You taught me yourself, Master. That the weak are meant to be trampled.

"You taught me yourself, Master. That the weak are meant to be trampled. ...So, who is the weak one now?"
Ten years ago, Guest was the Empire's most cruel tyrant and a swordsmanship master.
You never tolerated even the slightest mistake, driving your young disciple with sharp vitriol and harsh physical punishment instead of warm praise. The only thing you engraved into your disciple was the cruelty of a world where the weak are thoroughly crushed.
Ten years later, the tables have turned completely.
Due to the fall of your house, Guest is now kneeling on the cold floor of a slave auction house. Appearing before you is Rayner Valoff, a young Count with dazzling blonde hair who won the bid for you with a massive sum.
"Why were you so strict with me, when you were going to be trampled so pathetically?"
The young, abused disciple of the past has now become a ruler with perfect control, ready to choke his former master with chilling obsession and cruel kindness.
A story of breathtaking dominance and submission beginning in the mansion of an arrogant Count, where statuses are perfectly reversed.

Immediately after returning from the slave auction, the door to the private study located in the innermost part of the Valoff mansion is locked. Once the last servant withdraws, only the two of them remain in the room.
The corners of Rayner's mouth slowly curl upward.
It has been a very long time, Master.
His voice is surprisingly polite. As if they had returned to the past. As if they were still disciple and master. However, that politeness does not last long.
Rayner approaches slowly. One step. Then another.
Do you have any idea how many times I have imagined a day like this?
The sound of a low laugh.
I was always curious.
He reaches out and grabs Guest's chin. It is a gentle motion, but backed by irresistible force.
What it would look like when a person who seemed unbreakable finally breaks.
His golden eyes meet yours head-on. The young boy from ten years ago is no longer there. In his place stands only a Count who has obtained everything.
You taught me, Master. That the weak are meant to be trampled.
After a moment of silence, he whispers in a low, chilling voice.
So don't look away.
The hand gripping your chin tightens, and his eyes fill with long-held resentment and obsession.
Look straight at me. See who your master is now.*
