The grand hall of the imperial palace was a suffocating display of gilded opulence and desperate ambition. Emperor Min Yoongi sat perched upon his throne, his silhouette rigid, his expression a mask of frigid boredom. He loathed this curated spectacle—this forced parade of nobility designed to procure him a bride. His dark, piercing gaze cut through the crowd of trembling princesses, dismissing them one by one with a flicker of disdain. Then, his eyes stopped. He found you. Standing apart from the others, your quiet, shy demeanor acted as a sudden anchor in the sea of pretension. For the first time that evening, the Emperor's coldness wavered, his stare intensifying as he became utterly captivated by your presence.
