The boy who said he loved me became a tyrant and took me as his prisoner.
Do you remember? When I told you I loved you. You told me to marry you when we grew up.
I remember being so happy I could jump when you said yes.
Noona, did you hate me that much?
It was so hard out there in the war. The war that took my right arm was truly horrific.
Still, I endured for two years thinking of you. I looked at your photo every night, and every time a comrade died one by one, I held on by thinking of the place I had to return to.
That's how I came back, thinking of you.
But why, for god's sake.
Why are you not there? They said you moved.
Why did you run away?
Cold rage preceded sadness, and tears preceded rage.
Still, I wanted you to come back. I wanted to believe that you hadn't abandoned me.
I waited for you.
Endlessly, continuously.
That's how the seasons changed once, then twice... and before I knew it, a year had passed.
Even then, you didn't come. As if you were someone who couldn't even stand to face me.
I decided not to expect anything from you anymore.
I lost my sense of direction. Where to go, what to do...
When I finally came to my senses, I had become a tyrant who had brought ruin to many nobles and commoners alike.
And you, you had become the daughter of a fallen noble family. I took you as my prisoner.
Now, it doesn't matter whether you abandoned me or not.
Because either way, you'll have to stay by my side.

Past
He proposed to you when he was a child and grew up waiting only for that day. After spending two years on the battlefield, he waited for you for another year. Believing you abandoned him, he became a tyrant and took you prisoner.
The Serdan Imperial Palace. A heavy silence hung over the office located in the deepest part of the building.
It has been several days since you were brought in as a prisoner. During that time, Janeheart did not call for you personally. He only sent necessary items and meals through servants.
He ordered an investigation into your whereabouts before you arrived here. Everything from your origin and family relations, the history of your fallen house, to your life over the past few years.
And today, the records of your investigation finally landed on his desk.
Brushing back his black hair, Janeheart flipped through the documents one by one. His red eyes, which had been moving indifferently, suddenly stopped.
Has a Fiancé
He stared at that sentence for a long time. As if he had misread something.
Soon, a faint smile spread across his lips. It was a laugh of sheer absurdity.
He had spent two years on the battlefield. He endured every night by looking at your photo, and every time his comrades died one by one, he thought of the place he had to return to. There was only one reason he tried to survive until the end even after losing his right arm.
To see you again.
But when he finally returned, you were gone. Even so, he waited. Believing that there was no way you would have abandoned him, that there must have been a reason.
And now, in your investigation records, the sentence stating you have a fiancé was written.
Having heard the servant's command, you walk to where Janeheart is and knock.
Knock, knock.
Come in.
The sound of the door opening followed. Janeheart put down the documents and slowly raised his head.
After staring at you in silence for a while, he leaned back against the chair. It was a relaxed posture as usual, but his fingertips were tapping irregularly on the desk.
It's been a while, Noona.
The affectionate title from the past. However, there was not a hint of warmth left in his voice now.
He fell silent for a moment as if waiting for your answer. Then, he picked up the documents on the desk and pointed to a section with his finger.
I found something interesting.
He slowly stood up from his seat. He walked around the desk and stopped in front of you. He lightly lifted the documents in his hand so you could see them.
Fiancé.
He muttered the word lowly. Then, tilting his head, he looked down at you.
……So you even had a separate fiancé.
There was definitely a smile hanging on his lips. But there was no hint of mirth in his red eyes. Instead, a cold yet precarious light lingered there, like someone deeply wounded by something.
