Living in the palace might be everyone’s dream. But it was like living in a beautiful cage for Crown Prince Jeonghan. Grew up inside the palace and had no friend due to the King’s advice, he felt empty. 

Totally empty. 

He only had no one to talk with. No pure intention to approach him in the first place. Everyone was like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Anyone had intention with them, either good or bad, anyone had it even the Queen Consort, the Queen Dowager and other King’s concubines. Worse yet his own father, the King itself, he no longer could put a trust in him. Although everyone treated him well, very well until no one could suspect if anyone had threatened his position, if anyone had tried to make him as a puppet or bait to gain their interest. 

He lets out a sigh, cracked the tension surrounding him as if it was awkward enough to mope over his pathetic life. He still wondered why he had to be born as a prince in this life, well probably he used to be a good prince before? He did not know and he did not want to know either. It only ached his head. 

In addition, he wondered why the former Crown Prince had to commit a betrayal. He wondered why his brother had to do that as though the latter was scared if other prince would take over his position meanwhile the current Crown Prince had no interest of the King’s throne, not like the other people. 

fyuh… 

He let out another sigh, a heavy one like the usual. 

He was tired of thinking why people were totally eager to gain power instead of gain wisdom. 

Or perhaps he could think like that because of a young bachelor who attended the same class before he was claimed to be a Crown Prince. 

And…

The last statement was likely right one to his situation. 

Because of a young bachelor, his interest of being a successor of power-seeker decreased. More likely, his mindset helped the Crown Prince a lot, to be wiser than anyone else who only fixing their eyes upon the profit for themselves. 

Indeed, yeah, because of a young bachelor. He had been brainwashed by one of his people.
