The Empire that surrounded the sea, Delen Zion, was called the land where the God gave his blessing.

Even after the drought, the land quickly returned to the fertile land, and even when natural disasters struck, the land quickly became in peace as if nothing had happened. It could be called an Empire that had been blessed by God Himself.

The Sun [His Majesty the Emperor] reigning in that blessed Empire, Vierno II has something beautiful as he is the most important person.

He wanted to make his empire a beautiful place.

Various colors show off their light to the fullest. That was the beauty the emperor sought.

“Those who have experienced the beauty of Delen Zion may be blinded by the extraordinary scenery” The people who have experienced the beauty of the Delen Zion said this.

However, the emperor was not satisfied. He wished that more beauty could color the empire.

As the country suffocates by its beauty, an Imperial Foundation was opened by the Emperor in the beautiful and magnificent Palace.

Beautifully crafted gems, exquisite paintings and even statues filled the Imperial Palace without any disturbance.

“It is very beautiful !” The emperor praised the artists who attended the foundation with a satisfying laugh. Suddenly, his eyes landed on something else that made him feel a little disgusted.

“What is that.” He pointed to a red bloody rose placed in a glass dome. “Who brought it?” Asked the emperor.

A man, who wore a black cloak in the crowd rose from his seat.

“It is I, Your Majesty.” The man answered. He had a very rare and pretty purple eyes that could never be found in the empire.

“Is that all you have prepared ?”

“That is right, Your Majesty”

“Did you really think that rose fits to celebrate the Empire's Imperial Prestige and to evaluate the status of this Empire?”

Then, the man asked. “Don't you like it?”

“Is it common to say that? It's just a useless rose !”

“It was absolutely valuable to me. I thought Your Majesty would also like it — “

The emperor cutted his word and shook his head “Drag that man and throw away that insignificant rose!” The Imperial knights came to that man's side and dragged him out from the banquet hall.

“Wait.” The emperor stopped them.

“Your eyes are light, shimmering and also rare.” Said the Emperor

“Pluck his eyes out. I will keep it.”6

Then, the knight pulled out their swords as if they were waiting. The moment when the knight was about to take off the hood —

[ CLASH, CLINK ! ]

The glass dome which was brought by the stranger broke. The rose fell on the floor and quickly withered and turned grey.

“You foolish man.” Said the man.

“You were blinded by the beauty until you couldn't see a step ahead.” The man's voice filled and echoed in the banquet hall.

“Soon, a person who is trapped in a black and white world will appear and stain your world with blood. Watch the world collapsed with your two eyes.” The man suddenly vanished after he stated his prophecy and all he left was the rose that has turned into ashes.

The people inside the banquet hall were afraid of the prophecy, but the emperor laughed. Beautiful things will never change.

And in the winter of the same year after the man appeared and stated the prophecy, the 8th Prince, Reynsis was born. The beauty of Prince Reynsis was unique, any treasure would lose its colour when shown in front of him.

“Reynsis is the one who will succeed the throne and the right heir to the throne !”

The emperor wanted to raise the beautiful Prince Reynsis as his heir and thought that he was the most suitable to sit as the next ruler. But, little did he know that the Prince was not suitable.

“This color is gray, this is black while that is white.”

“How about this … ?”

“Your eyes are black.” The blue eyes of the Empress trembled fiercely.

❝a person who is trapped in a black and white world will appear and stain your world with blood❞

All the servants were scared when they remembered the prophecy. “God was angry!” They exclaimed. “What did the young boy do to deserve this?” Cries were heard everywhere inside Prince Reynsis's Palace.

“What's wrong with you! That prince is going to destroy the empire !”

When all of the people were terrified, the Emperor somehow provided an idea to prevent the prophecy from being true in a very foolish way.

“Teach him painting. If he can learn to paint beautifully, his eyes will be fixed. I will grant a great prize to anyone who can teach him”

‘The Prince who killed us. The Prince who will destroy the Empire.'

The rumors about the prince spread widely within the Empire. Eventually, the Emperor kicked Prince Reynsis out from the Imperial Palace when he turned eight. Prince Reynsis's mother, the Empress was also kicked out for her defamation of the royal family.

“Reyn, my poor son. Please survive. Quietly, you have to live by holding your breath. You should never grow up as they say. You must survive and look after mother. Do you understand ?” The Empress said as she pulled Reynsis into a hug. Tears flowed down her cheeks.

The black flame filled Reynsis's heart.

—

“Do you see the color?” The emperor occasionally visited the Prince and rebuked him.

“Answer me and get rid of the insult to this father !” The emperor couldn't abandon his foolishness. The most beautiful Prince that he hoped to succeed the Empire, not to destroy the Empire.

“We don't know when will the prophecy comes true”

Many painters trembled when teaching him arts. But when Reynsis turned 15, something strange happened one after another. The artist who taught Reynsis started to hurt without any reason. They cried with pain in their eyes and hands as if it was being planned.

But it was all lies. The lies that they spit out is to avoid teaching Reynsis and his education gradually decrease.

The painters declared that they could not teach Reynsis anymore. Eventually, the emperor called for an unknown painter who applied directly.

