Lueur| A Yoongi FF| (Completed✓)

13- Purpose

The entire party met up for lunch in the airy dining room of the home, which opened up into a cliffside patio, waves crashing on the rocks below.

There was a polite silence that had descended in the entire room, King Ye jun reading through the documents given to him by his secretary while Aera and Yong-saeng tried to make polite conversation with Elira.

"Let's go for a walk after lunch, shall we, Elira?" Aera asked with an amicable smile.

"Okay, your highness," Elira answered politely before she turned back to face her plate.

.....

Queen Aera walked along with Elira along the seaside, the smooth stone pathway winding lazily down from the cliffside along the edge of the property, the air salty as it blew in their faces, the sound of the waves crashing against the coast a welcome change from the ambient city noise of Seoul.

"Thank you for inviting me here, your highness," Elira said with a smile as Aera took her arm and held it, pulling her closer.

"I'm glad you could come, you've been lovely company this week," she said, looking at Yoongi sitting in one of the outdoor patio chairs, reading a book, "I don't think I've seen that boy this happy in years now,"

Elira smiled looking at Yoongi, who looked up from his book, waving a little wave at both of them.

"I'm glad to hear that."

Aera stopped and turned to face Elira,

"I hope Yong-Saeng's advances didn't feel awkward and off-putting..." Aera said carefully

Elira didn't know what to answer, so she just looked at Aera, who continued, "We didn't invite you just so that he could ask. To be honest, we asked for an ambassador of state since we know the King of Avar is always busy, an invitation to a function would only be a painful obligation. But that's not to say we didn't hope he'd pick you, " she said with a smile, her head tilting to one side.

"I hope you found Korea enjoyable. And I hope you'll visit us again soon, the doors are open anytime..."

Elira squeezed the latter's hands in reply, before whispering a "May I?" Opening her arms

Aera chuckled as she did the same, pulling Elira in for a hug.

Yoongi watched the two women over the edge of his book,

"Staring at them like that won't enable you to listen in on their conversation,"

Yoongi jumped up, dropping his book on the ground, looking back at Namjoon in annoyance, "What do you think they're talking about anyway?" he said as he didn't take his eyes off them

"I'll be darned if I knew," Yoongi mumbled as he retrieved his book, dusting its cover, "Only one way to find out," he said as he placed the book on his chair and tried to look nonchalant as he walked up to the pair.

"And here he comes," Aera said as she grabbed Yoongi with her other arm, "Couldn't stay away, could you?"

"I-"

"That was a rhetorical question, love. Go on now, take Elira around, and be on time for dinner," Aera said as she patted Yoongi on his back before leaving

Elira smiled at Queen Aera, before raising an eyebrow at Yoongi, who just shrugged

"I have no clue," he whispered to Elira before they walked together, their hands behind their backs as Elira looked out at the sea,

Yoongi looked at the path ahead, "watch out for the stones ahead, they're notorious for-" he turned around to see Elira's eyes widen in alarm as her foot slipped, "Yoon-" she said before her words were swallowed by a splash

Yoongi burst out laughing, clutching his stomach as he kneeled on the edge, Elira breaking the surface with a gasp, looking at him in annoyance, "YOU COULD'VE TOLD ME SOONER!"

Yoongi didn't answer, his body shaking as he quietly laughed, his eyes tearing up.

Elira couldn't glare looking at Yoongi absolutely losing his shit, joining him, laughing as she waved her arms about to keep herself afloat

"Now stop laughing and give me a hand!" she said as she raised her hand out up to him

"I won't fall for that-" his words were cut short by Elira reaching over the edge and grabbing his leg, taking advantage of the unstable stones under his feet, laughing as he fell into the water next to her with a splash

His head bobbed up next to her, his mouth set in a thin line as he looked at her with tiny eyes while she laughed

They heard footsteps on the ledge above, only to find Namjoon and one of the guards peek over the edge, "Your Royal highnesses!"

Yoongi and Elira burst into giggles again looking at their horrified expressions

"The cold is getting to them now," Namjoon said as he shook his head, helping the both of them out, the servants wrapping both of them in warm fluffy towels.

...

King Ye jun looked away from the window of his study, turning to face Yong saeng, who looked at him with a sulky expression

"I don't know why you still invited her over after her purpose was nullified the moment she declined-"

Ye jun scoffed as he sat back down, "And what makes you think that?"

Yong saeng raised an eyebrow and looked at his father as the latter didn't elaborate further, the study falling silent again, muffled laughter filtering in from the garden outside.

....

Elira walked out of the bathroom, steam spilling into the room, humming as she dried her hair with a towel. She stopped by the window, looking out and slowly rubbing her head when she heard a sharp rap on her door,

She looked to see Alder walk in carefully, his face not meeting his eyes as he fiddled with a napkin in his hands, his forehead covered in a light sheen of sweat,

"Your highness..."

"What is it Alder?" she said as she dropped the towel on an armchair,

"It's your father, the King and the Princess..."

"What about them?"

Alder took a sharp inhale as he carefully strung the words

"They're no more, your highness-"

"What? Alder? Wha-"

"The Queen has been searching for you since this morning, calling up one place to another. They didn't know about you being here, and then we lost connection on the train and then you've been busy with lunch and I was busy setting up everything for your comfort-"

Elira raised her hand, it shaking from the shock

Dead?

"Alder... Now tell me what happened. Both of them were completely fine when I left not more than a week ago..."
