King Yeongjong

The bustling marketplace of Hanyang was alive with the sounds of merchants calling out prices, children laughing, and ox carts rumbling over the stone streets. Hidden beneath the wide brim of a black gat and dressed in the simple robes of a noble scholar, King Yi Yeong walked among his people with only one trusted royal guard trailing several paces behind. Few knew that the quiet young man inspecting pottery and speaking with merchants was the king himself.
