In the marvelous kingdom of Far Farrrrrr Away, 1000 miles away from Seoul, folks of different kind may it be dwarves, elves, wizards, 'some' witches, fairies, angels, merpeople, antagonists, protagonists and humans were waiting patiently for the arrival of their new Prince. King Kyuhyun was on the balcony with his lovely wife, Queen Sungmin. All was happy but the King himself looked uneasy about this baby thing. He fidgeted and he kept walking back in forth on the balcony. Something was bugging him and he doesn't know how to solve his problem. It was something related with his past, something that made him uneasy since his wife started to get pregnant. Queen Sungmin saw this and frowned, something was not right. Sungmin was 8-month pregnant with a baby boy and she was expected to deliver her baby next month.
"Dear, you look troubled are you ill?" She asked and walked gracefully to her husband, who was leaning now against the wall. Kyuhyun perked up and smiled lovingly to his wife.
"No, I am well" He lied; he's been like this since the sun went up to the horizon.
"I see. Now, what will be our baby boy's name? Do you have something in mind?" She asked as she rubbed her tummy.
"Dear?" She asked again when her husband didn't reply.
"Pardon me, what is it again?" Kyuhyun was not listening, his mind were somewhere else.
"Do you have a name for our future crown prince?"
"Jung Juri" he muttered, lost in thoughts. Sungmin opened her mouth slightly to Kyuhyun's answer and shook her head.
"Dear, are you on drugs?" She asked and laughed silently. Kyuhyun came back to reality.
"What? No, no, absolutely not. I'm sorry dear" Kyuhyun smacked his head mentally and put his hands around the Queen but his mind wander towards the past.
Flashback
It was a wonderful afternoon for Jung Juri seeing that this marvelous hour she will caught a glimpse of her beloved Prince Kyuhyun again. She sneaked out from Bugwarts, she cut her classes and flew with her broom together with her cat, Ferris to the Kingdom of Far Farrrrrr Away, she was so excited, she really loved Kyuhyun with all her heart. She smiled to herself when she started to see the jumbling towers of the castle.
In the garden of the Kingdom there stood Prince Kyuhyun with a bunch of tulips on his back for the beautiful princess nearby, who was reading a book, Princess Sungmin. She is the most beautiful maiden in the sparkling eyes of Kyuhyun. How he looked at her longingly, how he spend all morning to make his undeniably handsome face to stand out for the princess to notice. Yes, he was head over heels for Sungmin but he was also aware of the affection of ALL the maidens in the kingdom but he couldn't love them back because his heart was stolen by the princess within a split second he saw her beauty.
He gulped and adjusted his overly price clothing fit for a prince and walked slowly towards his target. Princess Sungmin was also aware of Prince Kyuhyun feelings for her and how she loved to tease the poor prince. She likes Kyuhyun but a little rejection from here and there will do to test if the Prince's affection for her was true. She pretended to read the book in the garden. Oh! Why in the garden, if she could read it inside the quiet, vast library? Silly Princess, she just wanted to see the Prince for herself. Kyuhyun approached the princess with a dazzling smile. Sungmin looked up and covered her eyes with the book; the light that reflected from Kyuhyun's teeth hit her eyes. Kyuhyun saw this and closed his mouth immediately. Not an award-winning approach from the crown prince.
Jung Juri flew rather fast and she was now inside the castle without anyone's knowledge. Her instinct told her that Kyuhyun is in the garden, that's where she always spotted the Prince every time she got to pass the castle. She checked her belongings, the picnic basket was still full and her cat was still black. She brushed her hair and groomed her face on her mirror, for the Prince might like it.
She went outside the garden and stopped on her tracks when she saw the most hurtful image in her entire life fields. Prince Kyuhyun was holding Princess Sungmin's hand and the two of them were happily chatting. Jung Juri saw how Prince Kyuhyun looked at the Princess, Kyuhyun never look at her that way, and he never did, not even once. He leaned forward and kissed Sungmin. He was in love with the maiden and Juri's heart started to bleed, her face was solemn and the picnic basket slide from her hand to the floor making an awful sound. The two lovers heard this and spared a glance at Jung Juri. Prince Kyuhyun gasped and went to his friend. Kyuhyun and Juri were friends since the frog got slimy.
