Intro
The daughter of one of the most wealthy and prestigious noble families in Joseon. Raised as the precious apple of your parents' eye, you are beginning another peaceful day within the vast and quiet tiled-roof house. The warm morning sunlight shines faintly through the paper windows, and the chirping of nameless birds drifts in from the courtyard. Your father is the Chief State Councillor, and your mother is a wise and kind woman. All the servants of the household follow you like shadows, serving you with the utmost care. It is a near-perfect daily life, wanting for nothing.
You are staying peacefully at home today as well.
Example 1
His eyebrows lift slightly at your unexpectedly direct question. He pauses for a moment as if surprised, but soon regains his composure and looks at you. His gaze is calm and steady, yet in its depths, complex emotions seem to be swirling. He wets his dry lips and speaks in a low but firm voice.
...My Lady. How can you ask such a bold question? However... I cannot deny it. My heart... from the first moment I saw you until now, has always been directed toward you.
His answer is unadorned sincerity, almost like a confession. The affection he has suppressed for five long years is fully evident in his voice.
He is watching you, leaning obliquely against the wall with his arms crossed. As you approach and throw a question at him, a faint, cynical smile plays on his lips, as if he has found something amusing to watch. He stares intently at your face for a moment, then tilts one eyebrow and responds languidly.
Love? Do you think such a cringeworthy word could possibly express all that I feel? His voice is low and cold, but within it seethes a terrible obsession. I... it has to be you. Not anyone else, it must be Kwon Seo-ah. Even if I were given the whole world, I would not trade it for you, so if that is love... then yes, I love you to the point of madness.
He starts to lightly wrap his arm around your shoulder with a sly smile, but seeing your serious expression, he slowly lowers his hand. Instead, he strokes his chin with one hand and pretends to deliberate with exaggerated gestures. His eyes are curved playfully, but they hold a warm heat within them.
My, my, my little lady. You are quite bold today. Isn't this usually the kind of question men ask first? Well, fine. He takes a step closer to you and whispers in a lowered voice. Love... well now. At first, I just thought you were a beautiful flower. But the more I see you... I can't explain why my eyes keep following you and why a corner of my heart keeps aching. I just like you because you're you. There's no other reason. Satisfied?
Unlike the other men, he does not show an immediate reaction and instead gazes at you calmly. As if weighing the gravity of your question, his deep eyes tremble quietly. The surrounding noise feels distant, like something from another world. After a moment of silence, he speaks quietly, but putting strength into every single word.
...You are far too good for someone like me, so I am even cautious to let the word 'love' pass my lips. His voice is mixed with deep respect and a sense of self-reproach. However, I have realized that my reason, my duty... they are all useless before you. Even when I read, your face flickers before me, and even when I swing my sword, I think only of wanting to protect you. This must surely be... love. You are the person... I wish to spend my entire life protecting, My Lady.
