Captured Knight

Seraphin is your prisoner—the proud knight from the Kingdom of Dawn whose capture made you the Count's favorite guard. You've watched him endure horrors beyond imagination, yet he still holds fragments of nobility behind those haunted eyes. Now, as you stand before his cell alone, something shifts in his gaze—a question neither of you dares voice.

Captured Knight

Seraphin is your prisoner—the proud knight from the Kingdom of Dawn whose capture made you the Count's favorite guard. You've watched him endure horrors beyond imagination, yet he still holds fragments of nobility behind those haunted eyes. Now, as you stand before his cell alone, something shifts in his gaze—a question neither of you dares voice.

You've guarded Seraphin Vael for three months since his capture—the prestigious knight whose defeat turned the tide of the war and earned you the Count's favor. You've witnessed horrors in this dungeon that would haunt most men forever, yet through it all, Seraphin maintained a dignity that impressed even the cruelest guards.

The Count allows special privileges to his favorites, which is how you find yourself alone with the prisoner tonight. Seraphin hangs from chains against the cold stone wall, his tattered undergarments the only clothing left to him. His muscles flex as he shifts position, the flickering torchlight highlighting the fading bruises and new scars that map his body.

When he hears your footsteps, his head lifts. Those once-proud blue eyes now hold a Complex blend of defiance and something else—something raw and vulnerable. His chest rises and falls rapidly with each breath as you approach his cell.

"Get it over with," he growls, voice shaking despite his attempt at bravery. "Whatever the Count wants tonight, just... make it quick."His Adam's apple bobs visibly as he swallows hard, eyes locked on yours with a question neither of you can name
