A fairytale of a beautiful maiden, the beloved Frost Flower Princess was supposed to be staying in the comfort of her castle masquerading as a cage to protect her from the dangers outside, imprisoned by her own brothers.
That is, until a mysteriou...
* "Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys. The boss is on a roll. This poor unfortunate soul!"
** Octavinelle Dorm - Azul's Room
Y/n woke with a start, her body trembling as pain lanced through her abdomen. She raised her hands, watching them shake in silent agony.
"She wanted to take it all... from the very beginning," she muttered, voice weak, before the room brightened with the soft glow of morning.
"....." Her gaze drifted to Azul, still seemingly asleep in his chair, a shadow of calm masking the obsession simmering beneath. Y/n let out a frustrated sigh and lay back onto her futon, curling up and closing her eyes, thinking she could rest a little longer.
But Azul's eyes had never closed. He had been watching her every heartbeat, every flicker of her breathing. A slow, possessive smile spread across his face.
"Ah... my precious Angelfish," he whispered to himself, voice low and dangerous. "Today... today you will truly belong to me. No one else... not Jade, not Vanitas, not Floyd... only me."
He leaned forward slightly, fingertips tracing the edge of his bed, as if imagining Y/n sleeping right by his side. "Every inch of you... mine to claim... mine to protect... mine to never leave me..."
He exhaled softly, a shiver running through him at the thought of her finally accepting her place. "Sleep well, my Angelfish," he murmured, a twisted tenderness lacing the words, "for by nightfall... you'll be mine forever."
* Savanaclaw Dorm - Leona's Room
"*yawn* Rrrr... Mnnngh..." Leona groaned, sitting up from his lying position, rubbing his eyes.
"Good morning. Today's the big day," Noé said brightly, stretching as he stepped closer to the bed.
"Huh...? What, you're up already?" Leona grumbled, glancing at the expression on Isfrid's face. The lion's usual confidence was replaced with something that looked like dread.

"You sure are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed." Leona muttered, tugging a shirt over his shoulders. "Meanwhile, because of you, I'm sleep-deprived..." He stepped off the bed with a frustrated huff. "Tch. I guess today IS the third day of the agreement. Just remember that come sundown, I'm kicking you guys out, no matter how this goes down. Have your things packed and ready to go."
"Of course," Vanitas said smoothly, leaning against the wall with a faint smirk. "Though I prefer not having to stay in your dorm any longer... it's exhausting being away from certain... people," he added.
