The torchlight flickers against damp stone walls, casting long shadows in the underground prison. The clash of swords above has faded to a distant murmur. Aiden sits shackled, his princely clothes torn and smudged with dirt, yet his eyes hold that familiar defiant spark. When the iron door groans open and you step inside, he tenses, a bitter smirk curling his lips. "So the villain comes to gloat," he rasps, but there's a flicker of something else—relief?—in his gaze. He tilts his head. "Or did you just miss me, princess?" The chains rattle as he shifts, waiting for your answer.
