The Moonlight Curse(Vminkook)
The Mark of Darkness
The Royal Court – Silence after Royal sage’s Dire Warning
The chamber is heavy with tension. The baby lies quietly in the Queen jin’s arms. Royal sage steps forward, eyes sharp with ancient knowledge, his voice carrying the weight of fate.
Royal sage
(with grim finality):
"This child must be cast away… or this kingdom will face ruin unlike anything before."
Kim seok jin(Ore)(3rd Queen)
(desperate):
"No! No, I will not give up my child!"
👑 King Namjoon
(firmly):
"We will not allow such a thing to happen, Royal sage!"
Royal sage
(lowering his voice, sympathetic but unyielding):
"I understand, my King… to abandon one’s own child is not only painful—it feels impossible. But… it is necessary. I did not come to test your heart. I came to prove the truth."
👑 King Namjoon
(Suspicious):
"What proof do you claim to have, Royal sage?"
Royal sage
"Though I have not yet seen the boy with my own eyes… I can tell you this: upon his body, there is a mark. A cursed symbol of a demon's seal—a sign no human child should bear."
Gasps fill the chamber. Slowly, the 2nd Queen sara,unwraps the baby’s cloth to check the Mark
Sara (2nd Queen)
(Fake concern):"My King… it’s true. There is such a mark. Right here…"
The room goes cold. Everyone leans in, terrified, as they witness the unmistakable black symbol on the child’s chest—a swirling mark like fire frozen in ink.
Royal sage
(solemnly):
"As I said, my King. This child was not born to rule. He was born… to destroy."
Mi-re (1st Queen)
(Smirking): "But… surely… there must be another way! A ritual? A remedy? A path to purify the child?"
Royal sage
(pausing):
"There is… one way."
Mi-re (1st Queen)
"What is it, Royal sage? Tell us."
Royal sage
(coldly, unwavering):
"His death. Only his death can prevent the dark fate from unfolding."
The court erupts in chaos. The King stands frozen in shock. Priests whisper in horror. The Queen jin clutches the throne in disbelief.
Kim seok jin(Ore)(3rd Queen)
(shouting, voice cracking):
"No! I will never… never accept the death of my child! He is still just a baby… my baby!"
he clutches the infant protectively and turns, he runs from the court in tears.
