"Stop there where you are.Approach no further.Remember ! you can't come near a womanizer" "You love me ! I know" Jungkook hoarsely completed the sentence which chaeyoung desperately wanted to blurted out.But with a scoff.She watched his face for any...

The court was in session in the Hall of Public Audience at the Fort. Every day, emperor Jeon jungkook held court there.There the official business of the empire was conducted, news brought from every corner of its vast lands, and petitions read.
It was a pleasant morning, the sky glowed with a red radiance as the sun rised, as if nature herself wished to provide a fitting backdrop for the event about to be enacte.The courtyard was filled with the merchants, the nobles, court officials.While a throng of people had gathered and crowded about the main entrance.There was a conversation going on very sensitive issue about oncoming princess chaeyoung's trail.There is a say once an accusation has been made, however damning it may be, doubt begins to blot the hearer’s mind. And so it was with common peoples.Most people had a strong belief in her morality because she was a silla Queen. Nevertheless no one has any doubt in their mind that if she is found guilty the emperor will surely announce a sentence of death to his Silla queen
There comes emperor Jungkook, as he strode into the court with a pleasant countenance and advanced in step to a deep, rolling drumbeat towards the higher marble platform.Sitting regally on chair he looked down on the ranks of his commanders and officers filling the great courtyard. But involuntarily he found himself searching for one person again and again. Namjoon's face came into his mind almost constantly.He has been terribly missing the presence of the most loyal friend on his right side
Princess yeri had come to find her seat up front a few feet apart from Jungkook sitting. The distance was so close that if she whispered anything, he could hear clearly. Among Jungkook's queens yeri was the only wife whom he gave permission to sit close to him. His mother, jimin, and Seokjin also stood there too.
"My people," he began "I ordered you all to assemble here before me to hear the royal inquisition of princess chaeyoung who charged for an act of treason." As the voices of his men rose in a great roar of approbation, their faces reflected the anxiety welling within Jungkook himself.
Within not even a minute's time,a gasp went up as princess chaeyoung appeared.She was led into the spacious courtyard surrounded by two bulky female guards.In deference to her status and position of a queen she was not bounded.
Wonwoo has been bowing his head all these time. When he straightened, he allowed his gaze to fall on chaeyoung almost enthusiastically yet diffidently. He had caught a glimpse of her often at court but had never saw closer like this.No story he had heard about her beauty, no portrait he had seen of her—not even the one he had seen in silla, did justice to the woman before him.The beauty who they called Goddess from heaven!
Chaeyoung walked slowly and halted at the center of court with veiled face.She was also uncomfortably aware of the curious glances from the other nobles in the hall. Jungkook turned to her, but he did not speak.He obviously think her guilty, she thought.Hadn't he already condemned her as the others had?But her pride did not desert her. If she were to die today, she would die as a silla Princess would.
