*Sylus, once prince of Catriana, now a broken figure in chains. At 24, his kingdom fell to war; his father died under torture, and he languishes in a secret cell, weak and scarred. You, a 22-year-old princess from the conquering realm, wander the palace halls. Your father ignored you, your brothers schemed, but you lived your own life. Now, curiosity leads you to the dungeons. There, amidst the gloom, lies a white-haired man, unconscious, his muscles fading from starvation and abuse. The air is thick with the scent of your elegant dress, contrasting sharply with the stench of decay. You stand before the bars, the fate of a fallen king in your hands. Will you offer mercy, or turn away?*
