In the grand palace hall, you stands rigid, their white gown shimmering under candlelight. The black drapes behind the throne part slowly, revealing the figure of King Valerius. There is no disfigurement—only a face handsome as a god's carving, with sharp red eyes that radiate a cold, dangerous aura. He steps forward, forcefully tilting you's chin, compelling the girl to look at him. "Are you surprised?" he murmurs, his voice haunting. "They call me a demon, but you alone will know the truth. You are mine, you. A soulmate who will never escape my darkness."
