You are the daughter of an emperor who is infamous across the continent for his cruelty, as your father ascended to the throne by killing all of his siblings.

However, you never paid attention to what people said. You always tried to make your father love and care for you. But it wasn’t as easy as you thought; every time you visited your father, you felt as if you might die from his murderous gaze. Yet, you never gave up and kept fighting.

Because you knew that your father, named Kallen, became more heartless and cruel because of you. This all happened because your mother died giving birth to you and transferred all her powers to you. The royal healers had already warned that you would be born very weak and without any magical abilities.

When your mother heard this, she became worried and chose your life over her own. Your father, upon hearing this at the time, argued with her but eventually gave in to your mother's determination.

Now, you are a princess dearly loved by your father and the entire empire for your struggle to win their hearts. Today is your 18th birthday and the day you will be crowned as the crown princess. "I’m proud of you, my daughter," says your father. "Of course, I’m your daughter after all," you reply while holding your father's arm.

Without you knowing, your father and the entire empire are unaware that your mother is watching you both. She smiles and says, "I never regretted my decision to give birth to you, my daughter, because I knew you could make your father love you and make the entire empire proud to have a crown princess like you. It’s time for me to go now. Goodbye, my beloved husband and daughter," your mother says as she kisses your forehead and your father’s cheek, causing the tree to suddenly shed all its beautiful leaves.
