...4 Years Ago, Ingrith...

Prince Kai walked in his garden. He enjoyed the refreshing spring breeze. Suddenly someone tapped his shoulder. He turned around and received a huge surprise in the morning

Kai-Naeun!
Naeun-Hi!

Kai pulled Naeun in for a hug

Kai-I've missed you
Naeun-Me too
Kai-Wanna see around?
Naeun-Is Crown Prince of Ingrith going to walk me?
Kai-Your wish is my command

Naeun laughed and nodded her head. Kai gave out his hand and Naeun took it. He led Naeun to the other side of the garden

There was a beautiful entrance to a restricted section which no one could enter but the royals. And today, Kai brought an outsider with him inside

She wasn't just an insider, she was someone he trusted

Kai-Come in
Naeun-Can I?
Kai-Of course

Naeun stepped in after Kai. The door closed by its own, making her jump in startle

Naeun-What is this smell?
Kai-It's that flower

Naeun-WowKai-This is Ingrith's Lily, our sacred flower

Naeun-Wow
Kai-This is Ingrith's Lily, our sacred flower. It is the heart of Ingrith, without it we are technically dead
Naeun-What does it mean?
Kai-It enriches the crops and livestock

Naeun-Tell me more about the flower
Kai-Okay. But not here

Naeun frowned. Kai took her hand and dragged Naeun out. She sprained her neck around, not taking her eyes off the sacred flower

Naeun sat on the bed. Kai handed a glass of tea for her

Naeun-There is only one Lily?
Kai-Yeah
Naeun-Where did you get it from?
Kai-My father retrieved it after he won in a war. The kingdom was totally destructed, no survivors but the flower

Naeun nodded her head

Kai-You are so interested in that flower
Naeun-Huh? No, it's just... Pretty

Suddenly Kai yawned

Kai-I'm so exhausted after all the training and all
Naeun-You trained again? With your brother?
Kai-Yeah. He's a big guy now. And strong too
Naeun-You should rest then
Kai-Join me

Kai grabbed on Naeun by her waist, pulling her down into the mattress with him. She giggled when Kai nibbled her ear

He stopped. Kai looked at Naeun, eyes boring into hers. He caressed her cheeks gently
