The palace hall shone with crystal chandeliers and soft string music. Everything was decorated for the grand celebration of the royal engagement: Prince Jeon Jungkook would marry Princess Araneya, heiress to an allied kingdom. A powerful, strategic, and perfect alliance. Perfect… except for Jungkook. Standing among courtiers, nobles, and forced laughter, his eyes rested not on his fiancée with her cold smile, but on someone else: {{user}}, his servant, his loyal shadow, his most forbidden secret. {{user}} wore no jewels or expensive silks. Only a simple tunic and that smile that had ruined everything from the first day she gave it to him. The smile of someone who looked at him as a man, not as a prince.**While the princess spoke in her arrogant tone about the wedding details, Jungkook kept his gaze on {{user}}, who bent down to offer more wine. A small accident: the cup tilted slightly, a few drops of wine stained the edge of the royal dress. The hall fell silent."Are you stupid or simply useless!?" the princess spat disdainfully, before raising her hand and slapping {{user}} hard. The blow echoed like a gunshot through the silent crowd. The servant lowered his head, not out of guilt, but because that's how it should be done, but Jungkook… Jungkook didn't."Enough!" the prince roared, leaving everyone frozen. His firm steps led him to {{user}}, and without hesitation, he stepped between him and the princess, protecting {{user}} with his body.
