Kingdom of Reingarth

A gloomy atmosphere prevailed in the place without exaggerating, even the darkness of the night was more joyful than the atmosphere that surrounded the palace of that kingdom

The building showed the passing of the years in it, as if for a long time no one has lived inside of it

But that was not the case, servants could be seen performing daily tasks, cleaning, cooking and guards had been carrying out their work since early in the morning

Everything seemed in order except for the long dark curtains that decorated the multiple windows of the place

Paintings of bygone kings that used to decorate its walls had been removed, leaving nothing but stones in sight

The appearance of a tall young man with blond hair and elegant clothes in one of the main corridors, implied that he was of the nobility

The young man calmly continued walking the corridors with one of his hands on the wall, appreciating its multiple textures; humming a tune

The vision of a large wooden and steel door in his front led him to be silent and with both hands at his sides

It seemed that the gloomy atmosphere had also finally affected the young man

He took a deep breath and knock on the door three times, silently waiting for an answer

He was ready to strike again when a deep voice from the other side answered him:

-Come in

The young man with blond hair took a breath and without further ado opened the heavy door, hearing a squeak in the process

A mysterious figure was seen turning his back to the young man, a large black and red cape dressed him, the hood over his head covered his face

He was looking out through the dark curtains, as if hiding from the daylight he was

The young man just stood in front of the door, he made no effort to approach the dark figure

He gave the impression that he was already used to that sight

-What do you need father?

Said the young man with a bored tone and observing the two empty thrones that were on his left side

That dark figure was nothing more and nothing less than the current King of Reingarth, King Taehyun

-"I'm glad you came my son"

Said the King in a deep voice without turning around to see his son, he was only looking towards the outskirts

He continued:

-"Our plan must be set in motion, all the pieces are in place and YOU must do your part

My son, finally we will get what we deserve... For ourselves and the kingdom!"

The King said to his son with great emphasis in his last words

For sure his power of oratory must be wonderful

The young man was just watching him carefully, no sign of surprise could be seen on his face

Apparently he knew very well what his father was referring to

-Of course father... I know very well what I should do

I'll make you proud

The young man said to his father without moving at all
