In a land far from evil, was a kingdom of joy, empathy, and purity. It was ruled by the same family, generation after generation, all were sons of the royal family who ruled the kingdom. All the people in the kingdom were happy with their lives and their king, they respected and loved the royal family as they were treated well.

The royal family consisted of the king and the queen and their lovely children.

King xiu rang and queen Jeonsha ( author: I put random names, don’t judge :) enjoy the story)

They had 4 beautiful children

Two boys and two girls,

The eldest son Xiu Zemin, the younger son being Xiu Zhou, the elder daughter Xiu jeongLee, and the younger daughter being Xiu Jeongmin.

They were all elegant and kind, but of course kindness doesn’t always last, the Xiu siblings loved each other so much before but now, the throne had sliced through their love, the eldest son and daughter always had their eye on the throne, while the younger just watched them try to get the throne.

The fight for the throne had begun, weeks had passed, and all types of tests had been conducted for all of the siblings; they all performed well, but Zemin and Jeongmin were in the lead after performing well in the wisdom tests; however, the final test, sword fighting, would determine the heir to the throne; after a short wait, the test was administered, and Jeongmin won with 10 points more than Zemin. For a girl, she was rather adept at using swords was the talk in the kingdom. She was finally the heir of the throne, not that she wanted it so bad, but she was fine, she gave her best in the test and she won. But now, the people of the kingdom, turned the tables around, they did not like the idea of a girl being their next ruler, so they told the king, the king didn’t want to lose the kingdom, so he took the desicion of making Jeongmin queen, back. This also included that Jeongmin had to leave the kingdom, which was now being prepared, it was a royal rule if a royal had been considered heir of the throne and the descion was taken back, the royal had to leave the kingdom.

The other siblings were happy, as they can get a chance again. Only Xiu Zhou felt bad for his sister, but he had to stay in the kingdom.

The arrangements were made for Jeongmin to leave. She Carried all her essentials and her swords, she had many custom made swords so she carried all of them. She was given a horse to leave, and she chose her Favorite horse whom she named ‘Xiu Taehee’ but now she was excluded from the family so she named herself ‘ Lee Jeongmin’ and her horse ‘Lee Taehee’. Why Lee? It was Jeongmin’s best friends name, but sadly her best friend and her whole family had died while traveling to the north in a ship. Her best friends name was Leemin. She was always loyal to Jeongmin and Jeongmin trusted her very much, they were pretty much like sisters.

Jeongmin had now begun her journey towards a land she knew would accept her with warm hands ‘hanikoni’ a huge town in a non

conquered island. She didn’t go there to conquer it, she went there to stay with an old lady whom she called ‘Arikoma’ means grandma in the local language of the town, she learnt it to communicate with the locals, she found it quite fascinating. Arikoma wasn’t her real grandma, but Jeongmin considered her more than that, Jeongmin’s real grandma never cared about her, while Arikoma loved her, with all her heart.

Jeongmin was still traveling, being aware of the dangerous route she is going through.

*growl*

What will happen to Jeongmin?

*growl*

“Hmm, otana? Is that you?” Asked Jeongmin

A dark black tiger came into her sight, and the tigress shifted to her human form, she looked ethereal, with long black hair that shine under the moon, with deep black dress, and her blue eyes glimmering as well.

“Yes it is my queen” the rare black hybrid tigress said.

“Your majesty, I would like to welcome you to my animal kingdom, Plato” otana said softly

“The pleasure is mine otana, and thank you for welcoming me, I hope I can spend the night there” Jeongmin replied

“Your majesty, you shall not stay only for the night, you should stay there for as long as you are here” otana said

“Otana, that would be too much, I wouldn’t do that, you work hard enough anyways, serving me would just be tiring” Jeongmin said

concerned

“ it’s ok your majesty, I insist” Otana requested

“As you say so” Jeongmin replied hesitantly

As soon as they reached deep forest, Otana said

“And we’re here at Plato, please follow me to your castle your majesty”

“Castle?”

“I prepared a cave for your arrival, it is at top the highest peak we have here, it isn’t too high, and the view from there is extraordinary”

“ok, when did you prepare it, I never sent you a letter, that I was arriving”

“Princess, I prepared it when you were very young, I thought you were going to stay longer that time, but you had to leave, and since then it hasn’t been used, though I will have it cleaned right now”

* Otana whistles and a pretty lioness and wolf came in, greeting Jeongmin and Otana, they transformed into their human form, they also looked absolutely stunning, the lioness and deep orange hair, and wore a yellow dress, while the wolf had short straight deep silver hair shining under the moonlight, and wore a white top and black pants*

“ weihen, Clean the highest room for our majesty, and Somin get some fresh food and water, and few pairs of clothes, oh and all daily

essentials”

“yes Otana” both replied together

“Otana?” Jeongmin asked

“Yes, your majesty”

“Don’t call me ‘your majesty’!”

“Then?”

“Call me Jeongmin”

“Ok Jeongmin”

“Otana, the room’s ready!!!” Shouted Weihen

“Let’s head there Jeongmin” said otana

Both of them slowly walked toward the room, it was a 5 minute walk, on the way Jeongmin had seen different types of plants, she had never seen before, Otana told her they were medicinal plants, and they only grow here out of places, because, this area had the perfect soil and coolness for these plants to grow, and there is a bridge, connecting her room to the waterfall, there were 4 waterfalls in Plato, and this one was reserved for whoever lives in the highest room, and that was Jeongmin, so the waterfall was kept for her, never used from over 5 years, Jeongmin was pleased to know how otana remembered all the small things about Jeongmin. Finally they reached the room.

“Please rest Jeongmin, you look tired, I will send some food through the carry basket *carry basket according to me, is a basket tied to a rope and food/something is kept in the basket, and can be pulled from the window through the rope, and get the item*” Otana said

“Ok otana, bye, see you tomorrow”

“Bye”

As told, the food came from the carry basket, the food served was a vegetable soup, and some boiled sweet corn

Jeongmin ate and was feeling sleepy, so she laced down on the huge bed, and slept

* whats gonna happen now, will Jeongmin be safe?*
