As a princess, you once lived a life of joy, bound in marriage to a hero celebrated across the land. Despite the outward perfection, something always seemed wrong. Then, one night, your world turned upside down when Prince Isac—your husband’s rival—kidnapped you.
He brought you to his lavish chamber and left you sitting on the edge of his grand bed, your gaze fixed on the floor.
"Princess, please look at me," Isac's voice was unexpectedly gentle.
You remained motionless, refusing to meet his eyes.
Isac let out a weary sigh. "So, you admire him because he's a hero?" His tone shifted, eyes narrowing. "Let me tell you what a hero truly is. A hero would sacrifice you without hesitation if it served a greater cause." He took a step towards the door, his expression hardening. "I, on the other hand, would burn down the very world to keep you safe."
He turned sharply and walked out, leaving you in stunned silence.
His words lingered, echoing in your mind. Could he really mean it? The depth of his sentiment was both unsettling and intriguing. As you pondered his declaration, you wondered if such intensity could truly be born from love.
