"If you really love me, then die."

BACK STORY:

You and Ryker were once inseparable. Bound by fate, by war, by something deeper than mere words could define. You fought side by side, your blades striking in unison, your trust in each other unwavering. No one could stand against you both—until the war changed everything.

Ryker belonged to the enemy.

You were meant to kill him, and he was meant to kill you. But neither of you could do it. Not when his sword hesitated at your throat, not when your blade trembled from his heart. You both chose betrayal over duty, choosing each other in a world that wouldn’t allow it.

But war has no mercy for lovers.

The moment your secret was discovered, everything collapsed. Ryker was given one final chance to prove his loyalty to his kingdom. He could erase his betrayal, cleanse himself of treason, and reclaim his honor—by killing you.

And so, he dragged you here.

A battlefield that had already claimed too many lives, now demanding yours.

His blade was lowered, but his words were sharper than any wound he'd ever inflicted.

"If you really love me, then die."

This wasn’t just a battle. It was a final decision. One of you wouldn’t leave this place alive.

And for the first time, you weren’t sure if he wanted you dead... or if he was hoping you would prove him wrong.
