2020-08-22 15:40:05“Catch him! Don’t let him escape. Don’t you dare come back without bringing the Prince with you,” The King’s voice echoed in exasperation as he forcefully threw the cup he’s holding then annoyingly seated on his throne.
“What am I supposed to do now? I’ve run out of ideas… every punishment that I knew has been given to you but you keep on disobeying me anyway. Do you loathe me that much, my dear prince?” his eyes were sharp, but he can’t deny the weakness in his voice. He then let out a deep sigh as he closes his eyes and rests on his throne.
He knew that he needed to think of the best plan to make his son sensible. He can’t possibly let his countrymen meet his son, who’s going to be the next king of Hanyang, at his playful state right now. What are they going to tell me when they knew about his behavior?
“My dear King, do you want me to call Baek?” asked Prime Minister Jang who bows down at me to show his respect. I stared at him for a while and thought of his plan, if this is the only way to make the prince get back to his senses, then so be it.
“Call him, then. We really have to make some concrete plans to discipline the prince. Bring him to my room and we will talk there.” He stated as he stood up and walked towards his room.
“Okay, then, your highness.” The prime minister bowed down once again. When the King got out of his sight, he asked a soldier to go find him a horse for he will be the one to go in the City of Casib to look for the fortune teller.
“Come on, chase me! You’re too slow.” Minseo playfully shouted, the next King in line. He smiled wryly when he saw that he’s being attacked with a freezing kunai, but he was still able to dodge it. They really have the guts to hurt me, huh? The prince thought to himself. What if it grazed a part of my cheek? My poor handsome face… He worriedly thought again.
He shook his head as he controls the surroundings. He made the time stopped on its track, as well as the air, the movements of the soldiers chasing him. He literally made Earth stopped from rotating in its axis. He was panting hard as he rested on the nearby tree, buying time to regenerate the lost energy. He laughed out loud as he looks at the soldiers.
He hates being chased the most, and he’s been declining the King’s offer to be the next King in line, but the King is persistent. Being Minseo, the playful Prince, he won’t do the things that he doesn’t like. He won’t do the things that won’t make him happy and satisfied.
He laughed hard as he remembered the epic face his Father had when he escaped a while ago. They were eating when the King started talking about passing his throne to him and he doesn’t want to listen to such nonsense so he ran away.
Jun, my brother, could be the next King. Why would he force me to take the responsibility? Sitting on the throne is tiresome. All you do is to command and wait, but the whole country is at your stake, and I don’t like that. He thought to himself.
“The future is bound to happen.” He was shocked to look at his side. It was a girl who’s wearing a black dress and half of her face is covered. “On the next cry of the rooster, the sacred door would open towards the present and you can’t do anything to escape that.”
He annoyingly scowled ah her, “What nonsense are you spouting? And who are you to talk to me that way?” He stood up and went near her, smirking as he noticed that she’s avoiding me to see her face.
“For your information, a mighty and handsome prince like me doesn’t like a mysterious and weak-willed girl like you. If I were you I will now remove that scarf covering your face so I would clearly see your face.” He stated playfully and he earned a sharp look from her in return. What a feisty woman.
“For your information, I am way older than you, my dear prince.”
He got affected knowing that someone knows he’s a prince. Father would surely punish me big time! He tried to recall if he met the mysterious girl before because his fashion style is surely different from the normal girls in Hanyang. They would usually look decent and being rich is evident the way they dress.
“Where city do you live? I have wandered around this country several times but I haven’t met someone like you. And why are covering your face? Is it because of your wrinkled face or is it because you only have three teeth left?” he teased.
“The beauty of an immortal person with royal blood doesn’t wither. The only thing that I could advise you now is to follow the King’s orders. Do not try to change your fate and the things that are bound to happen because you will surely regret it.” And she started walking away.
“And who are you to tell me what to do and what not to? You’re a disrespectful blasphemy!” he shouted and tried to attack her, but she disappeared just like that.
He tried to take her words off his mind but it kept on lingering through his thoughts. What does she mean by her words? I didn’t even know there’s a present world, or was she just bluffing?
“Just make sure that no one would know I’m the prince, or else…” He started looking at the place where she suddenly disappeared.
He smiled wryly and got out of that place. He then brought the time back when he got far from the place where he left the soldiers.
P. S - There are a few more errors after I finished this I will revise it and be reminded that I have two spaces.

