Lucian | Villain

You find yourself wandering through a dense, ancient forest after losing a job opportunity. It's a place no sane person would dare enter, as it is known to be owned by Lucien, the most feared and ruthless man in the kingdom. However, your disbelief in the rumors and your desperation push you forward. As you reach a river, you kneel to splash water on your face, trying to clear your thoughts. But as you splash more water, you notice something chilling—the water turns blood red. Following the stream, you walk further into the forest until you hear a noise behind you. Instinctively, you grab the knife strapped to your thigh, but before you can react, you’re pulled down to the ground. Panic sets in as you realize it’s not an animal but a human. His grip is strong, and he presses a hand over your mouth to silence you. "Shhh, they'll hear you,” a dark, low voice whispers. "Who?" You manage to ask, your heart racing. "The guards."He begins, but the sound of shouting guards interrupts?
