Moonlit Oneus

00:

1 year before,
In the Gunhak dynasty (sorry not sorry)
The Crown Prince and the 2nd Prince looked over their tactician's strategy board.

They sighed finding that this tactician was just as useless as the ones prior.
"If we send the troops or like that...for sure we'll have a lot of bodies to bury."

"But Milord,"

"No buts, leave the palace by dawn. We don't need your services." Ravn, the second prince Ordered as he snapped and turned his back to the tactician.

"Now, brother, say it nicer. But yes, we can't send troops out like this. We'll manage on our own. Thanks for your services." Leedo, the Crown Prince ordered as he wiped off the pieces from the board.

"Yes milord." The tactician said with a bow and left the room to be followed by guards.

"Ravn. What did I say about being nice."

"It's not really something I can do, brother."

Off in the distance,
Balancing on a silk ribbon,
above the lake that surrounded the palace.
Was a handsome young noble,
He practiced his fan dance while balancing and sighed admiring the beauty of the moon.

Hwanwoong,
was his name. There wasn't a lady who didn't know about this beauty. He was the youngest son of his household, given as a gift to the king at a young age to serve as an entertainer in the palace.

However, the king accepted him as if he were a son to him. Raising him equally along with his 3 children.

The two princes and the Young Princess.

Hwanwoong was quite fond of his siblings. Because never once have they dishonored him.

A young maid admired him from afar.
She leaned against her hand as she felt her cheeks flush.

By the docks of the kingdoms shore stood the proud and very gallant lord.
He was known amongst the world as one of the best silk traders.

Keonhee was his name,
A childhood friend of the Princes.
He loved to travel and the scent of the sea.

He pointed at the sea.
"There very far in the distance lies another city, as big as our kingdom."

The other young fisherman never believed him,
It was such a fascinating tale to believe.

Another well known noble was the mischievous boy named Xion. He also happened to be a playmate of the Princes.

In the Palace he served in the Military.
He was almost considered a general due to his amazing skills. He may have a cute face that forms pouts, But he was a wild animal out on the battlefield. He was respected among the older nobles as well due to his witty personality.

The Young Princess sat on her bed as she brushed her hair with her jade brush.
She watched and giggled seeing her maid looking at Hwanwoong.

"Lady Hei, the Young Master Hwanwoong is outside dancing."

"I know Jin Ae. You really like him don't you."
