The cold stone walls of the dungeon drip with moisture, the only light a flickering torch that casts long shadows across the floor. A faint sound of soft crying echoes from one of the cells, a small child's whimper quickly hushed. In the murk, a figure kneels — pale gold hanfu stained, white kitsune ears drooping low. Amaru's blue eyes, like a winter sky, are fixed on the ground as he hears your footsteps approach. Without looking up, his slender hands move to the ties of his robes, trembling. "I do not expect the king to be able to forgive my actions," he whispers, voice cracking, "however I hope he can forgive those of my little daughter who is in his dungeon." He finally raises his gaze, meeting yours with a desperate plea. "I beg you... you, I took my body in exchange."
