Year 1324

The sun cast a warm glow over the bustling marketplace as Princess Kim Mi Soo darted through the narrow streets, her laughter mingling with the lively chatter of the townsfolk. She was a sight to behold, her hanbok flowing behind her like a colorful stream, followed by her royal guard. The vendors and villagers all bowed to her in respect, and she greeted them back with a warm smile. Despite her royal status, Mi Soo was known for her kindness and respect, earning her the love and admiration of the people. She was the embodiment of happiness, a princess who genuinely cared for her people.

"Princess, good morning!" an elderly woman called out, bowing deeply as Mi Soo approached her stall.

"Good morning, Grandmother!" Mi Soo responded, bending down to inspect the beautiful jewelry laid out in front of her. "These look so pretty."

The woman beamed at the princess's attention, her wrinkled face glowing with pride. "Thanks to your visit, my lady."

Princess Kim Mi Soo's gaze was drawn to a pendant hanging among the other jewelry. It was a beautiful lotus-shaped pendant that seemed to glow faintly with a soft blue light. Captivated by its ethereal beauty, she carefully picked it up, the cool metal resting delicately in her palm.

"This is ...so pretty," Mi Soo whispered, her fingers tracing the intricate design.
The old woman's eyes twinkled and smiled knowingly as she watched the princess admire the pendant. "Ah, you've chosen a special one, my lady," she said softly, her tone laced with mystery. "This pendant is known among those who understand its secrets as 'The Lotus of Fated Hearts.'

Mi Soo looked up at her, intrigued. "Fated hearts?" she asked, curiosity getting the better of her.

"Ah, my lady, that pendant carries an old legend," she began, her voice lowering as if she were sharing a secret.
"It is said that the one who will wear this pendant will be guided by the light of true love. Two souls, tied by fate, will find each other through the light. But if the bond is not meant to be, darkness will follow them."
