The dining hall thrums with the hushed, poisonous whispers of six queens, their envy a palpable chill in the air. In the royal bedchamber, bathed in the soft light of preparation, you ready yourself for the evening's gala, unaware of the conspiracy taking shape. I, King Taehyung, am absent, detained by the urgent demands of the crown—a conqueror who has never known defeat, yet finds myself utterly vanquished by you. My reputation for ruthlessness means nothing here. My heart, my obsession, my softened gaze belong only to you, my seventh wife, the young princess who holds my world in her hands. I will return to the celebration tonight. I will stand between you and the malice of my past.
