Yeji's POV

I was lounging in Taehyun's room scrolling thru my phone looking at my Instagram account.

yes I'm a princess and it's not normal for a princess to have a Instagram account, i mean it's the 21st century almost every other Royal has one.

"are you seriously gonna lay in my bed and laze around? you're not gonna even prep yourself?" Taehyun asked me, he was currently busy chatting someone on his phone-probably kai or beomgyu

"why should I?"

"duh your boyfriend is visiting"

"he's not  boyfriend dummy" i defended rolling my eyes. indeed he was not my boyfriend, he's just one clingy prince who craves attention.

i stood up and dusted gown.

"I'll be in my bedchamber if someone finds me" i informed and he nodded.

i entered my bed chamber deep in thought. 'what are we gonna talk about to be exact?'

just then miran entered my bedchamber, chest going up and down. catching her breath she informed me "princess you must get ready at this very moment for prince yeonjun an his family will arrive in about twenty minutes"

hearing that i panicked and quickly picked an off white colored gown.it was puffy-those kind of gowns were my favorite.

"please prep me already" i informed the helpers as they started doing their work.

"princess as soon as you're finished, you need to proceed to the hall immediately" she said as i gave a nod in return.

"miran-" i started.

"do you perhaps, know what the reason of their visit is" i asked her,full of curiosity.

"i'd gladly tell you if only i knew princess, my apologies"

"hey, it's oka-"

i wasn't able to finish my sentence when taehyun went inside my bedchamber.

" you already look good. no, you look way to good" he stated the quickly grabbed my hand and dragged me out of my bedchamber.

" woah taehyun slow down" i warned him for i was about to step in my own gown already.

" slowing down is not one of options right now yeji noona, you're gonna be late" he fastened his pace and in under a minute we we're already standing in front of yeonjun and his family.

" oh i see, this is your precious princess your highness" yeonjuns dad smiled at me and my father.

" yes indeed your higness, now let's settle this in the tables,shall we?" my dad asked.

"you two, prince yeonjun and princess yeji" my father called.

" why don't the two of you have a talk in princess yeji's bedchamber, that's what youth does nowadays right?" father knowingly smirked.

" alright see you later at seven your higness'" i bid and dragged yeonjun out of the awkward scene with me.

" why didn't you tell me?" i asked him as soon as we entered my bedchamber.

" i honestly didn't even know, princess" he confessed.

"would you please stop calling me princess it's only the two of us here"

"fine by me"

"I'm really curious about tonight's happenings" i honestly said.

a lot could occur and possibly one of those is the one i feared the most.

being arranged in a marriage

no

especially not with yeonjun

"why don't you just let lose for a second? tonight can't be that bad" he tried to lift up the mood.

oh how i wished it wasn't.

CIRCUMSTANCES

"you two are getting married"

what

"we, by means i and yeonjuns father, my dear friend have decided it is the best, not only for you but for both the kingdoms if you two get married" my father looked really happy.

well i wasn't.

i eyed taehyun. the dummy was stopping himself from laughing.

"both of you can't say no you know that" it is true, we can't say no, we have rules here and on if it is when both kingdoms agree to unite by arranged marriage between a prince and princess the two that will participate in the marriage can't say no.

i eyed yeonjun who was infront of me, he was tensed but later on relaxed.

im actually getting married to this show off?

"okay so once everything is settled yeji, my dearest princess will live with the choi's" father suddenly said.

no no no no

"father? don't you think that is a little too much i will surely miss you a lot.so i think it is a tad bit better if i could just stay here and visit prince yeonjun from time to tim" i suggested

" oh that will be tiring my dear. i will miss you two but you can still visit us here every weekends" he smiled.

i really can't get out of this marriage huh?

well i gues this is fate and it'll be written down the history books from now on.

i sat down, contemplating my decisions, as if i have any as they continued to eat and chatter.

"um, im sorry to interrupt your highness'" i got their attention.

"could you excuse me and prince yeonjun?" i asked as they just nodded and return.

"sure dear, be back safe when clock hits ten" and with that she grabbed the latters hand and dragged him to some place.

the royal library

"why are we here?" yeonjun asked as they entered the library with high ceilings and walls that were painted a beautiful shade of off-white.

the librarian, miya greeted them when they entered which they return with a bow.

"we can't escape this nightmare yeonjun, you're going to be stuck with me and vise versa. this is going to be written in history books. we're the highest blooded royals afterall" the younger stated in a matter of factly tone.

"so you're saying?" the poor boy was not getting it.

the other royal rolled her eyes.

"what I'm saying is, if you and i are gonna be tied to each other until the day that we both die we need to make up some rules" she informed.

she didn't get any response so with that she continued.

"it's gonna be a loveless marriage yeonjun"
