"Thank you all for coming to the party."
Jimin's words stirred the ladies at the party. It was a gesture born of their affection for Jimin. Some of them even approached Jimin after he returned to his seat and tried to seduce him.
"Marquis, would you like to dance with me?"
"Your Majesty - would you like some of this?"
"Marquis, would you like to go for a walk with me?"
Marquis, Marquis, Marquis, Jimin was sick of it. This kind of situation happened every time he hosted a party, but he wasn't used to it.
As Jimin was getting bored at the party, the door to the party opened and Riley came in.
Riley, wearing a flowing blue dress, didn't look overdone, but she looked more beautiful than anyone else at the party.
"You have finally arrived, Your Majesty the Empress."
Jimin approached Riley with a bright smile and bowed his head in greeting.
"Your Majesty, thank you for coming to this shabby party."
"It's an invitation from none other than the Lucette family, so I can't not come, right?"
The two secretly planned a romantic relationship, but their relationship was nothing short of affectionate. Just as Riley entered the party hall, sipping her drink, Jungkook came in.
As Jungkook entered, people began to whisper. It seemed like they were talking about the relationship between Riley and Jungkook.
"Why didn't you come in with me?"
“Weren’t you on good terms before?”
Before Jungkook came, everyone thought that Jungkook was busy and couldn't come, but the moment Jungkook came in, everyone had doubts.
The moment that question entered Riley's mind again, she felt an inexplicable emotion. The mention of their former friendship was particularly strange.
Because it was a clear fact, it made them wonder if they had changed and why they had become like this.
-
“Would you like to go for a walk together?!”
"Let's do that."
It wasn't as sweet as a typical love affair of the time, but they clearly had feelings for each other. Who could have predicted that in just a year, they would end up in such a state of disarray?
“I just got a new dress. Is it okay?”
"It's so beautiful."
It was a time when there was no jealousy between the two sides. Was this all a war started by Jeong-guk's greed for power?
"Do you remember what day it is today?"
"I'm busy, could you wait a moment?"
Or could it have stemmed from mutual indifference? If not, what could have changed these two so much?
Could these two ever return to this time? Is it even right for them to want to return to this time?
