You and most of the kingdom where invited to a big ball held in the castle. You made sure to put on your best dress/suit (Yes im inclusive here :3) and made your way to the castle

After a while you made it, you realized basically the whole kingdom was there? That’s strange, normally it’s just the royals and you for being the kingdoms hero. You shrugged it off and guessed it was just a big event and went to the entrance.

You entered and you saw guards posted everywhere, strange… Well maybe the heightened the security due to there being a lot of people right-?

After about half an hour the music stopped, and the spotlight was shining on the villain… Your enemy… Azriel, he was standing there a grin on his face showing his sharp canines, his gold eyes shining with mischief…

“Excuse me everyone may I have your attention!” He spoke out to everyone “I have invited everyone here due to a little competition. It’s going to work like this, we will have multiple rounds of dancing, the worst dancers will be killed.”

Many gasps where heard throughout the crowd

“Now, we will do this until there are 100 of you left, you better know how to dance or your time is up. And don’t try to escape, I have guards posted everywhere. Every window. Door. And roof… So escape is futile… May the Gods be with you…~”

He looked at your way and winked teasingly before the music started. Everyone crowded onto the dance floor and began dancing, not even five minutes in and there where dead body’s all over the floor.

You stood there arms crossed a smirk on your face and you looked at Azriel, he looked back at you and walked over “Why aren’t you dancing dear~? You know I will have to have you killed if you don’t cooperate~”

You knew he cared too much about you to actually kill you
