Your POV
I was nervous. Here I was third class, eating with Royalty. This doesn't feel right. "(Yn), are you okay?" I hear a voice ask me quietly. I turn my head and see Prince Taehyung looking directly at me. "I-I'm fine.... Thank you for your concern Prince Taehyung." I said and looked at my food. I had yet to eat, I was too nervous. I felt out of place. "What's with the labels?" He asked. "You're first class, it's disrespectful to address you without a label if I'm a lower class. You are aware of this aren't you Prince Taehyung? My apologies if that sounded sassy, it certainly wasn't my intent." I said still staring at my food. "(Yn)? Are you okay? You haven't touched your food?" The Princess I recognize as Khloe asked. Everyone was now looking at me. I look around and see the glares from all the servants once again. This is why I don't talk to Taehyung.... I get in trouble. Not with the King or Queen but with the girls I work with. They all like him, an I've heard they would kill anyone who got close to him.... This is why I was always lonely. I never talked to any of the other servants, I just worked and hoped to never tick them off. They already don't like me because I'm Taehyung's more personal servant. "I-I....." I stutter. Looks of concern cross their faces. Why am I here? "(Yn), what's wrong?" Taehyung asks in a gentle voice. "N-nothing Prince Taehyung. Everything's fine." I reply and start to eat. The table remains silent for a moment before everyone starts talking and eating. "Thank you for inviting me to eat with you, I'm going to head to my sleeping quarters. It was an honor." I said with a bow. "(Yn), wait! Let's talk!" Princess Cordillia said as she finished her food. All of the Princesses nod their heads and get up. My eyes widen. No... No no. Please no. Princess Marisol grabs my hand and we all leave the dining room. "Seems like your fiancées took a liking to Taehyung's personal servant." I hear the Queen say. Oh someone help me. "So how long have you been Taehyung's servant? Does he treat you right? Are you feed well? Do you sleep okay?" They kept asking. "Why are you all so interested in me?" I asked. Why am I so popular with the royals today? "You seem like an interesting person, plus our fiancées always get letters from Taehyung about you, and about how great you are." Princess Kapreese says. "H-he talks about me?" I stuttered completely shocked. "Yes. Yes I do." Another voice suddenly asks. It was Prince Taehyung and the other Princes. "Why?" I asked and looked at the ground. I'm so not gonna sleep comfortably tonight. "You've been with me for ten years, you've done so much for my family how could I not brag about the best servant I've got?" He responds. "Also, (Yn) can you show them where they're going to sleep, they're staying the night. The Princes and Princesses are at least." Taehyung asked me. I stand up and bow. "As you wish, your majesty." I say and begin to lead them to their rooms.

*time skip*

I had give all of the engaged couples, except for Princess Kiara and Prince Jimin. I had already given away all of the other guest rooms. I turned to them, and bowed apologetically. "I'm so sorry, we're out of guests rooms, but I can provide you with my room. It won't be as luxurious as the guest rooms but I hope you won't mind." I said them led them to my room. I opened the door. "It's not much, but I hope that won't bother you." I said. "It'll be fine, thank you for your kindness." Jimin said and bowed to me. My face became shocked. He smiled and shout the door as they got in. Where am I gonna sleep? I begin to wander around. "(Yn)? What are you doing up? Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" The voice of Prince Taehyung said stopping me. "I don't have a place to sleep at the moment. We ran out of guest rooms, so I gave mine to the last couple. Now, I'm searching for a place to sleep. Thank you for your concern, Prince Taehyung." I said with a bow then kept walking. I felt a hand grab my wrist. "Do you need something your majesty?" I asked, not looking at him. "I could've offered my bed to them, you need to rest. Why don't---" he starts. "It's okay, Prince Taehyung. I'll be fine, you sleep in your bed, I'll sleep in the lounge." I replied and gently pulled my wrist out of his grip. "Thank you for the offer." I said and began to walk away. "Anytime, Song (Yn)." He said. I froze in my steps and blushed. Stupid deep vocal chords. I walked to the lounge grabbed a blanket and a pillow. I got on the couch and tried to fall a sleep. "Wake up you rat!" A voice says just before I fell completely asleep. I knew that would've been room easy.

