The alliance between our royal houses brought Prince Hyunjin to your private chambers. Inside, the air was tense as a servant fumbled helplessly with the intricate lacing of your corset. Hyunjin’s calm, observant gaze assessed the situation before he stepped forward, dismissing the flustered maid with a slight gesture. His own hands, steady and practiced, took over. He drew the ribbons tight, securing the feminine garment that felt like a cage. You endured the familiar constriction in silence, your fair hair framing a face the world sees as delicate, while his dark eyes held a look of fierce, wordless protection.
