TW: Seizures

Jeongyeon wiped the soot off her hands on her apron, watching the large kettle which sat upon the wood-fire stove come to a boil. Evening time allowed for most of the maids in the palace to sit down for a cup of tea before retiring to bed. Eunchae swept the floor of the kitchen as Haein set the cups out for Jeongyeon to pour out the tea.

“Minji told me you needed an iodine tincture this morning,” Jeongyeon began, eyeing Haein’s fingers wrapped in brown stained cloth. The latter frowned, pursing her lips as she looked at the chip in the cup.

“Lady Soojung wished for some alterations to her gown,” she replied, setting the cup down with a sigh.

“Oh? But how bad could it have been that you hurt yourself?” Eunchae asked, puzzled.

“I had to change the ribbing near the chest so the neck-line of the lady’s gown would drop further. It was under short notice.” Haein grumbled, “the lady said she wished to have an audience with his majesty.”

Eunchae grimaced. This had become increasingly common ever since rumours about the Queen and King had spread across the palace. The new queen had turned down the King’s advances and now the ladies in the court were vying for his attention, hoping they could win his favour.

“I heard that you had to cut a slit in Lady Bom’s gown as well?” Jeongyeon nodded at Eunchae who shrugged.

“The lady called me to sit up the whole night and alter her gown just enough to stay ‘elegant’” she replied, drawing a line up to her thigh as Jeongyeon chuckled.

“And how effective was her elegance on his majesty?”

“I believe he simply turned to Lord Minseok and Yixing to speak of ‘very pressing matters’.” Eunchae replied, setting aside the broom and dustpan before undoing her apron.

“Did Jaehyun tell you this?” Haein asked, now intrigued by this news.

“Both Jaehyun and Taeyong corroborated this, yes.” Eunchae nodded before coughing at the smoke escaping the stove “get the kettle off the heat Jeongyeon.”

The door flew open and the head housekeeper Chaerin came hurrying into the kitchen before breathlessly gasping “the Queen is coming to the servants quarters! Tidy up tidy up soon!”

Jeongyeon frowned as she lifted the heavy iron kettle from the stove before setting it on the scrubbed wooden table. Eunchae tied her apron back on and sighed as Haein dusted herself off, standing with her hands behind her back. They frowned at each other as Chaerin paced around, wringing her hands in worry. No Queen had ever set foot in the servants quarters.

“Did any of you do anything to offend the Queen?”

“Not that we are aware of, Ma’am,” Haein shook her head before looking at Jeongyeon who shrugged as well. The queen usually didn’t summon them frequently and had treated them kindly if she ever did. A knock on the door had them starting. Chaerin rushed to greet Minah with a deep bow.

“I hope I am not disturbing you all,” Minah began with a smile “I had just come in to deliver some tea from myself and his majesty. Oh hello, Jeongyeon, I hope you are well!” she smiled at the wide-eyed maid who found herself the subject of her colleagues’ stares.

“Let me brew you a pot!” Chaerin declared, receiving the parcel from the queen before hurrying over to the stove.

“Please brew some for everyone as well, I hope it is to your taste,” Minah replied, looking around at the maids “and I hope you do not mind me joining you all. I believe Momo will be arriving with some baked goods to have with your evening tea.”

Haein nudged Jeongyeon who shook her head as Chaerin poked at the fire, coughing. Eunchae noticed the Queen frowning at the action as there was another knock on the door as a young lady walked in with a basket full of cake slices.

“Will the rest of the staff be coming in as well? I’d love to meet all of you if I can.`` The queen took the basket from the young lady and placed it on the table before smiling at the three maids “please help yourselves.”

Jeongyeon and Eunchae reached out into the basket to pick up a slice of cake while Haein hesitated, wondering if her bandaged hands would offend the Queen

“Please, do not feel pressured by my presence,” Minah cajoled as Haein reached for a slice “are your hands alright? Did you get some medical attention for it?”

“I just put some tincture and wrapped it up, your highness,” Haein mumbled in response as Minah nodded.

“I’m glad...Miss?”

“Haein, your highness.”

“Haein, do you all have access to a doctor here?”

“Some of us do…” Haein replied and the Queen nodded.

“I understand…” Eunchae noticed the smile on Momo’s face when she looked at the queen. This was the young girl that the queen had picked up from the street. The door to the kitchen opened and in filed all the staff, ready for their evening tea. On seeing the queen, they froze.

“Oh, hello! Please help yourselves to some cake, Miss Chaerin has been kind enough to brew some tea for us all.” Minah announced to the group who gaped at her.

“Tea! Your highness!” Chaerin chirped, shaking hands setting the cup on the table.

“Thank you, but please have some yourselves, I will wait. I wished to talk to you all for your counsel on a few things.”

-----------------

Taekwoon walked down the long corridor towards the council room. He was to meet Minseok and Joonmyun to make a decision on what was happening in the Yun Province. Yixing was to join them with intelligence from his sources there. He cleared his throat, feeling particularly parched when he took a sharp turn to the left. Taekwoon baulked when he bumped into a young lady, perhaps a new introduction to the court, she bowed deeply.

