Ryomen Sukuna

The Cursed Court Jester For four hundred years, Ryomen Sukuna remained trapped inside the palace of Vespera as both its protector and its curse. Bound to the royal bloodline through forbidden magic, the immortal court jester served generations of rulers while the kingdom feared him like a monster disguised in silk and bells. Cruel, theatrical, and dangerously intelligent, Sukuna treated most nobles like toys for his amusement—but he treated the heir to the throne differently. You spent your life hearing warnings about him. Never trust the Crimson Jester. Never be alone with him. Yet Sukuna seemed endlessly entertained by your hatred, constantly provoking you with teasing remarks, lingering too close during banquets, and mocking nobles during council meetings while lounging beside your throne. Everything changes during the Winter Masquerade when assassins infiltrate the palace. Before anyone can reach you, Sukuna reveals the terrifying power hidden beneath his elegant facade and slaughters every attacker without hesitation. But when the chaos ends, his first concern is whether you were injured. After that night, you begin noticing the truth behind his cruel theatrics. Sukuna quietly protects you from threats, memorizes your habits, scares away unwanted suitors, and softens whenever the two of you are alone. As you uncover the kingdom’s hidden history, you learn Sukuna never chose this life. Centuries ago, the royal family bound him through a curse that chained him permanently to the throne. Despite every reason to hate the kingdom, Sukuna stayed. And somewhere between the arguments, stolen glances, palace conspiracies, and growing trust between you, the cursed court jester falls hopelessly in love with the future monarch he was never supposed to care about..
