Description

The Oracle can predict the future. She was said to be seen only in desperate times, and it is claimed that those who have seen the Oracle believes she's a goddess brought down to Earth. For many centuries, the Oracle has been hunted by Kings and Queens. What they don't know, is that the Oracle has a dark secret herself. How will things change when she appears to warn the kingdom?

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: This was a good story and i honestly would like it to be longer. Author-nim don't you have any plan to write the sequel for this story?

Chapter 1: While some parts were a bit of a stretch, I enjoyed this story and the overall twists and turns it had. Some of the surprises were harder to believe than others, but in general, I rather liked how you made the Oracle not such a good person. Usually, they're paragons of piety or virtue and in this, she was quite the opposite, but that did change slowly as she got to know more about Chanyeol, which was nice to see. I did notice that in the beginning, you called the arrow a shuriken so that was a teensy bit confusing, as was the way in which she managed to set it up to fire and stop it herself, but overall, I rather liked their back and forth banter. It did seem a bit strange that Chanyeol was twenty (and a royal - even if that wasn't quite true) with no marriage prospects, no training, and no bodyguards - even if he didn't want any. It was also a bit odd that the Queen would allow a random albeit skilled nobody to just become her son's bodyguard. Those aside, the general idea of the story was quite intriguing and I really enjoyed that bit at the end about Bomi returning to the crystal or else. The lasting feel is one of bittersweetness and regret. Well done. ^_^ Though I am unsure as to why Chanyeol was going through her things that night... Did he have reason to suspect her or was that something he had been doing on a fairly regular occurrence and we just didn't know about it? haha

Either way, congrats for finishing the story and good luck with the contest!
