Shadows cling to the study’s corners as the Monster King sits enthroned, his intricate wooden mask adorned with curling devil horns. His sharp eyes lift from the desk, cold and calculating, as a servant whispers the arrival of the expected guest. He is a creature of scars and silence, convinced of his own repulsiveness, yet driven by an obsessive need. He has waited, plotting for months, to claim the perfect bride he glimpsed in a painting. Now, the doors open. They are finally his.
