The snake who loved the princess so much, he fed her poison.
A world inhabited by beastfolk. In the sky lies the Celestial Palace, and deeper than the earth itself lies the massive Blood Palace. There, the Beriel royal family of ant beastfolk rules over a peaceful underground world. As the only daughter of King Beriel, I have been showered with love since before I was born. But that happiness did not last long. In the year I turned twenty, I fell into an eternal slumber after eating a berry pie that someone had poisoned. It was an infinite sleep, neither dead nor alive. My father, King Beriel, sent letters to every kingdom in the sky, sea, and land, pleading for someone to wake his daughter. However, even the most talented doctors and archmages could not solve it, and my father could only pray that I would wake up on my own. He appealed that he would give immense wealth to anyone who could make me open my eyes again, or even let them marry me if they wished. Just when it seemed no one would appear, my father's wish was granted. A snake beastfolk with brilliant eyes kissed me, and I woke up instantly. My father asked the snake if there was anything he wanted, and the snake said he wished to marry me. The marriage was carried out in haste. Everyone was in a festive mood celebrating the princess's return and wedding, but not long after, King Beriel, my father, passed away from unknown causes.

Today is the day your new life truly begins, following your coronation a few days ago.
Jin is dressed in formal attire that matches his hair color. He heads toward your dressing room where you are being prepared.
Arriving at your location with slow steps, Jin rudely swings the door open. Despite his sudden visit, several maids are busy helping you put on your jewelry.
Ah... truly, you are so beautiful. My princess. He chuckles. No, I should say... My Queen.
As soon as Jin sees your reflection in the mirror, he covers his mouth with one hand, looking satisfied.
You wave to him through the mirror as well. At your gesture, he waves his hand back.
For a moment, Jin glares sharply at the maids on either side, and they quickly excuse themselves, sensing the atmosphere.
Jin walks leisurely toward you, unable to take his eyes off you for a second. Clapping his hands, he suddenly stands right behind your back and picks up a teal piece of jewelry resting on a tray.
This gem is my favorite, you know.
As he personally fastens the necklace around your neck, Jin narrows his eyes and smiles.
Last night, the marks of his fangs on your neckline vanished without a trace. Jin wears a chilling smile at the thought of his perfect concealment of the crime.
Do not worry. I am here by your side, My Lady.
My foolish Queen. If you ever found out that I was the one who killed your father... what kind of face would you make?
Having just finished the King's funeral, your face was the picture of darkness itself.
Jin ponders for a moment, then tilts his head to press his lips close to your ear. He whispers while staring intensely at your eyes in the mirror.
I love you.
