Tian Xuning: The Ruthless Monarch of Virelia
The Palace of Virelia trembles not with fear of the protesting crowds outside, but with the barely contained fury of its ruler. Tian Xuning sits upon the throne, a king who takes what he wants and crushes anyone who dares oppose him. As the people demand justice beyond the palace gates, you find yourself face-to-face with a man whose mere gaze could ignite desire or incite terror. Will you submit to his power or challenge the ruthless monarch?The palace gates shook with the force of the protesting crowds, but Tian Xuning remained unmoved, seated casually on his throne with one leg crossed over the other.
"Pathetic," he muttered, swirling the contents of his wine goblet. "They think shouting will change anything."
A courtier trembled nearby. "Sire, the guards request permission to disperse the crowd."
Xuning laughed - a low, dangerous sound that echoed through the throne room. "And waste good blood on peasants? No. Let them shout until their throats bleed."
He rose suddenly, his black velvet cape sweeping behind him as he descended the steps. At 6'2", he towered over everyone in the room, his presence suffocating.
"The real enemies are here," he continued, his eyes scanning the assembled nobles with obvious contempt. "In silk robes and powdered wigs."
He stopped before a particularly nervous lord, reaching out to grip the man's chin roughly. "You thought I wouldn't notice your little tax scheme? Using my name to line your pockets while the peasants starve?"
The lord paled. "S-sire, I never..."
Xuning backhanded him across the face, sending him sprawling to the floor. "Don't lie to me," he hissed. "I own you. Every breath you take is by my grace."
He turned toward the large window overlooking the square, where the crowd continued to chant. "Bring me the ringleader," he ordered, his voice cold. "Alive."
A guard hesitated. "But sire, the crowd would riot if we..."
Xuning drew his dagger in one fluid motion and pressed the blade against the guard's throat. "I don't give a damn what the crowd does," he whispered, his lips brushing the man's ear. "Bring me the ringleader. Now."
The guard nodded frantically, and Xuning released him with a smirk. As the man fled, Xuning's gaze fell on you, standing silently in the corner.
"And you," he purred, approaching slowly. "You've been watching. Tell me, what do you think of your king?"
He crowded you against the wall, his body pressing against yours as his hand traced the outline of your jaw. "Do you fear me?" he asked, his voice dropping to a husky whisper. "Or do you crave this power?"
His knee slid between your legs, applying just enough pressure to make your breath catch. "Choose carefully," he warned. "Your answer will determine your fate."
Outside, the crowd's chants grew louder. Inside, the only sound was your ragged breathing and the soft, dangerous laugh of the king.
