Chapter 3: The Reincarnation Of Forgetton Legend ( invisible Son )
Dong's eyes flutter open. Pain shoots through his body like fire.
He groans—bandages cover his chest, arms, and neck. His body is bruised and weak.
At his side, a young maid wipes his forehead. Her eyes widen as she sees him awaken.
> **MAID (softly):**
> "Y-Your Highness… You're awake!"
Dong's eyes narrow.
> **DONG:**
> "What... happened…?"
> *His voice is cold, but cracked with pain.*
> **DONG:**
> "What's my age right now?"
The maid blinks in confusion.
> **MAID:**
> "You're… 13, Your Highness."
> "Your 14th birthday is in 3 months."
> **DONG (thinking):**
> *"Three months before the poison…"*
> *"The Entity sent me back farther than I asked."*
He winces and grits his teeth.
> **DONG:**
> "Why… am I so injured?"
The maid looks nervous.
> **MAID:**
> "You… you fought with the 2nd Princess."
> "She challenged you in front of the other nobles, and… you refused to yield."
> **DONG (confused but curious):**
> *"2nd Princess?"*
> *"Why would she fight me?"*

### 🔥 New Memory Fragment Awakens
> *A flash…*
> The 2nd Princess, older than him, mocking his "weak bloodline."
> A blade drawn.
> A fight in front of the royal court.
> Dong collapsing while the others laughed.
---
> **DONG (thinking):**
> *"This… this wasn't in my original memory."*
> *"So this world isn't identical…"*
> *"It's been altered... or I'm remembering things I missed before."*

### 🧠 Scene Ending
He looks at the maid.
> **DONG:**
> "Bring me ink, scrolls, and maps."
> "And one more thing…"
> **MAID:**
> "Y-Yes, Your Highness?"
Dong stares at the ceiling, a cold smirk forming.
> **DONG:**
> "Send word to the 2nd Princess."
> "I want to thank her… personally."

Scence shift to dong again
🧠 **Dong (thinking):**
> "The King doesn't care about his children.
> He only cares who is *strongest* — who can bring him victory.
> To him, sons and daughters are weapons. Replaceable. Disposable."
He remembers:
> – How the 1st prince was trained like a hero.
> – How the 2nd princess was gifted riches.
> – And how **he**, the 4th prince, was left **to rot in the shadows.**
🧠 **Dong:**
> "He didn't even flinch when I was poisoned at 14.
> He just moved on. Just like he moved on when the 2nd Queen died."
> "But this time… I'm not the weakest.
> I'm not a tool.
> I'm the **sword that cuts the throne**."
🧠 **Dong (thinking):**
> "He summoned me.
> And I came… alone.
> No 1st prince. No 2nd or 3rd. No princess.
> No 'family'."
> "Because I was never family to them.
> Just a broken pawn they left behind."

### 👑 [Scene – Royal Dining Hall]
Dong enters the massive hall.
The golden dining table stretches across the room — but only **two chairs** are set.
One for the **King**.
One for **Dong**.
It's silent. No guards. No nobles.
Just the **King of the Empire**… and the son he never truly claimed.
🧔 **The King:**
> "Sit."
Dong sits, perfectly calm.
No emotion. No fear.
---
🥄 **Dinner is served** by silent servants.
They eat in silence for a while.
Only the clinking of utensils echoes in the vast, cold room.
🧔 **King (coldly):**
> "None of your siblings wished to join.
> You… don't have the best reputation."
💬 **Dong (calm):**
> "I'm used to being alone. It's how I became strong."
🧠 **Dong (thinking):**
> "You don't care. You just wanted to see if I'm still broken.
> Sorry, Father. This time, I'm the one holding the sword."
---
🍷 The King eyes him carefully.
🧔 **King:**
> "You were born from a maid.
> Not from nobility.
> But your blood is still mine."
💬 **Dong (smiling faintly):**
> "And blood… spills easily, doesn't it?"
A long silence.
The King looks at him again. Something about Dong is... unfamiliar.
🧠 **King (thinking):**
> "He was weak before. Quiet. Obedient.
> Now… he feels dangerous."
---
### 🕯️ At the end of the dinner...
🧔 **King:**
> "The academy will crush you if you're not prepared.
> You're still weak."
💬 **Dong:**
> "They can try.
> But I've already been crushed once.
> This time, I'll be the one doing the crushing."
The King raises an eyebrow — amused, but cautious.
The dining is done. Plates cleared.
Dong stands to leave, silent and composed.
👣 Footsteps echo through the massive, empty hall.
🧠 **Dong (thinking):**
> "He called me here alone.
> Not a word of warmth. Not a shred of care.
> I gave him respect. Sat at his table. Ate his food…"
> "Let's see what he gives me back."
---
As Dong walks toward the exit...
🧔 **The King turns slightly**, not even looking at him.
Then—
🧔 **King (softly to himself):**
> "Tell the others... be safe on their way to the academy."
...
A long silence.
Dong freezes for a second.
🧠 **Dong (thinking):**
> "...The others.
> He means the **1st prince.** The **princesses.**
> Even the **3rd prince.**"
> "But not me."
He clenches his fists behind his back, but his face stays cold.
💬 **Dong (without turning):**
> "I'll be safe.
> The ones in danger… are them."
He walks away.
A faint smirk appears on his face.
🧠 **Dong (final thought):**
> "Remember this moment, 'Father'.
> When the empire burns, it'll start from this cold room."
