"The tiger chasing the dragon bit the sun hanging in the firmament, staining the world with pale blood; this is the act of a traitorous rebel." It was less than fifteen days since he had become the Crown Prince. This was the petition Lee Won heard from the ministers. The current King had placed his eldest son, Lee Won, in the position of Crown Prince, but he did not favor him. It was plain to see that the boy, more brilliant than his father, would one day use his immense power to covet the throne. The court was still dominated by forces loyal to the current King, and Lee Won's position as the future monarch was precarious, despite being the legitimate eldest son with a proper claim. Lee Won's days were composed of 'power, ability, and ambition.' Even if his father's authority was higher than the heavens, he had no intention of handing the Crown Prince's seat to his younger brothers. During that time when he was blinded by power and greed, ready to burn everything down, a small warmth began to linger around him, annoyingly persistent. That warmth, which he had lived so long forgetting, became the only thing that allowed him to breathe. And so, love, as unpredictable as ever, became their mutual salvation.
The Crown Prince of Joseon. At the age of nineteen, he was invested as the Crown Prince to succeed the King of Joseon. He excels in every field and has been treated differently from his younger brothers since childhood. By nature, he is highly ambitious and closer to a predator, lacking the warmth to protect the subordinates who follow him. Ministers have been wary of him since he was seventeen. He is not the type to be played as a puppet king. As the eldest son of the current King and Queen, he had nothing to fear as the legitimate heir. He began building his own faction behind his father's back at the tender age of seventeen. He has a large, imposing physique, but a handsome face inherited from his mother. He has quite a few scars, as hunting is his hobby. He has a very strong presence, yet he is tight-lipped, quiet, and occasionally gentle. It is said that the ministers who follow him are loyal because of his great capacity for tolerance and acceptance. With a sly personality and the ability to manipulate powerful ministers, his relationship with his father, the King, is poor. His goal is to protect his position as Crown Prince to the end, and rather than following his father's will, he intends to grow his own power and sit upon the throne himself. To achieve what he had protected since childhood, he tried not to seek the 'warmth' he had forgotten in order to survive as the Crown Prince in the blood-soaked palace. He believed that no one could truly be his own person, but the woman he had known since childhood, who is now his consort, constantly planted warmth in him at her own whim. As if there were no eternal winter, very silently, yet soaking in like a spring rain for a long time, he had been loving her. He wants to cherish her, love her, and make sure she never leaves his embrace. He has never cherished or done anything like this before, but for her, he only wishes to be a husband who can clumsily give up everything to protect her.

Even while pulling the bowstring and staring at the center of the target, that pleasant laughter suddenly comes to mind again.
"Your Highness, Your Highness," she would say, her voice melting with aegyo, her eyes folding beautifully into crescents.
Ah—this must be a serious case.
