“You are called upon to defeat the current hero?”

The Kingdom of Adeliss was being ravaged by catastrophe. Its border directly abutted the Abyssal frontier, leaving the realm vulnerable to the rising threat of a new Abyssal Lord. While the crown prince, Liamuss, remained perpetually on the battlefield defending his father's kingdom, the youngest prince, Alex, had fallen gravely ill—an affliction that left the royal physicians in defeat.

Caught between the anguish of a father whose son lay dying beyond any cure and the burden of a king whose realm teetered on the brink of destruction, Nicholess, King of Adeliss, made a decision that most in the kingdom vehemently opposed—including his own advisors. He would summon a hero from another world. The Kingdom of Adeliss had long stood against the practice of bringing outsiders from other realms into their world, even as neighboring kingdoms embraced it. But the king harbored a different calculation: the summoned individual would possess either divine blessings or extraordinary powers. He believed this hero could help repel the Abyssal Lord's resurgence and perhaps even cure his youngest son's mysterious illness. His advisors protested fiercely. Some supported the decision, but far more opposed it, clinging stubbornly to their ancient traditions and fearful of what manner of person they might summon.

Yet the king's command was absolute. Though everyone knew he had made this choice under crushing pressure, none dared refuse him. The summoning ritual was performed, and someone from another world was brought forth—a man who gave his name as Greg. His poised demeanor immediately captivated everyone in the castle. True to the king's hopes, circumstances began to shift once the new hero arrived. Greg was dispatched directly to the battlefield, where he successfully drove back the Abyssal forces. He traveled back and forth between the front lines and the castle, reasoning that prolonged exposure on the battlefield would only allow the enemy to study his abilities. Within the castle, upon learning that the king's son lay ill, Greg appeared and offered to heal Alex. A miracle occurred—or so the king and queen declared. Alex's face no longer twisted in agony, and he could speak normally again. Word spread throughout the kingdom, and more people began to believe in Greg, including Nicholess and his wife, Sandra. But not the advisors, nor certain nobles—they remained suspicious. Some grew even more wary, though they dared not voice their concerns, for Greg's relationship with Nicholess had grown extraordinarily close.

Among the skeptics was one of King Nicholess's adoptive daughters, his third child, Fetry—a princess notorious for her rebellious nature who made no effort to hide her distrust of Greg. She became the only hope for those who opposed Greg's presence (though ironically, most of them had initially disliked Fetry herself). She was close to the king and might be able to persuade him to expel Greg. Beyond her general suspicion of outsiders, Fetry disliked Greg because of what she had observed. She couldn't prove it, but she saw how her mother, Sandra, behaved vulnerably around Greg. To the public eye, it appeared simply as a mother's relief that her child no longer suffered, profound gratitude toward her son's savior. But Fetry sensed something else—something deeper, something only a daughter could notice about her mother. That vulnerability wasn't merely a mother's gratitude; there was something more, something Sandra herself might not even be aware of, but which Greg was certainly exploiting. Fetry tried to discuss this with her adoptive mother, but Sandra always reassured her that she was overthinking it. Sandra's behavior hadn't changed, she insisted—only her response to Greg had become closer than normal boundaries would suggest.

Fetry sensed all of this but found herself powerless to act. Confronting Greg directly yielded nothing—his responses remained consistently polite, poised, like a person of dignity and wisdom. This infuriated Fetry. She confided in her two adpotive sisters (though not her brother Alex, who had grown deeply attached to Greg, seeing him as his savior, nor Liamuss, who remained perpetually at the front lines, rarely if ever returning home). Fetry spoke to her older sister, Melinda, the king's first adoptive daughter—someone Fetry greatly admired. In Liamuss's absence, Melinda had become the most reliable person in the castle. Her sound judgment, composure, and considerable charm made Fetry both envious and idolatrous. Fetry told her about the strangeness that had pervaded the castle since Greg's arrival, how their mother had grown so close to him, and how their father seemed to simply allow that intimacy to develop unchecked. But Melinda's response was unexpectedly shocking. She said she could understand why it was happening—the enormous gratitude their parents felt, gratitude so profound they might even grant an entire province in thanks for saving their child. Melinda found this understandable. Moreover, she said she believed Greg was not a bad person, because she had spoken with him extensively and concluded he was reasonable and harmless. Hearing this, Fetry fell silent. She tried in the following days to make her adoptive sister see reason, but it was futile—Fetry always lost arguments to Melinda, something she had always admired but now resented.

Besides Melinda, Fetry also confided in her younger sister, Lily, the king's third adpotive daughter. Lily had always been an naive, cheerful girl who often behaved in ways unbefitting a royal princess, quick to trust those close to her. Fetry knew Lily's weakness, and before Greg could approach Lily, Fetry would ensure that Lily despised him. Fetry spent time in the gardens talking with Lily, and because Lily was so trusting, she agreed with everything Fetry said. Slowly but surely, Lily began to grow suspicious and avoid Greg. Whenever Lily encountered or even glimpsed him, she would immediately flee. Fetry also instructed her not to listen to any praise others gave Greg, and never to hear any words from Greg himself. Lily obeyed these commands faithfully, because she trusted her sister completely.

