"An heir?" You willfully make yourself sound royal. Was it too early? No it wasn't. It's only been a week since your wedding. Every nigh were spent passionately and you could see it in the castle folks eyes. The king would ask warm baths in the middle of night when everyone should be asleep. Your solar was far up the castle so it's impossible for people to hear you but the warm baths and random requests to change sheets at night from Taehyung gave it away.

"Yes your majesty, an heir," one of the council speaks. With all respect he could muster.

"An heir is what the council wants, an heir this kingdom will have," you speak, the king being taken aback.

You've only been in couple of council meetings as part of your duties a the queen but you already have upheld your position and has given the councils bearing to hold for you. You were indeed trained well in the North. But you had your fair share in running the castle there. The king smiles proudly at you. This has been a long awaited discussion for the council as they want to secure an heir to the throne. Although the king knows why, the council only wants to protect the throne from his brothers whom they trust as well but couldn't risk ant danger. After all, a crown is a crown. Power is still power.

"You heard the queen. We'll be on it as promise to the kingdom and it's future. We ask for you prayers as we go forth with this mindset," the king affirms.

"You have our confidence and approval your majesties. may fertility be bestowed upon you," one of the council bows.

"In another case, we might have cleared the borders of the kingdom from unwanted settlers. But there are still danger threatening as the sickness is still spreading. Doctor Namjoon is still on conducting vaccine operations in the villages far off of the central kingdom. Some has been reported dying from this sickness and we are all doing our best. Is there anything you want to do your majesty?" The next agenda was laid out.

This has been an ongoing problem not only to your kingdom but also to every part of the world. Other kingdoms has been reported to have it even worse than yours. It makes you wary at this point because even with herding with the vaccines, a lot of people are still affected and are afraid of the vaccines as they believe it kills them instead of the sickness.

"Do you have datas of the villages that are yet to be vaccinated?" The king asked.

They place forward a bunch of papers that has numbers and places on it. All villages that were unvaccinated were far from the centre of the kingdom and into the borders where the ocean is. You wonder why they weren't vaccinated yet but the data shows that the vaccine team has reached them.

"Why is this marked 'reached" but no numbers to correspond with it?" You ask.

"They refuse to let the royal vaccine team to enter your majesty. Traps were made in the woods hence we can't penetrate," they fill you in.
