Live for the Emperor, forever
A crystal palace holding future wishes,
build from mirror finish glass pieces,
embellished with plentiful multicolor lights,
whose shine can catch viewers sight,
inside the hall, spiral staircase to step up high,
to reach our ever-dreamed colorful sky,
decorative glassware trees, leaves, and flowers,
adorned with colorful fairy lights, glares.
Glassy clear water flows in an artificial fountain,
originated from a circular mirror domain,
all are ornate with myriad colored lights,
bright scene of glossy glass and colored lights,
the brightest royal palace in the prismatic finish,
where eyes will get stunned in wonder bliss,
welcomes all with bright future promises,
none will decline from entering that premises,
Wonderers of the wonderful paradise-palace,
stunning to nàked vision, may give solace,
yet, its glamour is indigent of stones mercy,
less breathable is its future transparency,
these shiny crystals and brilliant colored lights,
as far as considered fancy, remains bright,
may drop you on the ground in scattered parts,
you'll be left to behold the remnant trash.
Far from a chaos of living and grave disasters
There is the marble table and the flower vase upon it
In an orchard grove where dreaming in soft sunshine. He is lying beside the fireplace. The sound of flutes
Is smooth and distant as from boys young lips
And the world breathes easily to all enchanted.
The king's beloved husband is taking deep breathes as he is going to give birth to soul he and his husband, the Emperor has created with utmost love
And the day rising over purple mountains
Foretold another clear morning, the noises
are musical and pure and most unearthly.
Splendid gardens, white buildings, quietness beside a stream-
Every soul in the entire palace is busy today as the time has arrived for the youngest king
There is this little boy with long hair and stars in his eyes noticing everyone going to the King's bedroom which has now turned into a hospital room
A few servants are rushing towards the room but this boy is standing in the middle of their path so he gets scolded twice
He is approximately 4 years old
Wearing cheap black t-shirt underneath a tattered dirty sweater and pants which is so dirty and worn-out that you have to use your wild imagination to guess it's color
That little boy has curious bambi eyes, the delicate tones of his eyes glisten
a seared sincerity
as anyone's fragile heart heals
He wants to know, what's actually happening in that room
though all servants aren't allowed to enter that room but he is the youngest servant and he is sure no one is going to notice him
With every little step taken by his little feet bring him infront of the biggest room of the entire palace
the master bedroom, the deceased king Hansung's bedroom
whose omega husband, is going to give birth at any moment
King Hansung died in a car accident when his husband Jimin was 6 months pregnant with this child
The kingdom is expecting Jimin to give birth to a prime alpha child as king Hansung is no more.
The rightful heir of the throne has to be a prime alpha child
So, this little baby is outside the closed door of the giant room
and suddenly he has heard a voice of a baby
He can hear loud cheer inside the room
but hurried footsteps as well
he hides behind the vase which is placed
opposite to the door of the room
but when the door is being closed
just a fraction of second
so much light in that room
someone is holding a little bundle of joy
this little boy has forgotten how the warmth feels -
A little baby like him who’s always seeking out the rain.
this newborn has seeped into this boy's life like a sunrise,
With a feeling of something this 4 years old really can’t name.
It’s blooming in his chest
And spreading through his bones;
When he notices that newborn's almond eyes and golden hair it takes everything for the boy to not look away.
newborn was crying a few minutes ago but now his eyes glittering with something golden
Something real and deep
Something glowing beneath the pain. This boy has been facing pain as an orphan servant.
this orphan boy is called
Once he was Jeon Jeongguk
he is 4 years 3 months old
The door being closed again
and little Jeongguk is still there waiting to get a glimpse of that angel
who has just arrived in his Eomma's embrace
Little Jeongguk notices behind him there is a big picture of deceased king Hansung
It was taken when he was 18
Jeongguk has seen the king before
he has witnessed the news of king's car accident too
and mourned with the kingdom as well
Today, their country is legally a constitutional monarchy. That is, their country has an emperor, the Heavenly Sovereign, who is nevertheless not technically the ruler of their country. Rather, their country is a parliamentary democracy wherein the representatives of the people establish laws and guide the country's path.
