Rotten To The Core

Park Iseul's pov

I was wandering around the kingdom with Ni-Ki , talking about random things

" Hey Ni-Ki, did I tell you that I'll be getting married"

" What? When?!  Who are you marrying?!"

" The Prince of the South Kingdom"

" Prince Heeseung?"

"Yea"

" That's like the worst guy to marry "

" Why does everybody think like that? "

" Well... First of all , are you marrying him by your own will?"

"Nope, Appa asked me to marry him"

" Hmm, I was literally thinking if there would be anybody willing to marry him... And there isn't!! You're being forced to marry him"

" Hey! Don't think like that!! I don't think he's a bad prince! "

" He isn't a bad Prince, in fact he's a great Prince, but he isn't a good guy !"

" Why does everybody think that way! He probably isn't the way y'all think he is!!"

" Fine, calm down Iseul ah, and I have a reason to dislike him"

" Why do you dislike him?"

"He's the coldest guy one will ever meet. I think he has a dark past, or at least some incident that made him this way, but the reason why I dislike him is because I don't think he'll treat you nicely... He would basically just use you to become the king, even if he doesn't intend to do that. Also, do you really think he won't have any mistresses? He would probably give them more attention than he'll give you"

" Excuse you, Mr. Nishimura, a king can only have mistresses if the queen allows him to have one, also, who  told you that I'll allow him to have mistresses?"

" I... Yea okay, maybe you won't, but he still wouldn't give you all of his attention"

" And? I don't need his attention!"

He sighed

" Fine you win, for now, just please be safe and take care of yourself!! Also, I will kill him if he hurts you!"

I still did not understand what does he mean by ' for now ' but I just shrugged him off

" Mhm, I'll take care of myself!"

We talked about few more random topics and then decided to call it a day

~ time skip to the announcement day
(Cuz maeumi can wink better than Jungwon!!)

Today was a very big day!! We have held a ball at the South Kingdom, where we'll be announcing the wedding

And we just arrived at the South Kingdom!

We saw her majesty waiting for eomma and I

Appa, Sunghoon and Jay will be arriving from a different entrance

" Good afternoon Queen Lee" eomma said while bowing a bit in respect

" Good afternoon your majesty" I said while bowing 90⁰

I was terrified! I want to have a good impression

" Ah. Good afternoon Queen Park and Princess Iseul it's a pleasure to meet you!" She smiled warmly

Okay, I guess she isn't one of those typical cold queen's

" I'll ask one of the maids to assist you "

That's when I saw my personal butler Yang Jungwon and my maid Chaeyeon

" Also, Princess Iseul, Your butler and your maid would be staying in the kingdom, as it might make you a little lonely if they weren't here"

Wow this queen is freaking amazing!

I nodded and bowed before following one of maids, along with Chaeyeon and Jungwon

The maid bowed at me  and said

" Good afternoon Miss Iseul, my name is Ae cha  and I'll be your assistant in the South Kingdom along with Miss Chaeyeon and your Butler Jungwon"

I widened my eyes

" Good afternoon Ae cha, I would appreciate if you drop the formalities and just call me Iseul"

" I'm sorry I'm not allowed to address any member of the royal family informally"

" But aren't you supposed to be following exactly what I say?" I asked politely

" Yes..."

" Then please call me Iseul"

She nodded and I smiled in return

Lee Heeseung's pov

I was walking down the royal stairs when I overheard a conversation.... AGAIN!

Did Princess Iseul already arrive?

I went there and saw Princess Iseul talking to Ae cha, one of the maids here

"Good afternoon Princess Iseul" I said while bowing

She looked a bit shocked but bowed back

" Good afternoon Prince Heeseung"

And then I saw to other people who bowed as well

" Good afternoon Prince Heeseung, I'm Iseul's personal butler Yang Jungwon"

Ah he must be her butler in the West kingdom

" Good afternoon Prince Heeseung, I'm Iseul's maid Chaeyeon "

I nodded but raised an eyebrow

" Princess Iseul, why do they address you informally?"

" It's because I asked them to, it's makes us more closer to each other, I wish for you to address me informally as well"

I smiled warmly

" I will, but you need to drop the formal speech as well"

She nodded
