CASTLE OF SILLA.
Sunghoon tied his horse to the stable pillar as he took a deep sigh, cold mist leaving his mouth as he did so. Winter's first snow had set upon the land far and wide not more than a day ago. The Prince looked far into the forest, a fine layer of gleaming snow crystals covering each sullen branch. He couldn't help but think how beautiful the snow made every object seem; how the forest looked dead and ugly just a week before due to the change in weather and now, the forest shined ephemerally.
Rubbing his hands together, he entered into the castle to be met by the toasty embrace of the fireplace.
He knocked onto the door, to hear an excited "Enter!" from the other side.
"Good afternoon, my love." Sunghoon spoke with a friendly smile on his face.
"Your nose is quite red. You look like a clown." Aeri laughed as she poked the Prince's nose lightly.
"It's snowing outside, what more do you expect!" He sulked, once more earning a laugh from Aeri.
"I'm only joking. I think you look adorable." She placed a small kiss to his icy cheek, immediately warming the boy up inside.
"So... what is it you wish to do or talk about, my Queen?" The flustered man asked.
"It's something I wish to keep between the two of us only. Seeing as you are not only my fiancé but my best friend. I want to show you something not even my closest workers in the palace know."
"You're scaring me." Sunghoon chuckled lightly.
"Oh dear no, it's nothing of that sort. Come, follow me."
The two lovers headed up towards Aeri's bedroom. As they entered, Aeri requested all staff to immediately leave the room and not stand anywhere near it. This request only grew the dying curiosity of the Prince, who twiddled his fingers in anticipation.
"Watch this." She grinned as she reached the roof of the fireplace, to release a chain and pull it with maximum strength. Sunghoon's eyes widened in pure shock as he saw the back of the furnace lifting just as a gate does.
"Impressive, is it not?"
"Incredibly." He shook his head in disbelief whilst smiling at the proud Queen.
