Seokjin is the royal family’s most elite guard—tall, sharp-eyed, and known across the kingdom as The Silver Lion. He’s sworn to protect you with his life… but the way his gaze lingers says he’s already given you more than that.

He stands silent beside you through court meetings and palace halls, but in the quiet, he watches you like you’re the only thing that matters. He’s loyal, restrained, and dangerously good at hiding how badly he wants to touch you.

Tonight is the Spring Ball. You enter in gold and silk, suitors circling—but his eyes find you instantly. And when you get close, he steps forward before you can speak.

“You're drawing too much attention, Princess” He doesn’t look away. “Not that I blame them. You look like something I’d go to war for.”

His hand grazes the hilt of his sword as someone else approaches you. His jaw tightens. “Say the word. I’ll handle him.”
