The Cruel Princess
The Cruel Princess
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(watching two maids pouring tea) You… (points her fan sharply) Drop that tray
Palace Maids
(startled, trembling) Y-Your Highness?
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(cold smile) I said drop it.
Palace Maids
(hesitant, then obeys, tray crashing to the ground)
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(steps forward, gripping her by the hair) Good girl. Now kneel…
Palace Maids
(whimpers, kneels) F-Forgive me—
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(leans close, hand sliding deliberately across her cheek to her chest, squeezing cruelly) Hm. Even when I touch you like this… you don’t resist? (laughs darkly) That’s why I love breaking toys like you.
Queen Min-seo (민서)
(watching from afar, whispering to her lady-in-waiting) Our daughter is… terrifying…
In the evening at Royal Hall
King Jae-hwan (재환)
(warmly) Hayeon, my jewel, you seem restless these days. What is it you desire?
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(smirks) Father… I want someone who belongs only to me. A maid who will never complain, no matter what I do to her. Someone I can play with, torment, and she should still smile for me.
King Jae-hwan (재환)
(chuckles proudly) Hah… such boldness. Very well, my daughter. I will give you what you want. Guards, gather the young slaves.
Royal Guards / Attendants
(line up several trembling young girls, dressed plainly)
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(walks slowly in front of them, eyes cold) Hm… remove their robes. I want to see them properly.
Royal Guards / Attendants
(hesitate, then obey, stripping the maids down to thin garments)
Maid 2
(covering herself, voice shaking) P-Please, Princess—
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(slaps her, hard) Did I say you could speak? (to the guards) Hold her arms.
Royal Guards / Attendants
(forcefully restrain her)
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(leans close, hands sliding cruelly across the girl’s body in front of everyone, her nails digging in) Weak. Crying already. (pushes her away) Useless.
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(moves to the next girl, gripping her chin, thumb brushing across her lips suggestively) Hm… better. But not enough. (shoves her aside too)
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(finally stops in front of one girl, staring at her trembling eyes) …You. What is your name?
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(voice barely audible) S-Soo-ah… Your Highness.
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(smirks, tracing a finger from her collarbone downward, stopping just above her chest) Soft. Frightened. Perfect. (leans close, whispering against her ear) You will be mine.
King Jae-hwan (재환)
(pleased) Then it’s settled. Soo-ah shall serve only my daughter.
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(pulls Soo-ah closer, gripping her waist possessively) From tonight, you are no longer a maid. You are my slave. And I will do anything I want with you.
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(shivers, whispering) …Yes, Princess…
First night
At midnight in Princess Hwa-young's Chamber
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(On her bed, sipping wine lazily) Soo-ah. Come closer.
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(steps forward slowly, bowing deeply) Yes, Princess…
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(eyes narrowing) Look at me
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(hesitant, lifts her eyes, trembling) …
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(smirks, crooking her finger) Kneel.
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(kneels immediately, head lowered)
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(tilts her chin with a finger, forcing her to meet her gaze) Pretty little deer. Do you know why I chose you?
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
B-Because I… obey, Your Highness?
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(dark chuckle) No. Because you fear me. And nothing is sweeter than crushing fear until it becomes devotion.
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(Whispers) I-I will do as you command…
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
Good girl. (grabs her wrist suddenly, pulling her onto the bed)
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(gasps, landing beside her) Princess!
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(presses a finger against her lips) Shhh. You speak only when I allow. (her hand trails deliberately over Soo-ah’s body, her nails scratching just enough to sting)
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(shivers, tears forming, muffled whimper) …
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(leans close, whispering against her ear) You belong to me now. Every inch of you. (bites down on her neck harshly, leaving a red mark)
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(gasps in pain, trembling) Ahh—!
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(smiling cruelly) That’s right. Cry for me. (her hands wander lower, gripping harshly)
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(biting her lip, tears streaming, whispers) … Please, Your Highness…
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(squeezes her tighter, voice low and threatening) Did I not say no complaints? (leans closer, whispering hotly) Begging only makes me want to hurt you more.
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(sobs softly, nodding) Y-Yes, Princess…
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(pins her down, forcing her to endure her until Soo-ah’s body is trembling all over) Good. You’re learning.
🗿 will write smut dw but not now
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(on the floor, clothes torn, her skin covered in bruises and bite marks, silently crying) …
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(watching with a satisfied smile, sipping her wine) Remember, Soo-ah… you’re no longer a person. You’re my possession. My toy.
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
(broken voice, barely audible) …Yes, Princess…
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
(leans down, brushing her lips against Soo-ah’s ear) And tomorrow, we’ll play again.
Lotus Court
Royal Chamber, Lotus Pavilion
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
[Sitting on her golden couch, sipping rice wine. Her hair is loose, her robes half-open]
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
[Soo-ah kneels beside her, holding the cup steady]
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
Your hands are trembling, Soo-ah… Are you afraid of spilling my drink? Or afraid of what I’ll do if you do?
Slave Soo-ah (수아)
[kneeling]…I… I only wish to serve, Your Highness.
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
[Grins, pulling Soo-ah’s chin up] Good. Then tonight, you’ll serve me with more than your hands.
Night in Princess’s chambers
The sound of silk ripping. Hwa-young forces Soo-ah onto the bed, tying her wrists with red ribbon. Her cheeks wet with tears. Other maids are ordered to watch, trembling as their mistress humiliates the chosen slave.
Queen Min-seo (민서)
[worried, whispering to her trusted handmaiden] My daughter… she has grown crueler each day. The King adores her too much—he blinds himself to her sins. If the ministers hear of the… degradation in her court, it will shame the throne.
Lady Eun-jin (은진)
Your Majesty, the palace whispers already. Servants speak of screams at night… of torn garments, of the Princess forcing herself upon her maids. The Lotus Pavilion is cursed in their eyes.
Queen Min-seo (민서)
[nervous, biting lip] Silence them. If the King hears not from me but from his ministers, his rage will fall upon us both.
🏯 Council Hall, Court Politics
Minister Cho
[to Minister Park, in low voice] The Princess grows… dangerous. Even the guards murmur. A royal daughter who breaks bodies and wills—how long before she threatens more than servants?
Minister Park
Hush. The King treasures her. To speak against her is to invite death. Yet… if the Queen allies with us, perhaps we can curb her darkness.
👑 Princess Hwa-young [the next morning, smirking as she enters]
Princess Hwa-young (화영)
I heard the servants whisper… but let them whisper. I am the Princess. My word is law. And you, Soo-ah—[she strokes the girl’s cheek roughly]—are mine, body and soul. Even if I break you, you’ll crawl back to me.
Soo-ah lowers her gaze, her body trembling
