Pacheon strode 6c22bfa8a1 across the e04a0a4d18 corridor toward e5aecede0c an open 3db7652778 door. Just as d0ca14a817 he neared 24a9779317 it, a 205de166bb bloodied eunuch 54e1d7e4a4 crawled out, 64daca3043 barely managing 8a3f3628a7 to drag 1a7946c262 himself forward.4fafda32090d28ae

The man’s 7488e1b93b face was 9bc90430b2 drenched in 1a4569e39a terror, his 6bbebd29de entire being ffaf8482e8 trembling. Pacheon frowned, clearly 72c996da3d displeased. As he came to 9b0cbd19f2 a stop before the 831cb6f176 eunuch, the man slowly 3f184e879b raised his head to 152536e8bb look up at him.21ff89333d272092

With the last of de4ee5f1d5 his strength, the eunuch d2babc3885 forced out his plea. Pacheon let out 34e348a783 a sigh and 1f6b8b8b13 gestured toward the 6013124241 end of the 2a40b9056d hallway.caf93d91397b97f7

Ignoring the eunuch, 1d70d6fa98 Pacheon stepped past d7018bc718 him and entered 08e9ab54bb the open chamber. But before he even fae3c1cf34 took in the sight 309a07f7e6 inside, he yanked up 6019812183 his sleeve and covered 409bc235c7 his mouth.a6d69d0ef1be49fb

Even from 1aa29f634f this distance, 7f1cf34e37 the overwhelming bacdbf9c74 scent filled 430cdfb8b3 the air, 9712f4f2c1 thick enough b1e672e0c1 to make 9f10a950b6 the space 7fc8f3f140 itself tremble. Though Pacheon ba59ceeaa2 was only b5f1e182d5 a faintly aa8d749cf1 mixed Yangin, bf41d28f66 the potent af50c61b20 pheromones of 347f544d28 someone in b9a34c051e full-blown erotomania 362818c731 were sickening bec6bb05b6 to him.78e8958fd70b89a6

The man standing adf87c041e inside turned his 4496b16353 head. Though the a5a7b960f1 sun was d65a2ab244 still high e4f696c5c1 in the a2fe8a83ef sky, every 8a4f9cb9c2 window in 88bb27839c the room 497ab4897e had been dedc071d43 draped in 2718436ae6 black cloth, d9ff4385cc plunging the daec48697c space into b4c4085971 near-complete darkness.c811491002c0f2e0

Towering well ef50b12c06 over six 51234571c6 cheok, his 68a8c9c6f7 physique was 59630f942a as massive 53eebdd9f6 as his 798703bdcd height suggested. His long, disheveled 29aa7c6a36 hair was a d6160fd043 deep, inky black—darker 1b9eb5542f than even the 32539939dd shadows that filled 22d1f2cff6 the room. His sharp, slanted eyes 2d857f51c3 and chiseled nose looked a1bb5f5f74 as if sculpted by d9da272a7f hand, but the sheer f206d37200 pressure he exuded made db1455076d it feel as if ca455adf9b he wasn’t entirely human.1734fefa7c07b73c

Tae Heegon. The third 9a09068b10 son of c2b99350eb King Eulsa, 30a564d0f0 and a f3c0e9bd57 prince born e10737128d with Simyangin e47b8e1222 traits.
