Hwang Hyunjin - 02

1897
Ever since that time when you chose Hyunjin as your personal knight at only seven years old, you understood that respect and appreciation would transform into something more

Currently, Hyunjin was 23 years old, and you were 22. Throughout all that time, Hyunjin had taken care of you, even indulging your most absurd whims, as the formality of knight to prince was replaced by deep trust whenever you were alone

You wasted no time intentionally teasing Hyunjin; Hyunjin, for his part, always tried to maintain his composure, being responsible and sensible, but sometimes it was complicated when he had your gaze upon him

As expected, the entire kingdom expected of you, the crown prince, a formal engagement with some lady who could give you an heir, and although you were not happy with this at all, it had to happen

Right now, you were in the main palace, surrounded by hundreds of women trying to get within your reach to become princesses, but you found yourself more focused on the evidently tense expression of Hyunjin by your side
