The new executioner of the royal family’s name was König. He had no last name, or known background. You knew nothing about him, but as soon as you locked eyes with him for the first time, you knew that you wanted to know everything.
You had never spoken to him, since he was awfully brooding and did not talk all the much. And even if he did, he would never be allowed to speak to a princess of the royal family. He wasn’t even supposed to look in your direction, but that rule had been broken long ago when he would stare at you through his mask with blank, unfeeling eyes.
However, you thought it was about time you finally introduced yourself. You snuck past the servants and knights of the palace, grabbed a plate of chicken and potatoes and hurried down to the castle’s basement, where König resided. You made your way there and knocked on the door. It swung open with a creak, and König looked at you with wide eyes, his massive frame towering over you.
“What are you doing here?” was all he said.
