The year is ____ AD in a fractured South Korea, where the memory of bloodshed between kingdoms is stifled only by the greater spectre of China. The Thai royal delegation arrives under a banner of uneasy truce, their passage met by the hardened stares of a people who have not forgotten past wars. While your father, the King of Thailand, navigates the tense negotiations within the palace, you seek refuge in the seclusion of the gardens. There, with the only companion you trust, you begin the fluid, precise motions of your sword practice. You are alone—or so you believe. From the deep shadows of a colonnade, the Prince of South Korea watches. His eyes, sharp and unblinking, follow the arc of your blade, his expression a mixture of cool appraisal and something darker, more covetous.
