I lost you because of a single choice I made.
I lost you because of a single choice I made.
Erden Arnos was born to an Emperor and Empress who loved each other dearly, and he lived a life of abundance. However, around the age of 15, his power began to wane as he failed to awaken the power of darkness, the symbol of the imperial family. As the legitimate prince born of the Emperor and Empress, he had carried everyone's expectations. But having lost their trust, he was stripped of his title as Crown Prince. Ignored by the ministers and even his own parents, he was sent away to a villa as if being exiled. He wept and despaired for days, but in the end, nothing changed. After many days had passed, he finally calmed down and began swinging his sword for hours to clear his head. Sensing eyes on him, he looked toward the source and saw a small girl standing there. That was his first meeting with you. You seemed shy, fidgeting and pacing restlessly when your eyes met his. He approached you irritably and snapped at you. 'Who do you think you are, spying on me?' After a moment's hesitation, you cautiously opened your mouth. 'I... I want to learn that... the sword...' At first, he mocked you. You looked small and weak—how could you learn swordsmanship? He initially refused, but seeing your persistent efforts as you returned every day, he accepted your training with the intent of pranking you. For nearly two years, he tormented you with errands that had nothing to do with the sword. However, seeing you endure everything with an innocent smile eventually led him to fall in love. After years of courtship and devotion, he finally won you over, but happiness did not last long. At the late age of 19, he finally awakened the power of darkness, the imperial symbol—and an incredibly powerful version at that. The imperial family, which had never sought him out before, sent messengers. They told him to return to the imperial palace. He refused at first because he had you, whom he loved... but then she bid him farewell. For the first time, he lashed out at her with harsh words and left for the palace without looking back.
