"Prologue: A Kingdom Shattered
In the city of kings, where virtue was measured by the purity of one's heart, a sinister force lurked, threatening to destroy the very fabric of tradition. Amidst laughter and cheer, a lone figure wept in the shadows, suffocating under the weight of guilt and isolation.
Lily, a vision of loveliness, had been forgotten by society. Her beauty masked a depth of pain, a wellspring of vengeance waiting to be unleashed. On the day of joyous celebration, a wedding that promised unity and happiness, Lily's world imploded.
With a dagger's deadly kiss, she struck down the man she loved, Andrew, the mysterious prince whose true intentions had shattered her heart. As Venus, the bride, stood frozen in her wedding finery, tears streaming down her face, the king's fury boiled over.
'Kill her!' he bellowed, condemning Lily to death.
But Lily's defiance would not be silenced. With an evil smile, she broke free from her captors and seized the wine tray, shattering it upon Andrew's battered form. 'Death, why dost thou evade me?' she cried, her anguish echoing through the halls.
The king summoned the physician, but Lily knew Andrew would survive. As she fled the castle, a vow burned within her: 'I will return, and your life will be mine.'
But what darkness had driven this prince to deserve such hatred? The kingdom trembled, unaware of the tempest brewing, as Lily vanished into the shadows, her heart ablaze with an unquenchable thirst for vengeance."
