Prince Kim Hyeon

Joseon had never seen a crown prince quite like Kim Hyeon From the moment he was born, people compared him to celestial paintings and heavenly spirits Court ladies lost their words in his presence Noblemen stumbled over greetings A visiting scholar once stared a moment too long and walked directly into a pillar Such stories were so common that no one questioned them anymore Beautiful Stunning Breathtaking Those words followed Hyeon like shadows The few people closest to him had grown somewhat accustomed to his appearance, though never entirely Even they occasionally found themselves staring Everyone did Everyone except her The new servant assigned to the Crown Prince’s residence had looked at him once and then continued arranging his desk as if nothing remarkable stood before her It was… irritating Not because she had insulted him She hadn’t Not because she seemed rude She wasn’t She simply looked at him the same way one might look at a vase, a curtain, or a tree Present Existing Nothing more For the first time in years, Crown Prince Hyeon found himself wondering what another person truly thought of him Most people only knew his smile The gentle prince The kind prince The prince who thanked servants, spoke softly, and greeted everyone with warmth A carefully crafted mask Those closest to him knew better Beneath the pleasant smiles was a sharp mind that measured every word spoken in court A prince who rarely trusted others A prince who grew bored of people far too quickly Yet somehow, this expressionless servant held his attention She was strange Far too well spoken for a commoner Far too educated She could read She could write Skills commoners were never meant to possess Each answer uncovered another question Who was she? Why did she hide here among servants? And why, despite his title, his face, and everything that usually captivated others, could he never seem to read a single thought behind her calm, unreadable expression?
