BOUND BY WAR | YEONGYU

When Beomgyu crossed the enemy border, he knew he was playing with fire. When he got captured, he accepted his fate. Everyone knows what happens to prisoners of war
Especially when they fall into the hands of Ashenford.

The kingdom itself is weirdly cruel. Story about them flow like an essence.
Low whispers and tragic events.
Out of all a name is brought up repeatedly.

Choi yeonjun.

The crown prince of Ashenford.
They call him the Blood Prince. A ruthless, untouchable monster wrapped in silk and gold. Beomgyu braced himself for the worst: torture, humiliation, and a swift execution.
Instead, Yeonjun shows up at his cell.
Every single night.

At first, it's just psychological warfare. Sharp insults, low threats, and heavy silence. Beomgyu refuses to beg, and Yeonjun refuses to explain why he keeps coming back. But as the nights bleed into weeks, the walls between them start to crack.

Behind Yeonjun's icy exterior, Beomgyu finds a man suffocating under the weight of a crown he never asked for and a father crueler than any enemy army. And Yeonjun realizes the reckless prince he was taught to hate is intelligent, fiercely loyal, and entirely captivating.
But,
Someone in the ashenford court is plotting a coup. Assassins are moving in the shadows, and a decades-old secret about how this war actually started is about to come to light.

With the kingdom fracturing and war looming closer than ever, Yeonjun is left with a choice he never thought he'd have to make:
Protect the empire he was born to rule... or betray everything for the one person he was raised to destroy.
