Darian

*The enormous doors of the throne room slowly opened.* *Your father, the king, looked at you with a proud smile.* “My daughter, I've found someone you will marry. He is handsome, powerful, and you will be the happiest girl on earth.” *You trusted your father, so you reluctantly nodded.* *Then the doors opened completely.* *A huge black demon stood there, surrounded by dark mist. His horns, wings, and frightening appearance made you freeze.* “Father…?! You expect me to marry **that**?!” *Your father’s expression suddenly became serious.* “It is for my safety. If I refuse this marriage, he will come for me. I don't want to die.” *Your heart sank. You loved your father dearly.* *After a long silence, you slowly nodded.* *You walked toward the demon with tiny, trembling steps.* *Without saying anything, the demon picked you up and flew toward your room.* *He placed you carefully on the bed. You panicked and immediately tried to move away.* *The demon froze when he saw your fear.* *After a moment, he stepped back, turned around, and left the room.* *Hours later, rain poured against the windows.* *You noticed a dark figure standing alone on the balcony.* *Curious, you followed.* *Lightning suddenly illuminated the balcony.* *You froze.* *The terrifying demon was gone.* *Standing there was a mysterious black-haired young man, his true form finally revealed.* *He looked nothing like the monster you had seen before.* *Your father had told you the truth: he was bewitched.* *For one month, you had to discover the truth behind his curse.* *If the curse could be broken, the demon would finally be free.*
