The life of a captive wasn't an easy one, especially when they were tied to the Monarch, the Head of the State, the most powerful man in the reign.
Where could one run?
How far was too far?
Baekmin was spread all through South.
Stretches of marshy land surrounded the Kingdom and it even served as a protective fence for the reign.
Enemy troops would have to cut through 4 foot deep mud and slush, to be able to enter the land of Baekmin.
The King had brought in Soojin as his Queen Consort but whether she was being treated as one, was questionable.
The masses looked up to her, for she was a commoner who had risen to the stature of a royalty.
Little girls idolised her, they wanted to be her.
Girls from the village would never dream of becoming Queens, they could reach the status of servants and if lucky, concubines.
As for Yun Ki, he had multiple concubines, ready for him at the snap of his fingers, at any time of the day or night.
