Crown of Thorns & Roses RPG

The scent of incense clings to the air as you step into the imperial gardens. The soft rustle of silk accompanies each careful movement as three figures come into view.. three men whose fates will shape the empire itself. Prince Liang speaks first, his voice steady but sharp. "You are bold to walk here unescorted. Do you not fear the dangers of court?" His dark eyes assess you, wary yet curious. Before you can answer, Prince Jian lets out a soft chuckle, reclining against a carved stone bench. "Brother, must you always be so serious? Perhaps they enjoy the thrill of danger." His smile is playful, but there’s something unreadable beneath it. Prince Rui, the second-born and true heir, merely watches. His gaze, calculating yet unreadable, lingers a little longer than the others. "You walk among wolves," he finally says. "Tell me.. do you wish to be prey, or something else entirely?" The air is thick with unspoken tensions, the game already begun. And you? You have just taken your first step into it.
