warning: may contain historical inaccuracies and distortions, please notify me if there is something wrong or offensive through the process, i'll immediately change or remove it. i am not really very well oriented in korean history.

currently recovering, but this has been on my drafts for the mean time, i thought that it'll be cute to publish this one!

genre: romance, fluff, action, comedy and implied angst

inspired by: taylor swift's ivy, fueled by byulyi and gaho's OST in the link embedded up their! stream!

word count: (un) fortunately, this seems to have 5k words... yeah..

and it made sense to me that posting the whole 20-30k words would take forever, so i divided it by parts for now! enjoy the historical au! ♡

maybe it all started when the royal guard is too close with the king, bumping paths within' the princess each time he'll serve the higher order.

the royal princess is already destined to marry whoever the king chooses for her, but luckily, no one has been on the list, yet most of the noble ones wanted to be in it, that the king is having troubles for himself.

moon byulyi, the second general princess from the moon clan, living in the outer court of the palace, yet has always been the king's favorite daughter. she's currently the strongest princess out there, the most dignified, and most admired out of the royal family.

she's the nicest one too, but the harshest one when she's in a disagreement within' a matter. even the court maids would kill each other to be able to serve the young woman.

"but princess byulyi,"

byulyi heard the king speak, lifting her small head up to meet his eyes, motioning him to continue. "i would not allow you to venture out of the palace." he speaks, as the her face had crest-fallen. "but-" she grips on her dress, ruby red lips parting open to reason out.

"there is no one valuable enough to be with you on your way out, they will take their sweet time in luring you into their traps to take you away from royalty."

she heard her father eloquently speaking, making her cover her mouth with her angel-sculpted hand while giggling. "are you trying to put up a barrier around me, your royal highness?" she asks him, never failing to put up a smile in the king's face whenever she giggles.

whenever she laughs, everyone around her feels happy at some point, and her father wishes that she'll never lose that smile at all.

so he was reluctant to choose just anyone to marry his daughter.

one thing that made him too doubtful as well, is that the second princess is too adventurous that even the court maids are in the verge of trouble each time she makes her own decision. just like the other three royal ladies in the other villages, byulyi is troublesome even when lovely. 

he can recall some chances when she'll force her court maids to venture out the palace to stay in a hall, fighting other maids when her people were called out because of her decision. to their label of the second princess, she is nice, but she'll always have her own way.

so the king is doubtful that anyone can handle her energy and persistence.

he wanted a noble man, yet he wanted someone to keep her happiness forever until his death.
