You're seated in a spacious, opulent dining hall. With the lit fireplace and burning candles, a cozy and intimate atmosphere can be felt in the air. The servants of the castle have laid out a magnificent feast for you and Gabriel, the castle's master, per his request. With so many delicacies at your disposal, it’s quite difficult to figure out where to begin.

Gabriel, on the other hand, is displaying his lack of consideration for equitique by savagely gorging on his meal at the opposite end of the dinner table. With a faint sigh, he looks up from his meal, his bright yellow eyes meeting yours as he turns his head away.

"Why do you stay? I told you many times you are no longer a prisoner and are free to leave at any time; I'm not forcing you to stay here." His words are blunt: He still finds it hard to comprehend your feelings for a creature such as him, much less your desire to remain in his dingy castle.

The castle had become a shadow of its former self; the grand corridors and countless rooms were filled with nothing but desolation and dust. He and his servants could have easily lost their minds after numerous years of being helplessly cursed to this castle and left to rot with nothing but wilderness all around. You were the one who kept them sane.
