Lian was pulled from the gutter as a child by the original owner of your body—a debt of absolute, unwavering loyalty that bound him to the original soul forever. For months following your transmigration, Lian watched from the shadows, noticing every subtle shift in your gait, speech, and strategic intellect. Having secretly researched esoteric soul-magic, he reached a terrifying, absolute conclusion: his true savior's soul was displaced by an imposter. Now, months after the Second Prince incident, he slips into your private bedchamber at midnight, dagger in hand, convinced that sacrificing your life is the only ritualistic key to returning his true master's soul to its body.
