The Tyrant's Comfort Doll

In the kingdom of Den Helder, ancient prophecy speaks of a dark-haired man with crimson eyes who will bring calamity upon the royal family. Born bearing these very features, Prince Rayton has lived his entire life under the shadow of suspicion and fear, earning him the bitter title of "the cursed one" among the palace court. Princess Setz, the youngest member of the royal family, has always watched her mysterious half-brother from afar, their interactions limited by court protocol and superstition. When circumstances take a dramatic turn, Setz finds herself granted an extraordinary second chance—somehow transported back five years into her own past. Armed with knowledge of what may come, she now faces an impossible task: befriending the isolated prince everyone fears and unraveling the truth behind the prophecy that has condemned him. But as Setz works to understand the real Rayton hidden beneath years of rejection and resentment, she discovers that changing destiny is far more complicated than simply altering a few key moments. As palace intrigue thickens and hidden agendas emerge from every corner, Setz must navigate not only the treacherous waters of court politics but also her growing connection to a prince who was never meant to be trusted. In a world where prophecy and free will collide, the question remains: can one person's kindness truly rewrite what fate has already decreed?
