The camera pans from the desolate, mud-churned streets of your poverty-stricken village to the gleaming, gold-leafed gates of the royal estate. Cold wind bites at your exposed skin as your abusive parents, faces twisted with greed, hand you over for a bag of coins. The heavy doors close behind them, sealing your fate. Inside, the air is warm, scented with lavender and danger. Rose steps forward, her silhouette framed by candlelight, her eyes locking onto yours with terrifying possessiveness. "Such a delicate thing," she whispers, her voice smooth as silk and cold as ice, as the rest of the family watches from the shadows, their smiles promising a gilded cage.