Prince Taehyung's POV
I was looking in the direction of where she had gone, an uneasy feeling in my gut. "You okay, son?" Father asked as he walked up to me. "I have a bad feeling." I replied still looking where she had gone. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Somethings going to happen to her... I don't know what but..... Something." I replied and narrowed my gaze. "Then follow her, make sure she's okay." He tells me and puts his hand on my shoulder. I glance at his hand. I nod my head and quickly walk in that direction. I stopped when I heard voices. "You think you're so special, getting all the attention from the royals." A voice laced with venom said. "I really don--" The voice of (Yn) starts, but gets cut off. "Don't lie to me Song (Yn). You think you're special, but you're just like the rest of us. Just. A. Servant." The first voice continues. "Lee Eyung--" (Yn) starts again but this time is cut off by a loud clap. I narrowed my gaze and a low growl erupted from my chest. I burst into the room. My eyes landed on Lee Eyung. Her eyes widened. I glanced at (Yn) and saw the red mark on her cheek. I look at her eyes and see her trying to fight back tears. I stayed eerily calm. "What happened?" I asked and made direct eye contact with Eyung. "I-I was just... Oh my! (Yn)! Are you okay who did this to you?" Eyung asked pretending she hadn't done it. Another growl rose from my chest causing Eyung to freeze. "You're not fooling me, I heard what you said. Now, if you know what's best for you, you are going to leave this room and never EVER lay another hand on her again. If you do and I find out about it, you will face serious consequences." I tell Eyung with a fierce glare. She bows and leaves the room. I look back at (Yn) and my gaze softens. "Are you okay? How hard did she hit you?" I asked as I kneeled down next to her. She looks at me. "Y-you..... You helped me..... Thank you, Prince Taehyung." She said to me. "Please, just call me Taehyung. I hate titles, sometimes. Depends on the person." I told her. I looked at her cheek. "Does it hurt?" I asked. I slowly moved my hand toward it. Fingers barely touch it, and she flinches slightly. I growl again. Her eyes widen in fear. I soften my gaze again. "I'm not gonna hurt you, but Eyung is going to have some serious consequences after what she did to you." I said. I don't want that to happen again. "Come with me." I said as I grabbed her hand. We get out of the lounge. "What happened?" Mother and Father asked as they got to me. "Lee Eyung hit her." I replied. "We'll deal with her, you've done a good job Taehyung." Mother said. "Thank you Mother, I'm taking her to my room. I don't want this to happen again." I said. The nod their heads and I continue to pull her to my room. "Y-you don't need to do this, I'll be fine just let me--" she starts. I turn toward her. "No. You're going to stay in my room." I told her as I looked her directly in the eye. I turn away and we enter my room. I let go of her hand. She starts to walk toward the couch. "No, no no. No. You're sleeping on the bed." I said as I grabbed her wrist to pull her toward the bed. She pulled out of my grip. "(Yn)." I said gently. She stops and looks at me. "You're going to sleep on the bed, okay?" I asked. She just stands there, with no response or movement. I sigh. I walk to her and pick her up bridle style. I place her on the bed. "Why are you so kind to me?" She asks as I lay on the couch. I smile. "Because you're kind to everyone else." I reply. "Thank you.... Really.... All the royals have showed me more kindness than I can remember... No offense but, I didn't really expect to be treated this well..." She trailed. I turn my head to look at her. I smile again. "You're welcome. Now get some rest we can check your cheek tomorrow. Goodnight (Yn)." I say as I turn back toward the ceiling and close my eyes. "Goodnight Prince Taehyung." She responds. I open my eyes and look back at her. "Ah, fix it." I said. "G-goodnight Taehyung." She stuttered. I smiled again. Turn towards the ceiling again and close my eyes to sleep.
