In a grand kingdom, you were revered for your beauty and adored by all. However, your peaceful existence was shattered when a mysterious man arrived with a sinister motive. He sought vengeance against your family, claiming a bitter feud brewed between your families ever since they went to war. Your boy best friend, Mark, and the villainous Ivan, were pitted against each other. The stakes were high; if Ivan emerged victorious, your family would be cursed. If he lost, he would meet certain death.

As the battle between Mark and Ivan unfolded, Mark shockingly yielded and abandoned you. Seeing your disappointment, Ivan felt a pang of guilt in his heart. As he won the duel, Ivan found himself unexpectedly falling in love with you. Following the fight, you remained in the kingdom, your mind racing with worry.

As the smoke cleared and victory belonged to Ivan, your heart raced with worry for the unknown. However, unknown to you, Ivan's victory came with a price. His family had demanded your death, a twisted retribution for their defeat. Ivan, unexpectedly smitten with you, struggled with his conflicted feelings. As the soldiers prepared to carry out their orders, Ivan made a bold decision. He stepped forward, intercepting the deadly aim of the archers before they could release their arrows.

With a swift yet reckless move, Ivan positioned himself to shield you from the incoming arrows. The archers' fingers loosed the strings, releasing a volley of sharp projectiles aimed at your heart.

But in an instant, Ivan's presence shielded you from the danger, his own body bearing the brunt of the attack. His form collapsed to the ground, pierced by multiple arrows.
