At Jinyowon
(3rd pov)
When Cho-Yeon stood up that morning her face was etched with worry. She had four chambermaids that was assigned to cater to her every need. They were swift to help her with her morning routine.
Cho-yeon was the most popular, spoilt and prettiest girl in Daeho. Her maids stood with respectful faces as one of them was busy getting her bath tub ready ,whilst the others three stood with the most intricately designed handbok dressers to pick from.
She had to pick her favourite. After her hot, fragrant bath filled with herbs and flowers, another maid stood ready at the dresser to make her look beautiful. The last one held a tray of breakfast treats.
Cho-Yeon felt troubled as she soaked in the hot tub. Cho-yeon furrowed her brows as she recalls the strange recurring dreams of a different world, that she had for 3 months. In her dreamworld the people where dressed weirdly, they looked like they walked in undergarments* (pants). They even spoke with a different dialect.
Getting her mom to understand was a different issue. She was just dismissed and was told that her power as a priestess was emerging. She just snorted. Their parent went through a massive tragedy a few years ago. She lost her blind sister who was never found.
She was supposed to be the next influential leader of the Jin family. Their family lived in Jinyowon, a place that stored mysterious items like dangerous relics, and only their family had the magic to protect them. Cho-Yeon sighed deeply. She was forced into an arranged engagement with Jang-uk, a wealthy member of one of Daeho's dynasties.
Jang-uk was very handsome and known as a rebel because his powerful father locked up his magical energy at birth. No one in the region could unlock his energy gate out of respect for his father, an influential leader. Jang-uk's father abandoned him and never returned. Jang-uk was expelled from many schools and places of learning because he caused trouble.
Cho-Yeon liked him a lot but he didn't feel the same way. He refused the engagement, which embarrassed her family.When she sensed that he didn't harbor any romantic notions for her, the rejection hit her hard and left her hurt and devastated.
Jin Ho Kyung was her dear mom.
She was the prominent leader of Jinyowon in Daeho. Their Jin family was led by her powerful and strict mother. She was the one who curried the torch for their family line. They are in charge to control various powerful and dangerous relics. Her mom has been searching for her older sister, Jin Bu-yeon for almost ten years but with no success. It had a great toll on this family.
