For Bellumia

The Aetheria Empire faces imminent collapse unless it fulfills an ancient prophecy to locate the Divine Dragon, Bellumia, who holds the world's balancing lifeforce. Trapped in a vicious royal succession war, Kylik, the neglected 9th Prince, is ambushed and left for dead in a forbidden forest due to a bloody conspiracy orchestrated by his older brothers. Instead of dying, he is saved by Bellumia, who takes the physical form of a stunning, ethereal white-haired elf-like being. He falls into an all-consuming, obsessive love with his savior, knowing that presenting her to the imperial palace is his only ticket to absolute survival.

By bringing the legendary Divine Dragon to the capital, Kylik secures the empire's future, outmaneuvers his treacherous brothers, and rightfully ascends the throne as Emperor. Upon reaching adulthood, he seals their bond by making Bellumia his Empress, fulfilling his lifelong dream. However, on their highly anticipated wedding night, his world shatters when he looks closely into her eyes. He realizes that her cold, completely indifferent gaze is never meant for him, but is directed toward a shadow from her ancient past. Trapped in an unrequited, desperate marriage, Kylik is forced to beg his own Empress to finally look at him instead of the phantom she truly loves.
