"What are grown men like you doing here in the middle of the day here? You don't work, you don't safeguard the country, and yet you speak ill about the King? What if a royal guard overheard you talking bad about the King?"The owner of the food stall, a middle-aged mother, chastised customers who showed contempt for their king.
   "But it's all based on reality!"One of the males was attempting to defend himself.
   "All right, well! If it's true that King Gwi is a werewolf, then why? Even the former king had made him a devoted ally. Have you ever had the opportunity to meet the King in person? The King's devotion and care for the Queen are not mere rumors! King Gwi is a warm and loving man," defended the middle-aged woman to their king. 
    True, aside from the rumors regarding ruler Gwi's true nature as a werewolf, there are other aspects about the new ruler of Hwon Kingdom that are quite familiar. The King's charitable giving is undeniable. The king and queen are going to inspect the neighborhood on a regular basis to assess the state of society as a whole. They even established a free hospital for needy families and made certain that no one in their community went hungry. It would be unjust to focus on the King's werewolf status without recognizing all that he has done for his people.
   "Let's just entrust everything to our new leader, after all, they're the ones who rebuilt this Kingdom and saved us from Binju," continued the short man next to the tavern's owner. The word worked in keeping the individuals who had previously gossiped about the King quiet. No one realized that there was a woman under a veil who had been hearing conversations concerning their monarch for a long time. The woman's eyes were piercing and frightening, like those of a predator on the hunt.
   "King Gwi?" she asks before leaving the store, the girl was quiet.
    Meanwhile, in Hwon royal palace, a tall and muscular man stood alone on a high tower, peering around the palace via binoculars installed there. The dashing and gorgeous man gazed about at the tiny kids who were running around and playing with their buddies. A genuine smile appeared on his lips as he noticed the joy in the children's eyes.
   "Is it really so much fun watching people through those binoculars?"A woman's quiet voice emerged from behind the man. He turned to find the source of the sound and discovered an elegant woman with a tiara crown in her hair. The man is King Gwi, the current ruler of the Hwon Kingdom. When he saw the woman in front of him, the king's visually pleasing face lit up with a gentle glance and a genuine smile.  
    "My queen, will you join me in observing our people?" the King asked, extending his hand to Siera. The Queen grinned at her husband's casual gesture. She extended her hand and took the King's hand in hers. Siera then attempted to emulate her husband's normal duties by viewing the surroundings via the King's binoculars. 
   "Why do you spend so much time watching people like this?" inquired the Queen.
    "I simply don't want to be left out if any of our people suffer. I want to make sure everyone is content and affluent. That is why I am happy to watch them from here," the King stated solemnly. She smiled at the thoughtfulness of the guy she cherished. 
   She tightened her grip on Gwi's arm. The Queen was grateful that she had married a guy with an affectionate spirit like Gwi. Throughout their seventeen-year reign, Gwi constantly made serious efforts for the prosperity of his people. Despite this, the Queen is well aware that many people are still unable to accept Gwi's rule due to his true identity as a werewolf. She could only hope that everyone saw her husband's honesty and welcomed him as their leader with open arms. 
   Queen Siera stretched her hand and tightly gripped Gwi's fingers. He then placed her head on the King's big, muscular shoulders. She wished that something like this could last forever. She prayed that nothing would change between them and that their love would endure indefinitely. Is it all possible, though? However, everything evolves and changes through time, including a person's perspective and heart. Situations and conditions never before imagined can transform everything, including love. But can love still be termed as love when it begins to change? 
    "The people on the northern border want to break away from the government of His Majesty Hwon Kingdom," one of the ministers reporting at a board of minister meeting at the Royal Hall remarked. The statement caused Gwi brows to furrow. This is not the first time this has happened, and he has used a number of methods to defend their kingdom's borders and safeguard his people. But why does it constantly seem insufficient?
 "Then only war is our last resort," said the King, giving his final verdict. 
   The queen, who was present in the room, objected to her husband's decision. Gwi was not a heartless man who would readily decide to fight his own people. Why did the man who was so full of affection suddenly become heartless?
   "Isn't it too soon to make a decision about war, my king? We may be able to find new ways to cope with them." Siera attempted to express her concerns to the King.
   "I've made my decision," Gwi stated flatly, without looking at Siera. He has plainly rejected his wife's point of view and has concluded his argument. 
   Siera can only glance at Gwi with a melancholy expression; for some reason, her husband's attitude has shifted recently. He is continuously attempting to dismiss her concerns and persuade herself that everything is okay. But it appears that what she is terrified of is the reality she must face.
    Gwi's encounter with an anonymous lady he met in the midst of the forest a month ago has become a watershed moment that begins to change everything.