“I’m sorry, your majesty,” she said, straightening up and Taekwoon looked down at her from his height. The neck of her gown dropped with her movements, giving him a glimpse of pale rounded flesh. He quickly averted his eyes. “I’m Soojung, always at your service,” she added, with a smile.

“Then you can step aside, young lady,” he commanded, as she gathered her robes shifting away, and bowing deeply as he stepped past her with a frown. This was happening increasingly with the ladies of the court approaching him and offering their services to him. Just the day before, Lady Bom had approached him most inappropriately. Covering the rest of the distance, he threw the door to the council room open.

“Your majesty!” Junmyeon greeted the king as he entered, massaging his temples. Minseok stood up as well, arranging a sheaf of papers in front of him.

“Pour me a glass of wine, this palace is getting increasingly strange.”

Minseok hurried over to pour out a glass of wine for the king and handing it over to Taekwoon who took a deep sip, feeling it quench his thirst momentarily.

“There’s a document missing, do excuse me as I go and get it from my study.” Minseok excused himself, leaving the council room.

“What happened, your majesty, you seemed rather frazzled?” Joonmyun asked as Taekwoon felt how rapidly his heart was beating. He frowned.

“There was a young lady...Soojung.”

“Ah, so the ladies have heard it too.” Junmyeon sighed thoughtfully.

“Heard?” the frown on Taekwoon’s forehead deepened as he took another sip from his glass.

“About what happened between you and the Queen,” Junmyeon said rather matter of factly before dipping his voice “rather, how the Queen denied you.”

“What on Earth?!” Taekwoon’s temper flared “has this been the preoccupation of our court?!”

“Well, the walls have ears, your majesty...there are rumours about how the Queen is rather close to the King of the West, you saw so yourself at the wedding…”

“What does that have to do with anything?!” Taekwoon glared, feeling particularly defensive.

“Your majesty, these are simple rumours. I’m sure they will die out. Otherwise, there have also been rumours that the Queen has been visiting the servants quarters.”

Taekwoon frowned. The happenings in the castle were now getting increasingly suspicious. Even after his talk with Yixing about the security breach, there still seemed to be a presence that was following him.

“The queen has her own ways of interacting with the people,” he said before squinting towards the windows. The door creaked open and Minseok walked in with Yixing.

“Draw the curtains Yixing, it's too bright in here.” the king commented as the advisor reached to the fabric which blocked out the light streaming in through the windows. Taekwoon leaned back, feeling rather exhausted already. The situation was weighing heavily on him and he didn’t know what to do anymore.

Yixing sighed as he set the papers down on the table as Minseok ran his fingers through his hair. They were stumped by how much was going wrong in Yun province and more so how oblivious they had all been to it. No one had raised any alarms, and from what Yixing had found, any voice raised against Lord Kwanghee had been quashed almost immediately.

“Your majesty, this is quite a serious situation. I have started an investigation into Lord Kwanghee’s finances, but they haven’t turned up anything of use.” Minseok began.

“We’ll need to send someone to the province to conduct a physical investigation,” Taekwoon replied, “our own records cannot be trusted given that they have been shared with us by Kwanghee himself.”

“It appears that Lord Yang also has some knowledge about what seems to be happening there, given that he raised the lack of water in court.” Joonmyun hummed thoughtfully.

“No, that will only cause increased tensions,” Yixing replied, “it is best to go ahead with a covert investigation as his highness suggested.”

“Have you narrowed down on a group of people who can lead it?” Minseok raised his eyebrow.

“Actually, the queen has sent in a recommendation…” Yixing looked hesitantly at the small council and the King.

“The Queen is aware of these matters?” Minseok asked, puzzled by the news delivered. It was not traditional for women to participate in political matters in the East. While Minseok was aware that Lady Kim Minah was anything but traditional, he was surprised that the Queen would start doing so even before she was initiated.

“Indeed she is,” Taekwoon replied, “and who has she recommended?”

Yixing’s face hardened. He had been surprised when the Queen had approached him, suggesting that the same lady he had put in charge of educating the Queen of the East’s traditions to head over to the Yun province to conduct an investigation. It had nearly been unheard of. But Queen Minah had insisted that there could be no one better for it given that she had spent weeks studying the region. Even if it made him feel terribly uneasy sending her to an unsafe place, the queen was certain she would be alright. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the small council’s curious faces.

“The Queen has recommended Lady Jang Jiyeon as she believes that the young lady has learned a great deal about the Yun Province and has the right temperament and wisdom to conduct an investigation without being suspected.”

--------

Taekwoon sighed when Minah took his hand in hers. She had arrived in his quarters that evening to spend it with him, but the increased exhaustion was really getting to him. He had spent the afternoon debating with the small council as to whether Lady Jiyeon would truly be a good fit for an investigation, still coming to no consensus at the end of it. Edo, resting his head on his lap dotingly as the king scratched the back of his ear.

“You look very tired, your majesty,” his wife said, squeezing his hand between her palms “I’ve called for some warm milk. Drink it and please rest, hopefully, you can sleep peacefully.”

