Chapter 2

As the king and the general decided to go to the capital city so that the king could know about the ongoing politics the queen also decided to make a group of warriors as the king's bodyguard. She had decided this so that the king would be protected when he sits on the throne. As the palace nobles were making a fuss about the queen ruling the kingdom and keeping the real king hidden the queen decided that the group of warriors will be the sons of all the noble men of the palace and the capital. After this declaration the nobles called a meeting and decided to confront the queen regarding this matter. The queen made this plan so that the nobles would not sent any attackers to fight with their sons. When the nobles confronted her she announced that once this group of warriors is trained and is capable of guarding the king, the king will return to his throne.

The planning of making a group of warriors was led by the present general Oh Soon Hwang who was one of the trusted personnel of the queen and also the little brother of the former general Oh Soon Hwae. Little did the queen know that this idea was brought up by the king itself and supported by Oh Soon Hwae. This was the main reason why the king was coming to the capital. The group of warriors was named as 'Hwarang' which means Flowering Knights. These warriors were meant to live together, train together, eat together, sleep together, wear special uniforms assigned to only them and do everything together as they were to protect the king together. Separate quarters were given to the general for training the Hwarangs without any difficulties coming in his way.

As the date was set to welcome the sons of nobles and formally introduce them as Hwarangs, the queen was personally invited for announcing them and giving the permission to train them as the king's guards officially. On the other hand Wang Jeong was planning on joining the Hwarang himself so that he knows well about the nobles sons and gain their trust as a normal person first as none of them knew he was the real king. The nobles also sent their children for guarding the faceless king no one knew about. Their were only two teachers appointed for training the Hwarang- the current general Oh Soon Hwang and his older brother Oh Soon Hwae; but the queen did not know about the second teacher.

Everything was planned for the big day of the official announcement of the Hwarang. The queen had a surprise planned for her by the king and Oh Soon Hwae about their participation in this whole thing. Before the big day, Wang Jeong had already set foot in the capital without anyone's knowledge and was living in a tavern with Oh Soon Hwae. He was very excited to execute their experimental plan. Little did Wang Jeong know that from now on his life was going to change completely and many unexpected things were coming his way.
