Beginning

In the kingdom of Azure, in the darkness of the night, a queen is giving birth to a son under the sacred temple of the goddess Baekhyun. this was the first time that a queen gave birth to a child under the temple, not in the palace.

A loud cry of a baby echoed throughout the temple was heard as the baby came into the outside world, "it's a boy Your Majesty!" One of the midwives who took care of the labouring queen, squealed in delight when the new prince was born.

The king and the queen smiles as they saw the baby, they are overwhelmed in happiness for the blessing they received. The midwife gave the newborn prince to the queen, so that she can take a look for her newborn son.

But suddenly, a bright light that came from the hands of the statue of the goddess in front of them, suddenly shines so bright, illuminating throughout the darkness of the temple. They shut their eyes tightly as the bright light struck their sight, the light was so bright that even the people outside the temple who were waiting for the new prince, also saw the light. Giving them a mix of feelings, the others becomes concerned and others becomes afraid. Afraid of what could it be, could it be a bad omen? Or a good one? while the other people who doesn't give a fuck, didn't seems to be bothered.

After the light faded away and gone, the people inside the temple except for the queen, bowed their heads towards the statue, to pay respect for their patroness goddess. They knew that the light was a message from the Goddess Baekhyun.

"I know what I will name for my newborn baby" the queen said softly dragging back the attention of the people around.

"I will name him after the name of the goddess Baekhyun. Welcome to the world Baekhyun, Byun Baekhyun" she said softly with a smile on her face, and the king who is watching, smiled at the beautiful scenery in front of his very own eyes.

"Mother, what's his name?" Prince Shinwoo asked their mother who is smiling all the time, watching her children adoring their newborn sibling.

"Baekhyun, his name is Baekhyun" the queen said softly while staring at the baby.

"Welcome to the family Baekhyun!" prince Dongmin said with a big smile while eyeing the newborn prince.

"Ok children that's enough for today, let your mother rest for awhile" the king said and the princes and princess obeyed him.

In the royal garden, the princess and the four princes were discussing about the future of their new sibling.

"I will train him so that he can be a great warrior like me" Prince Taeyong said boastly.

"No, you ain't even a good warior. I am the eldest so I want him to become a great scholar like me" Prince Dongmin said nonchalantly.

Princess Baekhee walked in front of his brothers and spoke, "no, he will become a princess like me, I will dress him in a beautiful dress and do his hairstyle" the princess said dreamily as she imagine the things she said just now. "Isn't that lovely?".

"But he is a boy, Baekhee" Prince Shinwoo butted in popping out the bubbles in Baekhee's imagination.

"Ughh so what, who cares? I still wanted him to become a girl, I wanted a sister so I will not be alone" princess Baekhee said irritatedly, and prince Shinwoo rolled his eyes in defeat, he knows his sister well.

The royal siblings continued their chit chat, enjoying the moment and the view while the servants served them as they please.

Meanwhile, far far away from the Moniyan continent, lies a great war between the two powerful empires of the two different continents.

If in the Azure Kingdom where the people shed their tears in happiness as they welcomed a newborn prince, but here in Askati Continent was the opposite. People here shed their tears in sadness and terror as they welcomed the destruction and horror of death. Countless men had fallen on the hands of their enemies, the once beautiful and fertile land is now covered in scarlet blood, dead bodies of the fallen warriors were scattered in the land.

"No!!" The general shouted as the emperor was shot dead by the arrow on his throat, the emperor was now dead and their side is losing. The general as the second in command, commanded all the troops to retreat or else they will be all dead.

They had lost more than 10 thousands of men in this conquest and also lost their emperor, failed to conquer the territory. They underestimated their enemy which is their biggest mistake. And now they will return to their homeland, heads and shoulders low, with nothing on their hands but failure and shame.

Now that the emperor is dead, the firstborn son, Chanyeol who is 18 will be the next in throne.
