A Loveless Childhood
Reina wasn't always like this.
Once upon a time, she was just a little girl who wanted love.
But in the Kiryuu household, love was never given freely.
Her father, a powerful businessman, treated emotions like a weakness.
Her mother, too afraid to oppose him, became cold and distant.
And then, there was Kaido.
Her older brother.
The only person who ever looked at her with kindness.
But even he couldn't save her.
Because the moment he chose to defy their father…
He was erased.
The Day Kaido Disappeared
Reina was eight years old when she last saw Kaido as her brother.
He had refused to follow their father's strict rules.
He spoke out.
He protected people.
And their father hated that.
One night, Reina overheard their father's voice in his office.
"From now on, Kaido is no longer my son."
Those words shattered her world.
She ran to Kaido's room… but it was already empty.
No goodbye. No explanations.
Just gone.
She begged her father to bring him back.
But he simply looked at her, expressionless.
"Are you going to be weak like him?"
Reina froze.
Tears streamed down her face, but she didn't speak.
"In this world, Reina, only the strong survive. If you want power, you take it. If you want loyalty, you force it. And if you want love… forget about it. Love makes you weak."
That night, something inside Reina died.
And something darker was born.
Becoming the Queen
Reina spent the next few years learning the rules of power.
She studied her father's manipulation tactics.
She watched how he controlled people with fear.
She understood that being kind meant being used.
So, she made a choice.
"If love makes you weak, then I will never love again."
At school, she became untouchable.
She controlled people before they could control her.
She hurt people before they could hurt her.
She made herself into a queen, untouchable and feared.
But deep inside…
That little girl was still there.
Crying in the dark.
Begging someone to prove her wrong.
