Endless rows of commoners had huddled up on the outskirts of the arena.
Families brought along with them jute mats that they placed on the gravel, by the fences.
Children running around, catching glimpses of the race horses, admiring the set of saddles, hoof covers and brushes kept aside the stables.
Today was an integral day for King Min Yun Ki.
Something he'd been preparing for, for the past 8 months.
The Inter-Kingdom Horse Racing.
He'd invited Royalty from out and about Baekmin, to a congenial match.
The Royal Families had been summoned into Baekmin and pride was at stake.
Yun Ki saw this initiative as a PR move, to whitewash the image that his Subjects had painted of him, which was that of a ruthless Tyrant.
They'd see today, how Yun Ki could be the perfect sportsman, extending a hand towards the ones he'd excused as his foe.
Of all the Royalty that had entered the vast Kingdom of Baekmin, Yun Ki was most concerned about The King of Silkim, Lee Min Hyuk.
