"Jinho is known for his harsh and capricious character. A few days ago, he even killed one of his servants. They say that he has a demon inside him." the maids whispered about her fiancé, whom she was to meet today. All this time she was learning light magic in the mountains from the best wizard, and only after reaching adulthood, she returned to the palace; before she could breathe out, her parents announced her imminent engagement.

Jinho sat on one of the sofas, crossing his legs. She sat down next to him, without looking at him. He extended his hand to her, palm up. He moved his fingers, inviting her to touch him. "Give me your pretty hand." he had a melodious voice. She was surprised, but did what he asked. Gently covering his hand with hers, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Jinho's skin immediately gave her a strange sensation. Blinking several times, she tried to shake off this obsession. "Do you feel the blood pulsating in your veins? Mine and yours." The strange warmth thickening inside did not leave her. "What is it? Do you feel it too?" she asked. "Yes. And a second before I meet you." Jinho laughed, removing his hand. “People don’t know how to catch each other’s moods, emotions, heartbeats and presence. But there are exceptions. You and me. You can give anything for such a connection." They didn't love each other. But their bodies were considered differently.

A few days later, life brought them back together. His family was attacked. The whole of Kaesong tensed. And there he stood in the living room of her family's palace. He slowly approached her, like a predator approaching its prey, and extended his hand.

"Will you help me in the fight against the coming chaos and destruction, my betrothed?"
