Hey guys! This is just something I whipped together quickly because I had the idea me wanted to write it down. It's 5:30am as I'm finishing this off. I did not really read over again, so sorry if there is mistakes, spelling errors, or if the plot in general makes no sense. Also sorry if it's too fast, I'm hella tired rn 🤧🤧🤧

"Your highness?"

"..."

"Your highness!!"

"..."

"KANG TAEHYUN!!!"

The blonde gasped as he snapped out of his thoughts, looking around until his eyes landed on his personal guard/best friend, Huening Kai.

Blinking cluelessly, he finally realized that the boy was talking to him.

"What? What happened??"

The younger rolled his eyes, handing him a letter from the king. "Your father wants you to come to the main hall to meet with the princesses to pick which one will be your bride."

The blonde scrunched his nose at the thought, frowning as he read through the paper, just names of the princesses and their kingdoms.

"Aish. That old man still wants me to get married to one of those annoying girls who all want nothing but money and a husband to have sex with." He said, getting up from his chair. He had already heard about each of the princesses in the neighboring kingdoms, and he knew about their reputations of philandering around or being spoiled brats and gold diggers who have their fathers wrapped around their greedy little fingers.

Kai couldn't help but snicker at his best friend's comment, watching as he changed into something more fitting to meet with other royalty.

"Oh well. I guess there's no getting around it. At least you got to marry Soobin without anyone forcing you to marry someone you don't love. Oh how I'd love to be a noble instead. Let's go now." He said, keeping his ranting to a minimum as he left his bedroom, the guard following after him as it is his job to guard him.

After a long walk down the halls of the palace, he arrived where he was told to meet, seeing his father sitting in his throne and a line of princesses chatting amongst themselves until they caught sight of him, immediately fangirling over his looks.

Taehyun rolled his eyes at the girls and walked over to the thrones, slightly bowing his head to his father before sitting next to him in his smaller throne.

"Ahh, you finally joined us, son~" he said, leaning over to pat his head with a large smile.

Taehyun sighed, leaning on the arm of the throne, chin in his palm. "Hello father. Let's just get this over with, I don't want to be here longer than I have to be." He said, earning a loud chuckle in return.

"Alright, alright, let's begin then." He said, clapping a few times to get the attention of the girls.

For the next hour, he had to listen to the girls talking about themselves individually as they gave their self-introductions. To say he was bored was an understatement. So far, none of them interested him even the tiniest bit.

He was about to just have his father send them away when he noticed a boy in the room, who was cleaning the floors. He had near-shoulder length, brown hair that was tied in a half ponytail and he looked like he was wearing servant clothes.

He had never seen the boy before, which intrigued him. 'He must be new', he thought, wondering what he was like. What really caught his attention was the male's attractiveness and how happy he seemed, even though he was doing nothing but cleaning.
