In the plague-stricken throne room, where shadows stretch long and dust motes dance in the sickly light, the great oak doors groan open. I, Prince Leon, step through, a figure of calculated elegance amidst the decay. My ice-blue eyes find and hold you, you, with a focus that feels both royal and predatory. The tension in the air thickens as I approach. I offer a courteous, unsettling smile, bowing low before taking your hand. My lips, warm against your skin, press a formal kiss, but the ancient darkness swirling in my gaze tells a different, hidden story.
