Sovereign's Love: 'my love will devour you'

The Unseen Threat

You walked through the grand halls of the palace, your footsteps echoing off the marble floors. You had grown accustomed to the luxurious surroundings, but today, you felt a sense of unease. Taehyung had been distant lately, preoccupied with matters of state, and you hadn't seen him all day.

It has already been a month since Taehyung is sticking with you and you have grown too fond of his touch.

As you turned a corner, you noticed a group of courtiers and guards gathered near the throne room. They parted, revealing a stunning princess, her long, raven hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of night. Her piercing green eyes locked onto you, and a sly smile spread across her face.

"Ah, the infamous Y/n," the princess said, her voice dripping with sweetness. "I've heard so much about you."

You are too innocent to sense a hidden agenda behind the princess's words. The princess gilded closer, her gaze roaming over your simple yet elegant attire.

"You're...quite lovely," the princess said, her tone condescending.

"Welcome, your highness, I am honoured to be known to you." you bowed politely.

"I can see why his majesty would keep you as a...companion."

Your heart raced as the princess's eyes seemed to strip her of your dignity. You felt like a mere object, a possession to be used and discarded. The princess's words were laced with venom, designed to make you feel like a mere harem woman, not the king's beloved.

Just then, Taehyung emerged from the throne room, his eyes scanning the scene before him.

His gaze met yours, and for a moment, they locked in a silent understanding. But before he could intervene, the princess curtsied low, her eyes never leaving your face.

"Your Majesty," she said, her voice sugary sweet. "I'm Princess Sofia, from the neighbouring kingdom of Azura. I've come to...strengthen our alliance."

Taehyung's expression turned guarded, but he nodded graciously. "Welcome, Princess Sofia. We'll discuss the terms of our alliance soon."

As the princess rose from her curtsy, her eyes flashed with triumph, and little did you know you were in for a storm..

Taehyung's gaze lingered on you, just like other days, loving and devouring. But you sensed a subtle change in his demeanour, a hint of tension in his jawline. He turned to Princess Sofia, his voice polite but firm.

"Princess Sofia, I'll have my advisors prepare the necessary documents for our alliance. In the meantime, I'll assign suitable quarters for your stay."

Princess Sofia's smile never wavered. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm eager to explore your...hospitality."

As the princess's eyes roamed the palace, you felt a shiver run down your spine. There was something calculating about Sofia's gaze, something that made you wonder what secrets she hid behind her charming facade.

Taehyung gestured to a nearby guard. "Escort Princess Sofia to her quarters. Ensure her comfort and safety."

The guard bowed and led Sophia away, her eyes never leaving your face. As they disappeared into the mazy corridors, You felt a sense of unease settle in. You knew that Taehyung's attention was divided, and Sofia's presence would only complicate things further.

"Your majesty..." you called him out without knowing what to say.

He turned to her, his expression softening. "What is it, my love?" Taehyung asked, wrapping his hands around your tiny waist.
