Everyone walked out off the privet office, in couples they walked to the royal church where the ceremonies were going to take place the queen was walking beside her son too, a soft smile on his face seeing her son happy now with his lover and with her, she could not ask for more

Walking into the church everyone took place, the first row of course while changmin stayed behind in a small chamber behind the church to get ready for the whole thing; he wore a long red cloak with the white four edges and the golden brooch in its middle to hold it together.

When the bells began to jingle making the sweetest melody ever the doors to the church opened both ways and the priest came in walking on the red carpet, as he stood in his place the announcers blew their horns everyone stood up, changmin walked into the church a serious expression on his face as he walked till he reached the alter, there in the middle was a golden throne chair and changmin stood right in front of it, the priest started the ceremonies and half an hour later changmin sat down on the golden throne chair as the rightful king of the kingdom, the golden crown on his head and a talisman in his right hand and a royal sword in his left, everyone bowed his head to the new king but Changmin's eyes traveled to Yoochun at once wanting to make sure he is not mad at him but he saw him smile softly which made him relax as he trailed his eyes to look as his smiling lover. Kibum looked amazing in the blue gown he was wearing tonight, pretty enough to drive changmin crazy

As the ceremonies ended and the ball was about to begin Yoochun showed up holding a small package in his hands and wearing his traveling cloak

'Chunie~ where…?'frowned Junsu rushing to his lover

'I must go home love, something urgent happened and I must take care if it plus I took that with me and I will do it' promised Yoochun looking at Junsu

'But chunie~' whined Junsu

'I must go; I will be meeting an important spy in Heechul's army who have some information for me, I can't abandon him, what if something happens to him after he place his life in danger for me? For the kingdom?' argued Yoochun and no one spoke, they knew he had a point

'But~' again Junsu did not want him to go

'I will be back in a few days princess' assured Yoochun kissing Junsu's lips softly, well no one strange was in the chamber

Pulling away Yoochun kissed his mother's forehead before he bowed to his king and walked out, Junsu fell on the couch sobbing and everyone went to calm him down

'Sshh… he will be back soon baby' assured yunho

'He will be fine' nodded changmin

'He is capable of defending himself' added TOP

'Yoochun hyung will come back soon, he can't stay away from you for long' smiled kibum

'Just wait for him princess he will be back really soon' jaejoong hugged Junsu softly

'You must be strong son' the queen fighting her own tears hugged Junsu too bringing him to cry in her lap

'But chunie~' sniffed Junsu

'Will be back soon, safe' she assured in the mother like tone and Junsu just nodded like a good little boy hearing his mother's assuring tone telling him everything will be fine

'Let's go to the ball now' smiled changmin and everyone nodded, wiping their tears away everyone stood up. Now that neither Junsu nor the queen had anyone to walk or dance with they joined each other, the queen went on telling Junsu about the few years Yoochun spent with her before the king took him away and stories about his mother, lady boa, she even told him that she have a painting of her in her chamber, something Junsu could not wait to see that eventually the queen and Junsu left the ball an hour after it started and sneaked to the queen's chamber to see lady boa's painting and carry on with their chat, both sat on the big comfy bed and talked, the queen did most of the talking while Junsu was hugging his mother's painting dearly and listening carefully and soon they both feel asleep on the bed

♚At the ball♚

Two hours passed already, no one even noticed Junsu and the queen missing as they all were dancing and chatting happily, at ten p.m. sharp changmin stopped dancing, the music stopped too and everyone froze, broke apart facing the new king as whispers broke everywhere

Changmin raised his hand and everyone became mute at once as changmin walked to kibum and pulled him closer

'Today I swore to rule and protect this kingdom as its rightful king…'

Everyone looked at him now, kibum's heart was racing

'Every king needs a queen to love and to rule with him, to help him around'

Kibum began to sweat now

'And today I announce this…'

Kibum felt like dying already, why must changmin torture him like this? Why can't he say it in one go?

'I had chosen my bride to be… the one to rule with me forever, the one whom my heart belongs to…'

Kibum felt like killing changmin already, his knees were so weak he could fall down any second

'This… is my bride to be, kibum, my queen, my lover, my everything, no one is allowed to touch or annoy him, he is mine' grinned changmin kissing kibum's lips softly and the blushing kibum just kissed back turning darker than the wine in the goblets

Claps and cheers broke everywhere as changmin went down on one knee and slipped a golden ring with a big diamond on it into kibum's finger, he kissed kibum's palm too before he stood up again and the music went on again, the orchestra began to play again and changmin bowed to kibum who held his gown and bowed a little to his new fiancée and together they started to dance so close to each other that their lips almost touched

'Happy love?' whispered changmin

'Very' whispered a shy kibum looking at his lover and smiling softly not daring to keep an eye contact for more than two seconds

'Well from now on, I will make sure to keep you happy, always'

'I will keep you happy too'

'Promise?' grinned changmin naughtily

Wide eyes kibum could not left his head as he faced the ground and pouted cutely

'I love you my pretty boy'

'I love you my king' smiled kibum back

'Yunie~ they are so lovely' smiled jaejoong while dancing with his king

'That they are' agreed yunho

'Bummie~ is happy' smiled jaejoong finally relieved about his younger brother

'So… now you will come with me without worrying about your baby brother?'

'Now I will go with you to the end of the world'

'Thank you my love' yunho kissed jaejoong's palm

'Now just the princess needs his happy ever after' pouted jaejoong

'Su… he sure does' frowned yunho looking around:' speaking of which where is he? Both him and the queen are missing'

Looking around yunho got worried, he and jaejoong sneaked out of the ball hall and to the chambers but going to Junsu's chamber they found no one so they tried Yoochun's thinking he might have went there to sleep in his lover's bed but wrong again no one was there

'Maybe the queen's chamber?' tried jaejoong and so they went to it and knocked the door, getting no answer they opened the door and walked in, both Junsu and the queen were sleeping on the bed with a painting between them

'It's lady boa, Junsu's mother' whispered yunho looking at the lady in the painting

'She is pretty' smiled jaejoong

'She was a nice lady too, I only saw her twice or three times but she always had this gentle look and soft smile, the kind that made everything feel alright'

Smiling softly jaejoong helped yunho cover the two sleeping bodies before they walked back to the ball which ended with midnight…

The upcoming days were not so good for Junsu, he barely spoke and was always sad sitting silently by himself hugging Yoochun's other cloak, he waited and waited for some news of his lover but never got any and it had already been a week, he was worried now

'Su…' yunho tried to hand Junsu some cake as they sat in the garden that afternoon, it was exactly ten days now and Junsu looked like he lost some weight, he was pale and sad too

'He is late~' again the same words, always the same words waiting for his lover to come back to him

'He will be back soon' assured yunho again but as time passed he himself began to grow worried about Yoochun and could not help wonder if anything happened to him

Just then everyone heard the sound of a horse running their way so all heads went up wanting to see who is the new comer…
