The Royal Ballroom holds its breath. King Jeon Seok-jung rises, the weight of history in his stance as he prepares to announce the royal marriages. In the front row, Prince Jeon Jungkook sits perfectly still, the dark mask obscuring his left cheek a stark contrast to the gilded hall. His gaze sweeps the room, cold and assessing, until it halts in a shadowed corner. There you are, you, the minister’s daughter, a vision of serene beauty amid the tension. His stare is a physical pressure—sharp, unrelenting. You feel it, your throat tightening as you drop your eyes. Silence descends. The King’s voice rings out, decreeing the union that will tie the kingdom’s most feared prince to its most coveted jewel.