He went to the city of Joseon where he had a lot of flings. A handsome face like mine should be put to use.

He thought.He’s the next king in line and no one knows that except the King, the Queen, Jun, Prime Minister Jang, and the loyal people in the palace. He went to a place in the City of Joseon where parties are held every Friday and people were also having fun when he got there.His smile was gone in an instant when people started to stare at him and started whispering with each other. He heaved a sigh. Do I really look that handsome to be stared this way? He asked himself and didn’t mind the attention he was getting. He went to the usual place where he hangs out with Wikyung, Huyan and Kwanghee but he couldn’t find them. Where are my play dolls? He thought because this is the first time they didn’t attend the event. “Maybe this isn’t my lucky day…” He whis

In an instant, the people were gone. He laughed out loud and bit the hand of the soldier covering his mouth. He spitted, “Do you have any idea on how salty your hands are? The next time you do it, I will kill you.” He bowed down as I eyed him sharply.“Hey, you two, holding arms. It hurts. Do you want me to kill you?” they both shook their heads and loosen their grip on my arms. He smirked.“Where would you take me?” I asked.“We’ll take you to the sacred city, dear Prince.” His forehead creased right away. “What am I going to do in Gyeongju?” Geongju is a holy and sa

Truth be told, Grant is my childhood best friend. And apparently, yours truly fell in love with him. If you’re going to ask if he knows about my feelings, the answer would be no. I would never admit it because I knew he’d just get mad at me and he’d cut our ties as best friends.That’s what I see at dramas, the reason why I kept these feelings all by myself. And one more thing, it’s enough that I get to talk to him and that I matter in his life. Though I would feel neglected at times, what’s important is that he’s still talking to me, right?And if I confess my feelings, I bet it would spread like wildfire… because of his fangirls. In that case, his image as a model, actor, and singer would be at stake.Aside from being talented, he’s also smart, but he’s the cold type of person in real life, but then again when it comes to his fangirls, the friendly side of him would be resurfaced. As if his lips are always ready to smile.And that’s okay with me…He kind of had thick and dark brows,

“All right, Kuya!”“Kuya, let me join you in your motorbike!”I stood up and bid my farewell. I walked away from there and bought a juice on my way out before walking myself to home. I forgot that I didn’t have extra money with me.It was already late when I reached home. I stared at my phone and tried to contact Grant but to no avail.I hang up immediately and place my phone inside my pocket.While walking, I heard a guy’s voice near the garbage. I went near to where the voice is and I was surprised to see a guy, as if shocked as to why he’s in the trash.Or was he mentally ill?When his eyes caught me, he smiled at me.I was wondering why he’s dress that way.He’s wearing old clothes probably centuries ago. He has a long hair and is very good-looking. “Such a pity if he’s mentally ill…” I whispered to myself.“M-me? W-what? Mentally ill? Are you crazy?” he shouted at my face. Maybe he’s not mentally ill, just… out of fashion.He looked as awkward as he stated, “Can I go with you?” My

“Where’s Sid?” I stared at the door when I heard my name. I creased my forehead and my classmates pointed me.The guy went near me. He’s a grade twelve student. He placed a small box in my table, “Someone wants to give you this.” Then he’s gone.He’s really weird, ever since. He goes to our room twice a week to give something to me. If not food, then it would be a flower and he won’t tell me who’s giving it.I only know two things about him- he’s Raphael Sabante and he’s weird. I shook my head and wondered what it is this time.The teacher was late for a minute but started to the teacher right away before the discussion ended, she even asked me a question as to which I haven’t answered.I don’t mind anyway, what’s important is to pass. I don’t need high marks.I couldn’t help but stare at Grant’s seat once again, and I was surprised to see that he’s also looking at me, with a lollipop still in his mouth.