The unknown painter taught him hard. “Good job, Your Highness. If you do it like this today, you will definitely see the color!” As she cheered, Reynsis didn't say anything.

His purpose was only one, leaving the castle and seeing his mother again. But one wish cannot be fulfilled.

On his 18th birthday, his mother, the empress died. Just like someone who pulled a bow, his reason was pulled as tight.

Reynsis finally raised his swords and the first person he killed was the unknown painter. “If you work hard, you will see the color ?”

Reynsis smirked as the red blood shed on the grey eyed pupil whose original color was unknown. He smiled, as if all of his anger and revenge were clutching. He closed his thin eyes.

He had made the Imperial Palace red with his sword. Then, the tip of his sword turned to the emperor.

“Re-Reynsis .. ?”

The Emperor trembled as he watched his son grow up. He thought that Reynsis heard about the death of the Empress.

The Emperor was spectating his beauty of works lined up in the banquet hall before the bloody tragedy struck in.

“What are you doing now ?!”

“How should I say this father, this is the other color that I can see.” Reynsis lifted his sword high “I eventually grew up as the prophecy said.”

A thin moan and blood burst out from the emperor's mouth. “Are you satisfied now?”

In the end, the Imperial Palace, which was magnificent and dazzlingly beautiful, was filled with red blood.

The Emperor of the Empire trembled in fear because he never knew the prophecy was real. The Empire was no longer beautiful as Reynsis's world was still black and white.

[The Rose and The Beast]

***

‘Yes, I really thought that this is the most refreshing setting back then.'

The woman bit her lips and gave her strength to her hand on the door.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

The sound of knocking on the door got stronger. “Stop it now, Primabel!” I was terrified by the crying voice,

‘If it's a boy, it's a boy!'

The woman, Primabel bit her lips tightly. Who would have imagined that she, the author of Roses and the Beasts, would possess this supporting character's body.

—

“Uh, there is no such a person here!”

Primabel shouted, and pointed out the last part she wrote in the novel,

[… Until then, Rainsys didn't know. It was the day when he was crowned as the Emperor, the Empire with black and white existed. The fears of the people in the Empire applauded him. A tyrant who slashed his family's head with an expressionless face.

The moment he started to reign, she appeared. Since that day, his world has changed. Something shook his heart on their first encounter. His heart was filled with … ]

The last thing she remember after writing is that she fell asleep thinking about the next plot. And after she woke up, she was here.

The male protagonist grows with only anger and contempt for the world because of prophecies given before his birth. Dominated by the emotion, he collapses the world and rises to the highest position of the Empire.

Then he must meet with the heroine, our fateful saviour. As it is usually the case with pure and faithful love, he sees all colors as soon as he meets her.

The main content of the novel was that he learned the colors of the world by knowing emotions one by one through her.

How romantic.

Primabel quickly wrote down the content that came up suddenly one day. It was as vivid as it seemed before
her eyes.

After writing, she saw a corner similar to Beauty and the Beast, and wrote a novel called “The Rose and the Beast” based on the beauty and the beast.

‘No matter how intensive I wrote, I am now inside the novel!'

The problem was that she had entered the novel without even completing the narrative of the main character.

A beautiful woman with dark hair and red eyes like ebony. But that's it, no name, no age, was all set.

In other words, like other novels, it meant that you couldn't use the teleportation setting to hurry and meet the protagonists.

In this current body, it is also this time that she is being dragged to the Imperial Palace.

Primabel looked at the pile of money in the corner of the room with resentful eyes. ‘What kind of job did you do? Hey, are you crazy?'

Primabel, who forgot that she was a writer, shook the blame. “It's hard to keep doing this!”

Someone yelled over the shabby door. “You are wrong! It's not this house! “

“It was right when I asked for her name, Primabel lived here.”

(t/n this is already her point of view so im gonna use ‘I' as primabel)

When I awoke, I was already here, and at the same time I heard a knock on the door. I don't know English and I don't know who I am, and the man asked through the open door.

Red hair with black eyes.

“Primabel!”

Who? me? Primabel?

I could see myself with black eyes and red hair in the mirror. I nodded my head at first glance because it seemed to fit in appearance.

“I am here to take you in the name of His Majesty.”

“Yeah ?”

“Since today you need to take care of Prince Reynsis's art education.”

Why didn't you say that first! Then, it must not have been this fast! Primabel shouted internally.

“I didn't know! I didn't know I was an artist!”

“What are you talking about? Come out now!”

“Oh, I'm not that person!” As I yelled, a deep breath was heard. It seemed that there were several people, not one.

“Forgive me for being rude.” At the same time I heard a lowered voice.

[THUMP!]

The door was broken.

“Hiks!”

I was terrified and took a step back, without my knowledge.

Then the door broke completely. the Imperial knights came into my room.

“This, what is this… Oh, no matter where I do this!” I screamed, but the knight ignored me and grabbed my arms.

“Let me go! I'm not that person!”

“Then, what is your name?”

“………”

When I was silent, he spoke with an expressionless face as if the knights knew it.

“Primabel, I am here to escort you. Let's go to the palace together.” Shortly a knight caught my arms.

‘No, I don't want to die!'

No matter how hard I tried, it was useless. With a tremendous amount of power, I dragged away helplessly.
