All the king's horses
Everything was mine
As time passed and Hyunjin didn't return, I formed a search team and ordered them to find him.
정인
'Be safe... Please be safe...'
승민
It'll be okay.
Seungmin was smiling.
정인
'But I'm sure you're more anxious than anyone else.'
You said you've been together since childhood.
정인
Yeah... it'll be okay.
승민
...Hyunjin and I lived in the same town when we were young.
Seungmin hyung brought up the subject first.
승민
We were both neglected at home, and when we met, we felt a kinship and became close.
승민
That day was just like any other day.
현진
Kim Seung-min! The person who arrives late is the one who's being chased!
승민
What?! Hey! What the hell is that?!
As usual, the two of them were laughing and playing.
The only playground was the mountain behind the house, and the clothes were old, torn, and worn, but they were more than enough.
승민
Let's go in now. It's starting to get dark.
현진
huh!
While I was coming down the mountain, someone put a large blanket over my head from behind and my memory was cut off.
When I came to my senses again, I was in an unknown place with Hyunjin.
현진
Seungmin...
승민
Hyunjin...!
I was relieved that Hyunjin was safe, but I had no idea where this place was.
Suddenly, the door opened and a bright light came in, and a person was standing there.
"Come out."
There were about twenty young boys like us in front of a large building surrounded by a huge wall.
They were all children who had been kidnapped without knowing English, just like us.
The days that unfolded before us from that day forward were nothing less than hell.
We were forced to undergo harsh military training without any explanation.
We learned to run, roll, and use our swords, risking our lives, because soldiers threatened us with swords from behind while marching or training.
But here, they didn't even give us proper food, let alone a place to sleep.
A week passed and the youngest child died.
Everyone was in great shock and fear.
While training, I thought I was going to die, but when I saw someone who actually died...
We were there for five years.
The number of children, which had been around twenty, had decreased to twelve, and they were adapting to living there.
One day, we were suddenly thrown back into society.
I heard that the project that was in progress was canceled...
We, who only knew how to use a sword, struggled to become knights.
승민
At that time, I didn't know that I would be escorting the king of a country.
정인
...I see.
정인
I really need to find Hyunjin hyung safely.
승민
...yes.
승민
That's right.
