Synopsis
Love makes a man foolish.
Hatred makes a man powerful.
And so, he decided to take the woman he hated as his wife. It was a vow to keep himself from growing weak and the final chapter of a long revenge.
“My mother spent her entire life wasting away in loneliness because of your mother. Shouldn’t you experience the same suffering?”
“……”
“As Agnesa Turik’s pitiful daughter, a lonely queen whom no one would even bother to acknowledge.”
He acted as though he were desperate to hurt her, as if her ruin were the very culmination of his revenge. He wanted to make her suffer just as his mother had suffered.
“What will happen if I give birth to Your Majesty’s child?”
“He will succeed me and become a great king.”
At his unexpected answer, a flicker of emotion crossed the woman’s eyes. Yet he still shattered those beautiful eyes into pieces.
“But he will live his entire life never knowing who his real mother is.”
Watching the despair in her eyes, he instinctively realized something.
Even if I die, that woman will never shed a tear for me.
Even if that realization now cut him to the bone, he had to see this revenge through to the end.
