“Rise and shine,your highness.”One of my trusted chambermaids withdraws the velvet curtain and the sunlight successfully fitting between the gaps of my frail fingers as I shield myself from the morning sun.
“Morning to you too.”I said, rubbing my eyes roughly and the laces detailed on the sleeve of my nightgown greeted my soft cheeks.
“Breakfast will be served in a few.”She announced and curtsied before she left my chamber.
I jumped out of the bed, feet scrambling against the outstretched sea of cold tiles heading to the balcony. My palm clenches the iron wrought, eyes searching for his figure. With much effort and with the encouragement of a little blue robin peeping merrily, I found him in the garden, weeding the grasses and showering the plants with water and care. He was in white tunic that had been drenched with his efforts and reinforces his abdominal muscles. He was dashing in his oak-coloured pants and with his extensive hair tied up into a ponytail. I erupted in giggles with admiration; he stopped from his energy-consuming labour, throwing his equipments haphazardly on the ground, his bulging brown orbs searching.
When he was nearing the place I stood, my giggles multiplied even when I shield my mouth with my palm from amplifying them.
“Princess Taeyeon, good morning.”He curtsied in front of the balcony with a wide smile.
“Minho-shi, good morning to you too.”I replied a bit too earnestly, jumping a little,if I could I would’ve jumped down and peck him.
“Did you sleep all right, milady?”He enquires, extending his already long neck, eyes glinting with concern.
“I did, milord. And, you were the embellishment of my beautiful sleep, appearing in my dream relentlessly.”I retorted, in fact it was true he appears in my night accompanying my sleep, leaving me waking up in a sort of trance state.
“I’m afraid that my heart had decided to reside with you, milady.”
“I shall care for it with utmost heed with my frail fingers, milord.”
The next few moments was used to admire the way his tanned skin shone under the sunlight as I rested my palm on the iron wrought with my chin on top and he shadowed my action grinning from ear to ear, in my eyes there was only him and in his eyes, I could see the reflection of myself.
“Princess Taeyeon! Princess Taeyeon!” I could hear the loud footsteps resounding, and our moment had been interrupted, he smiled gently and assigned me to leave him. My heart was heavy, and with every farther footstep I took, away from him, my head constantly turns back watching him slowly fading.
“I’m here, my loyal maid.”I shouted before once again turning my head around to see he wasn’t there anymore.

“Good gracious, you look lovely, your highness.”The chambermaids cooed in awe as the reflection of the young princess appears.
The young princess was a vision of grace and poise in her beautiful gown trimmed with frills and laces made of the finest muslin in champagne with a layer of white tulle. Her neck was smothered by the intricate embroidery by the careful hand of the royal seamstress, the embroidery flows through her collarbones ending at her wrist. Her blonde hair was in the most delicate hue with the lights shining down on her. Her profusion of beautiful hair had been arranged in a coiffure with sprays of lilies-of-the-valley fresh from the royal garden foliage falling over it, her back hair akin to a waterfall twisted in a thick plait in unison with her gown. Her royal crown pinned on her front hair which had been arranged over like a thick cushion.
She was breathtaking with the floras given by her forbidden beau, her eyes swimming around her chamber restlessly, always looking outwards waiting for his figure to appear.
~
“There she is, my beautiful cherub.”Her father, the King announced to a man whom she recognised as the King of a neighbouring country and next to him a man dressed in notably fine silk and tunic, the kind of material Minho could only see and touch but never don himself.
The prince took her petite and uncertain palm in his and placed a kiss on top of it, she curtsied and politely introduced herself.
“A pleasure meeting you, milord.”
“Princess Taeyeon, you’re even more captivating than what I heard.”
“I thank you for your warm-hearted compliment.”The prince later took her hand in his and led them to the dining hall where the queens had sat and conversed possibly on the future of Prince Kim and Princess Lee.
She could hear her father’s hearty chuckle behind her as the kings’ trail behind them, and it aggravates her to no end, when her father addresses Prince Kim as his son. And, while she ate her lavish dinner with the loud chatter of the royal family, her mind takes her wondering to her beau who is probably sleeping on a mattress of hay.
~
When the dinner had ended, and the royalty had gone to slumber, oblivious to the world or the rats coming out in the kitchen, the young princess eagerly jumped out from her comfortable mattress and the warmth of her fluffy blanket. She grabbed her coat and tousled her wardrobe searching for her lantern.
She head outside in the nerve-seeping chilliness of the night, heading to the cottage situated few metres away from the castle. Lights were emitting from the cottage and she was joyous knowing he was anticipating for her visit. She brought her coat closer to her body and ignoring the hooting of the owl, all in her mind was him.
~
She could see from a far, her Romeo waiting outside his door with thick blanket and a cup, what she presumed as a warm drink. She walks faster, and when he came to view, she sprints.
She abruptly stopped in front of him, carelessly throwing her lantern on the ground, hugging him tightly after he had let down the cup. He swings her around, pecking her visible skin. When their blood had slowly quiet down from the rush, they looked at each other’s eyes, convincing themselves it wasn’t a mere dream. She kissed him with much passion, as her satin nightgown rustled.
At that moment, she wasn’t a princess that was burdened with responsibilities but with a young girl madly in love.
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while.
