Author POV

"Even if I won't be there in the future Please stay away from him"

"Why grandma?" Asked the small Boy

"Because haven't you seen him? He always wear Red gujangbok"

"What is the relationship between the Red gujangbok and the king?"

"A “gujangbok” (九章服) is a ceremonial robe worn by the Joseon king, Jeon Empire and many other Korean empire adorned with nine symbols, either painted or embroidered, representing the consummate authority and virtue of the king."

"The color of gujangbok also determines how dangerous the king is. As the generation get pass down, the color of the gujangbok changes according to the kings personality and power"

"In the past, the color yellow was exclusively worn by royalty and gold was reserved for the emperor. Yellow only means that they are royal but not that dangerous"

"Hanbok colours tend to be bright and vivid, with each color representing a different element: white (metal), red (fire), blue (wood), black (water), and yellow (earth). Hanbok colors were also used as an ancient version of Tinder."

"But red, as it represents fire it is considered the most dangerous"

"But why is he called dangerous?" Ask the boy

"In the past the king had went through a tragic event which  severely affect the king which results to him being like this"

"Will he ever change in the future?"

"Don't know, it will depends upon the future queen who is highly you"

"Why me?"

"Child, you were born on the day of red moon. Red moon is a full moon that coincides with a full lunar eclipse and that has an unusually reddish appearance which appears twice one year but only one child is born in one century. Because they are fated to be the wife/husband of the king. It is very rare fate"

"So as I can sense that the king is very dangerous but you have to be there with him to control his emotions or wise any bad thing can happen"

"But as you are just a child of normal person who doesn't have any royal blood, I can be hard for you. You will have to face so many things which I don't want you to face"

" So you have to avoid your fate. Fate will do everything to keep you two together but you have to avoid him, you have to avoid your fate"

"But I know somehow you will end up with him as your emotions will be larger than life. He will have that power to control your emotions"

"No grandma ,I will not end up with him. You know, him and me, we both have different History so I will let our coming History remain a mystery"

"Okay now let's sleep, it's already to late at night"

This is the reason why they think it is necessary for the king to marry the person who is born on the day of red moon but is it really true or there is something like hidden truth which only royals know.
