Once upon a time, in the sea of stars, a royal painter and a knight commander lived alongside the king and queen of a kingdom. Though with their own problems, the family was joyful and always faced every day with a smile. The queen with her garden and the king with his stories. They were a happy family, and as they're destined, they lived a happily ever after... ...right? With red paint drenching the floor, the royal painter's question remained unanswered, even by a single sea daffodil that stood to observe what was left of their story.
