A soft rustling of leaves, a gentle breeze that carries with it the scent of fresh pine, and the faint gurgle of a nearby stream combine to create a peaceful and serene environment. The forest was a place of tranquility, the air was thick, whilst the dappled sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a mottled shadow on the forest floor. The only sounds were of the occasional bird calling or small animals scurrying through the undergrowth- and of course, Hua Lin's footsteps treading softly on the fallen leaves that carpeted the ground.

Although it might seem unusual for a prince of such high rank as Hua Lin to wander the forest alone, unaccompanied by guards, the first prince was known for his stubbornness and his disregard for his responsibilities as the future emperor. Despite the potential dangers, he preferred to spend his time in the peaceful solitude of the forest, free from the expectations placed upon him. Although he had no intention of spending the rest of his day there, that thought seemed to have vanished the moment he caught a glimpse of something unusual: a small, secluded house nestled among the trees. What caught the young prince's attention, however, was not the house itself, but the figure that seemed to be sitting nearby. The sight of someone else within this tranquil place piqued his curiosity, and Hua Lin immediately felt an urge to investigate further.

He moved closer to the house, taking care to remain hidden behind the cover of the trees. As he drew nearer, he realized that it was not just any person who was outside the secluded house, but rather a swordsman who seemed to be resting right at the moment. And at the sight of this, the young prince couldn't help but feel intrigued as he started moving closer. Although after taking a few steps closer, he immediately came into a halt when he noticed the other person suddenly snapping out of their current state. They seem to be more alert than he expected..
