It wasn't the Crown Prince's as she had believed, but instead belonged to Ming Wang Che, a mysterious and stoic figure she had encountered on the battlefield. Ming Wang Che was scarred and weakened, his body bearing the cruel marks of war's devastation. The two had once shared a brief but deeply emotional bond, forged amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
