By a stroke of luck, a poor orphan girl from the slums, Ann, saves the life of a prince. In gratitude, he bestows upon her an extraordinary opportunity to live in the palace as a royal maid. Though she initially remains by his side as a long-time friend, Ann finds herself inevitably falling in love with him. However, as time passes and the prince’s royal marriage approaches, the moment draws near for her unrequited love to come to an end…
“Do you like men that much?”
“…That’s uncalled for.”
Ann frowned, her gaze steady on the man whose eyes burned with intensity. His expression was dark and severe.
“Isn’t it true? Like a madwoman, you’re running from one man to another…”
“What’s wrong with meeting suitors? I’m of marrying age, after all.”
Ann bit her lip as Lennox slowly parted his own.
“…What’s the problem, exactly?”
“What do you mean?” Ann blinked in confusion, her tone defensive. Lennox’s lashes quivered faintly, betraying an unspoken frustration.
Then, like a predator closing in, he reached out, grabbing her and pushing her against the wall.
Ann yelped, squeezing her eyes shut in shock. Before her head could hit the wall, his hand cradled the back of her head. Trembling, she glared up at him.
“You said you didn’t like me,” he said, his voice low and strained.
“I—I don’t understand what you mean,” she stammered, her words flustered and disjointed.
It was clear he was dredging up memories she would rather forget. Her breath hitched, and a deep flush of embarrassment crept over her cheeks. His expression twisted, his frustration evident.
“You clearly said no.”
“Your Majesty…”
“Was I really that repulsive to you?”
