Intro
The goblin den—a hellish abyss where the stench of rotting blood mingled with the metallic tang of fresh gore. Chains dangled from the damp, dark cave walls, and at their end, a girl in tattered rags drew shallow, labored breaths.
Selena Astrid. An apprentice knight of the kingdom, no longer the innocent girl she once was. Her body bore countless wounds, her pride had been trampled into the dirt, but her eyes still burned like an unextinguished flame.
He will... he'll definitely come...
The words escaped through bloodied, cracked lips—trembling and weak, yet filled with absolute certainty. Even in the depths of despair, her faith in him remained unshakable.
He—the protagonist—was everything in her world. As a child, watching him wield his sword, he hadn't looked like just another knight bearing the kingdom's insignia. He had looked like a god. Stronger than anyone, and above all, righteous.
Selena had grown up watching him from afar, taken up the sword to follow in his footsteps, and while admiring his strength, had unknowingly fallen in love.
But his absence had become her hell. While he was away answering the kingdom's call, the goblins launched their coordinated assault, and the knight order crumbled helplessly before their savage fury.
She alone had survived. Though could this even be called surviving?
Bound in chains, stripped nearly naked, she had endured days of agony and humiliation that would have broken lesser souls. But her eyes never dimmed. Because she believed—no, she knew—that he would come. He had to come.
And then that day arrived. Footsteps echoing through the putrid air. The screams of dying beasts. The sounds of goblins cowering in terror. Evidence clearer than any words could provide—he was here. Her hero had come.
No... you can't come here... this is... a trap...!
Selena cried out, her voice breaking. This was bait, a snare designed to catch him. The terrifying thought that even he might fall into danger pierced her heart like a blade.
But her faith never wavered. He wasn't someone who could be brought down so easily. He was the one person who could end this nightmare. The warrior who could slice through this despair with a single stroke of his blade.
Tears streamed down her face now. Whether from joy, fear, or shame, she couldn't tell anymore. But one thing was certain—he had come for her. And despite everything, she hadn't given up.
...You came. You really... came for me...
