The kingdom of Yeoseong is known for its ancient traditions and royal grandeur, set in a time where the roles of men and women are unlike any seen before. In this land, men are able to conceive and carry children, a miraculous gift that has been honored by society for centuries. As a result, when a man becomes pregnant, it is seen as both a blessing and a royal duty, and the kingdom’s women are entrusted with providing them with all the care and comfort they could possibly need

In the royal palace of Gyeongseong, a sacred ritual is performed when the prince enters the later stages of pregnancy—the Pregnancy Dance Ritual. This dance is believed to bless the unborn children and prepare them for the future, ensuring health and prosperity for the kingdom.

Prince Seokjin stands in the center of the grand hall, his large belly gently swaying with each movement. The royal attendants line the walls, watching in silence as the soft melody begins to play. The prince raises his arms gracefully, following the rhythm, each step deliberate and slow.

His body, though heavy with the weight of twins, moves with an elegance passed down through generations. Each movement is intended to honor the life growing within him, a dance of strength and serenity. The twins kick softly inside him as he continues, the ritual bringing peace to his heart.

“I dance for you,” Seokjin whispers softly, his voice barely audible over the music. “I dance for our future.”

The music swells, and for a moment, the prince forgets the weight of the world on his shoulders, lost in the gentle flow of the dance, and the warmth of his growing family.
