You let yourself heave a silent sigh as you walk pass by him and into the hallway again. He closes the door behind him and starts walking down the hall. You follow him suit without a word. As he walks, his scent whifts behind you. He smells of musky peach and fresh laundry with a hint of mint. You find it really intriguing so you just follow closely behind and inhales his scent. It made you imagine of peach trees and fresh peach fruit. He then stops infront of another door, maybe seven doors from where you two just exited.
"Try this room," he said to you and steps aside.
You step forward and hold the knob and twist it. The door opens showcasing a room full of swords and built armors on the side that are standimg on platforms. A couple of bust statues and the prince with a head armor on. He turns his head to face you and his eyes widened.
He immediately removes the head armor, clutches it to his side and bows.
"Your majesty," he greeted.
Your brows furrows. For a moment there you thought he was pertaining to you but when you heard footsteps, you looked behind you as well. The man starts walking in with a solemn look on his face.
Your majesty?
You let out an audible gasp as your eyes widen in embarassment and realization. Before you could even think, you fall to your knees and let your forehead touch the floor.
"I am really regretful your majesty, please have mercy," you blurt as fear washes over you.
You just entered his office without knocking and even talked to him so casual as if he is not the king of the very land you are standing on. Your insides tremble as the thought of being flagged entered your head. You start to sweat and your hands starts to shake.
Heesung looks down at you with one brow raised and places the head armor back to the shelf where he got it. He stood there and watch the king squat to almost your level on the ground.
He reaches for your chin and felt you flinch a little. "Lady y/n, fear not. I am not going to punish you," he said once your eyes met.
He might've felt your worry and fear so instead of waiting for you to answer, he helps you back up. He steps away to give you space and looks at Heesung with disappointment. The young prince looks away and mutters an apology that you could barely hear.
"Since I've been hearing you do this a lot, I shall acompany you to your lessons," Taehyung said.
Heesung and your eyes widen at the king's resolve. It would mean more pressure to you but it would make the prince sit throughout the lessons.
"What?" Heesung protests but realizes he just raised his voice at the king. "I apologize your majesty. Whatever you decide on, I shall comply." He said.
You bow as well together with Heesung and let's the king accompany you with the lessons. It's a bit petty of him but you thought he might really care for their youngest. He just wants the best for him. You follow them both back to the library at the north wing of the palace which was very far considering you three walked by foot. It didn't bother you though but you seem to trip over your dress more often than you should on an ankle level dress.
Servants starts to follow you three as you near the center of the palace which is where you need to pass by before arriving at the library. Where have you've been? You were walking mindlessly just minutes ago and now you find yourself already tired from that walk. Heesung never looked back at you as you walk. Meanwhile, the king kept glancing at you with a worried look on his face.
You start to wonder why he would be worried but that thought was cut off when someone opened the library's double doors to usher you three inside. Everyone was left outside the library as the three of you walk to where your lesson area is.
"Start your lessons now, I'll just be around reading," Taehyung said and looked at his younger brother. "Don't even think about running away with me just nearby," he said and made his leave.
Heesung scratches the back of his head and sits down on one of the chairs, brings out his pen and opens his notebook. He gestures you to take your place and start.
You clear your throat silently and opens the book that you readied before leaving to look for him. Good thing you've already read parts of it so you kinda know where to start.
You casually sat down infront of him earning a surprised look on his face.
"What are you doing?" He asked you.
"We're starting the lesson," you said and shut the book. You grabbed a pen from the table and writes on his notebook tge date today and slides it back to him.
"You have got to be kidding me," he said with a smirk and rolling of eyes.
You smirked back at him and nodded. "Always write down the dates of our lessons, it'll come in handy one day," you said and was about to talk when he closes his notebook.
"Why would I even listen to you," he says with a low voice so the king won't hear him.
"You won't, but I know you'll listen to his majesty," you said and was about to stand up and call for him but he pulled you by your sleeve with embarrassed look on his face.
"Fine," he briefly surrendered and let's you start the lesson.
All the while, the king was just sitting nearby close enough to listen but concealed enough not to be found. He's holding the same book you were reading and follows on with your discussion. He nods in agreement at some points and raises is brow in surprise that he missed that small detail. He then gives up and closes the book to listen to you better. In his mind, you are worthy of becoming the young prince's teacher.
