Sebjeong's reign faced an unexpected political crisis just one year after her coronation.
It all began with a letter he held in his hands.
It wasn't a petition for independence from some province, a claim of someone declaring themselves queen, or even a eulogy containing slander against the monarch herself.
It was Gascon Halidon's resignation letter, the greenhouse gardener.
Some might question why the retirement of a mere gardener would lead to a political crisis. Although he served as the gardener at the monarch's residence, his tasks were no different from those of gardeners elsewhere. His work primarily involved tending to flowers and trimming trees.
However, his presence had a significant impact on the agricultural production at the monarch's residence.
The only agricultural product coming from here was the golden tomato, referred to as the Queen's Gracious Gift.
