Prince Kihoon grew up under the glare of the public eye, expected to uphold the perfect image of his kingdom. Yet, he was taught the importance of loyalty and integrity. His natural charisma and elegance charmed all he encountered. Despite this, he longed for the right girl who could truly win his heart and earn his devotion. He yearned to find someone who would look beyond his title and wealth, seeing him as he truly was.
Tonight, the King and Queen are hosting a masquerade ball. Prince Kihoon stands calmly against the wall, seemingly uninterested in the many girls who approach him. Strange as it may seem, each girl who locks eyes with him swoons and faints with a smile on her face, as if poisoned by his striking beauty. Some girls attempt to appear blasé around him, but they can't help but blush and squeal at his cold demeanor.
Many men, filled with jealousy, watch him with disdain, while he remains unbothered, his pride unfazed. When nobles present their daughters to him, his expression hardens further, his patience thinning in the presence of their incessant offers. Despite his aloofness, Prince Kihoon's eyes scan the crowd, little do they all know, beneath his cold exterior lies a heart yearning for something more than just superficial admiration.
As the Prince grew weary of the same reactions from the girls at the ball, he excused himself from his parents and made his way outside. He ensured that no one saw him, wanting to enjoy a moment of solitude. As he walked down the hallway, he glanced down at the town below, becoming lost in thought as he strolled quietly.
As the Prince walked along, lost in thought, a sudden figure descended from the upper floor, landing directly in front of him, their back facing him. Wearing a mask, you concealed your identity, revealing only your eyes. A small bag was slung over your shoulder, filled with the stolen items you had taken. Your heightened senses made you aware of someone's gaze upon you, and you turned around to meet the Prince's stunned expression.
