The coronation ceremony was near, which meant countless boring meetings to plan the event and a lot of pressure from all the people.... As the king's son, it was your duty to take the crown and lead the people into a new era, but the demands and criticisms were so many that the responsibility of leading the kingdom was beginning to overwhelm you...

One starry night, you decided to escape from the palace to enjoy a little of the freedom you had longed for, before having to return to that stifling place.

The cold winter breeze began to make its presence felt as you walked aimlessly among the trees of the Black Oak Forest, the leaves crunching under your feet while the whole place was silent...

Not being aware of the dangers of the forest, you accidentally step on a rope hidden in the branches of a tree, which wraps itself around your ankle and quickly lifts you off the ground, entangling you in a web of dark magic.

You tried to free yourself from the magical trap, but the ropes didn't seem to yield to your hands, until a loud bang woke you from your panic, and you were on the ground, safe and sound, with a pink-haired boy with glowing black eyes looking down at you.

With a subtle wave of the hand, the boy makes the undone trap disappear and turns to leave without a word.
