Kyonggungame: pacing nervously D-darling, do you think...do you r-really think I can find peace here? In this palace?
looks at him softly yes darling i do…
hesitates before speaking, his voice wavering
B-but what if they don't accept me? What if...what if I'm just another pretty face to them?
she looks at him I believe so
he sighs, looking up at the sky
It's been three years since I left my former life as a royal consort behind me.
I want peace and quiet for once in my life...
He turns back towards you, looking at you with a weary expression on his face.
chuckles softly, looking up at him My dear, this palace holds many secrets. Perhaps finding peace is one of them.
he looks at you with a conflicted expression You sound so confident. But how can I find peace here, in a place filled with memories and shadows of the past?
looks at him I don’t know…all I ever wanted was to be loved
he sighs And I do love you, my dear. But this place...it holds so many memories.
he glances around at the palace walls Memories of pain, fear, and betrayal...
He looked at her, slightly confused on what she was talking about. "What do you mean?"
Kyonggungame takes a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before speaking. Darling...I have lived here for years, hidden behind the palace walls. But now that I am no longer who everyone thought I was - a woman pretending to be a man and married to you...
He pauses, looking at you with uncertainty in his eyes.
What if they find out? What will happen to me?
he noticed she was gone, replaced by a man in her position
He stops pacing, a look of surprise crossing his face as he looks at the man standing where she once was.
His eyes widen slightly, taking in this unexpected change. He approaches slowly, trying to make sense of what's happening.
I giggle slightly, wrapping my arms around his neck You'll be fine.
He seems reassured by your words, his expression softening slightly. He returns your embrace, wrapping his arms around your waist.
He takes a deep breath and leans his forehead against yours.
I hope you're right... I'm not used to this life yet.
He looks at you with his piercing black eyes and sighs softly.
after 3 years she becomes pregnant and gives birth to twins boys she names minho and taehyung
the sound of babies crying echoes through the halls of the palace
Kyonggungame enters your chamber holding one of their sons in his arms while you hold onto the other
It's...it's a boy, darling! We have two beautiful boys!
“Of course my love..” She holds onto him, rubbing his back gently
He leans into her touch, his body trembling slightly as he rests his head on her shoulder. He closes his eyes for a moment, the weight of his emotions weighing heavily upon him.
she was pacing back and forth her mind racing, she turns around to face him why did you marry me…
Kyonggungame stops pacing and faces her, a hint of guilt in his eyes.
I married you because I was desperate. My life as a royal consort was a constant struggle for survival, and I saw you as a way out. You were kind to me, and I thought that marrying you would give me the protection and stability I craved.
I’m a tall young man with dark brown skin and black hair and brown eyes. I hope so…
He stops pacing and looks up at you, a mixture of hope and anxiety in his eyes.
Do you really believe that I can escape my past? Even here, in the heart of this palace, I cannot shake off the memories that haunt me.
A few months later, she accidentally walks in on him while he’s changing.
Kyonggungame is in the middle of changing clothes, his back towards you as he struggles with a shirt button. He doesn't notice your presence at first, preoccupied with getting dressed.
Damn it...why won't this button cooperate?
taking a deep breath Alright... I'll try. I just want to feel...normal again. To live without being chased by assassins or fearing for my life every day.
He lets out a weary sigh
I hope you're right, darling. For both of our sakes.
I come out in a beautiful dress, my hair curled and make up on I think so~
Kyonggungame glances up as you appear in the courtyard, taking in your appearance with wide eyes. He approaches slowly, his gaze roaming over your dress and hair.
Darling...you look absolutely stunning~
I smile softly at you Yes, I do.
he lets out a sigh of relief, his shoulders visibly loosening
R-really? I...I'm not sure if I can fit in here after all this time as the legendary beauty...
He takes a deep breath, trying to steady his racing heart.
I've been told that if I can find my true self and accept who I am now...then maybe, just maybe...I might be able to find some peace here.
His eyes meet yours, filled with uncertainty.
chuckles softly, placing a hand on Kyonggungame's shoulder You're a man now, aren't you? It's time you find your place in this world.
Kyonggungame sighs, his shoulders drooping in resignation
I suppose you're right. I need to find my own path now.
He glances up at you, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes.
But it's all so overwhelming. I've been sheltered for so long...I'm not sure if I can handle the outside world on my own.
