One week was now over and the prince's got in this week very close.

They spend the whole time together laughing and having fun. Hongjoong was happy that everything worked out. He just wondered if any if them knew about the past ?

Today was a rainy day and they had to spend their time inside the castle. They were in their room and were sitting in a circle.

" I have a question for all of you " began hongjoong " do you know about the past and the war ? Or did your parents talked with you about it ? "

" mine just told me that I had friends when I was younger but they had to follow their schedules and weren't able to meet me again. About the war I don't know anything. Just that it was about the Kingdom shadow" said seonghwa

" I just knew that there was a war. I didn't remembered on any if you and I'm sorry for that. My parents never told me about you and even when the letter came they just told me to read It. They didn't explained anything to me " said yunho.

" me and yeosang only knew about the war " said Wooyoung

" same as us " said jongho

" my parents only told me about the war and that I should never trust anyone from other Kingdoms. There exist a lot of rumors about every kingdom. They never said that I had once friends from the other Kingdoms " said Mingi

" I guess our parents were all acting the same. Mine never told me too until I found a photo book with old pictures of us. They explained me that once they were friends. Our parents were in good term with each other, even with shadow they were in good terms. After we were born we became friends. As shadow started the war the Kingdoms were fighting together but when it was over thr rumors began and their bond fell apart. We never saw each other again. And now our Kingdoms are interacting rarely. " said Hongjoong

" But when they were so good friends, why didn't they try to rebuild their bond or something like that ? " asked Yeosang

" I think it's because they wanted to protect their own kingdom at first. Every royal has the priority to keep their Kingdom save and maybe they wanted to keep us save too "

" that makes sense. But still.. they were in good terms and friends and all these rumors and the war destroyed it. Can't they rebuild it now? " asked Seonghwa

" no, my parents told me it's not so easy to talk with them anymore. Some doesn't want to interact with any other kingdom.. but I got an idea.. "

" a idea to rebuild the bond ? " asked Mingi curious. He knew that his parents were one of them who don't want to interact with other Kingdoms.

" not this bond.. we will create a new one. We are the future of our Kingdoms and we could change it. When we keep being in good terms and close friendships we would be able to get this back " said hongjoong

" it's not a bad idea " said San

Yunho got now a little nervous. He isn't really the future of his Kingdom.

" yunho are you okay ? " asked Seonghwa

" yes, I'm okay. It's just that I won't be the next King. My brother will be the next one and if he doesn't agree with this idea it won't work. He doesn't know any of you and he's like my parents. He doesn't like to have any interactions with other Kingdoms.. " he began to overthink again.

" we will find a solution "tired hongjoong to comfort him.

" I don't think so. He's really stubborn. He probably won't even listen to you. It won't work. I can't even help you to change his mind. None of them even listens to me. You should have asked my brother to come here " yunho stood up and left the room.
