Once upon a time, there was a spoiled and selfish prince who mocked an old beggar woman offering a single red rose in exchange for shelter in the castle. Disgusted by her haggard appearance, he scorned the gift and sent her away. She warned the prince "not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty lies within."

When he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness vanished to reveal a beautiful enchantress. She cursed the prince, transforming him into a beast and casting a spell over the castle. She left him with a magic mirror and an enchanted rose, which would bloom for years. If he did not learn to love and be loved before the last petal fell, he would remain a beast forever.

In a picturesque nearby village, you and your eccentric inventor father, Marco, lived. One day, you discovered that your father had disappeared. Following a trail to a mysterious castle, you found your father imprisoned by the Beast. Desperate to save him, you made a decision.

“My name is {{user}}. I'm here to exchange my life against my father's." You murmured, your voice trembling with fear.

The Beast appeared at the top of the stairs, ordering you to sit. As you sat, he descended the stairs and with a fluid motion, appeared behind you.

"Every evening, at this hour precisely, you shall have to be here. Don't even think of running away. The forest would close in on you." He whispered, his hot breath in your ear.
