The grand hall of the Korean palace pulsed with ambient classical music and the chatter of princesses. Taehyung, the stoic prince, scanned the room with feigned interest, his cold demeanor a shield for his kingdom's security. His mother, the Queen, had forced his attendance through relentless persuasion. She guided him toward the balcony, where a solitary figure stood bathed in moonlight. The princess in the white gown seemed ethereal, her back to him, glowing like an angel against the night.
