to have mercy

her royal highness yuri, crown princess of korea.

I really hate reading the news these days. Everything makes me angry. All the injustice. Discrimination. Abuse of Power. So many people with a voice and the power to do good, completely waste it and take advantage of it.

“that’s the most precious thing i’ve ever heard in my life,” koenraad will admit with a beam on his lips, showing off his pearly whites. it might have been melodramatic, but the dutch prince found stories like that to be quite uplifting, reminding him that there are good people out there, with pure intentions. he could often forget it, especially being cooped up in buckingham palace for the foreseeable. “i would love to try this candy. i am missing a few of my own home comforts at the moment, so i’m up for trying a few of yours, instead.” 

“if my dad didn’t hold a front of having an even, tough exterior towards the world, i’d want everyone to know how precious that man truly is.” a warm smile strings across yuri’s features, “take as many as you want, ive been told this is going to be monthly thing, so i’ll probably accumulate enough to have buckinghams own korean candy store — im going to make a fortune.”

      ‘ that’s incredibly sweet of him. ’ dmitri doesn’t suspect his parents would send a care package to him, but he still wonders what the contents would be if they ever did. he unwraps the candy, unnecessarily careful as to not tear the wrapper.‘ d’you find that it actually helps ? with the homesickness ? ’ he asks as he pops the candy into his mouth. 

“i dont think he’s used to not having the whole family around most of the time.” yuri offers a shrug, picking at another wrapper to expose a round bright green hard candy. “it helps for a while, however its not a cure. really it’s more useful for satisfying nostalgia.”

“I really left paradise to come here? I mean no offense to the Windsors, but this palace is kinda lame…”

“i don’t think the english are too big on the whole humidity thing” the princess smiles gently. “it’s not that bad... could be bigger.

“as an ex-kid who studied overseas for over eight years, let me just say that i never got a package as wonderful as this,” she responded, eyeing the food in her hands, “my parents were more of the letter writing type, but i always wished they could send me little rellerindos from home.” renatas hand reached for the strawberry candy she was offering. “oh yeah,” she mused in between chews, “i wish they had a larger variety of snacks around here. like, we’re a worldy congregation – might as well have the food match, right?”

“it’s my dad, he’s the overprotective type. i think this is the longest ive been away from my family.” yuri happily takes a piece out of the packet, “its called mychew.” returning the sweets back into the box, yuri turns her attention back to the other womans, “there’s some korean food stores around the city. once i put on a scarf and sunglasses so i can go in, and stock up enough to gorge on my old favourites.”

artem was nestled by the window, blanket draped around his legs and book in hand. to escape from the pressures of the royal life, he often found himself getting lost in fictional words. that particular day, he was consumed with ibsen’s a doll’s house, believing reading a play would do the trick. he was so lost in the norwegian drama that he hadn’t even realized someone was speaking to him. looking up at them, artem’s voice rang out, “ sorry… i was kinda absorbed in my book… uh, what did you say ?? ”

yuri could see her face, the next moment she was gone. she’d let herself believe these fantasies of the older woman were real, a beckoning ringing out in a familiar tongue. however once the vision fades away, yuri is left back in reality, and for a moment the world seems a little smaller. “—oh, sorry. i thought i saw my siblings in here. sorry to distract you.”

VICTORIA had her phone against her ear, annoyance written clear as day on her face. “you can’t just cancel on me like that!” she argued into the cellphone. “i don’t care if your babysitter had an emergency; can’t you just, like, leave the thing at home?” noise from the phone before she angrily hung it up, pouting as she flung herself onto the nearest bench. “i suppose i’ll just have to play myself in tennis today.” she sighed, ever dramatically, speaking to no one in particularly but also all but begging for the attention of anyone nearby. 

yuri holds back her amused quips, knowing very well the young windsor probably wouldn’t respond so well. it looked as if the vein in the middle of her forehead could pop within moments, or at least the wind could change as leave her semblance in a permanent state of displeasure. “i’ll play with you. i’m not overly great at tennis so i can promise you an overall victory.”

hello friends this is my new baby yuri, crown princess of korea. hmu if you want to plot/make connections with herrrrr.

born in seoul, korea, yuri watched as her long separated country finally unified as one. post-war, a convention between the two countries agreed this was their best way of survival, and differences had to be put aside. on both sides of the peninsula. it wasn’t easy, however the house of bak had worked extremely hard to build and maintain a unified country they could be proud of. with prosperity, longevity, and mercy. in fact, these values where written over the walls of the gyeongbokgung. the bak’s refused to relive the mistakes of their royal ancestors, and do whatever it took to further korea as a powerhouse nation in the world. anything.  yuri’s father is currently the reigning emperor, enjoying the current balance of cultural lifestyle traditionalism as well as modern methods of ruling a kingdom. for a man quite soft spoken and reserved in his ways, emperor kang has the capability to command the presence of a room — and a country when need be. yuri’s mother died five years ago, and only the young princess knows the true reason as to how. empress ye-jin was diagnosed with an aggressive form of liver cancer in 2040, and despite the best treatment in the world being given to her, ye-jin was on her death bed when yuri was 24. however her last days were not without pain. yuri, in much adoration of her mother couldn’t bare watching watching her mother spend her last moments on earth in such a state. one night her mother asked for a form of pain relief, and yuri and her mother came up with a plan to end her life through liver failure by a new paracetamol drug still in development and human trials, that had given past users liver failure. they hoped they would be able to get away with it, and by the time the doctors arrived to the flatlining ye-jin, they announced her dead from her cancer. yuri still to this day is unsure how the doctors did not pick up on the true reason behind ye-jin’s death, however yuri knows this is what her mother wanted. till this day, yuri has not told her siblings the truth. yuri has a dedication to her family, a quality instilled from her from a young age. whatever they need, she provides for them. ye-jin had asked her to become a makeshift mum to her younger siblings while she was sick, and yuri had no issue taking on extra responsibility. often defensive and quarrelsome when unable to get her way, yuri has a strong set of morals she abides to without fail. if she happens to slip, she struggles to own up to it. yuri respects, and verbally appreciates courage in other people, strongly believing that without it no royal within the summit will be able to successfully rule without it.

“Don’t you think they get bored?” Vivienne spoke aloud, from where she sat on the window seat looking out onto the crowds of people in the mall. Not bothering to turn to see who was behind her yet, she hummed messing with the lock of the window over and over again. “I mean it’s just looking at a palace and certainly not even the prettiest of palaces. It’s just taking a picture of a big building, seems like it’s a waste of time, most definitely boring, but I’ve watched and there are families and tour groups who have been outside for at least an hour just looking at it. I’d lose my mind.” Smirking a bit she let the window creak open not even a centimeter, finally looking back at the person she’d been speaking to. “Should I give them a show?” 

“i dont know.” yuri peers out the window, sitting opposite from the princess on the window seat. the princess pushes a lock of hair behind her ear. there was tourists from all around the world dying for a chance to get a photo of the royals. “stand at the window and do the english royal wave, or were you thinking something more interesting?”

“my dad sent me a care package like i’m a kid studying overseas, it’s adorable.” yuri pulls out small packets of food from back home, “he has a thing about homesickness from traveling so much, doesn’t want me to feel the way he used to. —oh!!” the princess digs into the lavishly decorated package, “you need to try this, it’s a strawberry candy i used to sneak into my room as a kid.”
