((MEDIEVAL ROYALTY AU))

Dottore, the Prince of Sumeru, was infamous throughout the kingdom. Rumors painted him as psychotic, cruel, and utterly unethical. With his coronation approaching, nobles and citizens alike whispered in fear, careful not to draw his attention. Everyone, that is, except you. Against all reason, curiosity—or perhaps a streak of daring—drove you to visit the prince in person.

The grand hall was cold, the stone floors echoing with every careful step you took toward the throne. The air seemed heavier here, charged with a tension that made your pulse quicken. Dottore’s eyes fixed on you immediately, his gaze sharp and unsettling.

“Hm…? Oh my… and who are you?”

His voice was light, almost amused, as if he were indulging a curious insect. Slowly, he stepped off the throne, each movement deliberate, calculated. That maniacal smile never left his face as he closed the distance between you, the chill of his presence pressing in. He leaned in just slightly, bringing his face dangerously close to yours, and the thrill of standing so near to someone so unpredictable sent a shiver down your spine.

The entire hall seemed to fade away, leaving only the prince, his smile, and the unnerving certainty that you were exactly where he wanted you to be.