Taekwoon eyed his queen, she hadn’t said very much about what she was doing wandering around the servants quarters. Neither had she addressed the rumours that had been floating around about her. His gaze shifted to the large portrait of the Queen, now hanging in the sitting room of his quarters. Why was she so close to Cha Hakyeon?

Joonmyun’s words echoed in his head as the milk arrived, carried by a maid who shot the queen a shy smile before setting it down on the table with a deep bow. Minah picked up the glass and handed it to him. The ceramic was warm between his palms when he received it, he could smell that it was sweetened with honey. He took a short sip.

“Edo, do not trouble his majesty for the milk.” Minah chided the now large canine who, Taekwoon noticed had been looking beseechingly at him. He chuckled and nudged the dog.

“None for you young man!”

Minah chuckled at the interaction. As much as she wished to talk to the king about her conversations between the staff and herself. She could understand how he felt hard-pressed by the happenings in Yun Province. She decided to hold off those thoughts for later and lend the king whatever moral support he needed.

Taekwoon drank the milk and set the glass down on the table with another sigh.

“You should retire, I will return to my quarters…” Minah said as the King stood up, swaying, eyes heavy with sleep. A valet came running in to announce that Joonmyun was requesting the king’s audience.

“Please tell him that the king is retiring for the night, but if it is of importance, I could speak to him.”

“He usually comes in for a game of chess,” Taekwoon replied, voice gruff as Minah nodded.

“I will play in your stead. Please, go and get some sleep, your majesty.” she leaned up and pressed her lips to his cheeks, nudging him to his bedchambers “good night.”

“Good night,” the king smiled as Joonmyun entered the sitting room. Edo growled and Minah’s hand went down to grasp at the collar around his neck. Taekwoon shook his head, disapprovingly, “the queen is willing to play a game of chess with you, Joonmyun. I am much too tired to play myself. Edo, come with me, and guard my door against this very dangerous man,” he chuckled, calling to the large puppy, who, with a nudge from the queen followed the king

Joonmyun let out a short laugh and bowed in reply before smiling at the queen.

“Shall we?”

The two sat across one another at the little table with the chess pieces set up. Minah admired how each one of them was crafted, carefully set up on a checkered board of ebony and ivory. She settled down before the black figures as Joonmyun picked up a white pawn.

“White goes first,” he said, placing the ivory piece two squares ahead. Minah picked up her own black pawn and shifted it two squares ahead.

“I hope the capital has treated you well,” Joonmyun shot the queen a warm smile wondering if she was aware of the rumours and whether he should broach the subject at all. Choosing not to hurt her sentiments, he shifted his bishop across. Minah eyed the board carefully before moving another pawn forward.

“Fairly well, thank you,” she replied, “should I call for some tea or wine for you?”

“No, I am quite alright, your highness.” the advisor shook his head, watching the Queen bring her knight into the game. He shifted his bishop, capturing her pawn.

“Swift and decisive,” Minah commented, bringing her Bishop on the board, capturing his pawn. Joonmyun chuckled.

“Not the first time I’ve heard that about myself.” he moved anther pawn to create a safe path for his rook to enter the game. He watched the queen’s bishop capture the same pawn. He captured it with his rook.

“Sometimes, it is important to be decisive. Not swift.” She smiled, bringing the black queen onto the board.

Silence reigned as the two focused on the board, trying to capture as many pieces as they could.

“You use your queen a great deal, your highness.” Joonmyun smiled “but a queen cannot win a battle.” he said, noting how Minah’s Queen had taken down his knight, bishop, rook, and several of his pawns, not without him causing severe damage to her side, though.

“Would you like to know something funny though?” Minah smiled “in the older forms of the game, this piece,” she said, holding her queen up “ was the vizier, a minister and advisor of sorts who evolved to become the queen, the most powerful piece on the chessboard.”

“That’s very fascinating,” Joonmyun commented, watching her capture his second last piece - his own white queen now lay on the table.

“Well played, your majesty, now we run about the board, I suppose.” the advisor laughed as he shifted his king away from her queen.

Minah shifted her queen, three squares away from him.

He moved diagonally.

She followed.

He frowned, moving up.

The queen moved her piece a step up.

He moved diagonally again, now trapped in a corner as the queen moved her piece to follow.

“Knight’s shadow,” Joonmyun whispered, knowing he was playing a losing game “very impressive.”

The lady before him smiled, finally bring her king into the game as Joonmyun’s own white piece floundered around until the queen and the king stood before his own king.

“Checkmate.” Minah declared with a wide grin only to be broken by frantic barks from near the king’s chambers. She stood up to peer at the source of the noise wondering why her dog was barking so loudly “Edo! Edo! What’s wrong? Come here” she called, but the dog never came by her. Frowning, she hurried into the room and Joonmyun stood up, concerned.

“Lord Joonmyun!” a sharp cry caught his attention as he hurried into the king’s chambers to find the queen on the floor with the king’s head on her lap as he seized, spasming in her arms. The dog growled, barking at him as Minah turned to him, shaking and pale “call for help! The king is seizing!”
