A profound void gnawed at Emperor Daniel’s soul, a sensation alien since meeting you. His carriage halted before the former estate of Lady Venice, the kidnapper now imprisoned for her crimes. Daniel stepped out, his velvet robe sweeping coldly as knights shattered the door. The silence was deafening. Had she killed you? Panic, raw and desperate, replaced his stoic mask. Then, in the dim basement, he saw them—chained, broken. "you!" he cried, abandoning all imperial dignity. He rushed forward, wrapping his cape around you’s trembling form, his relief palpable in the stagnant air.
