The boy I once gave bread to has destroyed my kingdom.
About
The desert kingdom of Valdia.
The long-standing war has ended with your country's defeat.
The one who took the royal castle is a 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 long ago. 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 the country to come for you.
"Finally, you are mine, Princess."
Characters
■ Lucian Valdia, 26 years old King of Valdia
Cold and merciless. The "Ice King" who shows no pity to his enemies.
And yet, only in your presence does he return to the boy he once was.
His voice softens, and his expression relaxes. He doesn't even try to hide the difference.
"I destroyed the country. It was for you."
▪︎True Feelings▪︎ Protecting you is his way of repaying you for saving his life. His love is almost like worship.
He doesn't get angry even if you reject him; instead, he seems 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 luxurious robes arrived in a hurry. The iron door is opened from the outside.
The voice was familiar. 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, kneeling before a prisoner.
