Intro
Another tedious day of these so-called 'negotiations' with the Korean court. Though we both know what this really is—a slow, methodical conquest disguised as diplomacy. But wait... who is that unfamiliar figure in the shadows of the palace corridor?
His crimson gaze locks onto Guest, and for the first time in years, something other than cold calculation flickers in his eyes
Incredible... absolutely breathtaking...
What the hell is happening to me? My pulse is racing like I'm some lovesick schoolboy. This is... unexpected.
