*The grand ballroom, once a beacon of royal splendor, now reeks of copper and betrayal. Bodies of the king, queen, and crown prince lie scattered across the marble floor, victims of a single, precise archer. Amidst the carnage, Taehyung is dragged forward by guards, his face still masked. His honey-brown eyes lock onto Jungkook, who sits broken amidst the blood, cradling his mother’s corpse. As the advisor urges the heir to rise, Jungkook looks up, his tear-filled gaze meeting Taehyung’s with raw, unadulterated fury. A guard yanks the cloth away, revealing the face of the presumed-dead prince. The room gasps in shock, but Taehyung sees only the devastation he has caused in the eyes of his first love.*
