....

On the following day's court meetings, no one opposed the king's decision any, so under the jurisdiction of the ministry of rites, the preparations for the crown prince ceremony started.

After that it took five months of preparations, like choosing a good date, finishing invitations, and practicing for the ceremony.

On the destined day, the ceremony finally started.

On the day of the ceremony, the king, civil and military officials, and the prince gathered at the main palace courtyard.

The atmosphere was defined by ritual court music. The prince, wearing the ceremonial robes with a flat-topped hat featuring beads, would be escorted to his position.

This visual transformation signified his transition from a mere royal son to the second-highest authority in the land.

After completing a significant amount of rituals and worship, the young prince became the crown prince.

He was also ultimately allowed to move to his own private chambers.

JOSEON ROYAL PALACE,

The young prince, now the crown prince, was going to his own chambers; on his way he asked

"Eunuch Li, aren't you the one who oversaw the preparations of my new palace"

A young man in his twenties, his body had a solid foundation and a good face with eyes full of devotion towards the crown prince.

He and the other eunuchs and court ladies, numbering nearly eighty, were previously chosen at a very young age and strictly trained for years; their loyalty and dedication towards the crown prince were unmatched.

Eunuch Li and another eunuch, along with two more court ladies, were chosen for their exceptional skills and talents to serve in high positions at the crown prince's residence.

Eunuch Li bowed his head; he spoke with a bright face while walking.

"Yes your highness, though court lady Lu also helped me"

Eunuch Li had developed great respect for the nearly four-year-old prince, who didn't even once complain during the rituals and even followed every step with great posture.

Yong Kang nodded and looked a little behind himself at two massive eight-foot-tall figures walking with well-built, muscular bodies and big swords, walking dignifiedly.

Yong Kang suddenly laughed in his heart.

These two were his personal bodyguards who escorted him from the start to the end of the ceremony.

Even when ministers, nobles, and the palace guards first saw them, they broke into a cold sweat; only the king, head guard, inspector general, minister of war, and a few more people were very calm and didn't react much.

Yong Kang still remembered how the minister of justice nearly collapsed when the two figures walked past him.

Yong Kang was very satisfied with the results and enjoyed everyone's reaction heartily.

As for how he got them, we have to go back two days earlier at night time.

FLASH BACK STARTED,

Yong Kang was preparing to go to bed when the head eunuch personally came to take him to the king's chambers.

The night has just passed ten, even though Yong Kang should be asleep by now, but he isn't because he has a habit of reading books late at night.

Even one day he was reading until midnight; no one informed the queen at that time because she had been visited by the king, but when she heard about it the next day, she was furious and severely scolded the young prince, nearly forbidding him from reading at night.

Ultimately the king interfered, and it was decided that the young prince could only read until ten at night, no more after that .

After reaching the king's quarters and visiting chambers, Yong Kang asked

"May I come in, Father?"

"Come in," King said in a sharp voice.

Yong Kang entered the room, sat in front of his father, and bowed in greeting.

"Kang do you know why I called you here this late at night without any previous notice" the king asked in a calm voice, the chief eunuch and head guard both sitting sideways.

Yong kang thought something and said

"Something about the crown prince ceremony, i guess father"

The king nodded satisfiedly and

"Pretty close, but it wasn't directly connected to the ceremony" the king stopped for some moments and asked the head guard "everything prepared"

The head guard answered respectfully

"Yes your majesty, they are at the secret training ground, prepared to move at any time"

"Hmm, Good" then king looked at the young prince and said

"Prince as you know the crown prince ceremony will happen soon, you will be given your own chambers, servents and also guard's specially trained for you to use.

Today I will hand over the guards to you for your personal use and" the king thought something and said"it would be better for the head guard to tell this to you himself."

Understanding The king signal the head guard came forward and spoke

"Your highness even though these men are trained to obey you and follow your every order, they will never betray you.."

Young prince became very excited when he heard this and said

"Oh, that's a good news, thank you for your hard work head guard, but I think you still haven't finished speaking "

The head guard hesitated for a moment and said

"I really can't escape his highness eyes, to be more precised they are the best soldiers i have ever trained They will follow you but they are extremely dignified hard to control.

They're willing to follow someone capable to their deaths but won't be dominated by someone weak and incapeble even if it's the future crown prince or king so if you want their absolute loyalty you have to make them admire you, you have to be strong enough to fully control them"

Finally finished speaking head guard looked at the young prince who was looking at him with furious eyes.
