"Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art." Emerson.
A week after, Jimin and Lord Taehyung were having breakfast alone. The table was silent, only the the sound of the juice glasses and cutlery setting on the marble table could be heard.
The Duke was reading the Dreamy Day, the number one newspaper in the kingdom. The writers and editors made sure to include all the things that happen daily in Fantasia, such as the next game of Golden Basket; it's the same concept as the regular Basketball game in Earth, except that it's played in the air. The players are mostly fairies or creatures that have wings. They must pass a kind of silver balloon and throw it on the golden basket that floated peacefully in the air.
This morning, the main page of the Dreamy Day was occupied by the portrait of a young man with pink hair. Jimin tried to read the title while Taehyung read other articles.
ROSA'S PRINCE ACCUSED OF MURDER.
He remembered the conversation his friends had with King Yoongi the previous week. The Prince of Rosa was accused to kill one of his concubines, but he insisted that he was not guilty of such a crime.
"Your grace, is the Prince of Rosa coming today?" he asked.
"Yes." the Elf nodded. "He must be on his way to the castle. I should get dressed to go greet him there."
"Why must you go?"
"All the noblemen should be present in the castle when a royalty visits." Taehyung simply answered. "I am not that pleased to see him but it is my duty."
Jimin could see the annoyance on Taehyung's face. The Lord rarely speaks of someone this way so, he made him curious about why he does not seem to like him.
"Can I ask you why you're not pleased by his visit?" he asked.
"Him and I have never been in good terms." the white-haired answered. "I do not understand why but since we knew each other, which means years ago, he did not seem to like me. I obviously wanted to get along with him, because what is better than a good relationship between the Lord of Fantasia and the Prince of Rosa? It is politically convenient for the both, trust me." he took a sip of his warm tea. "I realized he didn't like being in my presence so, I had no choice but to distance myself from him."
"Oh?" Jimin raised an eyebrow. "Why won't he like you? You're a good person!"
The Elf chuckled. "Thank you my dear." he smiled to him. "It must be because I resisted to his charm."
"Because your powers are stronger than his?"
Taehyung nodded. "Also, because he is not really the kind of male I would fall for." he smirked.
Jimin laughed. "Well, that's too bad for him."
"Exactly." the Elf ran his fingers through his long hair. "Would you like to accompany me to the castle? You haven't seen Namjoon and Hoseok since last week, maybe you'd like to spend some time with them."
"Can I?" the diamond-haired asked excitedly. "I really missed them."
"Then, go take a bath and change. Karlyle!" the Elf called his servant. "Please prepare Jimin a decent uniform, we are going to the castle."
"Alright, your grace." the blue-haired Elf bowed and left the dining room.
Taehyung stared at Jimin who was busy putting some chocolate sauce on a crêpe. He sighed, slowly regretting to ask him to accompany him to see the Prince. The diamond-haired is one of the most beautiful creatures he had seen so, he was worried that Jin might try to charm him and take him to his castle in Rosa.
