You were shock to know that you and your brother Sunoo was called from the palace. You were just sold as slaves eight months ago making you wonder why you two were summoned there. You've learned that you were called to be Prince Heeseung's teacher a...
You started reading through the pages, it's this kingdom's history. The southern kingdom is called as it is. Even from where you are, which was from the north, kingdoms weren't really named after something but rather from where it is located. After what seems like hours of reading, and you're already halfway through the book, you seem to be warry of where the prince's whereabouts are. He should be here an hour ago yet you're still alone here. Worried that the next hours for the next subject would be affected, you decide to look for him yourself.
Although you weren't that familiar with the palace, you figured you could just ask anyone around for directions. You started to walk down the large hallways that are decorated with big paintings into a large courtyard. You seem to be very unlucky today since no one's really around. The big pillars of the palace seemed to daze you more but then a figure just passed by. Hoping you could ask for direction, you ran after the person. His back is turned away from you and he seems to walk to the west wing of the palace which is much farther from the library. To your surprise it was the prince himself. Heesung to turns his face to see who could be following him and the second he sees you, he starts running away.
Your eyes widen and starts running after him. "Your highness, where have you been? Our classes should've started a while ago," you pant as you run after him into another hallway that's full of doors.
You turn right to follow him but he was gone. You huff out to yourself and blow tge stray fringe of hair away from your eyes. You sweat yourself like crazy, the dress you're wearing are layers of fabric making it even hotter. Why is he even running away from you? Does he really hate his lessons that much?
You start opening doors to see where he could've entered. The first door was an art room, then an empty bedroom, another empty bedroom, a large powder room, another bedroom. The doors must've been unlimited since the hallway just stretches farther and farther.
You shut your eyes tight and opens the next room. It's a large office and a masn is sitted in the largest desk you have ever seen your entire life. The glasses he's wearing is perfectly pearched on his nosebridge and you could see how long his lashes are as he looks up to you form the paper he's writing on.

You bow in apology and was baout to leave when he stands up to his feet and walks to you.
"I'm really sorry sir. I was just looking for the prince. I apologize for not knocking," you said, your eyes casted down to the floor.
Something that your old employer used to beat out of you.
"That's okay, why are you looking for the prince by the way?" He asks, his wavy hair almost covering half of his forehead.
He's really beautiful for a man.
"Our lessons should've started an hour ago but he never came. He started running away from me instead when I saw him at the courtyard," you said embarrassingly.
You might not know this man but seems noble or some sort. He would'nt be in this large office if he's not a high ranking personnel.
"I see. So you're his new teacher?" He said tapping his finger on his lips.
"Yes sir," you answered.
"I might know where he's hiding," he said to you making you smile in joy.
"Really? I mean, really sir?" You try to hide your eagerness.
He chuckles and walks pass you to open the door.
"This way lady—" he 2aits for your answer.
"Oh no please sir, I am no lady here," you said in alarm.
He smiles and opens the door wider.
"Anyone in this palace is a lady to me," he said nodded a little.
You look away bashfully and fidgets with your hand. You have never been called lady since 8 months ago. It sounded a bit out of place now.
"Y/n, kind sir," you answer anyway.
He smiles im return, showcasing his pearly white teeth.