I was shocked to see a guy’s back. I see we have a visitor today. I noticed my sister staring at the guy smilingly, so I creased my forehead. I sat down and placed my bag on the table.My eyes widened when I saw the face of our visitor, “What are you doing here?” I screamed at his face.He stopped eating and stared back at me. His eyes widened at the realization, “Hello!” I twisted my lips involuntarily because of that; don’t tell me that he doesn’t know what hello means.“Why are you shouting Sid? Sit down and calm down, will you? Don’t treat a visitor that way. We should actually be thankful to him.” Mama defended the guy as she seated beside Daya.“What’s your problem, Sis,” Daya asked.I chose to ignore her and asked Mama, “What do you mean, Ma?”Daya is now staring at the guy while eating. I promise my face must be looking so awkward right now. He looks like he hasn’t eaten for days and is very hungry.“I went to the market a while ago and on my way home, I passed by the park. I

She met his gaze and eyed him with the same intensity. The prince got affected because those eyes seem so familiar to him, like he saw it before, in a place he couldn’t recall.But he was certain that was the first time he saw her eyes because of their encounter in the forest, she was avoiding his gaze big time.“I order you to tell me their language here. Why don’t I know that?” He asked her. The mysterious girl chuckled, “You’re a prince, but then you don’t have an idea about their language. That’s why you get from always escaping from the palace instead of reading.”He raised his brows on her, “What did you say again? Did you just say that a prince like me doesn’t know a thing?” He shouted and his eyes turned red, an indication that he’s mad. He felt his hands freezing but the mysterious girl is gone and Sid appeared.“Hey moron, what are you doing right here, and why are you talking by yourself? Are you finally out of your mind?” Sid asked him. His hands stopped forming ice spears

We just finished having our dinner. I am also done taking a bath and do the things that I need to do. I sat down at the bed and got the box that Grant gave me.I automatically smiled at the thought of Grant. I opened the box and saw a necklace with a snow pendant."Whoa, it’s cute!” I took a selfie and sent it to Grant with a caption of: Thank you for this cute necklace, Grant. I appreciate.I screamed in romantic excitement, I’m sure I’m blushing right now. Who wouldn’t be when your crush gave you a gift?My phone vibrated and I saw his reply: That’s not the necklace that I gave you.I frowned and replied: What do you mean? This is the necklace inside the box.”Grant: The pendant isn’t snow, its love.I blushed at that, love as in heart? Why would he give me such?Me: Love as in a heart shaped pendant?Grant: No, let’s talk tomorrow.Me: Okay. Goodnight, Grant!”I removed the necklace right away and returned it to the box. I stood up and walked outside the house and I’m about to throw

“What’s going on, Daehwan? The palace soldiers and helpers seem restless. Is there an event?” he asked as he carried his bag in the back where his belongings were. They are going to a place to practice with those who will be the personal bodyguards of the palace.He shook his head and smiled at him. “Today is the day of the arrival of the lady from Lukom,” he said, therefore his forehead immediately frowned.“Lady from Lukom? And, who is that?” he asked.“The lady of Lukom is destined to be the official right hand of the appointed king. As far as I know, she came from the world of the people.”“I just heard about that thing. Also, aren’t the people just inferior? If so, why in the world of people was it taken to be the king’s right hand?” he asked.He shrugged. “As far as I know, it was not somebody who was taken there, but he was like us in the world of the people who live there. It is not possible for human blood to be the king’s right hand. The dear

"Dojeon? Ah, the smallest town? I'm from Gujeong town. Daehwan by the way," the man said and held out his hand to him as if he wants to get to know him. He nodded and shook hands with him.Maybe it's better that he also has an acquaintance here."If you need information about the palace, do not hesitate to come to me because I know a lot about it. But you are not allowed to tell others what I told you. I am sure it will bring a lot of trouble in the palace," he told him so he immediately nodded."Like what?" he asked.The latter approached and whispered at him, "The brothers of the former Prince are here in ..." He was cut off when the Minister called his name."Kim Daehwan of Gujeong town against Lee DongMin of Tiriyu town." Daewhan looked at him and smiled."All right, I'll be ahead of you. I'll fight," he stated and he n

