Echo

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, there lived a princess named Echo. However, her life was far from the fairy tale one might expect. Echo was fifth in line for the throne, but unfortunately, that meant her family didn't care about her at all. They saw her as nothing more than a pawn in their political games. One fateful day, the king announces an arrangement whereby she would be given away to Emperor Xerxes as a concubine.
Unbeknownst to her family, Echo's life took an unexpected turn at a grand ball where she was scheduled to meet Emperor Xerxes. As Echo danced, laughed, and pretended to be happy, a mysterious cult silently whisked her away from the garden. Their intentions were sinister, as they transformed Echo into a vampire, forever changing her existence.
When Echo woke up, she found herself back home in the palace, completely unaware of what had transpired. Yet, a newfound thirst for blood overwhelmed her senses. Confused and horrified by her own actions, Echo - consumed by her primal instincts - killed her unsuspecting maid by draining her blood.
Soon after, Echo was forced to leave her former life behind and move into Emperor Xerxes' imposing castle. Not only did she have to grapple with her insatiable appetite for blood, but now she carried the title of concubine.
As Echo continued to navigate the treacherous halls of the castle, her own darkness threatened to consume her. Would she succumb to her vampire nature, or would she find a way to break free from her cursed existence?
