As the Emperor opened the twelfth page of the biography of his father's love story, he marveled at the beautiful cursive handwriting of his grandmother.
Other's were all smiling, excited to read about, the retired Emperor kim Namjoon, and the Emperor Emeritus seokjin's love life.
Taehyung sighed and began to read. The heading of the chapter was written so elegantly:
"The Mighty and Beautiful Prince of Aranthia."
"In the 15th century, the kingdom of Aranthia was a realm of unparalleled beauty and prosperity, ruled by the wise and just King Aldric and his queen.
The prince, Kim Seokjin, was born with an aura of elegance, beauty, fearlessness, honesty, and power.
His presence commanded respect and admiration from all who beheld him, and his reputation spread far and wide across the lands.
One fateful day, while hunting in the dense, ancient forests of Aranthia, Prince Seokjin encountered Emperor Kim Namjoon, a sovereign known for his strength and wisdom.
The Emperor was mourning the loss of his first queen, and the weight of his sorrow was palpable.
From that day, the prince began to harbor a profound and inexplicable affection for the Emperor.
Prince Seokjin often found himself lost in thought, questioning the nature of his feelings and the societal norms that deemed them inappropriate.
For five long months, prince Seokjin wrestled with his emotions, trying to suppress the burgeoning love he felt for the Emperor Namjoon.
He feared the consequences of such feelings, not only for himself but for his kingdom. However, the heart is a stubborn organ, and Seokjin's love only grew stronger with each passing day.
Emperor Namjoon, too, found himself drawn to the prince. Despite his initial hesitation, he could not ignore the bond that was forming between them.
The Emperor admired Seokjin's bravery, his unwavering honesty, and the kindness that shone through his every action.
Finally, unable to deny his feelings any longer, Namjoon proposed to Seokjin, offering him not just a place by his side, but a name for the love they both shared.
Overwhelmed with joy and relief, Seokjin accepted Namjoon's proposal. He made the difficult decision to leave his own kingdom, a place filled with memories and responsibilities, to live with his husband and their son, Kim Taehyung, in Namjoon's realm.
This union was a personal victory, but it's ruined a political alliance of the both kingdoms.
As Taehyung turned to page thirteen, he read the heading:- The Journey of the Two Rulers.'
The chapter unfolded the trials and triumphs of Namjoon and Seokjin, who navigated the labyrinthine complexities of co-ruling their realms.
"Emperor Namjoon, with his keen intellect and unwavering resolve, complemented the Emperor Seokjin's compassionate heart and strategic acumen.
Together, they faced insurmountable odds, from quelling rebellions to forging alliances that would shape the future of their lands.
Their reign was marked by a harmonious blend of wisdom and valor, a beacon of hope in tumultuous times.
The chronicles spoke of moonlit councils where strategies were whispered, and dawns where decrees were proclaimed with unwavering authority.
Their love, though often tested by the weight of their crowns, remained steadfast-a guiding star in the darkest of nights."
