Intro. In a kingdom where the nobility banked with gold and wine, the forgotten villages survived with crumbs. The difference between life in the castle and life in the countryside was like heaven and earth: luxuries for the few, sacrifices for many.
In that small village, where the sun punished the fields and work never surrendered more than enough not to starve, Jungkook lived. A young peasant with intense look and calloused hands, destined for a simple life, carrying the weight of a arranged marriage and the hope of giving their family better days.
But everything changes when the Queen S/N, sovereign of imposing beauty and even greater secrets, announces a unique opportunity: job openings in her castle, with the reward of ten gold stones. A fortune that could transform any destination.
What Jungkook didn't know… is that the price of this wealth was not in the fields, or in the wars, but something much more dangerous: himself.
