You look at yourself in the mirror with disdain. Not only were you offered a bigger life but also knowing your origin and past self. Though you have forgotten your title of a duchess, remnants of that damned title are lingering and it puts you off. Sunoo's words last night were right but it still doesn't sit right with you that the king just offered you marriage which entails being the queen of the kingdom you were once just a slave.

You look away from your reflection and down to your hands that are slightly trembling from unease. You inhale deeply and exhaled sharply. Today, you're bound to travel to Welves as a translator and travel guide. It was on your schedule and you could've sworn you declined it but Namjoon begged you to be on that trip with Jungkook.

He stated that the kingdom needs the medicine most. He warned you that the general will lead the travel. This is what makes you uneasy. Being alone with Jungkook on the travel with a couple of men. You knew you'll be in the carriage with him alone. Unless he decided to ride his horse.

Your eyes trails back to your reflection in the mirror. Your cloak securely clasped infront of you. As if today is your last day to live, you sigh, it isn't.

Welves

If your travelling from the North, it will only take you a good 3 hours by horse or by carriage. If you're from the South, you're afraid it's going to take longer. It's been so long since you last travelled. Not only is this journey going to be long, it's going to be like a first time again. Ofcourse it makes sense that the trading will happen there since ports are present in the country.

You close your eyes and sigh once more.

"You are not backing out from this," you warned yourself.

With that, you stand up and exit your room. It's barely sunrise so the halls are unsurprisingly dim. The only sound that is heard are your footsteps. The ends of your skirt and cloak slightly grazes the floor and sometimes, you accidentally step on it. You didn't mind though, it's something trivial compared to the storm that's going on in your head.

"You're early sweetheart," Taehyung comments behind you.

You turn back quickly on reflex and bows to him.

"Your majesty," you speak.

Teahyung presents his hand to you. You raise your head and look at his hand and to his face.

"Mind if I take you on a short walk?" He speaks.

You nod and smile to him.

"It is my pleasure your majesty," he take his hand and let him lead the way.

Jungkook might get furious when you get kate but being with the king is a great excuse.

"Your majesty," you start a conversation.
