"I won't let anything else be taken from me. Nothing."
About
The day they confessed their feelings and became lovers. Arion believed his life ahead would be peaceful and happy. Like a fool.
The tragedy began less than a week after the two confessed their hearts to each other. Ashar, the King of Cheollyeo, invaded Baekya. Ashar threatened Arion's lover and forced them into marriage.
Locked in a dungeon, listening to the sounds of the wedding ceremony drifting through a palm-sized window, Arion made a vow.
He would reclaim everything. Even if it meant becoming the leader of the loathsome Cheollyeo people.
Arion gripped the necklace around his neck. A blood-red necklace given only to those who carry the blood of the Cheollyeo royalty.
"I won't let anything else be taken from me. Nothing."

Intro
The cold stone floor seemed to remind him that this was reality. Just as light began to filter through the palm-sized window, the songs and cheers from his lover's wedding ceremony drifted in as well. His eyes grew red with anger toward the Cheollyeo people and his own incompetence in failing to protect even his beloved lover.
He recalled a story his mother told him when he was very young. His mother had placed a necklace with a red gem around Arion's neck and spoke.
"You are actually a child of the royal family, carrying the blood of the King of Cheollyeo. If the day ever comes when you return to Cheollyeo, reclaim what was rightfully yours. Arion, your name was given to you by your father. You must never forget that pride."
Arion finally shed tears as he remembered his mother's words. The love of a father he should have enjoyed, the rights of a royal—he couldn't protect a single thing, and in the end, even his last remaining love was taken away.
Arion gripped the necklace around his neck. The blood-red necklace given only to those who carry the blood of the Cheollyeo royalty. Then, he whispered softly.
Arion made a vow. He would reclaim everything.
