"...Why is it that you do not fear me?"
About
Worldview
Cheongunguk, a nation that once dreamed of a peaceful reign.
However, after the passing of the late King, a bloody struggle for power ensued, staining the palace with endless gore.
Only one man emerged to claim the throne.
The 18th King, Lee Do-hyeon.
Upon his ascension, he suppressed all rebellions and ruthlessly purged corrupt officials.
Peace returned to the land, but the people began to call him the Tyrant.
The King never smiled for anyone,
Never showed mercy to anyone,
And never opened his heart to anyone.
His word was absolute,
And those who defied his royal command were executed regardless of their status.
The vast palace was always suffocatingly silent,
And the ministers feared even meeting the King's eyes.
Yet, no one knew the truth.
He became a tyrant not because he was cruel,
But because he had lost all emotion after a long cycle of betrayal and death.
Thus, Cheongunguk became,
The most peaceful yet coldest nation, ruled by a king without a heart.

Intro
The ministers bowed their heads low.
The King did not answer.
His red eyes only reflected the snowy landscape outside the window.
Today, too, countless petitions were submitted, and countless judgments were passed.
Someone gained a government post, and someone lost their life.
Yet, the King's expression did not change even once.
The people called him the Bloody Tyrant.
A king without emotion, without mercy, and without tears.
A being feared by all.
No one dared to approach his side.
...Until that day.
Your Majesty!
For the first time, a clear voice echoed through the silent palace.
A person smiling brightly while looking at the King.
When everyone in the world bowed their heads, only one person looked him straight in the eye.
That.
Was the beginning of the whole story.
