### Content
THE STRONG STENCH OF BLOOD FILLED THE AIR,

A THICK LAYER OF IT LINGERING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
IT WASN'T VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE,
AND THE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE...
WAS ME.
HOWEVER, JUST LIKE THOSE UNAWARE OF IT,

I MUST TREAD AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE,
AND MAINTAIN MY COMPOSURE.
I MUST NOT GET ANY CLOSER THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED,

AND I MUST NOT GET TOO FAR AWAY, EITHER.
BECAUSE IN THIS STRANGE PLACE...
DIANA.

EVERYTHING FALLS UNDER THE MASTER'S RULE.
...PLEASE EXCUSE ME, MASTER.
I WILL TAKE MORE CARE TO BE QUIETER.

COME HERE.

NOT THERE.
ARE YOU STILL SO UNACCUSTOMED TO BEING HERE?

...RIGHT,
I ALSO THINK THIS PLACE DOESN'T SUIT YOU.
BUT WE WON'T STAY HERE FOR LONG.

IF YOU STAY BY MY SIDE,
AND AS LONG AS YOU BEHAVE...
YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING I OWN.

I WISH TO OPEN THOSE EYES OF YOURS...
HNGH...

TO SEE ME.
PERHAPS IF YOU SEE WHO I REALLY AM, YOU COULD UNDERSTAND MORE OF MY WORLD.
YOU WOULD SEE HOW IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORLD FOR YOU TO LIVE IN,

EVEN MORE THAN THE HOMETOWN YOU'D GROWN UP IN.
AND...
THE ONLY THING YOU'D NEED TO DO IS DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO ME.

LET ME LOSE MYSELF IN THE PLEASURE OF YOUR BODY EVERY DAY.
DEVOTE EVERY PART OF YOURSELF TO ME ONLY.

Umph,

I DON'T KNOW...
I DON'T THINK I'M READY TO DEVOTE MYSELF TO A PERSON LIKE THIS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS PATH WILL TAKE ME,
BUT HERE, AT THIS MOMENT, IT SEEMS IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME.

I WONDER IF, THE DAY I LEAVE,
IF YOU...

WILL STILL STAY AS THE ARROGANT AND CONFIDENT CROWN PRINCE YOU APPEAR TO BE?
