Jeon Jeongguk p.o.v.

I really hate my life. Why am I treated this way? I am the same as the other princes. I was born as the king's son. So why does no one care? Why am I belittled by people who don't know the full story? These thoughts always linger in my mind always wondering about these things.

I'm smarter than most of the princes, and I perfected my sword fighting techniques. So what do I lack that Father ignores me?

These are thoughts that haunt me as I stroll along with the palace gardens before I bumped into a maid. She quickly said sorry and continued on her way.

I keep walking down the garden path as I spotted Crown Prince Namjoon. I was about to say greet him but was stopped when a lowly servant bumped into Namjoon Hyung. The servant dropped to the floor and bowed and pleaded for forgiveness. I was shocked because no servant ever dropped down and pleaded for mercy before me.

I felt anger boil inside me because of the unjust way the servants have been treating me, but I soon forgot about it as I had to hurry to my lessons with Master Lee.

I walked to the Snow Pavilion and waited for him. One hour pass and then another until it was all most noon. The daily court meeting was over and I didn't know what to do. I saw Lord Byun walk towards me. I quickly stand up and do a slight bow to him. and he bowed back.

"Hey kiddo, why are you still here it's past your regular lesson time? " Baekhyun said

" I'm waiting for Master Lee." I truthfully tell him.

" I just saw Master Lee, and he said this week is your father's birthday so there no lessons for the week," Baekhyun said.

" Why did Eunoch Kim not tell me?" I asked myself.

" Did no one tell you Eunoch Kim is sick so he went back to his family to recuperate," Baekhyun remarked.

" No," I mumbled. I bid my goodbyes to Lord Byun, and I rushed back to the Olive Palace. I opened my doors to my palace and I see a deserted hall. Even though I lived there my whole life it still brought me an eerie feeling when I walk down the halls. I walked to my room and collapsed onto my futon. I really hope that one day my palace will be filled with people and laughter.

Now my only comfort Eunoch Kim is ill and sent away. what should I do now that I'm alone? Fear engulfed me and soon tears that I have kept in for years flowed out. I silently drown in my so-called tears of loneliness.

Unknown p.o.v.

I really pity Jeogguk he would've been a bright child if only it wasn't for the heavens call. For his fate is grander than all of the kings on the throne. He will one day end everything with peace, not war. I will do anything to make sure the heavens will is fulfilled. I swear on the setting blaze of the sun that I will protect the child's fate.

Kim Taehyung p.o.v

I was taking a stroll and I somehow ended up in the Olive Palace. This place, if you were an outsider, will think this is the Cold Palace, but even then it looks even worse than the Cold Palace. I was chuckling at the statement I just made when I heard sobs. It was heart clenching, and it sounded so desperate.

I was curious about who could make such noises, so I went to the doors of the Olive Palace and slowly opened it. To my surprise, everything was tidy and neat, unlike the rumors. I get closer to the sound and I opened the door a little to reveal my brother crying and I felt my heart clench again. He was pitiful and he achieved all his knowledge and physical capability by himself.

I then.realize how much love I was given and how my life was easy going unlike his. I wanted to somehow give Jeogguk this treatment I received and give him a chance of happiness. I quietly close the door when I see a sharp blade in front of my neck. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I was horrified. I have seen assassins here and there before, but all my guard took care of it. I try to turn around, but the blade was so close that if I turn I will get my neck sliced.

" Who are you?" the man said in a deep husky whisper.

" Prince Taehyung," I told him.

" Why are you here." The man stated.

" I heard crying, and I wanted to find out where it came from," I responded.

" It's best to forget everything you saw right now or your life could be at stake." The man said.

I closed my eyes and the blade against my neck was gone. I turned around, but there was no one behind me. I was about to walk out of the palace until I heard someone say 'who's there' in the quietest voice I've ever heard. It felt rude to not say who I was, so I answered Taehyung. I then turned around to see Jeogguk scurrying down the hallway. he did a slight bow and invited me to tea. I declined because his eyes were starting to droop and he wobbled a bit. I bid my goodbyes. and left back to my Harvest Courtyard. I thought it was best to forget Jeogguk in a helpless state, but why would my life be at stake? Was all I could think about.

Jeogguk p.o.v

I really miss mother, if only she hadn't been sent away to the cold palace by Concubine Min, she would still be here and things will be more lively. I looked forward to next week where the palace servants will be switched. I really don't like the servants now, but at least queen dowager gave me servants that stayed in the palace. The queen doesn't even care if I starved to death. I really would hold a grudge against her, but if it wasn't for her I would've already exiled. So I should be glad. Well, I should sleep well since Master Lee isn't here I am going to have to study by myself. I hummed a lullaby to make falling asleep easier.

So how do you like the first chapter? I purple you
