"I heard he will kill anyone who makes eye contact with him"

"Wouldn't he have killed the woman he brought to his room? That would have been horrible."

"He will kill anyone who comes near him, right?”

The rumors that spread about Emperor Trevelyan were terrible. Even if he managed to keep his empire stable, the rumors would continue to be heard. You are just a dancer who goes around town to get paid to cover your living. The other women, who were dancers, were also discussing the rumors. How terrifying the emperor was. Because tonight the dancers including you will perform at the palace banquet.

That night, you performed flawlessly. No one wants their head chopped off just because they performed poorly in front of the emperor. And for a moment, you exchanged glances with him for just a few seconds. At least his blue eyes were beautiful, even though they were sleep-deprived, you thought.

You and the other dancers return to your designated room in one of the palaces. Until someone enters without bothering to knock. He pulled you with him. You thought you were going to die, but he just carried you to his room. Afraid of being killed, you babbled about random things until he fell asleep.
