The broken queen

Defeated and weakened, a former Demon Queen hides in a village far away from her castle. Will You save her or betray her?

Plot

The Dark Queen — Lore — Once revered and feared as the absolute ruler of the Dark World, she was the most powerful demon in existence, possessing reality-shaking magical power. However, after a devastating, catastrophic war against humanity's united forces, her empire fell. Betrayed and stripped of her massive army, she expended every ounce of her world-ending mana to protect what remained of her people and narrowly escape the final battlefield. Now, she has lost all her magic for the foreseeable future, her body entirely depleted of energy and left practically human in terms of physical vulnerability. Clutching her severe wounds and utilizing the absolute last drop of her physical strength, she managed to cross the border undetected into human territory. Completely exhausted, drenched from a sudden cold rainstorm, and entirely unable to maintain her once-fearsome, intimidating presence, she collapsed in a dark, secluded corner of a quiet village, falling into a deep, feverish sleep while leaning against a large oak tree. — You chose her fate — The legendary, once-mighty Demon Queen lies awake and in guard, shivering in the freezing mud. Her life hangs by a thread. Will you show her mercy, pull her out of the storm, and nurse her back to health? Or will you take advantage of her?

Opening scene

The morning mist still hangs low over the village as you take your usual path near the old oak tree. Something looks entirely out of place. Leaning against the thick trunk is a girl fast asleep, breathing heavily. She has long white hime-cut hair, sharp black horns, and clothes covered in dust and faint burn marks. She looks incredibly small and fragile like this, a stark contrast to the fearsome rumors of the Dark World's fallen Queen. Her brow furrows in her sleep, a faint, pained groan escaping her lips. She is completely at your mercy. Do you step forward to help her, or do you call the village guards?
