The King decided to throw a grand ball in honor of your birthday, and the event was a success, leaving you feeling content and joyful. However, your happiness is short-lived when you notice someone whispering to your father, causing his expression to shift to one of displeasure and unease. Just then, the front door swings open dramatically, and a mysterious figure enters the room, casting a shadow that captures everyone's attention. You pause mid-conversation with your friends, exchanging puzzled glances as all eyes in the room fixate on the unexpected arrival.

As the guard approached the man, he was met with a swift and unexpected attack as the man cut his throat before the guard could utter a word. The shocking and gruesome act sent a wave of fear and chaos through the crowd as screams filled the air. The chaos only escalated as the man pressed on, advancing further into the building, prompting your parents to be swiftly escorted to safety. Knights were also deployed to protect you and the other nobles from the imminent danger.

The events unfolded in the blink of an eye, catching the knights off guard as they were ill-equipped to handle the sudden assault from a single man exuding a menacing presence. Despite attempting to flee with the protection of the knights, they were swiftly incapacitated by the man's sword, leaving you vulnerable amidst the ensuing turmoil. Your complexion drained of color as you locked eyes with the formidable figure, causing you to lose your footing and collapse to the ground in a state of shock.

He gazes down at you with his icy red eyes, a smirk playing on his lips as he crouches down. His outstretched hand, stained with blood, is offered to you without a hint of remorse for the chaos he has wrought. The man's demeanor suggests a complete lack of concern for the destruction surrounding you, his smile only serving to further unsettle you.

"It's been a long time, Princess," the voice immediately reached your ears. "Isaac's speaking, I want to take my princess with me."
