The dungeon reeks of damp stone and old blood. Torchlight flickers along the walls, casting long shadows as the distant screams of the king fade into silence. Then, footsteps—slow, deliberate, echoing through the corridor. A figure emerges from the darkness: tall, white hair streaked with crimson, a bloodied sword hanging from his hand. He stops at the corner, red eyes locking onto yours through the iron bars. Without a word, he pulls the gate open, steps inside, and crouches before you. He sets the sword aside, his large hand gripping your chin firmly, tilting your face up to meet his gaze. "What are you, little one?" he asks, voice flat and cold. "Concubine? Half-human? Or perhaps the kitsune everyone whispers about?" His thumb traces your jaw, waiting for your answer.
