Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a beautiful princess.

She lived in a mesmerizing castle, constantly guarded by her protective mother, the queen.

In the day, she was constantly pestered, always forced to act mannerly in front of the visiting rulers of neighboring kingdoms.

But in fact, she felt rather bored in the castle.

Especially when there was nobody around to keep her company.

So, when the moon rose up in the sky at night, she often snuck out of her bedroom chamber, hungry for adventure.

The only company she had during the course of her journey, was her dear knight, assigned by the queen to guard the princess wherever she goes.

"What are you doing here princess?"

Her head turns in alert, making the hat on her head tilt slightly off, but she quickly relaxes after seeing who it is.

"Oh, it's just you Tae,"

He raises an eyebrow curiously, before quickly replacing it with a sarcastic, but serious expression.

She was in a strangely different outfit tonight; must have picked it out herself this time. A bag is hanging loosely by her side, strapped tightly over her shoulder.

Just by looking at her, the man already knew her intentions.

"What are you doing out of bed?"

She huffs, crossing her arms.

"The queen can't tell me to stay in my bedroom all the time!" she complains, her voice slowly morphing into a whine. "Please. . . don't tell her this time. . .

. . . my dear knight,"
