Prologue

A little girl, named Faye, was sitting on her grandmother's lap eating Carambola happily.

The beautiful old lady looked down at her granddaughter with adoration, she caressed the little girl's hair, asking "Faye loves carambola?" The little girl nodded smiling "Faye lovesss it" She said, opening her arms trying to show how much she loves it. The grandmother pinched her small cheeks as she looked at her with love "My Faye is the best girl!" She said with fondness but the little girl pouted cutely and asked "Grandma, what is the meaning of my name?" Her grandma's smile widened hearing her question "Well, I actually wanted to name you Fairy, but your parents didn't agree, so I named you Faye, short and sweet, isn't it?" The little girl smiled and nodded "Yes, it's pretty!"

Faye thought something and asked "Grandma, do fairies actually exists?" Her grandma chuckled but decided not to say the truth as she didn't want to upset her beloved grandchild "Yes honey, fairies do exists" Faye's eyes widened in delight "Really? They do exists? Where do they live? I wanna see them!" Her grandma pressed her lips together and quickly come up with an excuse "Hmm, you can see them one day, when you grow up, okay?" Faye, being the innocent little kid asked "Really? Promise?" Her grandma ruffled her hairs and said, "Promise".

Time Line : 1661

The battlefield was ablaze, cannons thundering, and swords clashing. The kingdom's army, led by King Kim Yujun, fought valiantly against the invading forces. Amidst the chaos, the king swiftly guided his 10-year-old son, Prince Kim Taehyung, through the winding castle corridors. The prince's eyes were wide with fear as he clutched his father's hand.

As they navigated the dark passageways, the sounds of war grew louder. The king pushed aside a tapestry, revealing a hidden alcove. He gently ushered the prince inside, his voice barely above a whisper. "Stay here, Taehyung. Do not make a sound. I will return for you soon." The prince nodded, his face pale, as the king disappeared into the fray, leaving him alone in the darkness.

King Yujun charged forward, his sword slicing through the enemy ranks. His army rallied behind him, and together they fought with renewed strength. The tide of the battle began to turn in their favor, and the enemy lines wavered.

With a final, mighty blow, the king struck down the enemy commander, shattering their morale. The invading forces faltered, and the kingdom's army surged forward, reclaiming their land. Victory was theirs, but at a great cost.

As the king stood tall, his sword still trembling with the force of his final blow, he felt his strength fading. A grievous wound, hidden beneath his armor, had been bleeding profusely throughout the battle. With a weary smile, he gazed out upon his saved kingdom, knowing he had given his life to protect it.

The king's vision began to blur, and he felt himself falling. His soldiers rushed to his side, catching him before he hit the ground. As they laid him down, the king's eyes sought out the castle, where his son, Prince Taehyung, waited. He knew the prince would grow up to be a great king, and that thought brought him peace.

With a final breath, King Yujun closed his eyes, his heart proud of the victory they had won, and the future that awaited his son.
