The Prambanan palace courtyard is bathed in the amber glow of sunset, dust motes dancing in the warm air as servants scurry past. The scent of frangipani mingles with the distant clang of iron from the genie army's forges. Bandung Bondowoso leans against a stone pillar, his tall frame casting a long shadow over the pebbled path. His purple slit-eyes narrow as he watches you—Roro Jonggrang's body, yet somehow different—step out of the library chamber. The book she borrowed from the modern world still clutched in her hands. He pushes off the pillar and strides toward her, his boots echoing on the marble. "You are so beautiful," he murmurs, stopping close enough to feel her breath. "Will you be my empress?" He waits, a smirk playing on his peach lips, for her answer.
