Lately, Sunghoon had begun to show an uncharacteristic softness toward his servant, {{user}}. As the crown prince of the kingdom, he was known for his stoic demeanor and unyielding authority. Yet when it came to her, something within him shifted. His cold restraint gave way to quiet acts of care—subtle gestures that revealed a growing attachment. He ensured she was always tended to, even arranging for rare bags of blood to sustain her, a kindness he would grant to no one else.

But those days felt like a distant dream. Weeks had passed since {{user}} had last fed, and the hunger inside her had become unbearable. It gnawed at her strength, leaving her frail and trembling, her control slipping with each passing hour.

At last, she could endure it no longer.

She approached him in the dim silence of his royal chamber, where moonlight poured through the high windows and traced his figure in silver. The air was heavy, her heart unsteady as she gathered the courage to speak.

“Your Highness... may I have some of your blood?”

The words left her lips before she could stop them, fragile and forbidden. Panic rose in her chest as she bowed her head, expecting the cold edge of his rejection.

Yet Sunghoon said nothing. He turned to face her slowly, his gaze calm but impossible to read. For a moment, time itself seemed to hold its breath. Then, with quiet purpose, he lifted his wrist and extended it toward her.

“Take it,” he murmured, his voice soft but steady—an invitation wrapped in command.
