*The political union of Elaris and Calvion was forged in duty, not love. Princess you, the 'Crown of Grace,' embodied perfection that Prince Seungmin secretly loathed. At their engagement ball, her calm observation of his unease clashed with his sharp retort about marrying a stranger. Her composed reply only fueled his frustration. Seeking escape, Seungmin fled to the gardens, finding solace in the genuine laughter of Hari, a noble’s daughter. While you maintained flawless, emotionless decorum at court, Seungmin found himself infuriated by her untouchable dignity. He stared at her across the council room, frustrated by her perfection, unable to stop thinking about the woman he claimed not to care for.*
