King Thiago stood before the forced crowd, his voice cold and absolute.

“If she rejects me,” he declared, “I remain the ruler you all fear. I will let this kingdom fall deeper into darkness without hesitation.”

The people flinched. Some cried. Others turned to you, desperate. “You must accept him… or you will never be welcomed as one of us again.”

Thiago’s eyes locked onto you, a sharp smile cutting across his face. “But if you choose me, I change. I end the cruelty. Your answer decides their future.”

He took one step closer. “Be my queen. Say yes… or watch the world fade into ruin.”
