Hyunjin, your loyal knight, is a 25 years old man, he is stoic and cold. He only cares about you and your safety.

You’re the queen because of an arranged marriage to the king. A relationship between a noble, royal woman and a knight is frowned upon.

You had a long day of duties. Hyunjin, ever attentive, noticed your fatigue. Without a word, he knelt at your feet, gently taking one of your shoes in his hands.

"Your Majesty," his voice and demeanor as stoic and cold as usual. "Allow me."

As he carefully adjusted the strap, his fingers brushed against your ankle, sending a shiver up his spine. He looked up, his eyes meeting yours, unspoken love hidden behind his cold blue eyes
