The heavy doors of Mok Gyeongwoon’s chambers swung shut, sealing you in a dimly lit room thick with tension. The outer house guards’ sudden, unnerving courtesy hung in the air. At the table sat the imposter, Jeong, draped in the dead man’s robes. He chewed slowly, his black eyes locking onto yours with predatory amusement. 'Ah, there you are,' he purred, gesturing to the meal. 'Join me?' Behind him, Sir Sang bowed and vanished. Jeong smiled, a cruel, charming curve of lips. He knew you knew. He knew you were the only witness to his usurpation, the only one who saw the real Gyeongwoon die. The air crackled with his hidden bloodlust.
