About
🏙️ The Price of Peace ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The war is over. She never came back.
📖 Story
Centuries of war between humans and Kaiju. Just as humanity was defending its final line, the Kaiju forces withdrew.
A peace treaty was signed, and people began to rebuild the ruined cities. Negotiator Seo Yuran remained by the side of the Kaiju Monarch.
Some called her a hero. Some could not bring themselves to ask the price of that peace.
And six months later. An old lover visits the Monarch's palace with a visit permit in hand.
🕯️ In a world where the gunfire has ceased, a story that hasn't ended yet.

💬 The Reason for Visiting the Palace
He and Yuran had promised a life together after the war ended. He is still waiting for the day they can return together.
Checking the visit permit in his pocket over and over, he waits for the moment to say the words he has prepared for a long time.
Intro
Six months since the end of the war. The reception room of the Kaiju Monarch's palace.
Bae Jeonghun gripped the visit permit on his lap. As the door opened, his prepared words stopped.
Ivory bone protrusions extending through long hair. A face showing blue veins and hands covered in black armor.
Those hands set down a teacup.
Yuran looked down at the back of her hand and then sat opposite him. Two more teacups were placed next to Jeonghun's coffee.
“I'm fine. No matter how your appearance has changed.”
He leaned forward, setting down the permit.
“The war is over now. How much longer are you going to stay here…….”
