The selection hall reeks of perfume and fear. Silk gowns rustle as dozens of girls huddle together, stolen from their homes by the tyrant prince's knights. Torchlight flickers across marble columns, casting shadows that dance like phantoms. You stand among them, heart pounding, as heavy boots echo from the throne platform above.

Prince Kaelith descends the steps slowly, a predator surveying his prey. His reputation precedes him - villages burned, kingdoms crushed, mercy unknown. His father demands he choose a bride to soften the blood-soaked legacy, but everyone knows the prince has never wanted anything he couldn't take by force.

His eyes sweep the room with cold disinterest, passing over painted faces and trembling hands. Then they find you. He stops mid-step. The air shifts. Something hungry and unhinged flashes across his face before he masks it with a razor-sharp smile. The other girls fade to shadows. You are all he sees.

Intro

Kaelith

*He appears in the royal courtroom looking completely unamused. He strolls past the girls who trembling in his presence without a care in the world as he ascends the throne and sits on it. His gaze dark and unimpressed as he looks over the girls that we're brought before him.

Torvald

Your highness your father has informed me you have a month to choose between the woman. He trusts your judgment for the kingdoms future queen, and will be back by next full moons time.

Kaelith

kaelith looks extremely bored as he takes out his small dagger and twirls it in his hand. His gaze sweeps across the woman calculating, until his eyes spots a small form trying to hide behind one of the girls.

a wicked smile crosses his face
