They are finally in the capital after getting directions from different people.

The capital is beautiful and Taehyung is in awe. Achena was indeed something. The building and everything looks much more modernize than where they are coming from.

Taehyung can guess a lot will be praying king Jungkook dies with no heir so they can get their hands on the wealth and resources of Achena.

Too bad that won't be happening

This is the home of his unborn child, the kingdom he will rule one day. Taehyung can't help but think of a future, their future.

"Wow when they said Achena is wealth itself, they were not exaggerating" His hyung said eyes sparkling with excitement as he takes in the beautiful capital.

Even back home Taehyung had heard of Achena, is why they had decide to come here after they lost their home before they decided to settle in king Yoongi's kingdom.

"And now we ask the road to the palace." His hyung mumbles already moving the horse

It didn't take them long to get direction to the palace.

"Wait wait, Taehyung-" his hyung stopped abruptly. "We can't just walk up to the gate and ask to see the king, we are talking about the king of Achena"

Taehyung bites his lower lip in regret.

"I know that look Taehyung spit it out"

"Well you see hyung, in a very short story of a really long story-"

"Get to the point Tae"

"Well he did give me the royal seal to come to him whenever I wanted but I burnt it?"

"Wait wait slow down, you did say he asked you to come to Harlem, did he really?" Taehyung nods. "Wow" his hyung breathes looking so small from the position he's standing. "And he gave you the royal seal to come back any time you wanted?" Jin asked after a few seconds of taking in the first information.

"Yes hyung"

"And what happened to it?"

"I burnt it?"

"Are you asking me or telling him"

"Both?"

"Taehyung!"

"Yes hyung I burnt it" His hyung takes in a deep breath still glaring at him. And completely looking funny to him

"And why would you do that?"

"Hyung I- just ok it was just so tempting the longer I kept it around, I just.. I knew I wasn't going to go"

"Did you?

"The moment I was burning it I knew it"

"And after then?"

"I wasn't so sure anymore"

"Taehyung I'm not going to go into this right now, cause we have a bigger problem, we can't see the king without the seal."

Taehyung let out a sigh

"Even though we'll manage to see him. It is going to take a while and a long process with a good reason why we want to see the king."

"Hyung"

"What even is your obsession with burning things" His hyung suddenly said looking up to glare at him.

Taehyung couldn't hold back his laughter. "I'm sorry hyung you just look so small and funny from down there glaring at him"

"How about I smack you down on the ground and see who will be looking up to who?"

Taehyung dramatically sealed his mouth shut.

His hyung roll his eyes mumbling a "brat"

When they got close to the palace gate, not close enough to raise any suspicion but close enough to see the guards outside the tall wide gate.

"There's no way they will let us get in Taehyung. And we can't just go and tell them the truth. They won't believe considering the number of people that has come to the palace with same lie, except well you are not lying"

The amount of confidence his hyung said the last statement just makes him wants to give him a tight hug.

"Who knows they could even stone you to death before even the king knows about you and the pregnancy, the gods forbid"

"Hyung we have been standing here for more than an hour, can we just go try, atleast they can tell us what we need to do to see the king."

"Ok I guess, but don't say anything about being intimate with the king or being with a child Taehyung"

"Ok"

"I'm serious Taehyung"

"I know hyung I won't"

Jin turned back to look at the horse they had tied to a long poll .

"I think it will be safe there"

Taehyung nods not even sure if the horse will be safe there

They both made their way towards the palace gate.

"Show yourself" One of the guards said hand on the edge of his sword on his waist.

They both pull down the cloak they had on earning a subtle shocked gasp from some of the guards

"Who are you and what do you want in the grand palace of Achena?"

"My name is Kim Seokjin and this is my brother Kim Taehyung, we want an audience with the royal majesty King Jungkook"

Ok Taehyung wants to appluade his brother right now.

"Why do you want to see the king, and do you have the royal seal?"

Oh no

"We will like to discuss something personal and important with the king and no we do not have the royal seal"

The guards start laughing.

"Listen omegas we know your type, you have to wait and get an invitation first before you can move in to Harlem"

"Personal and important indeed" one of them mumbles making the others starts laughing again.

"Please this has nothing to do with Harlem. please, just tell us what we need to do to see the king since we don't have the royal seal" Taehyung pleads. His charm seems to work on few.

One spoke up

"Before you can see the king without a seal, you have to see the minister of defence first, then tell him what you want with the king, if what you want to discuss with the king is important enough, the minister will then write the report to the king, and well you can only see the king if he approves of your presence, it takes two months"

Taehyung wants to cry

"Sometimes a year" another guard adds. "So if you are interested to go through this process comeback in a week because at the moment the minister of defence is out of the kingdom"

And Taehyung is almost at the verge of crying. Before he'll see the king he would have given birth already.

"Thank you" Jin bowed before dragging him away. "Tae, hey stop, stop stop ok? we'll find another faster way ok?"

Before Taehyung could form another word few horses were riding towards the gate. They men were all dressed in military uniforms.

His hyung pulled away from him with a shocked gasp

"No way" his hyung breathes, fast walking towards the military men at the gate.

"Hyung?"
