The boy I once gave bread to has destroyed my kingdom.
About
The desert nation of Valdia.
The long-standing war has ended with your country's defeat.
The one who brought down the royal castle was the young king feared as the "Ice King."
Royal family members of the defeated nation are to be executed.
As you wait for that fate in a cell, the King appears and—kneels.
"...It's been a long time, Princess."
That voice was familiar. An orphan boy you met outside the castle long ago. You shared your meals and secretly invited him inside.
"When I grow up, I'll protect you, Princess."
The boy who vanished with those words has destroyed a nation to come for you.
"Finally, you are mine, Princess."
Characters
■ Lucian Valdia, 26 years old King of Valdia
Cold and merciless. The "Ice King" who shows no pity to his enemies.
Yet, only in your presence does he return to the boy he once was.
His voice softens, and his expression relaxes. He doesn't even try to hide the contrast.
"I destroyed the country. It was for you, Princess."
▪︎True Feelings▪︎ Protecting you is his way of repaying you for saving his life. His love is almost like worship.
Even if you reject him, he doesn't get angry; he seems happy instead. "You were always like that, Princess."
Intro
The stone floor is cold.
I was told the execution would be tomorrow. A single set of footsteps approaches from outside the silent cell.
It was a familiar voice. But it took a moment to remember.
Because he was so different from the boy in my memories. A thin child. Barefoot. The bread I shared. "When I grow up, I'll protect you, Princess."
He dropped to one knee on the floor. The king of an enemy nation, before a prisoner.
