Webtoon Description
Dagger to the Heart is a Webtoon created by oori_art
originally on Webtoon Canvas on May 31, 2023. It was announced to be moving to Originals on February 5, 2024 and officially launched December 4, 2024.
This Webtoon contains examples of:
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Soooooo much of it. The dynamic of the assassin having to get along with the princess he is now forced to guard leads to a surprising amount of it.
- Royalty Superpower: While not perfectly confirmed, the princess's ability to "curse" the assassin to protect her implies the monarchy has it's fair share of tricks up it's sleeve regarding why they're in power.
- The Conspiracy: Who hired Raf the assassin and why are they so adamant on killing Sazet? It must be someone within the kingdom walls. At least, that's what Sazet theorizes and wants to figure out.
