《The Princess' Messenger》Part 8
Advertisement
Jungkook was travelling towards the southern part of the nation as soon as possible. He has to take a boat to reach the island and also he has a letter to meet a local doctor who would help him gather medicine while he is on a mission.
After a long journey, he decided to rest in an inn. He carefully locked his belongings and rested a bit. Your face kept flashing in his mind. "Did I see right? Did she shed tears or my eyes are playing with me?" he sighed.
"Why would she cry for me?" he cleared his thoughts to sleep. Not soon he heard a voice. "Jungkook! Jungkook! Wake up", it was yours. He immediately recognised it. "Princess!" he rushed out to follow the voice.
"Princess! Why are you crying? How did you come here?" he was concerned, looking for the guards. Instead, you stepped a bit closer to him. You raised your heel to place a kiss on his cheeks. "Princess!" he was shocked to death.
He was so shocked that he screamed and woke up from the dream. His heartbeat was heard in the whole room. "What the hell was that? Why am I dreaming about her in that way?" he placed his hand on his chest.
He noticed that he had to resume his journey. With a fluttering heart and heated cheeks, he continued his journey. He couldn't hide his smile as well. "Why am I so shy? How will I face her again after dreaming about her like this? Ahh", his heart was a mess.
You on the other hand announced that you want to stay closer to your father. There was a huge complaint from the generals. "Princess, if you do so it will look like you don't trust us with the King", General Lee said.
"I don't trust you, that's the fact", you said to him. "What do you mean?" he raised his voice. "The man you brought in was the one who made a scene in the palace. You are the one who is not trustable or the ones with you.
He indirectly said about Jimin as well. "General, we all know what happened that night. Your sweet daughter in law was the one who kidnapped him from my house. If that happens, how can I live somewhere far away? You guys have been treating the King for months.

Nothing has improved so far. I will take care of him", you said. He looked defeated. "Your son is highly incapable of sitting on the throne. Think we'll before you plot something. If you are caught you know what is the punishment for committing treason", you walk away.
Even though his pride was hurt, you were partially right. His son is incapable of ruling the country alone. You shifted everything to the palace. "Princess, can I ask you a question?" Yuri asked you.
"Yes, you can", you said. She came closer to you. "Is it true that you sent Jungkook to bring medicines for the King and nothing more?" she asked. You saw a ray of hope in her eyes.
"You will know soon", you patted her cheeks. "Can I expect his arrival?" she asked. "Umm... That's difficult, Yuri. I couldn't even predict his actions being his sister for years. Hope for the best", you said. Yuri never got too close with Chang Mi.
She was always intimidated by her. Chang Mi had no interest in Yuri because she knows nothing good can happen anyway. Things were pretty normal for you. You convinced them that you sent Jungkook because he was not safe here.
Also, you told them that you couldn't trust anyone there because you didn't believe their treatment. Jungkook finally reached the southern tip of the country. He was walking through the woods in an attempt to find the seashore.
He saw a beautiful view in front of him. He saw a small house a little away from the lighthouse. He didn't go to the port because that's a long route to the island and it's not safe for him without revealing the actual reason.
He saw a girl who was sitting in front of the house and daydreaming maybe! He approached her. "Uhm, Miss", he called her. She saw him, no, actually she scanned him. "She is pretty!" he thought for a moment.
"Not that pretty when compared to y/n", he mentally slapped himself as this thought crossed his mind. "Who are you? What do you want?" she asked, uninterested. "I want to see doctor Choi. It's his house, right?" he asked. "Yes. Why do you want to see him? I am his daughter", she said.
"It's confidential", he said. She clicked her tongue. "Are you from the palace? Did they send you?" she asked. She was quite straightforward. "Can I meet your father?" he asked. "No. Not before answering me", she crossed her arms.

"This woman. Why do I meet abnormal women all the time?" he sighed. Thankfully, doctor Choi came back home. He introduced himself and delivered the letter you gave him. He read the letter carefully.
"Don't worry young man. I will keep this confidential and make sure to give you the medicines when you return", he said. "Thank you sir", he politely bowed to him. "I want someone to drop me off there", he said.
"Unfortunately, we have no boatmen available. But my daughter, Mina, is a skilled person. She would even go twice a day. You can ask her", he said. Jungkook gulped. "Uhm, Miss... I think you heard from your father, can you drop me off?" he asked, as polite as possible.
She just chuckled. "I can't take you now. Because I might want to return late. I will take you tomorrow", she said. "Thank you", he said. "Phew! That's easier than I thought", he said to himself.
She had a hard aura. No one could be near her that easily. That night he stayed there. Due to travel fatigue, he slept well. He slept till the bright sunlight hit his face. He woke up abruptly. He freshened up and searched for Mina.
"She went to a temple in the forest. You can find her there", her mother said. He went inside the forest to search for her. She was already coming back home. "Uhm, I am sorry. I think I slept too much. But can you drop me now? It's urgent", he said.
"I can't drop you off on your demand. You were sleeping like a log. I gave up waking you up. I will drop off only when I can", she said. "Jungkook was becoming impatient. When will that be?" he asked, a bit annoyed. "I don't know", she shrugged off.
"Don't play, Mina", he said. "Look, there is a time for everything. If you keep bugging me, I will push off in the mid-ocean", she threatened. "My fate", he cursed himself. "What?!" she placed her hands on her hips.
"It's my fate that I got myself begging with a psycho", he said. "Yah! You talk too much", she said. "You are the one who is behaving like a spoiled Princess", he said. "I am the Princess of this seashore. I am not more spoiled than the Princesses living in your palace", she fought back.
They both reached the shore fighting. "Not all Princesses are spoiled. There are some intelligent and beautiful ones as well", he said. "They stay in a shelter and I rot in the blazing sun. That's the difference in beauty", she said.
Jungkook thought that he offended her. "I didn't mean like that. I am sorry", he said. She scoffed. But she was genuinely surprised that he apologized immediately. "Are you a Prince?" she asked you.
He shook his head as a no. "I guessed that. It would have been a surprise if a fool like you was a Prince", she said. "Yah! Psycho!" he scoffed. "Have you seen a handsome guy more than me?
You don't even know how many girls are whipped for me", he tried to show off. "There is a Prince whose charms can't be beaten. He is the most handsome and intelligent man I have ever seen", she said. "Who?" Jungkook asked.
"Kim Taehyung", she said, but immediately closed her mouth. "Yah! I forgot to collect some woods", she ran into the forest again. Jungkook found this a bit odd. For some reason, they were kind of friends or enemies or maybe frenemies.
"Mina, when will you even take me there?" he asked. "Look at the sky. There is a potential risk for a storm", she said. Jungkook pulled his hair. "Also, I found this ring on the mat you were sleeping on", she showed the ring.
"Give it back", he snatched immediately. "How could I be so careless?" he slipped the ring in his hand. The next morning came in swift. There was a commotion outside. He rubbed his eyes and came out.
You were standing in front of the house crossing your arms. "Am I dreaming again?" he smiled, sheepishly. "Jungkook! What is so funny? Why are you still here?" your voice ringed. He rubbed his eyes once again. It was you for real.

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)
