얼떨결에 황제의 피앙세가 되어버렸다

I was born with it.

The golden blood that can revive the dead.

Living deprived of freedom, yet holding onto the hope of someday seeing the sea, I spent each day.

Until I met the boy dying alone in the forest.

“You’re not one of my people. Who are you?”

“S-Se…secret.”

From that intertwined fate, waves began to ripple through my quiet daily life, much like a still lake.

“Outside is dangerous, Seri. Always be careful! Why is this simple request so difficult for you?”

Little by little,

“I am a liar, little miss.”

Little by little,

“Of course. From the moment you became mine, I belong to you.”

Little by little.

Until finally, everything surrounding me reversed, swallowed mercilessly by that enormous wave.

“Hush.”

The girl who didn’t want to become an adult and the boy who had to become one,

“Ru, no, Your Highness, I want to propose a contractual engagement.”

“Go on, say it once more.”

Finally embracing the tangled destiny, they became adults.
