epilogue

Jaemin who danced with her is the Royal Prince.

Jaemin who saved her from the bandits is the Royal Prince.

Jaemin who kissed her on the lips is the Royal Prince.

She is in love with the Royal Prince.

Oh Lord...

"Princess.." Heejin, the Lady Royal dispersed Chaewon from her deep thoughts.

"I-I'm not a Princess, to be exact. Please don't call me that way. Call me Chaewon instead."

"I'm sorry, but I'm loyal to the Royals. Anywise, you're the prospective Princess for the Prince."

"P-prospective? Right.." Chaewon stuttered, never had she ever wanted to be the future Queen of the country. The Royal Prince wanted to marry her.

Her new life as a Princess has just begun, living with the love of her life, the Royal Prince, Jaemin.

Heejin give one last touch of Chaewon's make over and carefully covered the Princess's face with a veil.

"Do I look pretty?" Chaewon asked Heejin with a low toned voice.

Heejin smiled and nodded once. "You look beautiful, like the prettiest flower in this universe."ㅡ"The Princess is ready." Heejin said towards the royal maids who will lead the way and brought Chaewon to the altar.

Far before reaching the end of the aisle, there was Prince Jaemin. Standing proudly in his white fancy groom dress on the altar, in front of the crowd in the Church, whereupon their wedding ceremony was held.

"Princess.." The King, Siwon held his arm towards Chaewon, with intention for her to take it and held onto it as they walked into the aisle , towards the groom that awaits her.

Jaemin mused to the young lady besides his father when both of them walked into the Church, she was so beautiful in her white dress with the little ornament circling around her tiny waist.

Even though he couldn't see Chaewon's face through the veil, but he was sure, that she was very beautiful even if she puts on a straight face.

Jaemin gave a wide smile when the King hands him his Princess, clutched at her hand into his as he brought him to stand with him on the altar.

"My Princess.." He chimed as his hold got tighter on her hands. Jaemin pulled up the veil, revealing Chaewon with a blushed on her face when Jaemin called her his Princess.

"Why me?" Chaewon asked Jaemin, looking straight into his eyes, searching for his honesty.

"Will you, Prince Jaemin, son of King Siwon, take Chaewon, daughter of Sujeong and promise to be with her in sickness and health, in failure and in triumph to be your wife?"

Jaemin caressed Chaewon's gently, before taking her hand once again into his hold and smiled, "Trust me.."

"I, Prince Jaemin, son of King Siwon, believe in you, Chaewon daughter of Sujeong, the person I will grow to be as the Prince and Princess, sooner King and Queen we will be together. With my whole heart, I take you as my wife, my Princess, my Queen, acknowledging and accepting your faults and strengths, as you do mine. I promise to be faithful and supportive and to always make our family's love and happiness my priority. I will be yours in plenty and in want, in sickness and in health, in failure and in triumph. I will dream with you, celebrate with you, and walk beside you through whatever our lives may bring. You are my person—my love and my life, my Princess, my Queen, today and always."

Chaewon couldn't contend the urge to not cry with Jaemin's vows. Her hazelnut eyes were shimmering, bathing in tears and Jaemin wiped off her tears, telling her to stop but he himself couldn't help but to feel the same as his bride.

"Will you, Chaewon, daughter of Sujeong, take Prince Jaemin and promise to be with him in sickness and health, in failure and in triumph to be your husband?"

Chaewon gently pressed her lips, nodding slowly, "I put my trust in you, my love, my husband, my Princeㅡmy King to be with promise to grow with you and build with you a better life each day as we learn from each other to be patient, kind, giving, and to always cherish each day together. I do."

"You may now, kiss your bride, your Highness.."

Gently, Jaemin pressed his lips on Chaewon's. Letting their feelings collide with each other inside them through the sweet but soon turn into a passionate kiss.

Applause from the crowd intentionally made them to stop the kiss, both panting and grasping for air. Jaemin pulled Chaewon's face closer again to give a little peck, "I love you, my Princess." and hug her from the side then turned towards crowd that continued to congratulate them.

"I love you too, my Prince." Said Chaewon as Jaemin looked at her the minute his eyes averted from the crowd.

Say that it was hard and impossible to fall for a person in the first sign. Chaewon also believe that love need to be greeted and grow within the time you and him or you and her got to know each other..

But one true love feelings didn't even hesitate to make a brave move, to always keep you in their embrace and to never let you slipped away so easily after the first sign.

Like Jaemin did, and for that, Chaewon fell for him, in the first sign.
