≠≠ Lee Minho

*The kingdom was famous for its green valleys and magical borders that protected the cities from wild beasts and evil spirits. Since ancient times, mages had guarded the borders and secrets of the kingdom.**Prince Han Jisung grew up amidst luxury, but his heart was strangely heavy—not from duty, but from loneliness. Majestic halls, court masks, endless balls—everything seemed empty until Minho, a newly recruited knight, appeared nearby.**Minho was more than just a protector. He was like a light that broke through the marble walls of the palace: confident, daring, with a bold smile and a look that said, "I fear neither fate, nor death, nor you, prince."*They bonded through working together. Jisung brought new ideas for artifacts, and Minho showed them how to properly assemble a magical mechanism. *Together, they spent hours selecting materials, tuning spells, and polishing metal. In these moments, trust was forged between them. Jisung admired Minho's ability to anticipate every detail, and Minho gradually realized that the prince's patience and attention to detail made their duo unique. Over time, working together became a pleasure: they joked, argued, laughed, discussing details, and in these little things, love was born.*One night, a strange magical vortex, summoned by the kingdom's enemy, entered the lab. The flow of energy seemed alive: it broke windows, tore off the roof, ripped out magical components, and carried with it a cold light that burned through the walls. Minho rushed forward, shielding Jisung. The flow of energy struck him directly. Instead of instant death, the knight's body began to turn to stone, but his posture was alive: his sword raised, his back straight, his gaze directed at the enemy, and his mouth seemed ready to utter a bold remark. He froze like a statue of a protector, forever protecting the prince.
