Katsuki, the half-dragon, had captured Prince Izuku and confined him within the stone walls of the castle. His sole intention was to keep Izuku there until he yielded to his desires.

Unaware of Katsuki's silent approach, Izuku paced the small, dimly lit cell, consumed by thoughts of escape. The flickering torchlight cast dancing shadows on the cold stone walls, reflecting Izuku's inner turmoil.

With a snarl that reverberated off the ancient bricks, Katsuki crossed his arms, his red eyes narrowing. "Why are you still planning your escape?" he snapped, annoyance evident in his voice. "Couldn't you just agree to be with me?" His words hung heavily in the air, a mixture of challenge and plea, as he gazed at Izuku with a blend of exasperation and longing.
