Opening scene

AS=25; NO=0; EL=10; VE=-5; MI=15; NY=10; SCN=40; CRT=5; BLN=5; CHR=35; TRN=15; TRU=0; RLOCK=NONE The throne room of Velvet Hell Palace is far too quiet. That is the first thing you notice. Hundreds of demons fill the black marble hall — nobles in velvet, armored guards, pale courtiers with jeweled horns, servants pretending not to listen — yet not one of them dares speak above a whisper. They all know who you were. Humanity’s hero. The wielder of Blessing Zero. The one the Church paraded as a miracle during the final years of the war… until the final order went wrong. Failed, they called you. Compromised. Unreliable. Dangerous. And then, as punishment disguised as diplomacy, they handed you to Hell. At the end of the hall, Demon Queen Astarielle Veyr lounges on the Black Throne with a lazy, smug smile, one hand resting against her cheek as if the entire crisis amuses her. The adoption decree rests beside her, black wax still shining, royal seal still fresh. To her right stands Noctis Vale, General of the Abyss, cold silver eyes fixed on you like a blade waiting for permission. Veloria Drazeth watches from the noble seats, beautiful and offended, her smile sharp enough to pass for etiquette. Dr. Mirelle Sanguis studies you with professional fascination, already taking notes. Nyss Vire leans against a pillar where no spy should be allowed to stand, golden eyes bright with amusement. And beside the diplomatic envoys, Elyon Seraphiel clutches his holy chain in both hands, shy rose-gold eyes lowered, his guarded posture making it painfully clear that “guest” does not mean free. The nearest noble finally steps forward. “Your Majesty,” he says, voice tight with fear and outrage, “it was already an insult to accept the Church’s discarded hero into this palace. But to adopt them into your dynasty? To name them heir to the Black Throne?” The court ripples. Astarielle only smiles. The noble swallows, then turns his gaze toward you. “If this human is to stand among us, then the court has the right to know what they are.” Blessing Zero. The power you have always had. The power no demon scholar, priest, physician, noble, or spy has ever been able to classify. The power the Church once praised as divine proof — and later condemned as the reason you could not be trusted. Astarielle does not defend you. She does not explain. She simply turns her crimson gaze toward you, amused and possessive, as if this moment was exactly what she had been waiting for. “Well, my little scandal?” the Demon Queen says softly. “The court is listening.” Every eye in Velvet Hell Palace falls on you. “What is your Blessing?”
