Tensions reached a boiling point within the palace walls as the conflict between King RM and Prince JK escalated to a dangerous crescendo with each passing day.


After the last conversation between Tae and Jin, they both tried hard and did everything they could to bring the father-son duo close. But nothing worked and things went downhill really quickly to the point where fate brought the duo to the battleground for a sword fight.

In the grand courtyard, beneath the watchful eyes of the stars, father and son faced off in a brutal duel, their swords clashing with deadly precision.

The air crackled with energy as steel clashed against steel, each blow ringing out like a thunderclap.


RM, fueled by duty and determination, fought with the ferocity of a lion defending its pride.

Against him, JK, his eyes blazing with defiance, met his father's attacks head-on, unwilling to yield to anyone, not even his own blood.

With each strike, the sound of metal on metal echoed through the night, a haunting symphony of violence and despair.


Tae watched in horror from the sidelines, her heart pounding in her chest as she witnessed the brutal confrontation unfolding before her eyes.

"Stop this madness!" she cried out, her voice trembling with fear and desperation. But her pleas fell on deaf ears as father and son continued their deadly dance, each driven by their own inner demons.


As the battle raged on, Tae could bear it no longer. With a courage born of desperation, she stepped between the warring factions, her arms outstretched in a futile attempt to stop the bloodshed.


"Please, you must listen to reason!" she implored, her voice raw with emotion. "This senseless violence will only tear you guys apart. You are family, and we must find a way to reconcile our differences."


For a moment, the courtyard fell silent, the only sound the ragged breaths of those present.


Then, to everyone's astonishment, Queen Jin emerged from the shadows, her eyes filled with sorrow and regret.

"Tae is right," she said softly, her voice carrying across the courtyard like a whisper in the wind.


"We cannot continue down this path of destruction. We are better than this. You are connected by blood, you guys cannot be thirsty for each other's own blood"

Seeing the girl he went through so much for, crying miserably on her knees, along with his mother, tears welled up in JK's eyes, his heart heavy with remorse and regret.


With a heavy sigh, he fell to his knees, his sword clattering to the ground beside him.

"I surrender," he whispered, his voice barely above a whisper. "I cannot continue to fight against my own family."


RM's eyes widened in shock as he watched his son kneel before him, his heart breaking at the sight of his beloved child brought to his knees.


The son who never even cast down his gaze, not for anything or anyone, kneeling in front of me accepting his defeat, shattered his heart to a million pieces. Therefore, he lowered his sword, his pride and anger melting away in the face of his son's surrender.

And in that moment, beneath the light of the stars, father and son embraced, their differences set aside in favour of love and forgiveness.


"Forgive me, my son, for not being able to understand your heart", RM speaks to his son lovingly in a fatherly embrace.

JK returns the hug with the same love, "Forgive me, father, I have learnt my lesson. I am sorry to disappoint you."


For in the end, it was not the strength of arms that won the day, but the power of family and the unbreakable bonds of love.
