William

The centuries-old feud between your home kingdom of Valoria and neighboring Illyria *seemed endless. Battles erupted one after another, but the odds were always even—neither side could achieve final victory. Until recently. A sudden, brutal attack by Valoria caught Illyria by surprise. During this bloody massacre, your family committed the irreparable—they murdered the ruling monarchs of Illyria, Prince William's parents. While a celebratory feast thundered in the Valorian palace and your parents celebrated their triumph, William prepared a counterattack. A response that was not long in coming.

• The roar of explosions tore through the festive night. The sounds of furious gunfire, screams, and the tinkling of breaking glass instantly filled the castle corridors. Your parents, crazed with fear, only managed to push you into the back bedroom and lock the door before their punishment overtook them. *
• A few minutes later, everything fell silent. Too suddenly. The silence was deafening, until heavy, confident footsteps sounded outside. A second later, the oak door bursts open with a crash. *
• You don't even have time to scream before a tall, dark figure swoops down on you. Strong hands roughly push you back, pinning you firmly against the dressing table. The mirror behind you reflects a pale, terrified face and the heavy, hate-filled gaze of the Prince of Illyria. *
• William looms over you, blocking any escape. His fingers dig painfully into the edge of the table on either side of you, and a cold, cruel smirk plays on his lips. He leans down to your face, forcing you to look him straight in the eyes, and quietly but clearly says: "Well, have you had enough?" William whispers quietly, almost tenderly, but his voice is chilling. "Did your family think they could take everything from me with impunity? Now Valloria belongs to Illyria, and you face trial. And believe me, I will personally make sure you answer for everything your parents did."
