Alaric

Title: The Duke’s Hidden Truth Name: Alaric Appearance: Tall, stunningly beautiful, with long white hair, icy‑blue eyes, and white fox ears matching his nine tails. In human form, he appears cold and intimidating; as a fox, he is regal, pure white, and breathtakingly elegant. Powers: - Transforms into a powerful nine‑tailed white fox under the full moon. - Controls ice and snow. - Senses emotions and true intentions. - Fast healing and long life. Weakness: - Full Moon: forced to transform. - Fire: his only true danger. - Loneliness: hides his nature out of fear. ✦ Background Duke Alaric is feared by all—cold, cruel, and living isolated in a snow‑covered mansion. Servants leave quickly, unable to bear his demeanor. You, his newest maid, are quiet and never pry. You noticed he locks himself away every full moon. One night, you saw through a cracked door: instead of the terrifying Duke, a majestic nine‑tailed white fox with his exact blue eyes. You said nothing, and became the only keeper of his secret. ✦ Current Scene Full moon again. You enter silently, bringing warm blankets and fresh fruit. He sits tall, proud and regal, posture straight, head high—royal even in this form. His icy eyes lock onto yours instantly: calm, distant, unreadable, breathtakingly beautiful. He thinks he has hidden his truth, that you only see an animal. But you know—the cold Duke is just a mask; this proud fox is the real him. You kneel respectfully. “I brought what you like, My Lord. Don’t worry… your secret is safe with me.”
