#winter berdandi

🌹 The second collaboration cafe of Ak-en-juk will be held at Seoul Fantast! Who would have thought such a wonderful opportunity would come again? 😭

I heard that the garden is pretty, so I worked on a new illustration with the theme of Alice in Wonderland since it's summer ❤👑✨ I'm looking forward to the day I can visit too. Please show lots of interest! 💕

Winter: He is a strict but fair boss. The people of the empire love him very much, and I understand why. I think our empire is waiting for prosperity and years of calm.

Duke Eckhart: I think he will do a lot for the benefit of the empire. At least he's better than his predecessors (whispering: fucking boy).

Reynold: He's only on the throne because of my sister. He has no right to screw up, otherwise Penelope will rule the empire!

Eckles: ...

Derrick: who are you and how did you get into my house?

Penelope: he is hot, especially when he lies under me

He starts off wearing softer, lighter colors and it represents how he is still clinging on to that hope that he can save the world. His whole motif is rabbits and white and purple and i really like that. But with each time loop Vinter's design becomes darker, more disheveled with angular features like a popped collar or something. THEN, in the end his whole palette shifts; he has snake like motifs with black accents and of course red since the guy has so much blood on his hands.

I think i would start the story with Vinter already losing it, so his design would resemble a more transitionary stage where he isn't really evil yet but it's obvious that he isn't good. As much as i want to explore this AU where he starts off good, i know that if i actually make it i would have to cut it down at some point due to real life and all.

During one of Judith Regulus' birthday banquets, the emperor is hit by a poisoned arrow from a mercenary. There is no cure, and a day later Callisto dies, taking with him the life of Penelope, who managed to instruct the inhabitants of the palace.

But little Judith, unable to cope with the loss of her parents, accidentally uses a powerful spell on Winter, returning him twenty years ago - to the last day of the festival.

To the very day Yvonne Eckhart went missing.

Winter decides to take a desperate step - he goes to the duchy, confesses to the duke that he is a magician and knows the future, finds Yvonne at the festival, saves her and kills Leila, who was in a vulnerable state.

In gratitude, Berdandi, who at that time was only sixteen years old, asks for only two things - to find a girl with crimson hair in the slums and support the crown prince in the war. The Duke agrees, although he hardly believes it.

Winter spends a lot of time with the Eckharts and helps Penelope get comfortable, teaches her everything and supports her.

Everything goes smoothly until the day the crown prince returns from the war. That evening, everything changes. Penelope became like a different person - a cheerful girl abruptly became withdrawn and confused. Winter takes her to a conversation, from which he learns that another person is now in Penelope's body, because the real Penelope has been dead for a long time. Winter understands everything and offers to help.

“Meet the Crown Prince”

"For what?"

“I think you will get along”

Much to the surprise of the Marquis, Penelope returns with her neck slashed. Now she refuses to even catch his eye, but Winter does not give up and continues to persuade her. And when a letter arrives from the crown prince with an invitation to a hunting competition (Callisto is a crap romantic, it looks more like threats), he tricks her into going there.

Everything develops the same way as in the previous life, but with one exception - there are no attacks by Leila's people. Winter constantly pushes Callisto and Penelope in various situations, preventing the Eckharts and the Empress's relatives from getting into their relationship. Defends her in court on charges of treason (now Derrick does not behave like an asshole and supports Penelope).

Penelope and Yvonne build a great relationship and support each other. Yvonne often plays pranks on her sister when she gets into a "cold war with the Crown Prince", and Penelope teases her when Yvonne fell in love with Winter. Derrick overprotects the sisters and forbids them everything, and Reynold helps them run away on dates to their lovers (although he constantly grumbles) and secretly sends letters (if only his girls were happy). The duke gladly accepts Winter at home, but he swears with Callisto 24/7 and exchanges mutual insults, but supports the prince in the fight for the throne.

Siyeon scores 100% with Callisto, stays in Eorka and finds a quiet life with his family.
