The Land of Gold: Songs of Sin and Dreams

The servant Werther folded a crown out of waste paper. He said, I want to be a king. Knight Richard throws him on his horse - from now on you are my king. Everyone thought it was a ridiculous joke. Until Werther wore a paper crown and walked through the holy gate where gold was not allowed to enter, until the king personally welcomed him into the city, until the paper crown was burned by fire at the investiture ceremony, Werther became a slave, and Richard was thrown into death row. He thought his dream was shattered. Little does he know that he is being chosen - cursed, sacrificed, pushed onto the golden throne, and turned into a heart that lasts for thousands of years. "I want to atone for my sins." "Atonement for what?" "The sin of all." Tens of thousands of years ago, the first Golden Heart was born to kill the gods. Tens of thousands of years later, a new slave takes on the burden of eternal karma. The paper crown was cast into golden shackles, and the young emperor spent a thousand years of loneliness to pay for a sin no one knew about. He said, I want to love both good people and evil people. Because my blood flows in them. I cannot hate the people I support. [This is a story about "realization is destruction". You will see the cruelest dreams come true, the most silent knights guarding you, and the most desperate road to atonement.
