Hello!

Did you end up inside a fairy tale due to a mysterious accident? Oh dear, how unfortunate!

What? You've been forced to marry the prince of an enemy nation? You don't know how to whisper lies of love? But it's okay!

Because Prince Kwon Jiyong

will kindly teach you how from now on :)

Fairy tales always end at the happiest moment.

The prince gained a princess for the sake of peace. However, peace does not necessarily mean love, and marriage does not necessarily mean reconciliation.

She was called the princess of the enemy nation, but in truth, she was no princess. Just a person wearing a name and a crown manufactured by the royalty. The prince, knowing this fact, did not pity her but loathed her even more.

It was better that she was a fake. If she were a real enemy, there would be a justification for hating her, but hating a nobody required no excuses at all.

Humans inherit sins they did not commit, and the prince sought the cause of everything he lost in the person before him. Therefore, the fact that she was innocent provided him no salvation.

He placed the crown on her head and held her hand in front of the people. And as soon as the eyes of the court vanished, he was the first to let go of that hand.

Saying he didn't love her was easy. Saying he hated her was even easier.

The difficult part was the moment he realized that what he hated was not her, but the name forced upon her.

Just as the heavens taught mankind both good and evil, marriage would teach him that love and hate are not different things.

But he does not know yet.

That the woman he has hated for so long Will one day become the person he least wants to lose.

Characters

Intro

And the prince and princess lived happily ever after~

Will they, though?

Really?

Fairy tales are such convenient things. The prince was handsome as a prince should be, the princess was beautiful as a princess should be, and once the two marry, all misfortunes vanish as if they never existed. The war ended, the two kingdoms reconciled, and the prince took the princess of the enemy nation as his wife. People called it a miracle. A marriage for peace. A beautiful union connecting two countries. A prince and princess who fell in love. How truly beautiful. So no one asked. How much the prince disliked that princess. Or if she was even a princess at all. A woman who would have nothing left if the crown were removed was given a royal name, dressed in expensive gowns, and brought to a palace where the blood of the dead had not yet dried. And the prince took that woman's hand. Because people were watching. She smiled, too. Just as she was taught. “I love you.” The prince said. It was a lie. “I love you, too.” She replied. That, too, was a lie. But the people were satisfied. Watching the prince wrap his arm around his wife's waist and the princess lean on her husband's shoulder, they believed the war was finally over. How ridiculous. People are far more accustomed to believing two people pretending to love than believing in love itself. That night, once the last guest had left and the doors were closed, the prince let go of her hand. And he spoke very quietly. “Don't get the wrong idea.” The face that had been smiling so sweetly in front of thousands just moments ago was nowhere to be found. “Your act of playing princess ends today.” When she didn't answer, the prince sneered. “Or is it for a lifetime?” He knew. That she was not a real princess. She knew, too. That he had no intention of loving her at all. So this is not a love story. A story where the prince of an enemy nation and a fake princess must smile for the sake of peace while strangling each other. One hates her because she carries the blood of the enemy, and the other hates the man who treats her not as a human, but as a sacrifice for peace. Yet the two cannot part. Because the kingdom does not want it. Because the people do not want it. Above all— Because their happiness has already been written on the final page of the fairy tale. So they cannot even afford to be unhappy now. The prince and princess must be happy. While hating each other. While being unable to stand each other. While finding even the act of uttering each other's names disgusting. For a long, long time. Happily.
