Prince Lee Ji-ho

It's really tiring being a prince, every eyes on you: on your next move, how you behave, how you eat, what's you next big mistake, the next reaction or choices you make; its really heard focusing on yourself when you have people watching your every move 24/7.

I stayed outside in my favorite spot in the palace, my mother's favorite spot in the palace which she shared with me,where she and I loved to play and create new adventures everyday, a spot for new memories.

The anger in my heart grow ten years ago, ten years when they took my mom away from me.

"Your highness, the King seeks your audience" Head Eunuch said

My mind still wondering off

"Your highness!" Head Eunuch call out again.

I couldn't help but give him an aggressive glare: I did that often, when I don't want to be disturbed, or troubled, sometimes when I feel the need to be left alone, and now is that time.

The enter royal family knew I had anger issues, they know how aggressive I could get if angered, they knew it: the king, the queen mother, queen, palace maids, the palace guards, the eunuch, the historians and all who dared enter the palace.

"What?, what is it?, why can't I be left alone" I couldn't help but spark aggressively as I stared in hopes of responds.

"Your highness, the King seeks your audience, and he said I shouldn't return without you" he said in a pleading tone as he bowed.

"Hmm" here we go again, what now, what does he want, I couldn't help but whisper it, maybe he wants to remind me how am to respect my step mother: like I did ever do that, she's just here because my father neglected my mother during her trial times and treated her like she mattered less which eventually lead to her death.

My mother was pregnant with my baby brother as she became gravely ill. The the Royal physician tried everything he could to save the Queen and the means was to lose the child but my father advised against it and insisted that the Royal physician should find a way to save the king the queen and the unborn child.

But it became to late to save either of them. I hated my father for the longest time for making such decision and not staying by the Queen's side during those days.

The night she passed away, I felt something in me die and all love for my Father gone.

As a growing child it made my soul dark, learning to love someone dearly, and later on.... forced to live without them and my father made me feel that pain at an early age.

On her death bed; I remember the pain that struck me when I felt her slip away. It was a raining night, and it felt like the weather made the night more grim. I remember how pale she looked, how miserable and lonely she felt before she died in my hands, her lifeless and cold body in the arms of ten year old as he watched the life slip out of his beloved mother and friend.

And how my father, the King cared less and as soon as my mother had died, took to himself a new wife and made her his new queen.

Making me question, if he ever or truly loved her or was it all part of the game, the royal game.

My father's new wife (The Queen) is bent on ruining me; as she sees me as a potential threat and definite adversary to whatever she tends to do in the nearest future.

She and her Father the Minister of War plans and connive to take the Kingdom for theirs and also to make the young prince the heir of the kingdom instead of me.

I won't lie, I love it: how she seems to acknowledge the fact that this is my territory and not hers and my presence as the Prince, the crown Prince was a very important role in the palace and kingdom.

Who knows what she told my father this time; I couldn't but give out an evil smack at the thought of her trying so hard to ruin my image and my father who already hates me. What more is there could he dislike about me.

"Your highness?" He called out with the intentions to draw me back from my thought.

"We should go see my father!" I said to him, with a dark and a mischievous grin on my face.

The eagerness that filled the  palace as I made my way  to the throne room had never been more beautiful, you could say I was a dramatic type; every foot print, every step made the moment filled with climax more exciting, as I got closer to the throne room.

Am the Crown Prince of Joseon and I fear no one.

"Your highness, Prince Lee Ji-ho!"

The eunuch announced my presence.
