____________________________________

My name is l/n y/n, I'm y/a and a princess of a small village called Innswood. It's around 1925 and in this town doesn't know much but they only rely on my family to help them since we're royals. I don't really like being a princess because I'm forced to learn how to be a housewife and basically give children whenever the king wants. I hate how this village wants the women to watch the house and have kids, but won't let us work like men?

Do I have to be married in order to survive? Do I have to have kids to be called a woman? Why do I have to listen to the man all the time??! I always ask this question but I get the same response 'because it's a woman's job' well I wish it wasn't. I was suppose to marry Lee Mark (nct) but he wasn't the man I actually wanted. He wasn't the tall man with a square jaw, with the beautiful box smile, the mole on his nose, and the soothing deep voice that keeps you calm.

Mark wasn't the man I wanted. He wasn't Kim Taehyung. Tae was three years older than me; he was a commoner in the town who got very little attention from the townspeople. But surprisingly he caught my eyes and I caught his, it was something about him that was so different from the other men. He would let me help him with his work, he never asked about marriage or kids. He just asked me simple things that I wished for and eventually I fell in love.

I snuck out plenty of times to go meet Tae but one day I was caught but thankfully they couldn't find Taehyung as he had unfortunately left the village.

It had been 8 months since I last saw Tae; my parents had been forcing me to be a better 'housewife' while also making me speak more to Mark. All he ever talked about was how he would show me off and couldn't wait to see our babies, it disgusted me. I wasn't born to be a breeding machine... I was born to be free to do what I please. I didn't want Mark... I wanted Taehyung.

Slowly but surely Tae found many ways to leave me small notes and hints for our escape. We planned to run away on my wedding day, most people would be busy planing while I would have enough time to run.

The day had finally arrived for me to escape this cruel place to finally be happy. I was outside in the garden looking around at everyone putting the decorations up, I scoffed as I walked towards the open back gates. "Don't miss me while I'm gone.." I whispered before slipping behind the gates and running into the woods, I had to lift my dress so it wouldn't get caught on anything. I heard a guard say. I could hear two pairs of feet running behind me but I was pretty quick with running.

I was so glad I learned a few tricks from Taehyung as I ran deeper into the woods, I saw a tall figure standing there waiting. They turned around and there he was... Kim Taehyung. I ran to his arms hugging him tightly, I nodded. "We have to go now! They're behind us!!" We heard the footsteps coming towards us. He grabbed my left hand before pulling me into the darkening woods, we were taking many turns and twists to throw the guards off. Their voices were fading by the minute as he inches deeper in the woods, I was finally away from the tough life of royalty.

All you could hear were our heavy breathing and the leaves beneath our feet... I should've worn shoes. Tae said as we started running to a brighter area of the forest, "I never knew this was back here." He chuckled. We slowed down to a walk since we knew the guards stopped minutes ago. He said as he looked deep into my eyes.

I looked back at his eyes, "What do you mean darling?" He smiled as he grabbed my hands. You let out a giggle at his cuteness. "

I felt tears falling down my face at taehyung's confession, it was the exact words I needed to hear. "You don't understand how much that made me love you more Taehyung!"

I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him into a deep kiss, I felt his arms wrapped my waist. The kiss wasn't rushed, it was so passionate and romantic. I could feel the love through the kiss, this is what a princess really deserved. He grabbed my hand pulling us into the bright light as we came across a large cottage, my eyes widen as I saw the beauty before me.

"Family." I said as I finished his sentence. He smiled as we explored the large home. It had 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a beautiful space for us to look out at the pretty mini lake we had. This was the dream, a dream that became our reality.

Me and Taehyung eventually did our own marriage, we didn't invite guests or an official. We didn't care if it wasn't noted in law, we were content with knowing we were married and happily in love. We married in our beautiful garden where we after both cooked a large meal to satisfy us for the winter coming.

We have a lovely library in our home; he knew I loved reading books and built a small library that held many books from ages ago. It was a special thing for me as reading made me feel free from the harsh world I was raised into.

We even had a lovely bathroom that was definitely different from most. It was a special place where me and Taehyung held deep memories. We shared many steamy kisses and love making in this wonderful large tub. It felt so special having a man like him.

Eventually we started on our large family, we became with pregnant with our first son. I knew I didn't want a family before but when I found out about our son, it had changed everything. I was so happy to have something so beautiful in my life. I was married to a man who treated like equal and had a wonderful son who was just one out of five troublemakers.

I, Kim y/n left my royal bloodline to become a regular person again. I left a world on injustice to make my own world where anyone could be who and what they want. A world where I wasn't forced to become something I didn't want to be, a world where I was inferior.

This is my world where I can be and do what I want, a world where I can love and be truly loved. I, Kim y/n has done something that women down the line can learn from and do themselves. Dream on... because your dreams can come true.
