Story Description:
In the opulent kingdom of Varethis, where golden festivals light up the skies and royalty rules without question, one boy hides in the shadows of silk and celebration - unseen, unloved, unwanted.
Dunk - the quiet, kind-hearted step-son of a noble house - is treated as less than a servant. Forced to cook, clean, and serve in silence while his stepmother and stepbrothers bask in riches, his only crime was being born to the wrong mother. To them, he is dirt beneath their shoes - and during the kingdom's grand spring festival, they plan to finally rid themselves of him.
But fate has other plans.
From the royal balcony, Crown Prince Joong - ruthless, feared, and infamous for his cold heart - spots a lone boy among the crowd, skin kissed by moonlight, hands calloused from labor, eyes holding something too pure for this world. He doesn't know his name. Doesn't care about his blood. All he knows is one thing:
"Find him. He belongs to me now."
And when Joong learns of Dunk's cruel family, he doesn't just take him - he buys him.
A deal is made. A life is stolen. And a crown claims its lamb.
But Joong didn't expect softness to feel like fire.
And Dunk never imagined captivity could look like freedom.
This is a story of obsession, royalty, and a love that shouldn't exist.
Because the crown prince doesn't fall in love.
He owns it.
