Korea, 17th century.

The King of Korea was sitting on his magnificent throne and waiting for the sound of footsteps entering the hall. When the door to the hall opened and the prince's name was announced, a small smile appeared on his face. He gazed in admiration at the handsome man. The man was tall, muscular, and beautifully dressed, and his steps terrified the entire palace. Soon the man appeared before the king's proud eyes. Suddenly the king's small smile disappeared, and he looked at his son with sadness. The son understood that there was something on his father's mind that was worrying him.

Prince: I bow before your majesty.

King: Hello my son, how have you been these days?

Prince: Thank you, Your Majesty. Is there any special occasion for which you have summoned me?

King: Yes, Deny, I have business with you. Have you heard that a war has begun between our neighboring countries?

Deny: Yes, your Majesty. War can have a major impact on our country's economy.

King: That's why I called you. We need to know how the war is going and the only person I trust and believe is you, Deny. You know the languages of both countries. You will go there as a secret agent and bring back information about the progress of the war. Like a common soldier, you will go to the border of the Northern Land. Return in a week.

Deny: I'll do as you said your Majesty.

............................

Prince was returning to his room when two of his soldiers came to him.

Soldier: What did the King say to your Majesty? Are you going somewhere?

Deny: Prepare my horse and weapons. I will go to the North Country tomorrow morning as a soldier fighting on their side.

Soldiers: We will go with you your Majesty, we can't let you go to a war alone.

Deny: No, I must go alone, your presence will arouse suspicion.

..........................

Soon Prince went to his room and sat on the bed.

He is a great soldier who has been educated by the best teachers because he is the future king of the country. He sighs and lies down on the bed. Several servants enter to help the prince take a bath. He refuses them and sends them out. Lying in the hot tub, he tries to rest and closes his eyes. He falls into a short sleep.

A little girl appears in front of his eyes. When the girl sees him, she runs away as fast as she can with a knife in her hands. There was fire everywhere and the trees were burning. The girl was running so fast that he couldn't to reach her.

Suddenly Deny wakes up and feels his heart beating fast. Damn, what a weird dream (he thinks) I suppose I'm very tired.

Deny goes to his bedroom and falls asleep.

The next morning he was ready to set off.

Thanks for reading ^^

Soon Prince Deny set off. Only on the afternoon of the third day did he reach the border. The beauty of the nature of the Northland fascinated him. The green forests, full of moisture, inspired him with special feelings. On a victorious horse, he moved like a brave warrior. At the border checkpoint, he noticed two soldiers. Deny showed his pass and entered.It was already evening when he entered his tent and arranged his things. He lay down quietly and closed his tired eyes without thinking. In the morning, Deny woke up early. He got dressed, left the tent, and headed for the military center.

After breakfast, Deny had a short conversation with several other soldiers.

Soldier: Are you new here? I haven't seen you here before.

Prince: Yes, I've come from another military centre.

Soldier: What's your name?

Deny: My name? Umm, it's Lucas.. I was sent here for a week to help with the war.

Soldier: The war? Hah, don't you know that today we're planning to make a final attack?

Prince: Today? When it will be?

Soldier: In an hour...

An hour later, Deny, like all the other soldiers, was fully armed and went out to attack. With a hesitation, he went out of the tent.

Soon everyone was lined up. The army commander issued his attack order. Everyone moved forward in an instant, and screams began to be heard everywhere. Deny was stunned by the sight before him. Those savage soldiers were attacking defenseless civilians. Screams and cries could be heard from all sides. Deny stood there stunned, his weapon clutched tightly in his hand. Suddenly he heard a voice calling out to him.

Soldier: Hey, Lucas, why are you standing there? Go to that hut and kill people inside.

There was fire everywhere. Deny woke up to a sudden sound and entered. Walking slowly and calmly, he entered and, holding the weapon in his hand, began to look around. There was no sound. Deny strained his ears and heard the sounds of breathing and a rapid heartbeat. He walked towards the sound and stood in front of a wall. On that wall hung a huge rug. He quickly pulled it aside and suddenly a girl appeared behind it. The girl was frightened when she saw a soldier, and she couldn't make a sound out of fear. Their eyes met, and Deny recognized the girl. (This is the girl from my dream) he thought.

He thought for a moment and pulled back the rug. The girl took a small breath and remained in her place.The prince came out of the hut and told the soldiers that there was no one there.The commander appeared before the soldiers and ordered them to enter all the border huts and kill all the disobedients. (I'm fighting on the wrong side , they're killing innocent civilians, I should help them ) prince thought. He grabbed his weapon and started In that chaos, secretly kill the soldiers of the Northern country.
