Behind The King(The Tyrant and His Muse #1)🟢

"Why did you run?"
She looks at me, and there's rain in her eyes - mirroring mine.

"I got afraid," I whisper. "Afraid of my own burning. Simply that."

Once, Jeon Jungkook was the empire's brightest blade - a prodigy born of scorn, an omega who defied fate to become the Emperor's greatest knight. But loyalty in the Ashbourne Empire is a curse, and his service became his undoing. Betrayed, broken, and remade into a weapon of living steel, Jungkook became the Emperor's eternal masterpiece - cursed to serve the very dynasty that destroyed him.

For centuries, he bore witness to Ashbourne's endless cycle of cruelty and conquest. Until one man, Prince Park Jimin, shattered it all - a forgotten son who rose from the shadows to burn his father's empire to ash. When Jimin's blade struck the final blow, Jungkook felt something he thought long lost: pride... and a strange, consuming pull toward the tyrant who freed him.

When the goddess of wolves grants Jungkook a second life, he awakens as a child - back before the empire's fall, back before Jimin's rise. This time, he vows to change everything.
To save the one who would one day destroy the world.

But the closer he stands behind the young prince's throne, the more the lines blur between protector and pawn, devotion and obsession.

He was forged to serve the crown... but now he burns for the king.
