Guard Bow and Said "My lord, a young man has come seeking a servant position. He requests an audience with you."

King : "A new servant, eh? Very well, have him come in. I'll hear what he has to say."

The guard nods and leaves to fetch the young man, while the King sits up straighter on his throne, preparing to receive the potential new servant.

The young man has fair skin, contrasting against his black hair, which is cut in a neat, practical style. His brown eyes are sharp and observant, while his bunny teeth give his face a slightly mischievous look. Standing at 5'10", he's lean and agile, giving the impression of a person who is used to physical work. Despite his obvious poverty, he carries himself with a certain dignity, his determination evident in his eyes

Jungwon


The King, noticing the young man's appearance, motions for him to rise from his bow and speak.

The young man, straightening up, clears his throat and speaks with a quiet but resolute voice,
-"Your majesty, thank you for agreeing to see me. I am Jungwon from Gojoseon (Old South Korea) and I've come seeking a servant position at the castle."

The King nods, studying the young man thoughtfully, and replies, "You say you're from Gojoseon? That's quite a long way from here."

Jungwon nods again, "Yes, your majesty. I have traveled for many months in search of work and a new chance at life. I was told that the pay and conditions here in the castle are much better than elsewhere."

The King quirks an eyebrow, "And what is your background, if you don't mind me asking? Do you have any previous experience serving?"

Jungwon takes a deep breath before responding, "Your majesty, I have worked as a farmhand and a laborer back in my hometown, Pusan(Busan old name). I helped my family with their small farm and learned to work hard from a young age. While I may not have formal experience as a servant, I am familiar with hard work and following orders."

The King considers the young man's words, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. He can see the determination in Jungwon's eyes and the callouses on his hands evidence of his hard work. After a moment, he nods, "Very well, I will consider your request. But first, tell me something..."

Jungwon looks up, hope lighting his eyes. "Yes, your majesty? Whatever you wish to know, I will answer truthfully."

The King leans back in his throne and asks, "What prompted you to leave your homeland and travel so far to seek work? Is there no opportunity for you back home in Gojoseon?"

Jungwon pauses for a moment, a shadow crossing his face. "Your majesty, the truth is, things have grown difficult back home. Drought and plague have hit my village hard, and many families, including mine, have fallen on hard times. I have come here in search of a fresh start and a chance to support my family, who are struggling back in Gojoseon."

The King nods understandingly, his expression softening. "I see. Your devotion to your family is admirable. And tell me, what makes you believe that you would be a good fit for a servant position here in the castle?"

"Your majesty," Jungwon replies, his voice growing more confident, "I may not have experience as a servant, but I am hardworking and willing to learn. I am disciplined and take instructions well. I know how to be discrete and respectful, and I am loyal and steadfast in my duties. I am also quick to learn and adaptable to new situations."

Queen Chuckled softly and said, “He looks Innocent and Kind, why you are Asking many Questions haha. Hire him”

The King smiles at the Queen's words, amused by her enthusiasm. He turns back to Jungwon and says, "You hear that? The Queen seems to trust your character, and I am inclined to agree. Very well, Jungwon, we will give you a chance. You shall be assigned to work under one of the head servants. They will teach you the ways of the castle and your duties. Welcome to the castle staff."

A look of relief and gratitude washes over Jungwon's face, and he bows deeply to the King and Queen. "Thank you, your majesties. I will do my best and prove to be a worthy employee, I swear it!"

The King nods, "I have no doubt about that. Report to the Quartermaster, he will assign you a uniform and show you to your quarters. The Queen and I have more matters to attend to, and Yes, My Eldest daughter Jyasmin and Youngest Son Dhurve, And My Mother Room in Upstairs, If they need anything you have to do your work”.

"Of course, your majesty," Jungwon replies respectfully, bowing again. The King and Queen rise from their thrones, signaling the end of the audience, and Jungwon takes his cue to leave.
