Chapter 1: The Golden Cage
The Kingdom of Seohae was beautiful, but to Prince Kim Taehyung, it was a golden cage. Tonight, the grand palace was alive with music and laughter. Huge glass chandeliers lit up the grand ballroom, reflecting off the expensive silk dresses of the wealthy nobles.
Taehyung stood near the heavy velvet curtains, keeping his head low. To the outside world, he was the "Favored Prince," the most loved child of the king. The kingdom’s propaganda painted him as a spoiled, delicate omega who got everything he desired.
In reality, the expensive silk robes he wore were only meant to hide the dark purple bruises on his back. His brother, Hyunjae, had kicked him down the stone stairs just that morning. Taehyung breathed softly, using special herbs to hide his rare, sweet jasmine scent. If the cruel alphas in the room smelled his distress, his life would become even worse. He just wanted to disappear into the shadows.
Suddenly, the heavy palace doors burst open. The music stopped instantly. A cold wind rushed into the room, followed by a messenger wearing the midnight-black armor of the Hwanseong Empire.
The entire room grew deathly quiet. Everyone knew that armor. It belonged to Emperor Jeon Jungkook, the terrifying Enigma who ruled the north with an iron fist. The messenger marched directly to the throne, holding a scroll sealed with blood-red wax. He did not bow.
Messenger
"A message from His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Jeon Jungkook," the messenger announced, his voice echoing off the high walls. "To keep the peace between our lands, Hwanseong demands a royal marriage alliance."
King Kim Seongjae/MC'S Father
King Seongjae smiled greedily, leaning forward on his throne. "Which princess does the Emperor wish to marry?"
Messenger
The messenger looked straight at the corner where Taehyung stood. "None. The Emperor demands your most beloved child, Prince Kim Taehyung."
Taehyung felt his heart stop. The room began to spin as the nobles turned to look at him, whispering in shock.
"Did I hear that correctly?" a noble whispered in the back.
"Why would the Emperor want a prince?" another voice murmured.
King Kim Seongjae/MC'S Father
King Seongjae lied smoothly to the crowd, "He is our most precious treasure, but for peace, we must consider it."
Messenger
"This demand is absolute," the messenger stated firmly.
King Kim Seongjae/MC'S Father
"Taehyung, step forward," King Seongjae commanded.
Kim Taehyung/MC
"Please, no," Taehyung whispered under his breath, taking a trembling step forward into his new fate.

Chapter 2: The Mask Shatters
The moment the foreign messenger left, the fake smiles vanished from the royal family’s faces.
King Seongjae grabbed Taehyung’s arm tightly, dragging him into the private council room and throwing him onto the hard floor.
Taehyung didn't make a sound. He was used to the rough treatment. He simply sat up slowly, wiping a bit of blood from his cracked lip. His older brother, Crown Prince Hyunjae, stepped forward with a cruel laugh.
Kim Hyunjae/MC's Step Bro
"Look at the useless bastard," Hyunjae laughed, kicking Taehyung's foot. "You are finally good for something."
Queen Han Mira/MC's Step Mom
"The Enigma Emperor wants to punish our kingdom," Queen Han Mira said with a satisfied smirk. "He thinks he is taking our precious treasure. Let him take this trash instead."
Taehyung looked at his father, his eyes pleading. He knew the rumors about Emperor Jungkook. The man was a ruthless beast who had lost his parents in a bloody massacre and blamed Seohae. If Jungkook took him, thinking he was the beloved prince, Taehyung would face all of the Emperor’s built-up rage.
Kim Taehyung/MC
"Father, please," Taehyung whispered, his voice trembling as he held his bruised chest. "The Emperor hates our family. If I go there, he will kill me."
King Seongjae walked over and smashed his hand across Taehyung’s face, sending him back to the floor.
King Kim Seongjae/MC'S Father
"You will go, and you will pretend to be our perfect prince. If you tell them the truth about your position here, I will personally execute your little maid, Mira."
Kim Taehyung/MC
"Why do you hate me so much?" Taehyung sobbed, losing his composure for a brief second.
Queen Han Mira/MC's Step Mom
"Because your mother was a parasite," the Queen spat bitterly.
King Kim Seongjae/MC'S Father
"You will save this kingdom by dying in Hwanseong," his father stated coldly, turning his back.
Kim Hyunjae/MC's Step Bro
"Should we pack his expensive silks?" Hyunjae mocked.
Queen Han Mira/MC's Step Mom
"Yes, make him look like a spoiled brat," Queen Mira laughed.
King Kim Seongjae/MC'S Father
"Do not disappoint me, boy," the King warned.
Kim Taehyung/MC
"I understand, Father," Taehyung whispered into the dark floor, accepting his doom.
