"Tae..." I growled as I stared at the wet leather of my seat. "Why is my seat wet?" I made direct eye contact with a blushing Taehyung.

He gave an awkward smile. "Tannie has been having issues with.... peeing."

I took in a deep breath. "Hoseok and I have the Counsel in ten minutes. Can you please clean up your dog's piss?"

He nodded, setting his dog down to clean up my chair. As he did so, Yeontan waddled around, sitting right in front of my feet. I sighed and bent down to pet him. "You're lucky you're cute, Tan."

When Yeontan got up to wander around some more, I stared at the giant puddle, slowly drifting towards my feet.

"Taehyung, you need to control your dog."

Jungkook cleared his throat as he entered the room. "Sorry about Tannie. We have a training appointment for him next week, I promise."

Taehyung cleaned up the puddle in front of my feet, giving a shy smile. "He just wanted to show you his love for you by peeing on your chair!"

"I-How-What?"

Taehyung sighed. "It was a love pee!"

I pressed a thumb against the spot between my eyebrows. "Okay, let's say that's true, what was him almost peeing on my feet for?"

Without even taking a second to think, Taehyung responded giddily. "An apology pee! He felt bad you were upset and wanted to make it up to you by peeing!"

All I could do was shake my head as I saw Hoseok walk in. He gave me a wide smile and kissed my lips.

"How do you feel for your first counsel?" He asked softly, hand on my chest.

I shrugged. "It's just letting people talk to us about any problems they're having, either at home, or in the town itself, etc. It seems easy enough."

Hoseok chuckled with a wink before sitting down in his chair with a sigh. "We shall see, my love."

••••••

"Well, you see, this bitch stole my chicken and ate it for dinner!" One townsperson whined, glaring at a lady next to her.

Hoseok sighed, rubbing his temples. "Okay. Let's here the other side of the story."

The accused shrugged. "Chickens are meant to be eaten. That chicken was malnourished anyway. I did that bitch a favor."

I sat up in my chair and cleared my throat. "And what did you plan on doing with the chicken?"

The owner swallowed. "I mean... I don't know. I just had a chicken hanging around my house."

Now it was my turn to sigh. This shit had been going on for four hours, and it was all the same stupid complaints.

I stood up, walking towards the two women. I looked at the one being accused of the crime. "You got to eat the chicken as your meal. You're free to go." I then faced the chicken's owner, reaching into my pocket, handing them some money. "Go buy food with the money it will cost to buy some chicken breast from the market. And next time, maybe just pay for the meat instead of harboring a chicken."

She huffed and exited the room.

Jungkook jumped up once the doors were shut. "We're done! That was the last complaint."

I sighed loudly, watching Taehyung leap up out of his post by the door.

"That was so badass, Gi! You just shut them both down, while staying respectful. So cool!"

I chuckled, nodding my head, turning to face Hoseok, whom was walking towards me.

"How often do these damn counsels occur?" I whined, holding back a yawn.

He checked his watch and yawned also. "Once every three months. They're normally not this... boring."

I snickered, about to respond when I heard the pitter patter of footsteps coming down the corridor leading to the counseling room.

"Aww, hey Mickey!" Hobi squeaked, running to the small dog and scooping him up.

"What about Holly? Don't forget her!" I whined, picking up the other dog and putting her snout close to Hoseok's cheek so she could lick it.

He giggled. "I was getting to Holly, don't worry babe. I would never pick one child over the other."

I hummed in disagreement as I set Holly back down, watching as she ran towards Yeontan. The two barked at each other playfully, Taehyung chasing them down the hall.

I couldn't help but laugh as I pecked Hoseok's cheek. "This castle definitely is not going to be quiet and boring anymore with three small dogs running the place."

He shrugged, setting Mickey down with a pat on the head. "Would you want it any other way?"

I laced our fingers together as we wandered down the hallway towards our quarters.

"Never in a million years."
