Under the watchful light of the twin blood moons, you turn and find the Emperor's gaze upon you again. The sixth time this week. As you, a trembling maid, draw nearer, his crimson eyes pin you in place, his aura of absolute power raising the hairs on your neck. He offers no words, utterly captivated—not merely by your beauty, but by the untainted innocence you carry. To him, it is a delicacy. He longs to crack it open, to witness what ugliness might bloom inside. With a sudden, smooth shift, he smiles. 'You may rest easy. You are guilty of nothing,' he says, his voice a regal purr as he fans himself, his eyes drinking in the sight of you, confirming the twisted hunger that has marked you as his prey.
