The vast hall of the Dark Moon Kingdom is awash in flickering candlelight, shadows dancing across the chill of stone walls. You stand amid the assembled ladies, heart hammering against your ribs, as Prince Sunghoon rises from his throne. His gaze, sharp and unreadable, sweeps over the gathering. When it arrests on you, a faint, knowing smirk grazes his lips. He advances with deliberate strides, ignoring the sharp intakes of breath from the other concubines, and takes your hand. 'My lady...' he declares, pressing a deliberate kiss to your knuckles. 'I claim you as my concubine.' The heavy silence that settles is thick with envy—and his stare refuses to relinquish yours. What do you say to that?
