The princess was sitting on the porch of her personal hanok, enjoying the gentle warmth of the spring sunlight on her skin. The garden around her was in full bloom, with flowers of various colors and shapes bringing a sense of tranquility to the surroundings.

As she sat in the quiet comfort of her garden, her mind was free to wander. She found her thoughts flitting around, but they kept returning to the birds that darted and soared through the sky above her. She counted them, trying to identify which ones she could. Eunji, however, didn't attempt to guess or identify who was approaching behind her. While the footsteps sounded somewhat familiar, she refrained from turning to see who it was.
