His whole body was trembling thanks to the chilly weather and fear of what's coming near, when Onew frantically scanned his surrounding in the dark of the night.
It was already been a month since he had to flee from his palace, alone and unprotected by his guards since they were already killed by the conqueror's army.
Weakened by scarce amount of food in the forest, sleep deprived, and constant attempt to hide from anyone while on the run, not only once he thinks about giving up hope and just surrender, or just end his life in peace, that if he doesn't remember about his father the late King saying to defend his life no matter what happens.
He was utterly alone and it was adding to his desperation. He was never alone, the reason was because he was the last prince of his kingdom, and the most fairest prince, that is. His family loves him and pampered him to the point that he was never allowed to wield a sword, because he was so delicate and frail and too beautiful to wield one, besides he will always have them to protect him. At least that's what his father and brothers thought.
But that seems to backfired at him now, and he felt so helpless when everyone of his family was being slaughtered in front of his very eyes. Every day he received news about the doom of his brothers life, and now he knows that he's the only one left from his family.
But he didn't have time to grieve, the last tears he shed was when he saw his father's head rolled out of his royal head a couple of weeks ago.
He didn't understand why such a simple problem could end with an annihilation of an entire nation like this, he never imagine that he could be the cause of it.

*Flashback*
It was a sunny day in the beginning of the spring and their kingdom was scheduled to receieve the representative of the Emperor.
That was the first time Onew could attend such a grand meeting since this year was his coming of age, when he can finally proclaimed himself as an adult. He was so full of himself and dressed up to fulfilled his duty as the last prince when he took his place in the hall.
From the moment he stepped inside, a lot of murmurs was heard, and eyes were falling on him like a shooting arrows. His pride swelled while thinking that he must attract attention because it was the first time he attend the grand meeting and they see him fit as a prince.
There was nothing wrong with the meeting, it was filled with laughter and relaxed atmosphere, but a strong tide was never seen on the surface of the calm river.
Nobody ever said anything to him about what happen, then suddenly out of the blue their family held an emergency meeting in the dark of the midnight.
"Onew, my boy, whatever you do, don't ever look back at us." His father, the king, strictly ordered him before his sudden leave that night, before his father's head was rolling on the floor when their enemy was flooding the room.
