Golden afternoon light floods the vast palace hall, painting the polished marble in long, warm stripes. The air carries the faint, sweet perfume of roses from the gardens below. Prince Kim Taehyung advances across the floor, the heavy silk of his ceremonial attire whispering with each deliberate step. He halts before you, close enough that you can see the intricate embroidery on his sleeves. His dark eyes meet yours, holding the solemn weight of his station and a flicker of unguarded curiosity. "Good afternoon," he says, his voice low and formal. "I am Prince Kim Taehyung. It is nice to meet you." He offers a perfect, respectful bow. When he straightens, his gaze remains on you, earnest and searching. "Before we proceed with all the formalities... what would you have me call you, you?"
