                         As usual, the royal palace was buzzing with low noises. It was early in the morning and the sun's rays had gently embraced the land making it warm, especially in the north. The servants of the royal palace were starting their usual duties which included cleaning the marbled floors, royal chambers, large halls, pavilions, the royal library, and maintaining the garden. The royal chefs were starting to make delicious foods for the royal family members who were about to wake up. The royal family members included King Jeon Jungkook, his highness's uncle, Jeon Jaemin, and the queen dowager, Jeon Yura. After the death of the former king, Queen Dowager Yura stayed inside the palace handling the palace's internal matters.

King Jungkook's uncle's name was Jeon Jaemin. He had always been in favour of King Jungkook since he was small and helped the king a lot when there was a struggle for the throne. He was one of the most trusted people of King Jungkook and was most loyal too. Even during the rebellion of the king's stepbrother, Jaemin was calm and made a strategy to defeat them. Jaemin had always been a royal advisor of King Jungkook since he sat on the throne. King's success in the ruling was also highly attributed to Jaemin. He was a quick learner and decision-maker. If one problem was raised, he had hundreds of methods to solve them. So, providing the post of royal advisor to Jaemin was one of the best decisions King Jungkook had made in his life.

King Jungkook had already woken up and was sitting on a large couch looking at the sunrise. Among the royal family members, he was the first one to wake up. But it was not for his healthy lifestyle. It was just that he couldn't sleep properly. He had insomnia and only slept for two, or three hours at night. He never had a peaceful sleep because he was afraid of his nightmares which would drag him deep into the abyss. He knew he had been cruel and his hands were full of blood. The people who died at his hands were the reason for his nightmare. He had heard the curses they shouted before dying by his hands. Even his stepbrother had cursed him to rot in the deepest part of hell before dying. Being king wasn't so easy after all.

King Jungkook was lost in his thoughts when he heard someone knocking on his door.

"Enter."

Hana, the king's attendant entered the royal chamber with a silver tray in her hand. She saw King Jungkook sitting on the couch on the balcony. The gentle morning sun rays were basking him and at this time, the king looked so soft and approachable. She then walked towards the king and bowed before him.

"Good morning, Your Highness."

"Hm, morning."

She knelt at the label of the table and started pouring the tea into the cup. After preparing, she gave Earl Grey, the particular tea brand that the king loved to him. King's day always started with a cup of Earl Grey. King Jungkook took a sip and asked, "What are my plans for today?"

Attending the king was never an easy job. They have to prepare for everything. She lowered her head and answered, "Your Highness, after the morning court, you shall have breakfast with Lady Harin in the royal garden's pavilion."

"Hmm... very well." The king said drinking a sip of the tea. "You may leave now."

"Yes, Your Highness." Hana then bowed to the king and left the royal chamber closing the door behind her.

King Jungkook then slowly drank the tea and soon finished enjoying the view outside the royal palace. He stood up and went inside his chamber to get dressed for the morning court. He never asked for his attendants to help him dress and did it himself. It took quite a long time to wear royal attire with a royal robe. He then put on a gold crown on his head and left for the court hall. The two royal knights were walking behind the king holding long spears.