"Juri! What are you doing here?" He asked and hurriedly picked up the basket.
"I... I wanted to see you but what I found is the worst image in my life"
"But, I love her"
"What love? She kept rejecting you! And I'm the only one who loves you more than my life!"
Kyuhyun stared at her, Jung Juri was crying. As her friend Kyuhyun wiped her tears but Juri pushed his hand away. Hatred controlled her.
"You let me believe that you will learn to love me"
"Jung Juri... I"
"You what?" She snapped and went to Sungmin.
"You wretch! You're the reason why Kyuhyun couldn't love me! I hate you!" She was about to curse Sungmin when Kyuhyun stopped her.
"You shall not harm her!" He cried and hugged Sungmin protectively. Jung Juri took her broom and flew but before that she throw the basket at Sungmin making her faint and she laughed evilly.
"Haha! Take that damsel in distress!" She stroke Ferris and continued her speech.
"I swear to curse you Kyuhyun! You and that wretch's future family, your children will suffer my wrath! I swear! I'll be back and make your life a living hell!" And she flew.
Noona He muttered silently.
Kyuhyun brought Sungmin to the healing quarters after that.
Flashback Ends
That memory was bugging the King. He started walking back in forth again making the pregnant Queen dizzy at his movements.
"Kyuhyun, please stop that" She pleaded and sat on the chair to make herself comfortable because she is carrying a heavy burden for 8 months now.
Kyuhyun stopped and smiled apologetically at his wife.
"Mianhe..."
Kyuhyun adjusted his crown, went to sit next to the Queen and pressed his ear on Sungmin's large tummy, listening to what his unborn baby was doing inside. He shouldn't think about that memory anymore. It's been a lot of years since that hullabaloo happened. He have a lovely wife, wealth, everything, and was just waiting for his baby to come out in this world. As if the baby knew what was coming, he kicked very hard. Kyuhyun face hurts but he smiled otherwise.
"He kicked me!" He said and kissed the tummy. Queen Sungmin laughed.
"Sorry about my actions awhile ago, what did you asked me again?" He inquired as he secretly picked a single rose from the vase.
"What will be our baby boy s name?"
"Ah, Prince Arthur" He answered as he remember King Arthur.
"Huh? That's too common dear, something extravagant"
"Prince Shrek?" And with that Sungmin laughed heartily. Kyuhyun saw this and his heart melted once again, he don't have to worry about Jung Juri's wrath, Kyuhyun love his wife and he will protect her and their future baby, that s what matters the most.
"I know! Prince Onew!" He said and handed the red rose to his lifetime partner. Sungmin smiled liking her baby boy's name and also the rose. Kyuhyun stood up.
"Dear, where are you going?"
"I will inform the people about our baby's name" And with that the King of Far Farrrrrr Away went to the edge of the balcony and shouted.
"Prince Onew!"
The folks inside the Kingdom looked up and shook their heads. Thinking that their King was in 'one of his moods' again. They went back to their work and ignored the continuous shoutings of the king.
He didn't know that Jung Juri was there flying and observing them, she smiled mischievously as she gathered a lot of information about the future prince. She went home immediately.
On the air, she contemplated who will be the one from her granddaughters that she will train for 2-3 weeks for advanced spells. She will bring her chosen granddaughter with her visit to the Kingdom, the day after Sungmin will deliver her baby. Jung Juri went back to their grades; the highest one in spell subject will go with her next month. But who? She dug her memory; Xero the middle child got the lowest grade, definitely not. Bit, the second child, passed, but not that high. Zyme, the eldest and Sky, the second to the last got the same grade, second of the highest, hmm, will do and Cloud, the youngest got the highest mark. She smiled as soon as she has chosen Cloud. Good, her training will start tomorrow.
