JUNGKOOK :
''yes, father'', said Jungkook entering his father's study ''have a seat Jungkook'', said the king without even sparing a glance towards the prince and keeping his attention on his papers, Jungkook quickly sat down on the chair opposite of his father, ''so I need you to go into this little village, with the general and do some charity work, and show them that their future king cares about them, understand'', the king keeping his eyes on the papers on his desk.
''Yes, father'', Jungkook replied while getting up and bowing slightly,'' Namjoon is waiting for you at the gates, you may leave now'', finally looking up at his only son who kept his head low.
............
Jungkook sat relaxed in his cottage, with the general on his side,'' we have one more place to be, your highness'', Jungkook nodded his head solemnly, it had been an exhausting day for everyone, especially Jungkook since everywhere he had stopped whether it was too great the citizens or help someone, ladies would practically trough themselves at him, he was used to this attention, and he liked it as well but he could only like it so much, he already knew a prince did not have the luxury of falling in love with someone, although he did wish he would end up like his parents who loved each other very dearly despite being arranged into marriage.
Jungkook was kicked out of his thoughts when the cottage was abruptly stopped, he could already hear people outside whispering and ladies jumping with excitement to meet their handsome prince, the general got out of the cottage first arranging the guards for the prince to have the best possible safety,'' we are ready for you, your highness '' he heard the general call-out, he straightened out his coat and held up his head, with a smile and got out with all the citizens bowing slightly to show respect to their future king, he slightly waved his hand in the air as a sign for everyone to stop bowing and proceeded to walk into the market to buy a few things from the citizen's shops, there was one shop, in particular, he wanted to see which was popular among everyone because of its beautiful wood carvings.
He wanted a snake carved so he went ahead to do just that, the general had been there himself so he led the prince to the shop while talking about the snake he wanted to be carved, the prince and the general had a great relationship, the general adored the prince a lot and knew he would become a great leader one day, and so the prince loved the general much more he was after all the one who trained him to fight like a monster, to the prince he was his older brother, they were on first-name terms but saying that in public would be quite inappropriate ''and here in the shop, my prince'', ''alright let us see what everyone is always talking about, shall we?
LALISA :
She heard the little bell ring indicating that a customer had entered, she quickly sweeper the rest of the dirt in the back room and lined the broom with the wall and walked out to be greated by a man that looked to her be about her age and wearing what looked like very expensive clothing, this wasn't very suprinsing since this shop was quite famous and frequently visited by the people of the court, what did surprise her was when the man looked back sensing her Prencesce, they both stood still for very different reasons, she never would have expected the PRINCE TO COME TO THE SHOP TO VIST HER SHOP, realizing they both were staring at each other with wide eyes she quickly claered her throught and fell into 90-degree bow, ''how may I help you, your highness'' she said while standing although he was still staring at her, it looked like her voice had put him in even more of trance, she quickly put her hands on her cheeks that were heating up, which he noticed and quikally lowered his head with his cheeks matching hers.
He too cleared his thought and finally found his words '' I was wondering if you had a carving of a snake'', ''no your highness but it could be carved In a few days if you could please just draw the design on this piece of parchment'' she had regained her confidence, she had to sell and a prince buying could be her jackpot.
the prince looked surprised probably thinking she would swoon over his good looks like every other lady in town, she wanted to scoff at, that but she would not say he did not have very handsome features, the prince took the piece of parchment from her hand and quickly took it to the counter and began drawing the snake he wanted to be carved.
Lalisa went behind the counter and was a little surprised when she looked at the parchment, the prince had beautiful drawing skills, she was also surprised when he kept glancing at her not very subtly.
she felt compelled to compliment the prince on his skills and so she did, when he handed her the parchment ''you are very skilled at drawing, my highness, it is very beautiful''
''not as beautiful as you, my lady'', Lalisa looked at the prince with a very wired look upon her face, the prince who had lined against the counter with a smirk, he straightened when he saw the look on her face, so he did think of her like every other lady in the town, she was quite used to getting compliments from male's and being treated like eye candy and she hated that with a passion when the prince made such a comment she had lost some respect for her future king.
''the carving will be done in about a week or two, your highness, you may collect it in two weeks and pay then, have a great day'' she bowed slightly and went to the backroom leaving the prince standing there in shock, but before she could leave, she felt a hand on her wrist stopping her she turned around to be standing face to face with the handsome prince a bit too close to be considered normal, he looked deep into her eyes, Lalisa felt like he was looking into her soul, Lalisa, on the other hand, was left mouth opened while she too was staring at the prince's doe shaped eyes.
with the prince hand still wrapped around her wrist, he tugged at it gently making a little gasp escape Lalisas mouth, the prince smirk in satisfaction at her reaction, they were so close they were breathing each other's air.
''Forgive me for making such a comment, but I was just stating the truth, my lady, could I please know your name, if that is alright by you of course '', he stated while searching her eyes,
''Ummm-i-i''she heard the prince chuckled under his breath while releasing her wrist, she quickly put some distance between them, she mentally scolded her self for acting such away and said with what she hoped sounded like confidence '' my name is Lalisa Manoban, your highness'', although she sounded quite high pitched, her hands were on top of each other and she was looking down, she put her head slowly up to see the prince staring at her with a huge grin on his face she wanted so badly to wipe off, she looked back down.
''Well lady Lalisa, I will be back in two weeks to collect the carving'', he leaned in a little bit and whispered,'' you have a beautiful name, it fits you perfectly my lady'', Laisa lowered her head down even more,'' thank you, your highness''.
And with that he left the shop with a huge grin on his face, leaving Lalisa with tomatoes like cheeks and a very fast-beating heart.
''UHGGGG...STUPID ROYALS'', she could not believe that the prince, who she thought was like every other rich person; so full of themselves, had made her soo flustered.
