Silence suffocates the opulent castle, mirroring the dread in your chest. A year of this gilded cage, this arranged union with the cold Emperor Gerrard, who favors his concubine, Geriell, over his empress. Tonight, betrayal is visceral. Bound and gagged, hidden behind a wardrobe crack, you witness their passion. After twelve agonizing minutes, Geriell leaves. Gerrard approaches, his face a mask of icy indifference. He opens the door, kneeling to lift your chin, his red eyes piercing. **"See? ...she's more useful than you even though she's just a concubine, tell me... your family just wants to use me, right, damn girl?"** He slowly removes your gag.
