"We will take care of you, child," the queen smiled, "we will give you an education, food, a bed and everything you ask for."

"R-really?" Taehyung asks.

"Yes, my child," the queen smiles.

"Can I g-go back to pack my bag?" Taehyung smiles back at her.

"Not required. You will have everything you need here," the queen takes his hand, "let's bath you and then get better outfits for you! Come on."

Taehyung takes her hand and goes along with her.

A few weeks later, Taehyung had grown accustomed to the royal ways and started learning about business and royal matters. 

"I miss Yunahet," Taehyung says to himself, "She promised she'd be there for me when I get back but I never went back..."

"Who is Yunahet?" He hears the queen from behind.

"Oh, queen," he bows, "I didn't notice you there."

"Please, don't call me queen. Don't bow. I am your mother, Taehyung," the queen says.

"I am sorry, mother," Taehyung apologizes. 

"It's fine. Now, who is Yunahet?" The queen asks.

"She's a friend of mine. She's been there for me all the time. I really like her, mother," Taehyung explains.

"Is she..." the queen asks, "perhaps a peasant?"

"Yes," Taehyung replies, "but she is like a princess. Bold, kind and warm. You will love her mother. Perhaps I should introduce her to you!"

"Oh, my child," the queen's face falls, "you should. I need to know the girl who succeeded in capturing your heart."

Taehyung smiles, "Can I go to her place?"

"Sure," the queen straightens her posture, "just take a few guards along with you."

"Boo!"

"AAH!" Yunahet screams.

"OH MY GOD TAEHYUNG!" She jumps and hugs him.

"Girl! You cannot touch the prince," one of the guards pushes her.

"Hey!" Taehyung gets furious, "She is my friend. She has all the rights to touch me."

"I'm sorry, sir. But there are orders from the queen to not let anyone near you," the guard explains.

"I'm bringing her to the palace," Taehyung states, "Come on, my dear."

"W-wait-" she stops, "What the hell is going on-"

"I'll explain to you, my dear," Taehyung smiles and slips his hand in hers, "Let's go."

On reaching the palace, Taehyung shows her around the place, explains what happened, shows his new clothes, books and weapons.

"Wow, you really got lucky," she giggles.

"We," Taehyung corrects, "you're my friend. Who's been there for me. So you have gotten lucky along with me. You no longer have to starve or wear torn clothes. I'll provide for you."
