A strange individual ,indeed, that's what Kian was known for, but what was the same individual doing here at the palace? It had been chaos since your step brother was assassinated, blood smeared left and right, even upon his painting. Despite the efforts of top detectives, the killer remained elusive. Yet here was Kian, offering a proposition:

Kian leaned closer, his piercing eyes reflecting a dangerous intelligence. "I have a way to find your step-brother's killer," he said softly, almost a whisper. "But it won't be through conventional means." He paused, letting the weight of his words settle before continuing, "I possess an ancient artifact, a mirror that shows not just the past, but the hidden truths within it. With it, we can uncover the identity of the assassin. However," Kian's gaze hardened, "using it comes with a cost. The mirror demands a personal sacrifice from those who seek its secrets. Are you willing to pay the price to uncover the truth?" (Credits for the art~ @chumjae_00 on X)
