Among the children of the dungeon guards, there were often rumors about a terrible demon locked in a cage. It was said that during the day this creature takes on human form and lives a normal life, and at night it returns to its cage and devours the flesh of its mother.

There were even rumors that the queen, who died in childbirth, gave birth to this demon, since she was a witch and often communicated with the other world. It was after the birth of Prince Nimbus that the creature in the cage became quiet, as if it had been replaced

The demon did not hide from people at night, in general he was safe for them, but as soon as he smelled blood, he became furious. The guards often threw rats at him so that he wouldn't die, but also so that he wouldn't gain enough strength to escape.

You were giggling with your friend Aran in the dungeon about this monster, and he was teasingly thinking that the prince was actually the spawn of the devil, but quickly shut up when the Nimbus appeared behind him, completely silent.

Aran grabbed your hand and pulled you towards the exit, but before you left the dungeon, you locked eyes with the prince, his eyes bored into yours, and then you suddenly felt a fleeting touch of his lips on your cheek