The picture is almost touching the ceiling
and king Hansung was as vast as the universe
that king was like open sky
or sky full of stars.
The edge of the universe doesn't seem that far.
Riding saturns rings all the way.
while passing this man, the moon smiles and a waves.
Anyway finally Jeongguk notices Queen mother coming to his way
Basically coming to the king's bedroom
A few servants hurriedly open the door for her and immediately close it
with his big curious doe eyes trying to know what's actually happening there
somebody else has arrived
followed by a few servants and 3 other men
He has heard about these people
they are the messengers of almighty
he has seen them before too
even after king Hansung's death
but before entering the room
The eldest one among these 4 men
takes a glance at Jeongguk
with a smile plastered across his face
Jeongguk starts rubbing his both hands together as it's too cold today
it's snowing and Jeongguk hates winter
He doesn't have warm clothes to wear nor soft bed to sleep
older servant kids don't let him sleep with them nor let him sleep on futon
atleast they have parents, their parents work in the palace as well but Jeongguk has none.
he too wants to play outside this palace like other kids
Aurora mirrored in the fresh snowfall, and his eyes
a rose sapphire of hope on a soft
and silent wintry morning.
Here, in this quiet village,
where children enjoy sleigh rides
and fresh snow cream,
tired little minds dream fantasies
of the coming holidays and
the tasty sweets that will be
hidden in their stockings by Santa and his elves till Jan 1st.
but Jeongguk won't get sweets
He knows Santa gives every gifts
but he didn't give Jeongguk anything
Rather his father has become a star now
and Jeongguk has never seen his eomma before
Jeongguk wished gloves previous year as his little hands gets cold easily.
but Santa didn't give him any
King Hansung saw him and gave him 3 white chocolates
Suddenly Jeongguk notices sound of people crying
Jeongguk knows it very well
like his father or king Hansung
that sound is coming from this room
and suddenly the door again opens before his eyes
She holds Jeongguk's tiny lithe dirty wrist and starts dragging him inside the room within a second
In the room the first thing Jeongguk has noticed
his long blonde hair is touching the ground elegantly
Jeongguk has finally seen
wrapped in a white blanket
Jeongguk hasn't seen something so beautiful
Jeongguk himself is so tiny
but this one is even tinier than him
Jeongguk's appa became a star previous year
but before that his appa used to tell him a lot of stories
there is a ruler of sky, star, sun and moon
If one day he comes to earth
Jeongguk will immediately recognize him
sun has kissed his skin and covered him with magical glitters that's why his skin looks like that
moon has created his lips, he has taken century to create those lips
azure has squeezed out last drop of its blue color to create his blue eyes
The stars gave him a crown and said
" this is your kingdom to rule "
The first word Jeongguk makes after seeing that baby is
nothing is more beautiful than sky
but this baby is more beautiful than the sky
more beautiful than the pain Jeongguk suffers after getting beaten by other servant kids
like his father said before
but finally Jeongguk has noticed the room
intricate golden designs on the walls
and most importantly the room his warm
Jeongguk hasn't seen something so extravagant like this room before
She takes a glance at him and says
Kim Eun Jung
You are saying this boy
She takes a deep breath before continuing
Kim Eun Jung
this omega boy is the one who can save my grandchild
Kim Eun Jung
The heir of this kingdom?
Kim Eun Jung
not even me!!!
Monk Shenzu
For almighty everyone is equal
Monk Shenzu
you think, he is the lowest but I can see future queen of this land in him
Monk Shenzu
Your grandchild has born with the shortest lifespan
Monk Shenzu
and if you want to save your bloodline make him someone else's best half
Monk Shenzu
his better half or I say his best half will bestow him each breath
Monk Shenzu
and only this boy can do so
he points his finger at Jeongguk
and a thin line of nasal mucus can be visible on his face
he immediately wipes it with his sweater paw
queen mother frowns immediately at the sight of it
Kim Eun Jung
you mean this dirty bo-- are you sure?
