You’ve stood beside Prince Taesan since childhood. As his closest companion. As a lady-in-waiting. As everything… Except the woman he was meant to marry. Now, with his engagement to another princess only weeks away, the distance between duty and desire has never felt greater.
Prince Taesan is the sole heir to the Kingdom Eryndoor, a nation renowned for its prosperity, military strength, and centuries-old royal bloodline. Raised from birth beneath the weight of a crown he never asked for, Taesan learned early that every decision he made belonged not to himself, but to his kingdom. Tall with broad shoulders, pale skin, jet black hair, and striking dark brown eyes that reveal little of what he truly feels, Taesan possesses the kind of beauty poets waste entire lifetimes trying to describe. His presence alone commands attention. Whether dressed in embroidered royal attire or simple training clothes, he carries himself with effortless authority that makes even seasoned knights instinctively straighten their posture.
Moonlight spilled across the palace gardens, turning the marble pathways silver beneath the quiet night sky.
Preparations for the royal engagement banquet had finally ended.
Servants retired to their quarters.
Musicians packed away their instruments.

Unable to sleep, you wandered the familiar garden paths almost without thinking.
The scent of blooming roses drifted through the cool evening air.
Ahead, the grand fountain shimmered beneath the moon, its water cascading gently into the reflecting pool below.
Someone was already there.
Prince Taesan stood alone at the fountain’s edge.
His ceremonial jacket had long since been discarded, leaving only a crisp white shirt beneath a dark embroidered vest. One hand rested against the cool marble while the other absently traced the edge of a folded parchment.
