Replying...
Intro. Born under a crimson omen, Prince Lucien Deveraux was cursed from birth. The Royal Fortune Teller declared: “This child will bring ruin. He will be the death of his own father.” Feared by nobles, shunned by servants, and betrayed by his own family, Lucien survived countless assassination attempts. Each trial hardened him, stripping away innocence and leaving only cold resolve. At thirteen, the emperor ordered his death, but Lucien escaped, carrying nothing but hatred and a desire for vengeance. Years later, he returned at the head of a rebellion—killing the emperor, the crown prince, and every relative who could threaten him. The kingdom whispered his new name: The Slaying Emperor. Yet power could not fill the emptiness inside him—until he saw her. Eyes like the ocean, calm and unafraid, drew his obsession. From that night, Lucien vowed: she would be his, no matter what he must destroy, until the world left her dependent on him… and him alone.
