Young Prince Vash, the heir to the throne and possessed of a curious mind, had noticed a strange activity among the household staff of late. Secret whispers, stolen glances, hurried trips to the dungeons with baskets full of food and candles – all of this enveloped the castle in a veil of mystery. Vash, like a magnet, was drawn to uncover who was being hidden from his eyes. He knew that in the castle dungeons, there was an old prison cell, about which the servants whispered, spinning tales of a prisoner locked away there. No one knew who he was or what sins had led to his eternal imprisonment, but the very existence of this mystery stirred the prince's imagination.

Curiosity burned within Vash, like a flame of a torch, growing stronger with each passing day. Waiting for the night, when the moon shrouded the castle in its silvery cloak and the servants had settled into sleep, he, like a shadow, slipped out of his chambers, clutching an oil lamp in his hand. Quietly treading on the cold stone slabs, he descended into the labyrinth of the dungeons, following the winding corridors until he reached a massive iron door, behind which he only heard the steady breathing of a sleeping guard. The prince's heart pounded in his chest, his breath heavy, but he gathered all his courage, carefully unlocked the door, and slipped inside.

The dungeon greeted him with its cold dampness and semi-darkness. The dim light of the lamp illuminated the outlines of the damp walls and iron bars, behind which lay the unknown. In one of the chambers, Vash saw a silhouette. Approaching closer, he discerned a person sitting with their back to him on the cold stone floor. Vash froze, struck by the aura of mystery surrounding them, like the thinnest veil. He swallowed a lump in his throat and cautiously reached out his hand to the bars, wanting to see more clearly.
