*knock *knock "my lady may I come in?"

"Yes, come in, what is it?" The servant hands her a letter from king jeon. "The king wants me to give this to you my lady" Relief at the prospect of Jungkook's temporary absence, and dread at the ominous warning contained within the letter.

With trembling hands, she unfolded the parchment and read the words inscribed upon it. Her heart raced as she took in the message, each word a chilling reminder of the consequences of defiance.

"My queen I will be away for three nights," the letter read, its tone cold and authoritative. "You are warned not to entertain thoughts of escape during my absence if you attempt to defy my word you will receive a harsh punishment upon my return."

As Y/n absorbed the gravity of the king's warning, a sense of despair washed over her. She had hoped that Jungkook's absence would provide her with an opportunity to plan her escape, to break free from the chains that bound her to his tyranny.

But now, faced with the reality of his stern admonition, she knew that she had little choice but to bide her time, to wait for the right moment to make her move.

Y/n tucked the letter away, her mind racing with thoughts of what lay ahead. She knew that the road to freedom would be fraught with danger and uncertainty, but she refused to give up hope. She refused to be cowed by Jungkook's warning, to allow his tyrannical rule to dictate her fate any longer.

For in the depths of her soul, Y/n knew that she was not alone—that there were others who shared her desire for liberation, and who would stand by her side in the face of adversity.

"He has no right to tell me what to do and not to do," she declared, her voice ringing with defiance. "I will escape this prison, and I will escape him. No one can hold me captive against my will."

With each word she spoke, Y/n felt a sense of empowerment wash over her, fueling her determination to defy the king's will and carve out a path to freedom on her own terms.

And as she set about making preparations for her escape, her mind buzzing with plans and strategies, Y/n knew that the road ahead would be fraught with danger and uncertainty.

*2nights before the king's return.

Y/n paced back and forth on the balcony, her mind raced with thoughts of her daring plan. She knew that she needed to act quickly and decisively if she hoped to evade the king's watchful eye and make her escape.

With a steely determination burning in her veins, Y/n resolved to disguise herself as a servant—a lowly maid who could move about the castle unnoticed, her true identity concealed beneath a veil of anonymity.

With a sense of urgency coursing through her veins, Y/n set about gathering the necessary supplies for her disguise. She rummaged through the servants' quarters, searching for clothing that would help her blend in seamlessly among the castle staff.

After selecting a simple dress and apron, Y/n set to work transforming her appearance, tying her hair back in a loose bun and smudging dirt on her face to mimic the worn visage of a servant.

As she surveyed her reflection in the mirror, Y/n couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mingled with trepidation. "This will do! I can finally escape. " With a deep breath to steady her nerves, Y/n slipped out onto the balcony once more, her heart racing with anticipation. She knew that the time had come to set her plan into motion—to take fate into her own hands and defy the king's tyranny once and for all.

And as she made her way towards the servants' quarters, her pulse quickening with each step, "where were you? I've been looking for you, go out and buy this ingredients, move fast." One servant asked her. Y/n move fast without wasting anytime. She knew this is her chance to escape. "Be back home before night, the king might come today." Hearing the servant's word made her face pale. "It's just 2nights how come the king will come?" Y/n asked. "Of course our king has a queen now, he needs her by his side, now go and buy those in the list."
