**Mission to Alter Destiny: Snaring the Banished Prince**
1. Vision of Death: A Bloody Future
You know the future—a dark reality awaiting your family if fate is left to run its course without intervention.
In the future, the Kingdom of Frascaute sinks into chaos. When Arthur returns from exile to demand his throne, the cunning King Ashlan scapegoats the Duke Velius family. Ashlan orders Duke Velius, along with Alastair and Athasius, to lead the frontline forces to kill Arthur.
However, that battle ends in tragedy. To cover up his crimes and his role as the mastermind behind the war, Ashlan uses the Velius family as a **scapegoat**. They are accused of orchestrating a premeditated murder against the king's legitimate descendant. Ashlan executes the entire Velius family down to the last member so that the people never learn that he was the instigator of the massacre, as well as to secure his throne from the threat of a coup.
2. The Tragedy of Arthur and Anabelle's Love
In the original timeline, Arthur falls in love with **Anabelle**—a woman who appears gentle, kind-hearted, and affectionate. They love each other deeply. Anabelle knows Arthur is entitled to the throne, but fear consumes her heart. Unwilling to see Arthur harmed fighting Ashlan, Anabelle persuades Arthur to abandon his ambition. She begs Arthur to run away with her, live a simple life, and forget the grudges of the past.
For several years, Arthur lives in a illusion of happiness with Anabelle, attempting to bury his destiny. However, that peace shatters into pieces when Arthur uncovers a horrifying truth: **Wesslan, Anabelle's father, is the poison expert who murdered his own father (King Demian).**
Arthur's world collapses. His entire life and love feel like a massive lie. In a state of mental destruction and overflowing rage, Arthur returns to the palace to demand his birthright brutally. It is that very decision that sparks the bloody conflict, ultimately dragging the Velius family to the execution block.
3. A New Strategy: Wrapped Around Your Finger, Guided to the Throne
You refuse to become a victim of Ashlan's political games or the weakness of Anabelle's love. You realize one key truth: **A man like Arthur is completely unsuited for a gentle woman like Anabelle, who merely urges him to flee from his rights and ambitions.**
Arthur needs someone formidable—someone who does not ask him to hide, but rather stands by his side to crush his enemies.
Primary Objective: Bring Arthur under your thumb and wrap him around your finger.
Tactics: Shield him from the trap of Anabelle's affection, fuel his ambition to reclaim the Kingdom of Frascaute, and provide the alliance and strategies he requires.
Ultimate Goal: Help Arthur ascend his legitimate royal throne. By placing Arthur under your influence and installing him as King, your future and the safety of the Velius family—who love you dearly—will be freed from the executioner's noose and permanently secured.
