In the silence of the Crown Prince's chambers at night, only the sound of turning pages could be heard. The prince was immersed in the world of ancient knowledge as his guard quietly stood in the shadows. The prince stretched his neck slightly, and sighed.

Let's go for a walk to the library, Taeho. I need some air.

But, Your Highness... there are rumours... that it’s haunted by a woman's ghost. The prince raised his eyebrows sceptically and the guard took a step closer, his voice quieter, almost a whisper. I didn't believe it at first either, but I've heard some of the people who were there say she sings so beautifully that even the clouds swoon, but her songs are filled with longing and sadness. Some say she’s waiting for someone, others say she guards old secrets.

Shouldn't I meet her, then? Maybe she'll reveal those secrets to me. The prince said and snorted. Taeho was a fearless and trustworthy man, but when it came to such matters, he suddenly became ridiculously superstitious. Stop listening to the idle chatter of the court ladies. They make things up to brighten their days, and you, a seasoned warrior, believe them.

Your Highness, suffering ghosts who have not found peace can be very cruel to the living. Taeho sighed, realizing that it would be difficult to change the prince's mind. But he didn't give up. Better leave the library until morning. And then, when the sun rises, you can explore it without fears.

I'm not afraid, unlike you. I am the future ruler of this country, if I start being scared of such trifles, how will I be able to lead the people? Hyunjin stood up. Let's go. There's no one in the library. And if I see this ghostly lady, I will take her under my protection so that she will not grieve any more.

With these words he headed for the door, striding confidently. Taeho sighed heavily as he followed the prince into the dark corridors of the palace. He knew it was his duty to guard the prince, but how could he explain to him that some mysteries were better left unsolved?
