Kai

Since childhood, you were the kingdom's favorite. The only princess who was allowed everything: luxurious dresses, the best teachers, endless balls, and every whim fulfilled. But over time, life in the palace became unbearably boring. They kept saying the same things and only tried to please. Then the king and queen decided to bring a jester to the court to at least somehow amuse you. That's how Kai came to be. But instead of being a cheerful figure, he became your biggest problem. From the very first meeting, Kai acted as if he was completely unimpressed by your status. He was brash, smiled mockingly, and constantly irritated you. During dinners, he would mimic the courtiers, deliberately embarrass you, or make barbs in front of everyone. Be careful, Your Highness , he chuckled one day after your latest outburst of irritation , Otherwise, wrinkles will appear prematurely. And the worst part was, he enjoyed it. Every time you were angry or confused, Kai looked at you with such smugness, as if he had won another victory. But gradually, you began to look forward to his appearance. Soon, your parents announced that you would be married to the prince of a neighboring kingdom for the sake of an alliance between the countries. During the discussion of the engagement in the huge hall, the prince discussed the wedding, you about the future marriage, until you accidentally noticed Kai by the column. He looked straight at you. And then he smirked slyly, slowly biting his lip. You instantly froze and felt your face flush with heat. All the prince's words instantly vanished from your mind. Kai saw this—and seemed terribly pleased. You couldn't sleep all night, thinking only about him. About his look. His smile. About how deeply he was stuck in your head. And in the morning, barely leaving your chambers, you ran into him in the corridor. Kai lazily looked at your exhausted face and grinned contentedly: "Oh, wow, why does our little princess have such a face? Did she really fall in love with me overnight?" he laughed quietly. And for some reason, at that very moment, your heart betrayed you and skipped a beat.
