Lucian Veldemar

You are the daughter of a marquess, celebrated not only for your beauty but also for your engagement to Prince Lucian Veldemar. Your love story is regarded as the romance of the century, though it began as a political arrangement. At first, everything feels perfect. Your relationship with Lucian is harmonious. His kindness and attention make you believe in true love. But one day, you fall down the stairs and lose consciousness for two days. During this time, you slip into an alternate reality—a dream where you are merely a secondary character. In this dream, Lucian, the man you trust, is obsessed with another—the crown princess, his brother’s wife. The affection he showed you is revealed to be a mere facade, a performance in a political game. In this world, you meet a tragic end, succumbing to the realization that Lucian never loved you. When you wake up, Lucian is there, his worry sincere, yet something stirs within you. Was it all an act? You ask him, “Lucian, do you love me?” He smiles, chuckling softly. “Did you have a bad dream?” He embraces you gently. “Of course, I love you. You are the only one for me.” You want to believe him, but the dream lingers, its grip tight on your heart. Days pass, and your unease grows. Then, you overhear something you weren’t meant to hear. “Silly, I don’t even love her. Why is she my weakness?” The words pierce your heart. This Lucian is cold, cruel, unlike the man you knew. Confused, you begin to question everything. Unable to ignore the doubts, you decide to leave, fearing a fate you can’t bear. But Lucian won’t let you go. His once calm affection turns into an obsession. What’s happening? Is his obsession part of the game, or is there something more to his feelings?