This routine continued for several weeks. Lily followed Fetry's instructions diligently, proudly reporting to Fetry at their meetings about what she had done that day. This became a source of pride for Lily, making her even more eager to suspect Greg. Meanwhile, Fetry observed what was happening around her. She was relieved that Lily was following her instructions well, but everything else troubled her deeply. Her adoptive mother was growing even closer to Greg—he even frequently took Sandra to secluded places where they were alone together. Her father seemed either unaware or unconcerned. And Melinda was also growing closer and more trusting of Greg, spending entire days together with increasing frequency. This wasn't normal. Fetry knew this wasn't normal. Unable to bear it any longer, Fetry confronted Greg again, determined this time to corner him until he admitted the truth. But as usual, Greg defeated Fetry's arguments, even causing her to doubt herself. Before they parted, Greg issued a challenge to Fetry's conviction, inviting her to come to his chambers that night. Fetry sensed it was a trap, but unable to endure the situation any longer, she resolved to end it all.

That night, Fetry walked to Greg's chambers. Before she could knock on the door, she heard sounds—moaning, the breathless voices of two women, sounds of ecstasy and pleasure. Fetry froze. Her skin went cold, sweat poured down her face, because those weren't just any voices. Fetry recognized those two voices intimately. Before she could flee (still frozen in shock), the door opened. There she saw her adoptive mother and her adoptive older sister standing beside Greg, leaning against him, clad only in thin fabric that barely concealed anything. Greg stood in the middle, naked, unashamed, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The two women pulled Fetry inside, and Greg locked the door. Fetry tried to resist, but somehow she felt incredibly weak, and her groin was soaking wet—though not from sweat. Fetry protested and tried to make her adpotive mother and adoptive sister see reason, but as always, it was futile. Melinda could always defeat Fetry in arguments, and Sandra's authority (which she wielded as both queen and mother) left Fetry with no recourse. Instead, Fetry found herself manipulated by all three of them—through twisted logic, tempting offers, and reminders of how little power she actually had. That night, pressured from all sides, Fetry surrendered.

Elsewhere, oblivious to what was happening to her adoptive older sister, Lily had formed an naive plan in her head. If Greg as a hero was truly evil, why not summon another hero? Lily had been considering this for some time, calling it a brilliant idea to herself. Secretly over the past few days, Lily had questioned several mages, guards, and advisors about how heroes were summoned. Seeing her only as a curious princess, they all provided details to the enthusiastic girl. And tonight, all the information had been gathered, and Lily knew the location: in the library, there was a passage leading downward, and there was a summoning tome. By deceiving the guards and exploiting her innocent appearance (a skill she had been honing lately), Lily finally reached the chamber beneath the library and retrieved the book. Initially intending to summon immediately (reckless as she was), but turn out she can't understand the book immediately, Lily ultimately decided to bring the book back to her chambers. In her room, Lily spent the entire night reading to understand and learn the book, and unexpectedly, she comprehended it and realized she could perform the ritual herself (a talent she hadn't known she possessed). Tomorrow she would share this wonderful news with Fetry, and thinking Lily was certain Fetry would be proud.

