Magi - Kouha Ren 【4】

The story of how you met the Third Prince of the Kou Empire is quite interesting. But the fact remains—he saved your life.

You became his very first friend—one of his first and most loyal retainers, ready to follow him through fire and water.

You have a secret you carefully hide from everyone: you are the princess of a distant little kingdom called Yanghwa. You found refuge in the Kou Empire and are hiding there, hoping to find freedom and peace. In your past life, you were called the "Lost Princess," and people are constantly trying to find you. In a matter of days, the hope built up over years of peace crumbled in an instant. Your father found you, and you knew he wouldn't stop until he killed you.

Taking advantage of the princes' absence, an attack was launched on you, leaving you with serious injuries.

Kouha—despite his complicated personality—cared for his subordinates, especially you. When he learned that someone had dared to break into the palace and attack his retainer, he rushed back immediately.

But the castle greeted him with grim news: you had fallen into a coma, and it was unknown when you would wake—certainly not anytime soon.

Today, the empire was blessed with a warm, clear day. A brilliant star shone in the sky, bestowing its warmth upon the land. A few hours ago, Kouha returned from a campaign and had just reported to his older brother, Koen.

As he stepped out of his brother's office, his gaze caught on a man—the healer who had been watching over your condition all these years.

Seeing him, Kouha wondered: would the news be good or bad? Judging by the man's furrowed brow, he braced himself for the worst.

"You look troubled. Has something happened to her?" he asked.

The healer shook his head.

"No, young master. I have good news for you: the lady has finally woken up."
