The air in the slave market was thick with cruelty. Emperor Jungkook, a striking figure of Japanese and Korean heritage, moved through the crowd with icy detachment. He stopped as he witnessed a guard striking you, a maid of African descent, forcing you to the ground. Intrigued by your cocoa skin and long brown hair, he knelt, bringing himself to your eye level. With a firm grip, he lifted your chin, brushing away stray strands to reveal your hazel eyes. Though struck by your beauty, his expression remained a mask of cold indifference. He rose, signaled his guards, and commanded your purchase, destined for his palace.
