"A mystical room, hidden from time, holds a secrets-keeping book. Penned by a prince who trusted magic for his mate, its pages whisper tales of his eternal love, his heart beating solely for his destined partner. 'So now you're reading this, my dear...
As Luna bid farewell and departed, I remained in the castle because I was staying there from that night onwards, Silence was the only thing I could sense. A solitary rolled down my cheek as I felt the absence of my loved ones - my mother, Emily, and Hyunseong. My heart got heavy as the thought of not meeting them ever again crossed my mind...
I stood alone in the hallway in front of my room, I sighed, feeling isolated with no one to confide in. My hand grasped the doorknob of my room when a faint, peculiar rhythm, which I heard for a few seconds, caught my attention. At first, I tried to brush it off, but the sound repeated, forcing me to focus on it. I scanned my surroundings again, wondering who could be nearby at such a late hour. The third floor was reserved for only maids who served the royal family,
I released the doorknob and stood motionless, scanning my surroundings and waiting along to hear that rhythm again. But the silence was deafening. I began to take slow footsteps and stopped in front of the last room, shrouded in shadows, its door seemed larger than that of the other rooms. In my time, this room was reserved for the Queen's most trusted Advisor or her closest Maid. I fixed my gaze on the door, my eyes lingering on it whereas my mind was racing with possibilities.
I tried to open the door, a captivating fragrance filled my nostrils as soon as I stepped in, the room was large, completely different from what it used be in my time... There was no cupboard on right side of the door... The light was faint, scattered in the whole room giving a blur vision... Large strings were hung on the ceiling and touching the floor... I stepped forward that's when my shoulder hit a string which then collapsed with some strings again creating a rhythm...

(Please, imagine the strings are long _touching the floor. I used Ai to generate images because those that I found on internet were not suitable or matching the scenario even a little. So, I had to generate images using Ai and as Ai often makes mistakes so you may find few little faults and I am sorry for that!)
'who's there?' The sudden voice had a deep effect on me as it echoed in the room, as fear ran down my spine... I tried to control my voice, covering my mouth as fear got into my every vein but what was I afraid of!? Then I heard it again...
'I said, who's there?' He asked again, my heartbeat raced irregularly. The silence that followed was oppressive, and then I heard the unmistakable sound of a sword being unsheathed. My breath caught in my throat.
'I think you don't have a tongue,' the mysterious voice repeated, its tone was low and menacing.
'I-I'm sorry...' I stuttered...
'Come forward!' The voice was so majestic and demanding that I couldn't stop myself from stepping forward as the strings played the melody again... I came back to my sense and tried to stop myself... but then I heard:
'Oh! so it's a maid... Do... you know what I can do if you invade my privacy!?' He said while coming closer... The faint light became even faint while he came in front of me... His scent forced me to look at his face... God! such a divine person... I-It was him... Prince T-Taehyung.
'Aren't you afraid? Am I not looking dangerous, huh!?'He asked while raising his eyebrow... I shook my head, denying on which his eyes widened... I was so sure that he was taken aback...
'I can't consider a divine angel, dangerous!'I looked at him as if I was drunk, I lost my mind on the beauty he held, his broad shoulders, universe holding eyes as if filled with honey, his cherry lips, sharp jawline, toned torso everything was looking addicting as if it was wine or cigarette...
'W-What are you saying? you better stay there or else... you should know that I'm not merciful...' But still I couldn't control myself to reduce the distance.
Prince's perspective:
I couldn't move and my knees went numb... My mind raced as I couldn't figure it out, like what was happening with me!? I had... I had the authority to push her or even slap her but my body felt like it wasn't in my control, I tried to move my hand and bring it up but I couldn't... I felt her getting closer, what had gotten into her!? She held my waist widening my eyes as her head touched my chest and her hands traced my back awakening strange things I was stuck between her and the wall while trying to escape which I couldn't and still fighting with myself why couldn't I do anything? Her face got closer to my neck and her breath tickled my neck giving me unbearable feelings. She sniffed me taking my soul within her nostrils...
Harin's perspective:
I sniffed his scent whereas my nose was touching his Adam apple, God! his fragrance was even more addicting then his entire self... At that very time, I came back to my senses and my eyes widened, I, in a hurry, maintained distance between ourselves as my eyes met with his finding him totally shock and he seemed as if he was gonna collapse...
Prince's perspective:
She backed up and I released a breath which I was holding from, God knows when! I looked at her and her wide eyes met mine and even showing that she knew what effect she had on me, a fire ignited inside of me and I looked at her with hatred filling my eyes, what does she think of herself. I balanced myself straightening my back and coming over her, whereas she looked like a small kid in front of me...
Author's perspective:
'May I know what you thought before daring to do this?'He asked with heavy breaths, with anger dropping from his tone. She looked at him with pleading eyes.
'I-I'm so sorry, I don't know why I....' He cut her sentence and shouted,
'I don't need an incomplete answer, I don't allow you to use these annoying words (I don't know), I need a complete, satisfying explanation!!!' He shouted his lungs out scaring the shit out of her... But what was she afraid of!?
'I can only say, sorry!' she stated while staring at the ground
He gritted his teeth and reached her ear, whispering.
'You're a dirty maid, the reason for awakening feelings in me that I've successfully buried after times of hard work! Filthy maid' The way he addressed her fueled her to lose her temper, she looked up in his eyes holding grudge.
'And what made you think that you can address a princess, like that? using those words?' He smirked, hinting her that she fucked up. Her eyes softened cause she knew he would deny her and the matter will then touch the skies,
'Princess, huh!? of which country?' he asked while raising his eyebrow.
'N-nowhere!' his smirk grew wider as he placed his sword on her neck,
'That dream from yesterday's night has ended, give a time to nightmare too! and from now onwards, you better try to keep yourself safe. That's a warning, you may consider!' and then he left, pushing her shoulder with his.
