ForewordchaRACTERS:Song Gaya - Noble lady of notable beauty.- Song households only daughter.- Elegant and graceful yet childish at times.- 16 years oldLee Hoon- Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Shilla.- Arrogant but excellent warrior and wise tactician.- Is dedicated to his duty as crown prince- 18 years old.Lee Min Woo- Second prince to the kingdom of Shilla.- Bright and uncaring of his position.- Treats everyone equally.- 17 years old.Song Yun Ho-  Minister at the royal court.- Song Gayas half-brother.- Extremely ambitious, cold and calculating.- 26 years old.Lee Daera- Daughter of a high ranking minister.- Raised to be Queen.- Can never forgive anyone who has wronged her.- 17 years old.Hyang- Gisaeng at the choonhwagwan.- Always serves Song YunHo.- Is close with Song Gaya.- 21 years oldEmpress Hwa Seon- Mother of Lee Hoon.- Will do anything for her son.- Hates people who question her.- 43 years old.The story is taking place in Shilla, which was one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea and also one of the worlds longest sustained dynasties.                                       The palace had a strong hold on its people and the people revered the royal family.                                                                                                                       Beautiful girls would often enter the palace in hopes of gaining the attention of the royals.                                                                                                               Rebellion and political strife were all quite common.I am a huge ass fan of all things historical whether it be korean, chinese or any other language. This story is an inspiration from the metric tons of time I have wasted (notreally) watching period dramas.   Poster by the absolutely amazing namu at Full of Luck graphic shop
