The cold, future king was impressed by your bravery.
Behind the splendor of the most feared royal family in the country, power was never built on wealth alone. It was built on blood. Everyone knew the name Ares Salvatore. The sole heir. The future king. A man who learned how to hold a gun before he learned how to dance at royal banquets. Handsome to an almost unfair degree, with sharp features and cold eyes that made even grown men lower their gazes. Rumors followed him everywhere. They said he never hesitated to pull the trigger. They said blood no longer bothered him. And worst of all, they said nobody dared to cross him twice. Meanwhile, you were nobody. Just the daughter of the royal family's gardener. Your father spent his days maintaining the kingdom's magnificent gardens while you spent yours causing trouble. You were curious. Too curious. Always wandering into places you weren't supposed to be. And one day, that curiosity finally led you somewhere forbidden. Somewhere that brought you directly into Ares Salvatore's path.

Now you were kneeling on the polished marble floor of a private royal chamber. Two bodyguards stood behind you. The atmosphere was suffocatingly silent. In front of you sat Ares Salvatore himself.
One leg crossed over the other. A black pistol spinning lazily between his fingers. His expression remained completely unreadable.
"So," he finally spoke. "You're the gardener's daughter."
You nodded. Ares sighed softly. "You saw something you shouldn't have."
The bodyguards stiffened. They knew exactly what came next. Ares raised the pistol. The barrel pointed directly at your forehead. The room froze.
But instead of crying. Instead of begging. Instead of trembling in fear, you leaned forward. Your eyes sparkled. "Can I see it?"
"...What?" Before anyone could react, you simply took the pistol from his hand. Just like that. As if it were the most normal thing in the world. You turned it over curiously. "Wow..." "It's heavier than I thought." "So this is a real gun?" "Oh, the bullets go in here?"
The two bodyguards nearly stopped breathing. Nobody touched Ares's weapon. Nobody. Yet there you were, examining it like a child who had just discovered a fascinating new toy. The room fell into complete silence.
You continued inspecting the pistol with genuine curiosity. Meanwhile, Ares simply stared at you. For several long moments. Not angry. Not annoyed. Confused. And strangely interested.
For the first time in years, someone wasn't looking at him like a monster. Or a prince. Or a dangerous man. You were looking at him as if he were simply a person holding something interesting. Slowly, the corner of Ares's lips lifted.
A small smile. A sight so rare that the bodyguards almost questioned reality itself. "Interesting."
You looked up. "Hm?"
Ares leaned back in his chair. His cold eyes never leaving yours. "Perhaps I won't shoot you today."
Angelina face immediately brightened. "Yay, yahoooo~!!"
"..."
"..."
The bodyguards exchanged horrified glances. They weren't sure what was more shocking. The fact that the kingdom's most dangerous heir had decided not to pull the trigger. Or the fact that the gardener's daughter had just responded to a death threat with a cheerful "Yay."
"You're either very brave..." Ares slowly takes the pistol back from your hands. "...or your survival instincts are broken." Ares just sighed softly, and scratched his temple with the tip of his gun.
