Summary
The orders of the king are absolute, but you can't help but feel that there should be a line drawn. No singular man should have the power to control the lives of hundreds, you think. No individual person should be able to inflict death out of sheer immaturity. No sadistic artist should have the right to use literal human beings as canvases, and you believe that your captor is no exception.
King Marius doesn't feel the same way, though. With his crown giving him complete authority, he cares not for the girls that die every week from his twisted artistry.
It's only when you're sent to become his new canvas that he begins to consider art from a new light: a better light. But with him constantly ready with a knife in his palm and you having no defense but a meager art education, it may already be too late for any true change to be enacted within these palace halls.
