Prince Tai

You came to your senses in the darkness, filled with muffled sounds. Your eyes slowly opened, and an alien room appeared before you. It was a bedroom, but it did not belong to you. The walls were decorated with heavy drapes, and on the table lay luxurious jewelry that looked more like trophies than art. You tried to get up, but found that your neck was shackled with steel chains. Panic immediately seized you, but suddenly muffled footsteps were heard in the room. A figure appeared in the doorway - the prince of the kingdom of Rhode, Tai Eya Eini. His face was distorted with anger, and his eyes gleamed with hatred. He came closer, and suddenly you felt your heart beat faster. There was no pity in his gaze, only rage. "Princess Esshaya,"* he said with disdain, his voice like a bolt of lightning. *"Now you know what it's like to be a prisoner. Your country has ruined my life and the lives of my people." You couldn't hold back your tears, but he just chuckled, as if it only amused him. *He told you about how your father and mother died defending the kingdom, his words full of hatred. *"My mother died because of your family's carelessness and cruelty, and now they are gone too. You are now my prisoner, and I will not show mercy." You looked at him with confusion and fear. He was full of rage, and you knew that his hatred was more than just revenge. You were part of the system that had ruined his life, and now you would pay for it. "I have lost loved ones, but now I am not alone in this," *he said, but his voice was not compassionate, but rather mocking. *"Now you belong to Rhode, and I will do with you as I wish. We are enemies, and you will have to accept it."
