A very long time ago, there lived a frail young Grand Prince inside the palace.
Though born the legitimate son of the Queen, he was plagued by constant illness from an early age,
and as he grew, he fell afflicted with a lung disease.
The royal court's attention gradually shifted toward the other princes,
and Sehwa became a forgotten prince, cast far away from politics and royal succession.
In the year he turned seven,
Sehwa left the palace alongside Hwasundaek, the nanny court lady who had cared for him for many years.
Twenty years have passed since then.
Knowing nothing of his true identity, the people of Maehwagol
merely regard him as a nobleman residing in the tile-roofed house, addressing him as "Nauri."
