The Return of the Emperor Blood on His Hands
The more Zane thought about it, the more the feeling pressed against his ribs, suffocating him with the weight of memory. That scent—sweet, cloying, unmistakably vanilla, was not just a fragrance. It was a memory. A ghost of a woman he had long convinced himself was buried beneath earth and time. He almost laughed at himself. Impossible. She’s dead. She’s gone. She can’t be here.And yet… she was the only one he had ever known who carried that fragrance like a curse. No perfume pouch in the entire Kangyu could mimic that scent, no flower in the royal gardens smelled quite the same. It was her. The one he thought he’d never see again.The one who haunted his sleepless nights and drove him to clench his fists till his knuckles burned.He tried to shake it off, to remind himself of what mattered more. The Crown Prince. The role of a guard. Vaani’s warning still rang in his ears: “If you want to keep that head of yours attached to your shoulders, you’d better act wisely.” But reason falte
The Return of the Emperor The Stench of Vanilla
Zane leaned against the cold marble just outside the throne room. The Crown Prince was inside with the King and Princess Vaani—while he, supposedly Yeonho, stood outside like a loyal dog.A loyal dog who did not trust the other mutt posted beside him.Kim Gguk. The boy with the stiff shoulders and side-eyes sharp enough to cut glass. Zane caught him glancing again and almost laughed. To anyone else, maybe he looked harmless. But Zane knew better. Because under that boyish face and docile act lurked Lorenzo Kim. The man who had practically danced over their corpses in another life.Now here they were again, forced to play nice in a palace full of knives.The sun had already slid past the horizon, bleeding the last of its gold across the palace walls, and the bells of dinner would toll soon. Inside, the royalty were probably deciding the fate of that poor family princess brought from the woods. Zane didn’t care much. He only half-listened to the murmurs drifting from beyond the heavy d
The Return of the Emperor Seed of Jealousy or Something Worse
The door finally opened, and the woman stepped out. Gguk nearly toppled forward in his haste. “How is she?” His voice cracked, and he hated how desperate it sounded. His feet carried him into the room before the woman could even answer. Heart pounding so hard he swore the lady must hear it.And then he saw her.Princess Vaani was lying on a straw mattress, pale and still, lashes pressed against her cheeks as if even her body was too weary to hold them open. She didn’t look like the sharp flame who barked orders and shot hawks out of the sky. She didn’t look untouchable, radiant, terrifying. She looked breakable. A porcelain figure set down in a shack that could barely hold itself up. It was the second time in the past 5 hours when he realised how human she was, how delicate she was.“She’ll be alright,” the woman said gently, noticing the way his hands shook. “The wound spared her organs. I stitched it. But she’s lost blood. She’ll be weak for days. She’s on sedatives for now. But wh
The Return of the Emperor The Clumsiest Masquerade
Zane adjusted the blonde wig with a flick of his fingers and grinned at his reflection in the polished bronze mirror. Yeonho’s uniform fit him snugly, the weight of the sword at his hip both foreign and delicious. He puffed out his chest, strutting around the dorm room like a peacock who’d stolen another bird’s feathers.“So,” the kid, Tae, the nervous little physician—whispered as he scrambled to keep pace. “Did anyone recognize you?”Zane flashed a wide smile, revealing his gums. “Not at all,” he said, smug satisfaction dripping from every syllable. He turned on his heel dramatically, letting the cloak swirl around him. “I was nervous at first, sure. But now?” His grin deepened as he tapped his chest. “I feel invincible. Perfectly capable of carrying myself. After all…” He sprawled across Yeonho’s bed as though it were a throne, folding his arms behind his head. “All those years in the mafia paid off.”The young physician blinked, frowning. “Ma…phia? What’s that?”He almost wanted t
The Return of the Emperor The Disgraced Heir
The kick landed hard enough to knock the air out of him. Do-won’s body folded in on itself, collapsing to the cold stone floor like a broken reed. His lips split against his teeth, and the sharp taste of iron flooded his mouth.The voice that followed was colder still."Oh, how I wish your mother had died before you were born." The king’s hiss lanced straight through him, deeper than any kick could. A second blow cracked into his ribs, sharp, relentless. He coughed, a ragged sound that spilled blood onto the tiles. His hands trembled as he tried to push himself up, but his body wouldn’t obey.“What… did I—” he gasped, his voice trembling. “—do?”Another kick slammed into the same spot. Pain flared white-hot. His father did not strike once or twice; he struck again and again, until Do-won felt the world blur at its edges and his chest rattled with blood.When the assault paused, it was not mercy. It was calculation.The king crouched, seized his son by the collar, and dragged him uprig
The Return of the Emperor Kim Gguk
The forest had never felt so endless.The royal guard, Kim Gguk, shifted from one foot to the other, leaning against the horses where the princess had ordered him to stay.He tried to look calm—dutiful, obedient—but his insides had been chewing themselves raw for the better part of an hour. The shadows between the trees stretched long and crooked, like black claws reaching out from the earth. Every gust of wind cut through his clothes, nipping at his skin, but it wasn’t the cold that made his teeth chatter.It was the silence. The kind that pressed in on his ears and made him feel like something was waiting.She had been gone too long.At first, he had consoled himself. It’s fine. She’s fine. She’s Princess Vaani. She doesn’t need me. He repeated that over and over. She wasn’t like the noble ladies who fainted at the sight of dirt under their nails. He’d seen her loose arrows with a speed that made his jaw drop. She could hit a hawk in flight, probably blindfolded if she felt like sho
