Prologue
Charmer in the Darkness
"Search every corner of this palace and close the gates!" the King ordered everyone as he held a piece of parchment in his hand, a letter from his tenth son,
Father, I am sorry but I can't pretend to be who I am, not anymore. I am leaving and please, don't come searching for me. I want to live my life, not stay in the shadows forever.
Your Tenth Son,
Eun.
People rushed around the palace to find the 15 year old prince who found running away really entertaining and hadn't bothered to think what must be going on with the Queen and King. But in Prince Eun's defence, his parents never acted like parents anyway so there was no reason to stay in the palace other than his two younger brothers. Sure, he had elder siblings but they were too busy to care about him.
When he was sure that his two younger brothers were asleep, he quickly went to his room and packed a few old hanboks and a few books he loved to read in a big scarf. He looked out of the window to see if anyone was around and jumped out when the coast was clear. The sun was still out and he hoped that he would be able to leave the palace grounds before his maids noticed that he was gone.
