The Curse Revealed
The Royal Court – Moments After Royal sage Enters
The grand court stills as Royal sage steps forward, his voice cutting through the chamber like thunder.
Royal sage
(firmly):
"This is false. Impossible. None of these glowing claims are connected to the true horoscope of the prince. These so-called priests are feeding lies to please the King. What they read is not divine truth—it’s fiction. Fabricated to win your favor, O King. They fear you."
Gasps echo through the court. The Jin tightens his grip on the baby. The King’s eyes narrow.
Royal sage
(grimly):
"The truth is… this child was born under the darkest of omens. His horoscope bears not just signs of misfortune, but the very essence of demonic forces. His soul is touched by the cursed shadow of Amavasya(New moon night)—he is a harbinger of destruction."
Namjoon slams his hand on the throne’s armrest and stands abruptly.
👑 King Namjoon
(shouting):
"Royal sage!"
Royal sage
(unshaken):
"My King, do not let anger blind you. Hear the truth. It is bitter, yes—but it is the truth. I was compelled to come here the moment I sensed this cursed birth. While you rejoice at honeyed words, you do not see the storm this child brings. He was born in a time when only dark souls take form. The signs are unmistakable. He will be the downfall of this kingdom."
👑 King Namjoon
(furious):
"Enough! Royal sage, you go too far! This is a moment of joy—and you poison it with fear!"
Mi-re (1st Queen)
(Said calmly):
"Peace, my lord. Let the royal sage speak. Let us understand what he truly means."
Royal sage
(turning to her):
"Queen, I know what this child truly is."
👑 King Namjoon
(sarcastic):
"If you knew, Royal sage, you wouldn’t spew such ominous nonsense on this sacred day. Consider the consequences of your words."
Royal sage
(stern):
"Then you must consider the consequences of ignoring them, my King. I warn you once more: cast this child away before it is too late. Rid yourself of him… while you still can."
Sara (2nd Queen)
(Stepping forward):
"Cast him away? This child was not found on a roadside! He is a prince of royal blood. Royal sage, what are you truly implying?"
Royal sage
(harsh, final):
"I mean this: banish the child from the palace. Let him go far from here, and the evil that clings to him shall weaken. But if you keep him here—if you raise him in the heart of the palace—then his fate will become the fate of us all… and Utopia will fall."
Mi-re (1st Queen)
"But how… how can we simply give up our son?"
Royal sage
(coldly):
"Do not let motherly affection blind you. Queen, renounce him. It is the only way to break the dark grip of his birth."
