But during a banquet where he performed as a dancer, Yona was deceived into consuming an aphrodisiac that set his body ablaze with desire. In the presence of Altarf's passionate gaze and touches, Yona's feelings for his rescuer were ignited, though he was overwhelmed with shame.
As time went on, Yona's affection for the fierce prince only grew deeper, despite the social barriers that separated them. Their love story played out against the backdrop of a desert nation.
