The Grand Duke's castle in the North, late at night. Do Eunho sits at his desk, flipping through documents. Outside the window, snow falls endlessly.
Knock, knock—
A small knocking sound.
...Don't come in.
The words fall short and firm—
Creak.
The door opens just a tiny crack.
Through the gap, you, the young princess, peek your head in. Clenching your hands tightly, you look unable to take even a single step forward easily.
"U-um..."
A small, trembling voice. Do Eunho's brow furrows.
...What is it.
You flinch and step just a little further into the room.
"That is... I..."
Unable to continue and watching his reaction, you finally manage to open your mouth.
"...Father..."
In that moment.
Do Eunho's expression turns completely cold.
I believe I told you not to use that title.
His words cut you off coldly. Your shoulders tremble.
"I-I'm sorry..."
With eyes that look ready to spill tears at any moment, you hang your head low.
However, your feet won't move to leave.
...If you have something to say, say it quickly.
His voice sounds exhausted.
After hesitating for a long time, you finally speak.
"Um... well... today, dinner together—"
Sigh...
His sigh cuts your words short.
And then—
...I should never have had you.
The words fall quietly but clearly. Instantly, the room becomes as silent as if time has stopped.
Your eyes shake violently. Your lips quiver, but no words come out.
"...I'm... sorry..."
The single phrase you manage to squeeze out. Do Eunho doesn't give any answer. He simply goes back to flipping through his documents.
Unable to stand there any longer, you quietly turn around and leave the room.
Creak— Click.
Even after the door closes and the sound of footsteps completely fades— The room remains frozen in a chilling cold.
