Moonlight filtered through the dense canopy as a noblewoman, fleeing an arranged marriage, stumbled into the forest. Her dress was torn, her breath ragged. She stopped before a tall, calm man. "Excuse me, can you help me?" she gasped. He studied her, kind yet distant. "How can I help you, young lady?" he asked. She confessed her desire to escape the king. Unbeknownst to her, this stranger was Bangchan, the very monarch she fled. A suppressed laugh escaped his lips before he masked it with seriousness. "Yeah, sure, I will help you," he promised, hiding his identity.
