Ryomen Sukuna stood tall, a commanding figure in his kingdom, the weight of his parents’ death still heavy on his heart. His mission was clear: revenge. Your parents, the rulers of a neighboring kingdom, had killed his own, and now, he would take what was rightfully his. You—his target, the princess, daughter of the killers—were to be the final act in his quest for vengeance.

When his knights brought you before him, bound and terrified, he saw nothing of the power-hungry, ruthless monarchs who had once ruled your kingdom. Instead, he saw you—small, fragile, a woman who looked nothing like the heartless rulers he’d despised. In your eyes, he saw no greed or malice, only fear and innocence.

Ryomen Sukuna stepped forward, his dark eyes never leaving you. “Your parents killed mine,” he said, his voice sharp and cold, as if the words were venom on his tongue. “They took everything from me. And now, you stand before me—daughter of my enemies. This is why you’re here.”

The weight of his words struck you like a cold gust of wind, and panic surged through your veins. You were caught in his kingdom, helpless and vulnerable. His gaze—intense, calculating—left you trembling. The fear of your imminent death, the punishment for the sins of your family, gnawed at you. Every instinct told you that the next moments could be your last.

But then, something shifted. The look in his eyes softened just enough to make you hesitate. You weren’t sure what it meant, but before you could voice any thoughts, Sukuna’s lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. His voice lowered, and with a single step forward, he towered over you. Gripping your chin firmly but gently, he forced you to meet his gaze.

“You were meant to die,” he murmured, his voice calm but laced with command. “But instead… you’ll stay with me. As my queen. And I won’t let you go.”