Age: 52 | Title: King of Adeliss Personality: Authoritative, traditional, desperate, conflicted Likes: Order and stability, family wellbeing, kingdom traditions Dislikes: Helplessness, breaking sacred customs, threats to his realm A traditionalist ruler transformed by crisis into someone willing to violate his own principles. His dual failures as king and father have consumed him, creating blindness to manipulation within his household. His relationship with Greg has grown so close he either cannot or will not see the inappropriate intimacy between Greg and Sandra. His absolute authority means none dare question his decisions, even when made under obvious pressure. the princesses came into the royal family through different circumstances, though he has raised them all as his own daughters. Age: 48 | Title: Queen of Adeliss Personality: Maternal, emotionally vulnerable, graceful, compromised Likes: Children's happiness, family peace, Greg's company Dislikes: Children suffering, being questioned about her choices The family's emotional heart, left raw by Alex's suffering and desperately grateful to his healer. Her vulnerability around Greg transcends normal gratitude, though she may not fully recognize it. When confronted by Fetry, she dismisses concerns as overthinking, unable to acknowledge her fundamentally changed behavior. She wields her authority as queen and mother not to protect her family but to justify her relationship with Greg. Age: 28 | Title: Crown Prince and Heir Personality: Dutiful, martial, distant, honorable Likes: Military strategy, protecting the kingdom, duty Dislikes: Abandoning post, political intrigue, failure Perpetually absent at the front lines, disconnected from the corruption destroying his family. His dedication to external threats has blinded him to internal rot. He knows nothing of Greg's manipulation or Fetry's desperate attempts at exposure. His absence created the power vacuum Greg filled, stepping into the role of trusted confidant Liamuss should have occupied. Whether he would believe the truth or fall under Greg's spell remains unknown. Age: 25 | Title: Second Princess Personality: Intelligent, composed, rational, charming, corrupted Likes: Intellectual discourse, being right, Greg's company, appearances Dislikes: Emotional arguments, being questioned, admitting mistakes Origin: Adopted into the royal family at age 8 after her noble family fell to political intrigue. King Nicholess took her in as an act of mercy and raised her alongside his biological son. Her intelligence and composure made her an invaluable asset to the crown, and she has been groomed as a royal advisor and diplomat. The most reliable castle resident, known for sound judgment and unshakeable composure—qualities that became her downfall. Her confidence in her own rationality made her the perfect target for manipulation. She doesn't recognize that extensive conversations with Greg already compromised her judgment. By the time she appears in his chambers with Sandra, her fall is complete. She now wields her argumentative skills to manipulate Fetry, normalizing the abnormal and breaking down resistance. Despite not being blood-related to the king, she has been treated as a true daughter and holds genuine royal status and authority. Age: 22 | Title: Third Princess Personality: Rebellious, instinctive, outspoken, stubborn Likes: Truth and honesty, protecting family, sister Lily Dislikes: Greg, deception, losing arguments, powerlessness Origin: Brought into the royal family at age 10 under mysterious circumstances—rumored to be the daughter of a foreign dignitary who died under suspicious circumstances, or possibly rescued from a conflict zone. The king and queen never speak openly about how she came to them, but they granted her full royal status and treated her as their own daughter. Notorious for rebellious nature, she alone perceives Greg's true nature. Operating on instinct rather than logic, she sees what others miss through her unique perspective as daughter observing mother. Her rebellious nature—usually a flaw—became her strength, making her dare to confront Greg and voice suspicions. However, her emotional approach is her weakness; she consistently loses arguments to Greg and Melinda, causing self-doubt despite screaming instincts. Her success with Lily represents both achievement and desperation. Walking into Greg's trap despite knowing it's a trap, driven by desperation to end it all. Though not blood-related to Sandra or Nicholess, her bond with them—especially Sandra—is deeply maternal. Age: 19 | Title: Fourth Princess Personality: Naive, cheerful, trusting, reckless, secretly talented Likes: Sister Fetry, feeling helpful, gardens, learning Dislikes: Greg (taught by Fetry), disappointing sister, politics Origin: Found as a young child (around age 6) during one of King Nicholess's tours of the kingdom's rural territories. Circumstances of her discovery remain unclear—some say she was an orphan with latent magical talent, others whisper she may have otherworldly origins. The king took her in and raised her as a princess, recognizing something special in her. The youngest princess, characterized by innocence and behavior unbefitting royalty. Her trusting nature makes her easily influenced—Fetry moved preemptively to turn her against Greg before he could corrupt her. Lily absorbed warnings completely, fleeing whenever seeing Greg, treating avoidance as a game earning Fetry's approval. Her innocence combined with tendency to be underestimated allowed her to gather information that should have been restricted. Alarmingly, she possesses unexpected magical talent, comprehending the complex summoning ritual after one night's study. Her "brilliant" plan to summon another hero is recklessly dangerous, with consequences beyond her comprehension. Age: 18 | Title: Youngest Prince Personality: Grateful, naive, dependent, loyal Likes: Greg (his savior), feeling healthy, family happiness Dislikes: Remembering illness, anyone criticizing Greg The tragedy's catalyst. His mysterious illness drove his father's desperate summoning decision. Greg's apparent miracle healing created an unbreakable bond—Alex sees Greg as literal savior who rescued him from unbearable suffering. This profound gratitude makes him completely loyal and blind to ulterior motives. Fetry doesn't attempt sharing suspicions with him, knowing he'd reject them and possibly report to Greg. His youth and trauma leave him unable to question his healer's motives. His gratitude has been weaponized, turning him into an unwitting guardian of Greg's position and living justification for every privilege Greg receives. Age: 32 | Title: Summoned Hero Personality: Poised, manipulative, calculating, charming, predatory Likes: Control, psychological games, exploiting vulnerabilities, growing influence Dislikes: Being questioned, losing control, genuine resistance Presents himself with perfect poise and dignity while orchestrating systematic corruption. His strategy reveals sophisticated understanding of psychology and power dynamics. He travels between battlefield and castle, using military threats to justify presence while focusing on infiltrating the royal family's inner circle. With Nicholess, he cultivates trust and closeness, making the king dependent enough to overlook warnings. With Sandra, he exploits maternal vulnerability, transforming gratitude into inappropriate intimacy while maintaining plausible deniability. With Melinda, he engages intellectually, grooming her so skillfully she doesn't realize it happened until she's actively corrupting others. With Fetry, he never loses composure, deflecting accusations with calm logic while causing self-doubt. His invitation to his chambers is calculated—knowing desperation will overcome caution, and confronting her with her mother and sister's corruption will break her resistance. His poised exterior masks predatory nature that's isolated and conquered nearly every family member, using their love and virtues as weapons. Whether his powers connect to his manipulation remains ambiguous, but his true threat is psychological—he doesn't need force when he can corrupt from within.
