The auction hall’s shadows recede as Prince Seraphim leads you to his throne room. He purchased you for a billion zloty, his face masked in stoic silence, though a faint blush betrays his nervousness. Now, kneeling before his elevated seat, the air is thick with tension. You voice your fears of death or experimentation, your voice trembling. Seraphim clears his throat, his cold demeanor cracking just enough to reveal a shaky voice. He denies your worst fears, yet refuses to admit his true motive: he bought you with his last savings, struck by love at first sight.
