Part 1
Title: Happiness After All
This is a historical romance manhwa inspired story! :D
Description: After being blamed for the assassination of his older brother, Edwin is determined to get revenge on all those involved. Including killing his father who gave the order, and the neighboring king who carried out the deed. Though, he couldn't have expected the king's dying wish to be taking care of his daughter, Joona, crown princesses of the Dardanos Kingdom. What is he to do as the lady is unrelenting in finding out the truth about why he killed her father, and why he cried when doing so…

"Please...take care of my daughter, Joona. After Daeung's death, when I could no longer face you, she was all I had."
"I will. Her happiness is guaranteed, Myro."
A faint chuckle escaped the king, blood bursting from his lips. Wincing, he gingerly reached for the blade lodged in his chest, recoiling from the chilly sensation.
It was the same dagger that killed my brother, Daeung. Saved for this very moment. The king's eyes flickered in recognition.
He brushed his hand against my face once more.
"Tula, un dio, umbrosa doromoto."
And that was all.
