☁️Empire AU!Lee Felix - Take My Hand

On a night where the Moon shone down its glimmering silver rays into your window, you'd rather be anywhere but studying history in your room away from its reach.

You had to, of course, as the princess of your empire and therefore the future Empress. But on a night like this one, all you wished for was to be whisked away into the stratosphere and bask under the watch of the Moon that keeps you company in these nights.

Just as you were about to doze off once again, you were startled awake by the knock at your door. You turned around to find your personal servant, Lee Yongbok - or Felix as he preferred you call him - knocking while peeking his head in through the door. You welcomed him with a sleepy lopsided smile which he returned compassionately at seeing your state.

"Not going to sleep yet, Princess (Y/N)?" he asked in his soft, deep voice, lighting up the lantern by your table.

You stared at the person you've been away from because of your studies by your doorway. "I told you, just (Y/N) is fine when we're alone." You shook your messed up hair and yawned. "And no, no sleep. Not if I don't want to get another lecture on ancient dynasties during lessons tomorrow. Sucks I can't go out on such a magical night though." You sighed and turned back to your scrolls.

He continued redoing your chamber with the sheets on your bed ruffled from the mental fit you had from your last lecture. "Well then, (Y/N), it really is quite beautiful tonight isn't it?" He watched your wistful gaze out the open window, strands of your undone hair being blown by the late night breeze.

You nodded absent-mindedly, fidgeting with the edge of your scroll, still looking out. You were brought back to reality by the husky breaths by your neck making you shiver in surprise. "Felix!" you yelped, holding a heart to your heart to calm down. "I told you not to do that. You know how it makes me feel."

He couldn't help but giggle in response knowing how startled you always get when he does that. In fact, he knows he's the only one who could do such a thing in such close proximity with the princess and get away with it, knowing how he's your favourite in the palace. "Yeah yeah I'll leave you to it, Princess."

"Goodnight then, Yongbok."

He pouted at that names you were used to giving each other at times even though he still isn't particularly fond of it. "Goodnight~" he resigned, closing the door gently and leaving you to it.

You found it strange; how he can just walk in while you're in such a damper mood and yet make it seem like most of those feelings are cast away in the wind. It was the reason you kept him beside you all these years after he was transferred to the palace. Back then, he was just the clumsy servant boy who only wished to do his duties better. Your younger self would usually laugh at him then, and yet as time went on, you often found yourself yearning for his presence more and more.

Your eyelids were getting heavy, the hand you lay your head on was starting to slip despite you practically begging for your brain to stay awake.

The unknown, insignificant servant boy a few years older than you whose only purpose was to serve your family. That's all Felix was supposed to be. But not to you - no, he was much more...

"Psst, Princess," said a quiet voice that was caught by the wind. Unbeknownst to your slumbering self, the very person you were thinking off was perched on the tree branch just outside your window, trying desperately to conceal himself among the leaves in the dark. Only you were too tired to lift your head up and answer. "(Y/N)!" he called a little louder only to clasp a hand over his mouth and looked around to make sure no one heard him.

You hazily lifted your head until you saw him and rubbed your eyes to make sure you weren't still asleep. You stood up and whisper-cried at his stunt, "Felix? What are you doi-"
