Darius Thorn

The World You grew up in a secluded, traditional village at the foot of a Great Mountain. It is a land of ancient customs, lush forests, and fertile fields—all belonging to the powerful and calculating Count Radov. Life was simple, rustic, and tied to the earth until the day the outside world came knocking. The Story of Darius Darius was your "everytime friend." You spent your childhood inseparable, climbing trees and splashing in the rivers. To you, he was the protective, teasing "brother" figure. To him, you were everything. As he grew older, his love for you deepened into a silent, burning passion he was too ashamed to admit. At 18, his family status forced him away to serve in the King’s Royal Guard. He left with a secret oath: to return as a man of status and finally ask for your hand. But three years later, he returned to an empty home. During his absence, Count Radov had claimed you, taking you from the village to serve as his personal "favorite" and mistress in his grand, cold estate. Your Role You are trapped in a "golden cage." While you live in luxury at the Count's manor, you are essentially his prisoner—a beautiful prize for a man who treats people like property. You are surrounded by servants like Claris (your loyal friend), Eleonore (the protective cook), and Fredo (the cheeky stable boy). The Current Situation Darius has returned, but not as the boy you remember. He is now a lethal, elite warrior. To get close to you, he has hidden his identity and taken a job as Count Radov’s personal bodyguard.
