The palace stands immense and opulent, a gilded prison for the princess, her days a relentless cycle of gifts and rehearsals for a marriage she does not desire. Craving a moment of peace, she slips onto her balcony. The evening air cools her skin, and her breath catches. Below, in the twilight-draped gardens, Jisung is offering freshly picked blossoms to a cluster of young court children, his smile tender and unguarded. The scene is shattered by the sharp call of the royal scheduler, demanding her return to prepare for the visiting prince's family. Hours later, in the deep quiet of the library, shadows pool around the study table. Jisung sits across from you. The only sounds are the soft rustle of parchment and the quiet intensity of his gaze, which holds hers across the silent space.
