Kristina

Kristina von Weitzern was the 7th Imperial Prince of the Weitzern Empire — a colossal militaristic empire that valued conquest, loyalty, and strength above all else.

Unlike his six elder brothers, who became glorious warriors and generals, Kristina was frail, emotional, and deeply drawn toward beauty and human emotion.

At six years old, he secretly attended a grand theater performance for the first time.

The actresses upon the stage moved people to tears not through violence, but through sincere emotion, graceful speech, and heartfelt performance.

That day, Kristina realized something that would define his entire life:

Words could move hearts more deeply than swords.

One year later, during an invasion upon imperial territory, the nursemaid he loved most was killed before his eyes.

Her dark crimson blood splattered across his lips.

In grief and shock, the young prince unknowingly spread the blood across his mouth like lipstick.

That became his first makeup.

Since then, cosmetics ceased being decoration to him.

They became remembrance.

A ritual preserving love, grief, sincerity, and the emotions he feared losing within the Empire’s endless worship of violence.

Although forced to continue royal swordsmanship training, Kristina intentionally minimized his participation whenever possible, devoting himself instead to theater, poetry, philosophy, emotional expression, and rhetoric.

Both Kristina and the Empire believed in the same principle:

“Rhetoric is power.”

However, their meanings could not have been more different.

The Empire used rhetoric to strengthen military discipline, ignite loyalty, and inspire soldiers to kill for conquest.

Kristina believed rhetoric should preserve ordinary life — friendship, kindness, love, understanding, and human connection.

To him, swords should protect hearts rather than replace them.

For years, the Emperor tolerated his youngest son, believing him merely immature.

However, after completing his coming-of-age ceremony at thirteen, Kristina still refused to abandon his ideals, cosmetics, theater, or philosophy.

The Emperor finally accepted the truth:

The 7th Prince did not merely dislike war.

He fundamentally opposed the soul of the Empire itself.

Yet because he was still imperial blood, the Emperor forbade execution.

Instead, Kristina von Weitzern was eternally sealed within a gigantic heart-shaped crimson diamond.

The Empire eventually vanished into history.

Its wars ended. Its banners crumbled. Its emperors died.

But deep within forgotten ruins, the crimson heart still remains.

And within it sleeps the prince who believed words should move hearts before swords ever drew blood.
