The Queen's General (✓)

Season 2 chapter 1

"Prince David, quit running please"
His nanny calls him while trying to catch up with his speed. The 2 year old boy has sweat in his forehead but doesn't mind it as he look back at her

A not so old woman with a towel on her hand stop on the hallway to catch her breath

"David?"
His father calls, the boy whipped his head and stopped running to figure out which way the voice is coming

"Daddy!"
He shouts now turning left to reach the living room. Prince Jungkook just arrived from the meeting he has with nobles and members of the parliament while the young queen is still in a meeting with duchess and conde

"Come here David"
Jungkook says again dropping on a couch to straighten his back. The boy come running from the hall, he almost hit the lampshade on the corner of it before running again towards him

" Be careful!" Jungkook stand up and scoop him from the ground then he leans on the wall to stop the lamp from falling

He look down on the child on his arms
"Why is hard for you to follow our orders? Do you want Mom to be sad because you're not listening to us?"
The child pouts adorably and shakes his head "no daddy"

The nanny comes to view with quick step to get the child from him

"Apologies your highness, I couldn't catch up with him"
She takes a breath and lowers her body to match the young prince's height and wipes his sweat all over his forehead, neck and back

They start to hear murmuring and laughter, the queen is now walking in the hallway with their guest, they are about to go when Taehyung sees her husband and child on the living room with the nanny busy to change David's shirt to a dry one

"Mommy!"
David runs again greeting his Mom with her guest with open arms. Taehyung gets him with both hands raising him from the ground and hugs him tight with kisses

"How's my baby? Hmm? You feel sticky? Why you smell sweat?"
She raises an eyebrow and pulls back, now looking at his face. David pouts again. He knows his Mom wouldn't like if he smell sour from sweat and now she knows he's been running again

"I'm soweee" he shake his head and tears threatened to fall. His Mom will get sad again like last time he caught him running from upstairs till they reach the garden with her dogs following him

He opens his arms again trying to embrace her from the shoulder as Taehyung let him holds her, the royals cooing at the boy's cute act

"are you really sorry?"
The boy nods in her shoulder, tightening his holds on her

"sowee, Mommy"

"If you're sorry, you wouldn't do it again, huh baby?"

Taehyung presses him more, hands on the back of his head and sways a little. She knows she's spoiling him but what she can do? He loves him very much. Jungkook comes to get him from her but he wouldn't let go. He hides on the crook of her neck

"Come here baby"
Jimin reaches her hand standing behind the queen to see the child's face. David hears her voice and pull back to see her, he let go and let her get him

"You need a shower now"
She wipes the hair on his forehead and kisses it

"Come with nanny now, we will wait for you in the patio for snacks"
David nods agreeing and look around for his nanny, he wiggles to let him get down and walks to the lady. He raises his small arms for her to carry him.. he feels tired from all the running now

They all witness it and cooes again

"The young Prince is so cute! I want to have a child like him"
The other one said with her hands on her cheeks

"His eyes got from his dad"
The other says witnessing how doe his eyes is

"absolutely.. and his lips, it definitely comes from his Mom"
The other agrees

"of course he got those from his parents, who else it must have be? From the neighbors?"
Jimin can't help it but to be sassy. Those remarks have been said for almost a year now but her ears never got used to hear it

They all laugh because of her

Jungkook hold her wife's hand, now heading to the garden.. a long table with snacks are waiting for them

They let all their guest settle as Jungkook pull the young queen on the side hidden from them and kisses her, hands on her waist pulling her more if possible while Taehyung's hand on his shoulder feeling his muscles on it

"Baby, I missed you"
Jungkook whisper between kisses. Taehyung smiles pulling him more for a kiss, feeling his soft lips on her

"It's just hours that we are not together"

Jungkook signs, his head low
"Having a meeting with them without you feels weeks. It gets boring and my opinions don't matter, I've been listening and taking notes... they are nobles.. you know. I don't have a say with that"

Being racist in their kingdom has been an issue his wife has been addressing but they were saying Taehyung just wants to reprimand it because her husband is a General without a royal blood

But it is not the case, royal or not, commoner or noble. They should be treated equal not base on their status or anything. They are all citizens of the same ground so what's the use of being racist?

Taehyung squint her eyes. She doesn't like when her husband has been treated like nothing.. he's a prince now, her other half and Jungkook represents her. Disrespecting him will be the same as disrespecting her

Jungkook cups the side of her face and kisses her. He doesn't want to anger her by the things happened in his meeting

"So how's your?"
He changes the topic feeling her changes of mood

"Mine was, well.. it went well other than... There is one missing again, well, it's understandable that she's not attending but it's been years.. you think she haven't moved on?"

She's talking about a certain duchess that is not attending every time she asked for a meet up. Jungkook closes his eyes. He has nothing to do with her and Taehyung is aware of it

They stay close just holding each other. Jungkook leans connecting their forehead

"I'm afraid, I hope nothing could brings us a problem that will cause us to be .... "

Taehyung leans and captures his lips, she doesn't like whenever Jungkook worries about the future. They have a child now, they should focus on how they work on his upbringing and for their country.. as long as everything is under control, everything will be fine

This is short. Apologies, I had a rough week. Having too many that act like a boss is difficult to work. It becomes stressful
Have a good day for all of us
