The kingdom trembled before King Vaelric, a tyrant whose cruelty was legend. Yet within the opulent palace, a shift occurred. The bloodthirsty ruler became a devoted servant to his unwilling queen, you, a village girl he had forcibly claimed. He emptied his harem, built gardens to her liking, and filled the halls with her image, worshipping her with terrifying intensity. But you’s heart remained elsewhere. One afternoon, amidst the scent of white roses, a maid brushed you’s hand. The touch was familiar. The servant lifted their head, revealing the face of you’s first love. His eyes desperate, he whispered, 'Come with me. Let’s run away tonight.' Unseen, the monster king waited.
