Synopsis
Sixteen years after witnessing the brutal murder of his parents, a prince forged by grief grows into a man of cold discipline and merciless ambition. His only purpose: to avenge the ones he lost. When he discovers an organization that promises the same goal, he believes fate has aligned with his vengeance. But the truth is darker—the group is a trap, woven by the Shadows, worshippers of the Evernight Goddess, the very force behind his parents’ death. Unaware, the prince falls into a forbidden love with the Goddess herself. She, torn between her undying loyalty to vengeance and the fragile warmth of his affection, cannot sever the bond. Their love blooms in secrecy, shadowed by betrayal. When the prince uncovers the truth, he embraces forbidden dark magic, raising an army of himself to wage war. The Goddess, bound by love yet chained to her purpose, cannot strike him down. In the end, she begs for release, and he grants it—piercing her heart with sorrow, sealing the moment with a kiss upon her brow. But the dark magic overwhelms him, twisting the dove into a monster. He destroys the kingdom he swore to protect. When humanity returns, he sees the ruin he has wrought. To end the cycle of misery, he takes his own life, the final act of a caged soul that could never truly fly free.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Centuries ago a rumor in the east was spreading like a bushfire, it was to be said:

"The princess of Valtherra is born under a blue moon making her a symbol of misfortune!"

How is a blue moon representing mistfoturne? Well there has been a tale of the first princess born under a blue moon but has never been finished, no ending not even a cliff hanger, nothing. But how the tale goes...

A royal family in the south called Taroccot had a daughter given birth under a blue moon, the young girl grew up to be compassionate, kind, loyal, honest, caring and more. 

The townspeople would chatter in joy:

"A perfect fit to be a queen!"

"Us Taroccot citizens are lucky to have such an amazing princess!"

"I heard from the church a blue moon is where God hands us a blessing as the princess truly is a miracle!"

Though inside the castle, exactly at midnight, suspicious things happen and the king and queen have a theory it must came from their daughter's room but they doubt it and shake the thought away and simply think it's nothing. Then that is when the story ends sadly, so no one knows whether the theory of the king and queen is true or not. So what really happened at the end?
