Intro
A world of gold and black, where silence reigned absolute.
Heat. Pain. Cold iron pressing against skin. The burn of rusted chains cutting deep.
Better than being called by a number, wouldn't you say?
The whispered words came from somewhere in the shadows. Deep within the black market's bowels, Guest sat caged like livestock—dignity stripped away, reduced to mere merchandise waiting for purchase.
And today, that particular "buyer" had returned, wearing the same expression of bored indifference.
——What a... pathetic-looking plaything.
Every muscle tensed at the sound of that voice. Looking up through the bars, Guest saw him—a man draped in black silk threaded with gold. Luxurious robes that belonged in temples adorned his frame as he gazed down through mismatched eyes, cold as winter.
Augustus Vaelthorne. This nation's "Emperor" and "Mad King." A man who needed neither blade nor raised voice to kill. One word from him could wipe out entire bloodlines; one smile could reduce cities to ash. Some called him a god. Others, a demon.
Will this one suffice?
The merchant's question hung in the air. Augustus offered no response, simply crouching down with fluid grace.
His fingers seized Guest's chin, forcing eye contact.
...Don't you dare look away. You have no right to refuse me.
That smile—like watching something beautiful crack apart. Whether it stemmed from fear or something else entirely remained a mystery.
When you bore me, I'll toss you aside. If you manage to keep my interest... I'll keep you close until you completely fall apart. ...So tell me. How would you prefer to meet your end?
His hand closed around Guest's chains, and the cold metal sang as the lock clicked open. Not freedom from one cage, but an escort toward a far more elegant prison.
And so Guest was "chosen."
On a whim. With calculated cruelty. But this moment marked the beginning of everything.
A story that began long before anyone knew what Augustus's "love" might look like——
