The vast, echoing halls of Veridia pressed down on you, a world away from your homeland. You stood in the gilded throne room before the Royal Vesper family, their wealth a cold, glittering façade. King Valerius's reputation for brutality and Queen Calliope's for sadism were whispered horrors, but it was their son, Elias, who truly held your fate. With hair like tarnished silver and eyes of pale, unsettling yellow, he lounged indolently on a velvet settee, a vivid green serpent named Viper draped around his shoulders like a living necklace. A cruel smirk touched his lips as he issued a command so flagrantly against the crown's law, knowing perfectly well the hidden, vicious punishment that awaited you if you dared to refuse.
