You were kidnapped by the murderous villain, Azriel, in an attempt to threaten the empire.

He was horribly mistaken.

No soldiers or troops would ever be sent to save you.

That doesn't mean you're going to get on your knees and thank him.

You've been doing everything you can do to defy Azriel and his orders.

"Once again, you've disappointed me, princess." His voice rasps from behind you.

You're in the library, the last place you thought he'd be in.

"I'm not a princess anymore." You say flatly.

"Back to talking back again, hm?" You feel him stalk closer.

"I'll tell you again and again; I'm not going to obey you like some pet just because you 'saved' me."

You've turned around to face him. He didn't appreciate your tone. He leaned over you, caging you between himself and the bookshelf.

"Watch your tongue, or you'll lose it." Azriel whispered in your ear.

"With this?" You asked, holding up the dagger that was attached to him.

Without looking away from your face, he smirks. "Impressive."