Monk Shenzu
Almighty knows the best
Kim Eun Jung
what if one day my grandchild's mate comes?
Monk Shenzu
there is someone above fate
Monk Shenzu
universe will bow to your grandchild's feet
Monk Shenzu
and if he wants
Monk Shenzu
he will make someone like this boy the only source of your grandchild's each breath
Queen mother gazes at her deceased son in law
who died right after giving birth
King Hansung and his omega husband Jimin
and their last heir has already arrived but he too might stop breathing before reaching his adulthood
The royal bloodline will end then and there
she has to keep her grandchild alive
Jeongguk doesn't understand anything
he is trying so hard to hold that baby
tip toe with his little feet to peek at ' his sky '
" Do you want to hold him child? "
Looking up towards the source of the
voice, Jeongguk sees the old man, cladding in saffron
scarfed and chougu with a string of
beads in his right hand and a bunch of white flowers in his another
hand. His head is shaven, yet it hasn't
decreased the ethereal aura from him,
rather the calm pleasant genuine smile
over his face somehow brings little
pace in Jeongguk's heart,
Monk Shenzu
Do you want to hold him child?
Jeongguk immediately nodes
The old man crouches down to Jeongguk's level
Monk Shenzu
From today onwards he is yours and you are his
Monk Shenzu
Yours, only yours
Monk Shenzu
almighty has created him just for you
4 y/o Jeongguk
Will he play with me?
Lee Mi Sun
Why would his highness play with yo--
Kim Eun Jung
Mi Sun!! stop it
Lee Mi Sun
Apologise, queen mother
Monk Shenzu
Not only play he will create home with you.
He caresses Jeongguk's head
and leaves the room followed by 3 more men
Little Jeongguk doesn't know they are monks
The next thing Jeongguk hears
Queen mother giving orders to arrange cremation of the king's omega husband
and Jeongguk to get ready for the wedding
Jeongguk is too little to know what wedding is
he gets to wear white silk hanbok
His jeogori and bahji both are little loose, magoja too because he is too thin to be true. Royal servants didn't have enough time to make perfect fitting hanbok for the ' future queen '
but Jeongguk likes the little charm
like the white peony that monk was holding
Jeongguk too given a bunch of white peonies to hold
his little hands get to hold flowers after so many days
servants have made him bath with scented soap, then washed his body with milk and rose water
they brushed his hair and added a nice hairpin too. They have applied moisturizer on his dry skin, scented strawberry pink lip balm too. Jeongguk can't help but l!ck his lower lip and wah, that lip balm taste like strawberry
he gets to eat chrysanthemum cookies too
and he shows these to his hyungs who beat him or snatch his foods often
Jeongguk notices the newborn is being carried by the queen mother
Mi Sun and Queen mother along with Jeongguk go to the temple
Bodyguards are standing outside the temple
while some rituals are being held
Jeongguk doesn't understand anything but his gaze is fixed at the new born
Little Emperor's blue eyes are watching Jeongguk's ever movement as well
His tiny hands are near his mouth
flaky skin of the newborn can be seen
even smaller than Jeongguk
and it's really fascinating for Jeongguk
he wants this baby to grow faster
After sometime Jeongguk is asked to bow before almighty
he thought he would be allowed to hold the newborn
which hasn't happened till now
comes closer to Jeongguk again
Monk Shenzu
May almighty always be there with you while you protect this king
4 y/o Jeongguk
Am I his bodyguard now?
he takes deep breath so that his nasal mucus should not slither now
he can't wipe it now, right?
Monk Shenzu
You are his every breath from now on until you stop breathing
You will share your breaths with him and your half soul is inside him
Monk Shenzu
you will understand when you grow old
Monk Shenzu
Emperor's Peony
Monk Shenzu
Live for the Emperor, forever
Thus starts the journey of the Emperor and his Peony