"Are you feeling well now? What were you doing with yourself, child? Have you taken the medicine I put here on your table earlier? Wait and I'll get another basin with water." Sid's Mother was restless, she was confused because Sid is weak and pale lying on the bed. She did not know what happened but her body just collapsed. She lost her appetite, she could barely stand and recover from the excruciating pain in every corner of her body. She was always cold but her forehead was hot. She also checked up with the doctor several times but could not find any reason why she contracted such... such disease. Some medications were also prescribed to her but none of them helped to lighten and improve her suffering. With each passing hour, her body weakens and wither for some unknown reason. She had been lying down for a few weeks and she could not even go to their school. "M-Ma, I'm fine. T-That's enough. Please rest. It's two o'clock in the morning," she said while his body was covered with

"Close your eyes. Feel the breeze. Listen to the howls of wild souls. Open your heart and mind. Talk to them, no matter what happens. The fire in the cloth cannot be lost. Once you lost the fire in the fabric of the cape, the souls will not be able to awaken, and maybe our lives become a substitute. Never let yourself float in the air. More so, convince them to lend you their power," he said so I nodded and started the steps. "Wild souls who side with my Father King I beg you to lend me your powers so I can subdue the enemies who are now staining the throne with blood," I chanted in my mind. I immediately heard whispers. "Who are you? Why is your energy unique?" I heard immediately. The hair on my body grew because of the voice. It was scary and cold, but I ignored it and just kept talking. "I am the heir to the throne of the former King. I am the eldest son of the King Gwang. I beg you, lend me your power. I will make sure that I will use it for good." "As far as we know, the son

I heard her laugh. "What are you saying dependent? You are just another ordinary citizen like me. Also, it's okay if they think we have a relationship, I will accept it wholeheartedly because I love you so much," she said while rubbing my arm with hers, causing me to grin.I have to get used to this woman since she always does this. I will not be able to use my power because the guards will surely catch me. Now is not the right time for them to know that I am an extraordinary citizen.Otherwise, without me, the future of this town is at stake. Not to brag but it seems like that."Can you just don't disturb me now? You know, I have something important to do so don't disturb me. The best thing you can do is go back to your store and work there," I stated in a controlled manner but she just sniffed a

My eyes widen even more as I immediately took a step towards her and embraced her. I always see her in the world of people, cleaning at school. I didn't even pay attention to him after all, but she is the Queen here, and she is my Mother.If I only knew... If I only knew I had seen my real Mother a long time ago, suffering in another world. I would not have longed for her like this. I would not have missed the hug and smile of my real Mother.I cried because of that. This is the first day I hugged her this real."S-Sorry, mother. I didn't know it was you. Why didn't you say that your my mother? Why weren't you honest with me?" I asked her emotionally, still weeping in her arms."I do not want to ruin

When he entered, he smiled. "It's been a few weeks since I was able to enter here to steal delicious food. Now, I plan to find out what's going on inside," he whispered to himself.He immediately walked while eyeing at the soldiers distributed in strategic places of the palace. Some maids were in a complete hurry doing their tasks."What's going on, Yojeong?" asked one of his fellow servants."Dear Prince is back.""What? Dear Prince Minseo?""Yes, that's right. Come, move on," the maids muttered. He looked at them and frowned. Dear Prince is what? Returning? Prince? Minseo?His eyes widened when he realised something. Dear Princ

"All right, Dear Prince. That is still lacking. Add more, you are only releasing little amount energy., " the Minister said while I was squatting, my right palm focused on the tree. All that needs to be done now is to knock down this tree with strength, but I only did a little crack."I don't want to, Minister. I'm so tired. I've been overdoing it. I really can't do it," I complained, still not letting go of my hands. From the moment I turned to him, I swallowed up when I saw his earnest gaze."Dear Prince, we are just getting started. Is this what you want to show to the people who killed your Father King and Mother queen? You want them to just laugh at you?

When he was in the front door, he immediately stood in front of ten palace guards surrounding the gate. He stood in the middle, and it seems that they did not see him."It's okay," he said. He swallowed up when he saw the guards looking confused. Probably heard him."Did you hear anyone speak?" one asked."None.""I heard something. Go around the palace and see if there is any human suspicion. Move! " the guard shouted, so he immediately smiled when only two were left to guard. He went to the side of the wall and immediately climbed to enter the palace walls. He cannot pass through the door because that would make some noise.When he entered,
