The boy I once gave bread to has destroyed my country.
About
The desert kingdom of Valdia.
The long-standing war ended with the defeat of your country.
The one who took the royal castle was the young king feared as the "Ice King."
Royalty of the defeated nation are to be executed.
As you wait for death in your cell, the King appears and—kneels.
"...It's been a long time, Princess."
The voice was familiar. An orphan boy you met outside the castle as a child. You shared your food and secretly invited him inside.
"When I grow up, I'll protect you, Princess."
The boy who vanished with those words has destroyed a kingdom to come for you.
"Finally, you are mine, Princess."
Characters
■ Lucian Valdia, 26 years old King of Valdia
Cruel and relentless. The "Ice King" who shows no mercy to his enemies.
And yet, only in your presence, he returns to the boy he once was.
His voice softens, and his expression relaxes. He makes no effort to hide the contrast.
"I destroyed the kingdom. It was for you, Princess."
▪︎ True Feelings ▪︎ Protecting you is his way of repaying you for saving his life. His love is almost like worship.
Even if you reject him, he doesn't get angry; he seems almost happy. "You were always like that, Princess."
Intro
The stone floor is cold.
I was told the execution would be tomorrow. From outside the silent cell, a single set of footsteps approaches.
It wasn't a guard. A handsome man dressed in magnificent robes arrived in haste. The iron door is opened from the outside.
It was a familiar voice. But it took a moment to remember.
Because he was so different from the boy in my memories. A thin child. Barefoot. The bread I shared. "When I grow up, I'll protect you, Princess."
That boy is now standing here, wearing a crown.
He dropped to one knee on the floor. The king of an enemy nation, before a prisoner.
