The Battle For The Throne: { Hyewon+Loona }

The Battle Of The Beginnings

The dawn had shone over the castle as Hyeju slept soundly in the guest room where she would be keeping her stay. Soft snores came from the girl in her moon pajamas as the sun continued to shine on her through the small crack of her curtains. Sadly, that relaxation would be interrupted soon...

A loud crash had come from Hyeju's room door and Ryujin quickly made her way into the room, for some reason, with a French horn.

"Time to get up!" Ryujin shouts, then blows into that exact French horn, causing a loud alarm like sound to fill the room. And waking up Hyeju so abruptly, the girl had fallen out of her bed, groaning at the rude awakening.

"I can have you fired, you know?" Hyeju groans, getting up and rubbing her tired eyes.

"Yes, yes I do. But you still need to get up" Ryujin throws the French horn down and begins to fix Hyeju's bed. "W-why?" Hyeju questions, being pushed out of her room by Ryujin to the newly installed changing rooms.

"Incase you haven't forgotten, today is the beginning of the umm...well I don't know...BATTLE FOR THE ROYAL THRONE!" Ryujin sternly says and hands Hyeju her clothes and armor.

"Sooyoung is already ready and waiting for you so we can all head to the field for the archery match. Change and meet me at the front gates, got it??" Ryujin says and Hyeju quickly nods. "B-but what about food-"

"We don't have time for that, Hyeju. I'll sneak some cake from the kitchen ok?? Just go and get changed" Ryujin closes the changing room door on Hyeju.

She truly wasn't going to be getting a break anytime soon.

Hyeju had then changed and quickly ran and made her way to the front gates where Ryujin was. 

"Great, now take this and let's go" Ryunjin hands the girl a small bread bun and the two quickly get into a carriage and are quickly met with Sooyoung.

"Good night sleep, I'm guessing?" Sooyoung asks, watching her cousin slowly drift into sleep. "Yeah, yeah...what time is it?" Hyeju questions as she eats the bread bun in her hands slowly.

"It should be around 6am," Ryujin announces and both Hyeju and Sooyoung's eyes go wide. "Huh??"

"They told you this wasn't going to be easy. Mina wants you both bright and early for training." Ryujin says. "Wait- so the competition hasn't even started yet?? You woke me from my sleep for training!" Hyeju furiously yelled at her servant who had a blank expression.

"I follow the rules of Mina. I'm sorry to wake you from your sleep but before the competition starts at noon, Mina needs you girls prepared" Ryujin says and soon the carriage comes to an abrupt stop and all three girls jump out.

The bright sun bugged Hyeju once again and shined in her eyes as all the girls made their ways onto the playing fields. They had soon spotted Mina and Sooyoung just couldn't hide how livid she was.

"I know what you two are going to say, but I'm not arguing with you today. Now Practice-" Mina was rudely cut off by the sound of two girls squealing at the top of their lungs. Those girls obviously being Jiwoo and Yerim who were having a game of tag.

"Perfect...." Mina says and approaches their ruler, Dahyun, with an uneasy smile and hug.

"Looks like we had the same idea huh?" Dahyun says in the nicest tone she possibly could. "Looks like it." Mina replies and the two share an almost awkward laugh, trying their best to ot let their rivalry get the best of them. This competition was more important than that.
