Far far away in a Provence that's amazingly far away from wherever we are suppose to be, there was a humble village which was surrounded a precious eclectic castle. It was a puzzle of Greece literature, baroque but most of all inspired by an ideology focused on the health of the folks and forbidden romance. Although their nearby villagers were known with the 'favourite things' of the prince, young Lucas would marry a princess. She was a flawless beauty, sweet as a hummingbird and as tall as the average letter box.

Prince Lucas knew what he had to do to protect his future kingdom, but what they didn't note him was that sweet little Yundo had a brother.

"Behave at least a bit formal, would you!" Mother highest suggested while the prince finally got rid of the annoying piece of garlic between his right upper teeth. "Oh mother,, who would know that I, prince Lucas the very first, would be baring 'the' despicable urge to have an in-the-detail cared presence every now and then!" He exclaimed while finding his way to his favourite canine. "As long as you won't choke on so many words at the time, I'll trust you...". The meeting is tonight. While Lucas the very first was busy with his numerous substeps routine, the princess got 3 anxiety attacks from seeing her dress, the rules she had to progress AND MAINTAIN, but most importantly... the confrontation that she must do this first step towards her engagement...alone. Yundo never did anything on her own. Somehow her older brother John managed to keep an eye on her. If there was a count-bar for every time little Yundo fell into the royal river, damn. "You just want me to knock expensive statues over or, or get an infection from some colourful liquor!" "Yundo, someday u will be an even more independent grow up woman than you already are and then you must control your own knocks overs and consumptions!". "Not yet! Im 17! My inhibition neurotransmitters aren't fully developed yet", "Will they though?" "John!" "Oh! Don't worry little one! It's just a small ball. You can handle this blindfolded!". And so she did. The brave temporarily blind bride-to-be stumbles confidently through the courtyard on her way to whatever she bumps into. She knew how to manipulate his brother just fine. "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! A DUMBLY STEPPED FLAT SISTER!?", the siblings had a mother too. "She must learn it one time" "IT WILL BE HER LAST WITH THIS KIND OF LEARNING STRATEGY!!" "I wasn't invited" he smirked. She gave up. The woman had to bear one after another stubborn child, she knew her limits. "Okay then. Since you will be the last one standing, for now. Would you like to help me with those ulcers on my back? There really itchy...". "For sure mom". And so he did. But during the last few scratching trials a little crying monster came in. "For heavens sake John, go with her".... "You know, maybe they have lemonade and funky straws and..." "Shut up" 

The theme of the SMALL ball was 'the dark ages'. Rude to call out after a melancholic period in history that ended just 2 months ago! Yundo knew what to wear for this occasion. The fashion-queen herself has been searching weeks for the right fabrics, pattern... to bad it fell in the mud. At least she could still show her dance moves in one of her other favourite dresses. Her brother, proudly in his casual bordeaux tuxedo, was ready for a night of guarding over his little sister with the thoughts of all the possible horribly fun scenarios. "So what am I suppose to say: husband, sir, prince?" "Prince" "Okay". And what if he calls me by my christian name?" "Just mirror his action" "What if he scratch on his butt" "Yundo!" "Do I need to find that disgusting? Or am I allowed to scratch too... you know...help my to-be hubby so he know he can rely on me?" "What do you think" "That we arrived" Pilot the driver interrupted.

It was a small ball in a huge classic castle. Everything looked bleached: the walls, the statues, and the rest of their furniture, except for the piano. The black winged beauty shined at the back of the guest place. And we haven't even started about those huge prestigious stairs. The also have guards that refuse to let our great big brother in. "But I'm the brother of princes Yundo" "She will do just fine, sir" "Yeah sure". Plan ivy. "How can a castle like this NOT have overgrown ivy?!". But they do had a primitive trampoline close to one of the flamboyant balconies. "Now what do you know, these clothes can handle more than I expected! And now I-" as he was trying so hard to finish that sentence, steam came out of a half open door across the room he just jumped in. A young man strived out of the steaming bathroom knowing damn well the party already started, theoretically. Because the party wont start till he shows his face. While the rushed party planner was searching for a decent costume, John had no single plan of escaping ready, but did find a reason to stay a bit longer in this very unlocked room space. This roman god was no other than prince Lucas, the actual. "The Actually Confused. How did you get in here?" "The trampoline. Gotta run" "Wait, what's your name?" "Brother in law, unfortunately.".
