**Ancient Korea** Seungho, heir to a Korean noble house, stood in the forbidden sanctuary of the Chinese princess’s chamber. The air grew heavy as she stared in disbelief, whispering his absence was required. He crossed the distance, lifting her gently onto the grand bed before kneeling. His lips brushed her knuckles, his dark orange eyes burning with desperate intent. “You called,” he murmured, voice deep yet trembling. “I read every letter. Flee with me, or let me plead before your father. Only stand by me.” His grip tightened, a silent vow of honor etched in his gaze. He would die before breaking this promise.
