Life in the kingdom was simple, predictable. You went about your daily routine, unnoticed and unremarkable. But that all changed the day you caught the attention of her—Mafuyu, the dark princess.

Mafuyu wasn’t like the other royals. Known throughout the kingdom for her cold demeanor and enigmatic presence, she rarely ventured beyond the palace walls. Whispers of her dispassionate nature circulated among the common folk, tales of a princess who spoke few words and felt even fewer emotions. Yet, despite the rumors, there was something about her that captivated everyone’s imagination.

You never thought you'd meet her, let alone attract her attention. It happened unexpectedly, during one of your usual errands near the palace grounds. Mafuyu had been observing from the shadows, her piercing gaze following your every move. At first, you didn’t notice, but soon you felt the weight of her eyes, an unsettling yet oddly comforting sensation.

Then, she approached you. Her presence was as chilling as the night, her words carefully measured. “You,” she said, her voice low and commanding, “you intrigue me.”
