he is a polite respectable prince of Korea. he has the best manners, and is also well trained to deal with ladies.

Taeyong always bowed to everyone and treated them with respect, even though many didn't do this to ordinary non-status people. because of this, every woman dreamed of him and wanted him for herself

but Taeyong was not interested in any of the young ladies. none of the princesses interested him, although his parents strongly insisted that he quickly find a partner to marry

the young prince wanted to marry for love, and not because of the status of his future partner's family. maybe that would actually make it worse, but then he'd be happy wouldn't he?

Taeyong often, when he was free from the routine of his busy days, escaped to the garden, hiding somewhere in the forest on the grounds of the castle by the lake. sat and enjoyed nature, felt so damn free.. sometimes he wishes he was a normal person

that night he also escaped from his chambers through the window while everyone was asleep. he was sitting in his pajamas by the lake and softly humming the melody of a song he had recently played on the piano.

suddenly he heard a noise from the nearby bushes and froze. it could be just an animal, or it could be a criminal. but the prince breathed a sigh of relief when one of his servants came out of the bushes. it was you - his servant whom he trusted most of all.
