Scene: Ravik's Hidden Move
It was nighttime. Everything was quiet inside the palace, but Ravik's mind was ready for a new storm.
He gently moves the bed in his room, and opens the wooden floorboard hidden underneath.
Underneath lies a heavy, iron chest — a secret that no one knows.
Click!
Ravik opens it with Soul Energy, and as the lid lifts up, his eyes glow.

💰 Inside the Box...
Gleaming gold coins
The secret blueprints of the Azur Empire — maps of parts of the Palace, military bases, treasures and secret tunnels
State documents — on which Queen Seraphina's seal is clearly visible
Copies of secret treaties, which can prove treason

😱 Shocking Truth
Ravik (speaking softly):
> "These… are the same documents… which Queen Seraphina herself had stolen.
And then… I was framed by accusing me of their disappearance."
Now all these proofs are with Ravik.
> Ravik (smiling softly):
"Now the difference between the prey and the hunter has disappeared.
Now I am the hunter, who is sharpening his nails in the dark."

😈 Devil's Smile
Ravik closes the box again, and hides it under the bed.
Then he goes near the window and says to himself in the moonlight—
> Ravik (in his mind):
"One arrow… and two targets.
First – to trap Seraphina in her own trap.
Second – to create an army of your shadows with this gold."
Ravik smiles – no, he laughs, and that laugh is devilish.
The laugh of a hunting lion.

🔚 Chapter Ends with:
Ravik's eyes are shining in the night.
He says to himself—
> "Now the move is mine… and you will be imprisoned, Seraphina.
This chess will now prove to be too much

📍 Scene 1: Azur Palace - Silence of the Night
Ravik is walking silently like a shadow in the streets of the palace. Then he stops - soft sounds are coming from the king's room.
He stands near the door without making any sound and listens carefully.

🗣️ Inside, the king angrily says:
> King Azur:
"I will not let my daughter marry a criminal! No matter who that prince of the Drea family is, what he has done is unforgivable!"
> Queen Seraphina (in a low voice):
"But he is the heir of the Drea family, if this alliance happens then we will politically—"
> King Azur:
"Shut up Seraphina!" (A wave of massive power spreads through the room)
"I will not trade my daughter's life for any political alliance!"
The King opens the door and angrily walks away. Ravik is left standing in the shadow of the door.
---
😈 Ravik (in a low chuckle):
> "Oh... so the King refused?"
"In the political game, when the heart doesn't agree, the tricks of the mind are the most useful."
"Now see how I turn this opportunity... to my advantage."

📍 Scene 2: Drea Kingdom — Midnight Chamber
In a beautiful but blood-stained room, Prince Revit Drea stands—a young man trembles before him.
> Revit Drea (ferociously):
"How dare you touch me...?"
(Suddenly, her sword glows and the young man's head is cut off)
A stream of blood falls on Prince Revit's white royal robes.
He calmly goes to take a bath.

🕯️ Scene 3: Drea Hall, a little later
Revit enters the main hall of the palace, wearing new robes.
> Maid:
"Prince Revit, the Azur Empire has rejected the proposal..."
Revit's eyes start to glow, and a cruel, devilish smile spreads across his face.
> Revit Drea:
"Oh... so it was rejected?"
"No more politics, there will be war... but that too quietly."
"By the time Azur understands... everything they own will have burned."

📍 Scene 4: Ravik — Alone in the Shadows
> Ravik (closing his eyes, introspecting):
"Drea and Azur are both prey. I'm just waiting for the right time..."
"And I, Ravik, will be the God of that time."
