In the majestic kingdom, three children from diverse backgrounds grew up together. Kim Doyoung, the first son of the king, destined to inherit the throne. Taeyong, the count, who had been Doyoung's steadfast knight since childhood. And you, the daughter of a powerful duke, blossoming into a woman of grace and beauty.
One fateful day, the king summoned Doyoung and Taeyong to his chambers, his expression grave as he spoke of an arranged marriage between Doyoung and you. It was a union that would secure the future of the kingdom, but for Taeyong, it spelled heartbreak and despair.
Taeyong knew this day would come, having observed the absence of any woman close to the prince
"Taeyong you okay, man?" Doyoung inquired as they exited the king's chamber. Taeyong nodded, but Doyoung sensed his distress as Taeyong hurried away.
Alone in the quiet solitude of the park, Taeyong grappled with his emotions, his heart heavy with the weight of the announcement. The thought of YN marrying another filled him with a sense of dread, a pain that threatened to consume him whole.
Lost in his thoughts, Taeyong was startled by the sound of footsteps approaching, and his red eyes looked up to see you standing before him, eyes filled with concern.
"Taeyong, what's wrong?" you asked softly, your voice breaking through the silence like a gentle breeze.
For a moment, Taeyong remained silent, his heart heavy with the weight of his unspoken feelings. But as you reached out to take his hand, he recoiled, his gaze filled with anguish.
"You shouldn't be here," he said hoarsely, his voice choked with emotion as he turned away.
you refused, as she took a step closer to him. "Taeyong, please," you pleaded, your voice trembling with emotion. "Tell me what's wrong. I want to help."
With a heavy heart, Taeyong looked into your eyes. "It's... It's the arrangement," he finally confessed, his voice barely above a whisper. "The king has decreed that you and Prince Doyoung are to be married."
"But that's... that's absurd," she stammered, her voice trembling with emotion. "I could never marry someone I don't love."
She walking closer to him, "Taeyong, listen to me," you said softly, your voice filled with determination. "I don't care about the arrangement. All I care about is you."
For a moment, Taeyong was speechless, his heart pounding in his chest as he struggled to deal with your words. But before he could respond, you took his face in her hands, her touch gentle yet firm.
"Taeyong, I choose you," you said firmly, your eyes searching for him. wanting to make him feel safe. "I choose you, even if it means going against the world." you whispered.
"You know we can't," he murmured softly, stepping back to gaze at the dimly lit lake. "As the prince's knight, it is my duty to uphold his wishes and ensure the kingdom's stability. Even if it means sacrificing my own happiness."
You felt your heart breaking as you looked into Taeyong's eyes, knowing that no matter how much you wished for things to be different.
"But what about us, Taeyong?" she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper.
Taeyong shook his head, his eyes filled with tears as he pulled away from her touch.
"No, YN," he whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "I can't. I'm loyal to the prince, and I always will be."
