Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: A Destiny Embraced

Iseul's decision echoed within her, a choice that would forever shape her path. With unwavering determination, she set her sights on the destiny that awaited her—a destiny intertwined with the realm of light. She knew there were challenges ahead, lessons to be learned, and sacrifices to be made. But she was ready to embrace her role as the princess of light.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as Iseul immersed herself in the preparations for her future as the ruler of the land of light. Under the guidance of Elysia and the assistance of the palace staff, she studied the intricacies of royal etiquette, learned the history of the realm, and honed her diplomatic skills.

As she delved deeper into her studies, Iseul discovered a strength within herself she hadn't known existed. She grew more confident, not only in her abilities but also in her understanding of the responsibilities that awaited her. The kindness and compassion she possessed became the foundation upon which she would build her reign.

Despite her dedication to her newfound role, Iseul's heart ached for Hyun. Thoughts of their reunion lingered in her mind, like a distant beacon of hope. She yearned for the day when they would be reunited and could embrace their love without fear or restrictions.

In the quiet moments of solitude, Iseul found herself reminiscing about their stolen moments together—their laughter, their shared dreams, and the warmth of their love. It fueled her determination to not only become the princess of light but also to create a world where their love could flourish.

One evening, as the sun set upon the horizon, Iseul found herself standing before Jae-sung, who was engaged in an intense conversation with a group of mysterious men. Curiosity tugged at her, and she approached him, her gaze steady and unwavering.

"Jae-sung," she called out softly, catching his attention. "I have made my decision. I am ready to embrace my role as the princess of the place of light."

A smile played upon Jae-sung's lips, a mixture of pride and caution. "My lady, your determination is commendable. However, this path is not without its challenges. Are you truly prepared for the sacrifices that lie ahead?"

Iseul's gaze met his, filled with resolve. "I understand the sacrifices, Jae-sung. I am willing to face them for the greater good. I want to create a world where love and compassion prevail."

Jae-sung nodded, his eyes filled with a mix of admiration and concern. "Very well, my lady. Your journey begins now."

In the days that followed, Iseul delved deeper into her training, refining her abilities and knowledge. She sought wisdom from the elders, listened to the stories of the land's history, and absorbed the wisdom passed down through generations.

Time passed swiftly, and as the day of her ascension drew near, Iseul's heart swelled with a bittersweet mix of anticipation and longing. She had become the princess of light, but her heart still yearned for Hyun.

Tomorrow is the day Iseul transcends the human relm, this time she's not the same Iseul who would cry on any minor inconvinence, would get bullied, and get trauma while looking at the mirror, this time she was a strong woman who is going to get the most powerful seat in all the realms, the ruler of the kingdom of light, with a mixture of emotions Iseul gets ready for tomorrrow, her birthday.
