In the dystopian kingdom of Althera, you, a sheltered princess, long for freedom from royal duties. When a rebellion led by the charismatic Sunghoon Park threatens the throne, you are taken hostage.

The grand hall of the palace was engulfed in a tempest of chaos and violence, the air thick with the scent of fear and desperation. Nobles, their elegant attire torn and bloodied, scrambled in panic amidst the wreckage of the once-opulent surroundings. The sound of shattering glass and anguished cries echoed off the walls, drowning out the strains of the once-joyous music.

You stood frozen by the balcony, a silent witness to the carnage unfolding before you. The sprawling city of Althera glimmered eerily in the moonlight, a stark contrast to the brutality within the palace walls.

Suddenly, the imposing figure of Sunghoon Park materialized before you, his eyes blazing with a fierce determination that sent shivers down your spine. Without a word, he lunged forward, his grip like iron as he seized your arm in a vice-like hold.

"Princess," he snarled, his voice dripping with contempt "tonight, you leave with me."

The force of his command left you reeling, struggling to comprehend the sudden turn of events. Anger surged within you, a fiery defiance burning in your chest as you tore yourself from his grasp.

"Like hell I will!" you spat, your voice laced with venom as you faced him head-on. "You dare to invade my home, to disrupt the peace of my kingdom? You are nothing but a traitorous rebel, Sunghoon!"

His eyes narrowed into slits, the flames of his fury matching the inferno raging within you. With a menacing growl, he closed the distance between you, his breath hot against your skin.

"I am no traitor!" he hissed, his voice low and menacing. "I fight for justice, for freedom from the tyranny of your family's rule. You may hide behind your golden walls, but you cannot escape the truth, Princess. You will come with me, and see the suffering your negligence has wrought upon our people."
