. "Don't worry. I will make sure to reject your father's offer", he assured.
"Thank you, your Highness", she thanked him. "Also, if you can, please help me. Suggest him to my brother and father. They will surely listen to you", she said. "What about Jungkook?" he asked. "I don't know. Hope he will accept me", she said.
"Confess to him. Don't waste your time. He is a good kid", he said. Your brother didn't know about your relationship with him. She left the room and beamed with happiness. To her surprise, Jungkook was already walking towards Namjoon's room.
"Oh! Princess! Uhm, are you coming from Prince's room? Looks like you both are getting along already", he chuckled. Her smile flattered a bit. "Uhm, I asked him not to marry me", she said. "What? Why? Why would you reject the crown Prince?" he was shocked. "Because- because I like you", she blurted out.

Jungkook stood there with so much shock. "Princess, if that is what Chang Mi said, please don't take it seriously", he said. "She gave you the hint because I asked her to", she whispered. "Uhm, Princess that's-", he scratched his neck not knowing what to say. The timing was really bad.
Namjoon came out of his room to the hallway. You also wanted to meet Namjoon so you also came to meet him. You slowed down your steps as you saw them discussing something serious. "You should think about it, Jungkook,'' Namjoon said, patting his shoulder.
Hye Mi bowed at you and went. You looked at her and approached them. "What should he think about?" you asked. "That's nothing much-" "Just trying to marry off my best friend", Namjoon chuckled. "With who?" you asked.
"Hye Mi. She likes Jungkook, it seems. She asked for my help", he said. You threw a glance at Jungkook. "Nice. Help him well", you said, sarcastically. "Looks like Jungkook also agreed on that", you said. "He said that he would think about it", Namjoon said.
"I see. Don't come back if you are not married to her", you said. Jungkook's eyes were pleading. If he straight away refused Namjoon would ask the reason and he can't tell him directly that he is in love with his sister. "Advance happy married life", you gave a pressed smile.
"And you. When are you even getting married? The small kingdoms are sending gifts in the hope of making their princess as a Queen", you said. "Y/n, actually about that I already have someone in my mind. I will let you know soon. It would be nice if you let me know about your future as well", he said.
"I had someone in mind but looks like that person is desperate to marry someone else", you scoffed. "Anyway, I have a piece of news. I have to go back to take care of some flood relief activities. Looks like people are affected badly", you said.
"I will join you soon", Namjoon said. You shook your head. "I will take it. You return safely to grandfather. He keeps sending men as he was not invited here and also keeps sending warnings", you said. "I see. Then let me ask them to wrap up everything tomorrow early morning", Namjoon said.
"Yeah! Uhm, be careful. Okay", you said. Namjoon gave an assuring smile but still, your heart was not calm. "When are you leaving, Princess?" Jungkook asked. "Now. You have a happy love life. Don't ever leave my brother no matter what happens. It's my order", you said. Jungkook nodded.
He wanted to stop you and explain. He excused himself from Namjoon and followed you to your room. "What are you doing here?" you scoffed. "Princess, please listen. How could I tell your brother that I like you, out of the blue?" he came close and cupped your cheeks. "You have a mouth", you said.
"I want to ask things formally. So, please wait a bit", he pouted. You chuckled. "There is something more important than this. I have a bad feeling leaving Namjoon with Chang Mi in this palace", you said. "Don't worry. I will stay by his side", he took you in his embrace.
"I don't trust anyone here except you. Please bring him safely", you said. He hummed in response. "I will miss you, y/n", he said. You took a glance at his face. "Y/n?!" you raised your eyebrows. "I- I didn't-" You pecked his lips. "You can call me like that", you giggled a bit. He nodded in shyness. You left the palace.
The generals also left because the flood-hit the country pretty badly. They didn't want people to talk about how royals are enjoying themselves while they are suffering. Chang Mi's awaited night came. Jungkook successfully stuck with Namjoon the whole day. Chang Mi wanted to meet Namjoon in her room.
"I will stay with you, your Highness", he said. Chang Mi rolled her eyes. "I won't swallow your friend", she said. "Jungkook, it's not necessary. You can go. We have certain things that others don't know", Namjoon said. "But, Princess said not to leave you at any cost", he said.
"It's my order, Jungkook", he said. He couldn't do anything. He took a quick check in the room and he looked out of the balcony for suspicious activity and left the room. No one was allowed on the floor. Jungkook's heart was not at peace.
He went to the garden, all he could see was a small light from that room. "It has been a long time, your Highness", she said. "Chang Mi, are you still mad?" he asked. "Why did you do that? I kept begging you. But - you didn't listen", fresh tears left her eyes. Her eyes were dark red blazing hot.

8 146Dungeon from the Void
A strange new dungeon, only having recently left the void; a destructive new element, never-before seen by the inhabitants of Midgard; and a half-elf mercenary on the search for a peaceful life. Within the world of Midgard, most people struggle just to survive. However, a daring few fight within places known as 'dungeons' to get stronger so that they may make a place for themselves within this cruel world. These few are known as cultivators. Our story begins with a young dungeon core as he enters the world of Midgard for the first time. This dungeon core, one bound to an element known only by the strongest people within the world, starts his new life outside of the void within a secluded mountain range, far away from any kingdom. How will the world react to this new dungeon core and his extremely dangerous element? That is yet to be foretold. Book 1 is available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Book 2 is available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. The rest is available on Royal Road. If you do not have the financial means to purchase the books, then you may DM me on discord through my discord channel for a pdf version of the books. This is the first book I ever started out of my four current ongoing stories. This story has been edited through nearly a dozen times since the majority of the reviews, so take that in mind if you read through the reviews. This is a LitRPG and cultivation-based novel where the two are interlinked and the characters have to reach a certain degree of cultivation and a certain level in order to break through into the next tier. I tend to make a lot of maps for this book. I hope that you all enjoy my novel, and feel free to comment on any issues or errors you may notice. My Discord Server Top Web Novel Link
