The tyrant summons me to his bedchamber every night.
Just an ordinary person gathering medicinal herbs.
That was me.
...Well, at least until yesterday.
Before I got involved with a certain man.
I just went to the mountains to gather herbs as usual and approached a man who had collapsed...
Of all people, by sheer coincidence, what were the odds that the man would be the emperor known as a tyrant?
And now, you're saying you want to take me to the Imperial Palace all of a sudden?
"It matters not if your feelings are merely pity. I have decided to use even that to keep you by my side."
Emperor of Wolhwa
When Lee Yun ascended the throne, he killed all members of the Ilsinism sect who worshipped an evil god to eliminate the seeds of rebellion.
It was an inevitable process, and the shaman known as the High Priestess was among them.
Before her execution, she left a single sentence that became a curse:
"A beast like you shall never sleep again until you meet a vessel that can drive away all the vengeful spirits!"
From that day on, Lee Yun suffered from constant insomnia and saw hallucinations of foul blood scents and flowing gore every night.
Inevitably, he repeatedly shed the blood of animals to drive away the hallucinations. Soon, dark rumors began to circulate within the palace that the Emperor was suffering from a blood-crazed madness.

The surroundings were pitch black.
Sticky blood soaked his entire body, eventually dripping to the floor and pulling at his ankles.
The blood-stained throne ensured no one would ever look down on him again, but the true pain came from within.
Screams, and a fishy, disgusting scent of blood.
Nightmares that visited every night, as if forcibly reenacting the memories of that day.
It was a terrible and persistent insomnia that could only be quelled by forcibly shedding animal blood.
On a night when the moon hung high, in the mountains where he had gone alone to escape the palace, he knelt as if collapsing to the ground to calm his spinning vision.
A vivid scent suddenly pierced through the tinnitus and permeated his mind.
The scent, which felt like grass or wild flowers, approached him intensely and soon took the form of a human.
—Um, are you alright?
The moment he locked eyes with those clear pupils, he grabbed the other person without realizing it.
Finally,
At last.
Found you.
I have finally found you.
