Princess of the lost Kingdom

Chapter 27

Third person's POV

Mina finally glances at Chaeyoung to see what the Queen is actually planning, and that's all Chaeyoung wanted. She takes the chance to smile warmly at the girl, 'That's alright, Mina. Green tea is fine.' She gently says,

Mina looks away, trying hard to hold in her emotions, because she can tell that she is about to give in after seeing that charming smile. But Chaeyoung quickly grabs her hand, 'Mina, don't ever turn away from me. I want you to only look at me.' It's a command, but it definitely sounds like a pleading from a powerful Queen who is so so deep in love with a defiance slave.

Mina turns back around to look at the Queen, she stares deeply into those bright and expressive eyes, but right now they are filled with concerns, concerns for her. Only God knows how much she wants to ask what does Chaeyoung meant by saying that, but she stays put, a slave is not allowed to ask questions,

On the other hand, realised what she just let slipped out of her mouth, Chaeyoung quickly clears her throat to change the topic, 'Ehmmm... Mina, stay here and help me with the... uhm, the propositions.' She then gently pulls Mina closer and holds on top of the girl's hand, she guides it to the royal seal, helps Mina to pick it up then stamps it onto a corner of a proposition together hand in hand, 'After I finish reading one proposition, you stamp one royal seal on the right corner just like this, huhm?!' The Queen gently tells her,

How can someone stays upset at such warm and gentle gestures, Mina's sadness is all gone, and is now replaced with great suprise, she is so amazed by how the Queen just let her touch a royal seal like that. The royal seal is a symbol of absolute power for a King or a Queen of a Kingdom, and hence only a King or a Queen can touch it. She remembered how her King father wouldn't let anyone touch his royal seal, not even herself or her sister Momo.

Seeing that Mina doesn't seem to be resisting or avoiding her anymore, Chaeyoung starts her reading, once she's done with a proposition, she would place it to her left side of the table so Mina can stamp it with the royal seal. One, two, and while the Queen is reading a third one, an idea pops into her head. When she finished, instead of placing it on the left side for Mina, she places it on the right side, far right on the table, just so Mina has to get closer to her to reach for it,

Unaware of the trap, Mina steps closer to the throne, then a little bit more but still couldn't reach it. She then has to step one foot in between the throne and the table to get even closer, and Chaeyoung was just waiting for that. One gentle pull from the Queen and Mina lost balance right away, she falls backwards right onto the Queen's lap,

'Please... Please forgive me, M... Master!' Mina frantically apologies while trying to stand up,

But Chaeyoung just pulls her in even closer, her arms wrapped around Mina's waist tightly, back hugging her, 'Stay! Don't go anywhere!' She commands with a more than sweet tone,

Mina stops moving, she nervously gulps as she's very worried that the Queen might hear her super fast and loud beating heart. But despite all that, she's not complaining about the position that she's in right now, Chaeyoung's lap is surprisingly comfortable, and those trustworthy arms which are wrapped around her waist are definitely making her feels safe and secure,

On the other hand, Chaeyoung is smiling ear to ear, loving the feelings of Mina in her arms. She can feel Mina's body was tense at first, then slowly loosen up and now the girl just melts right inside her hold. Mina just fits perfectly in her embrace, as if that is where she's supposed to be,

'But... but M... Master, aren't your legs hurting if I keep sitting like this?' Mina carefully asks,

'Mina, don't you know that you are as light as a feather? I can have you on my lap all day.' The Queen sweetly replies,
