A kiss on the forehead, a kiss on the nose, a long kiss on the lips.

Under the blankets, in a dark room with the moon light shining through from the two large double windows.

Us two lovers were cherishing our moments together.

But wait?

How did this even happen?

Let's rewind back to the beginning.

This isn't my story, this is the story of a beautiful girl, who was more than she looked.

Why am I the one telling this, well... I have some involvement in her story too.

So let's get to it!

9: 34pm
the ballroom

The prince's coronation. The young lad was finally crowned prince of Reigan. Who will take the heir to the throne in the future after the passing of his brother, the current king.

The members of the court and noblemen were invited to attend the traditional event.

The people laughed and spoke of their greatness with one another, greeting old friends and allies, with a laidback approach.

The whole room was guarded tightly as was rest of the castle, but sometimes it's just not enough.

The kings advisor, Lee Taeyong took the stage, " I am honoured to guide this event in place of our beloved king. And now our prince will say a few words."

The Prince took the stage, his eyes wandering through his guests from left to right, then he began, "I'm glad you all have attended my coronation. It is with great sadness I have to say that my brother, the king was not able to accompany me today for he has some work to finish outside Reigan. Please enjoy the rest of the night."

Stepping down, he joins his good friends who were sons of the noblemen, to a friendly chat.

"And how does it feel to finally step up?" His friend asks, putting his fist near the prince's face to mimic a Mic.

"Guys, stop it. Your embarrassing me." The Prince shyly replies, pushing his friends hand away.

"Oh come on. Tell us, do you feel stronger, more powerful?" His other friends rambles like he always does.

"Hmm... nope." The Prince replies,

"Oh man! So that means no special privileges?" His third younger friend asks.

"We already have good enough privileges, is It not enough?" The Prince asks questionably.

"Yea, I know but you know-" he didn't complete his sentence, more like he couldn't.

Tablet were overthrown, people running for cover, as the uninvited guests enter the hall.

Guards immediately rush over and surround the prince to protect him.

While the other guards fight off the intruders.

One of the intruders, approach the guards surrounding the prince and try to fight him off, but ofcourse couldn't win so easily.

Not wanting to feel like a fool, the prince draws his sword and starts to fight off the intruder, signalling the guards to help one another.

After a while, the prince got the upper hand in the fight and going to overthrow the intruder but got distracted and was tackled to the ground with the assassin on top of him.

The assassin tries to slit the throat of the prince, but the prince blocks his arms and pulls his mask of halfway, ending up staring into two ocean blue orbs.

"Retreat." A voice shouted, this caused the assassin on top of the prince to fall out of his trance and escape the palace while possible.

Those blue eyes were one to remember, the prince promised himself.

Stay tuned~
