• 1625, Joseon – Main Royal Palace
*In a big room, a newborn baby opened his eyes.*
(Where is it? Where am I? It looks like an ancient building...The room looks like a private, peaceful space within, designed for comfort, luxury and status. It had wooden floors (ondol), silk curtains, and a beautiful folding screens painted with birds, flowers and trees. The bed was low and covered with fine silk bedding, looks very comfortable for sleeping. The room was softly lit, quiet, and filled with the scent of incense. Every detail reflected prestige and luxury. Wait, I remembered I was followed by a few gang members. They were after my research, the project of my life and then suddenly i was hit by a car, ⁰_⁰ That means I died, then Is this heaven? No wait damn it, why did I have to be dead? I didn't even have a girlfriend. What a terrible fate... Why is it so bad. Huh... Well, whatever. I can't do anything about it.)
At that time a happy and melodious voice suddenly came.
"Kang, my good baby, look at mother, ha ha... He had His Majesty's eyes"
"He inherited your beauty, my queen"
*Who are they ? Their dress... Are they from some historical drama company? Huh? are they talking about me, do i know them , hmm i don't think so, wait! Doesn't that mean... Thank God I didn't die. Then what happened to my body? My hands and feet... I haven't been able to move them properly, they felt small and weak.*
"Waaah, ugh, grr, mmmph, bleh, aah, nnnngh, ehh!" ( hello mam can you, huh! what happened to my voice! )
"Looks like he is very cheerful, my queen, his voice is cute"
"Yes, he is, Your Majesty, he became more cheerful after you came, B- But Your Majesty, what will happen to him if they try to kill him?"
King's face become ugly upon hearing this
"Nothing will happen. As long as I am alive, I will protect him, i won't allow anyone to touch him. He is the future of Joseon. He will live and become a strong king—unlike me, his father. He will become a good and strong king respected by all—*cough cough cough*..."( The king cough blood)
"B-Blood! Your Majesty! Blood! Someone immediately call the royal physician!"
"No, there is no need for that. I am fine. Don't worry too much, my queen. I should leave now. Have a good sleep, my queen."
" But your majesty, Fa-Farewell, and have a good sleep and take care of your health Your Majesty." Said the queen hesitantly.
*What are they talking about? Judging by their words and clothing, that man looks weak, it looks like historical Joseon era... Did I reborn or something? Well Whatever...I feel very sleepy.*
King leaves,
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health. It was the second time today you coughed blood" said head eunuch warily.
"Don't worry too much head eunuch. Head guard."
Answered a middle-aged soldier.
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
"Place your best men for the Crown Prince. Make sure no one can see him without my permission and strengthen the palace sequrity with your loyal men"
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
(King thoughts)
(The Joseon's sky is black. I hope I can hold on... but no matter what happens, I'll try my best to gather as much power as I can for you my child. After that, it's all up to you.)

The king returned to his chambers then went to his study chamber which was big and full of scrolls and books, standing beside the old eunuch preparing tea for the king. After some time the king went to his bed.
........
Few days later, night time,
Few people met in a dark room, sitting in a circle.
"The king regained his courage because of his son,"
"We will break it,"
"But how?"
"It won't be easy,"
"What should we do?"
"Should we take care of the child?"
"I heard he is highly protected, palace sequrity also increased"
A man sitting in the middle of the room heard all of this yet remained quiet. After some time he spoke in a low but authoritative voice, his words were calm and could be heard clearly. He said,
"taking care of the child is not an option"
"King is also in a poor health"
"And Do not forget about the king's brother"
The man stopped then countinue.
"he may be banished but he has his supporters in court. With the young prince it will be possible to suppress him later."
"So we just let the king go?"
"We can't do that"
"Yes,If the king gains the neutral faction's support it will be hard to suppress him,"
"Don't worry," I said. "We can't take care of the child but we still can warn the king,"
"Ultimately it is we who have the real power."
Men's in the room said in unison.
"My lord is wise "
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The room field with evil laughter
Everyone present in the room laughed in unison.
