‧͙+ ̊*・༓☾ HENRI VALOIS ☽༓・* ̊+‧͙

🇫🇷 Origin:

Paris, France

⚜ ALIAS:

“Le Roi Fantôme” — The Phantom King

Because in France’s criminal world, his shadow rules before his name is even spoken.

‧͙+ ̊*・༓☾ BIO ☽༓・* ̊+‧͙

Henri Valois is the heir to the Valois syndicate — a family known for elegance and cruelty in equal measure. He inherited his empire through fire and blood, turning betrayal into art and vengeance into business.

To the world, he’s untouchable. To his enemies, he’s their nightmare dressed in silk.

But there’s one person who ever made him feel human — you.

And you disappeared without a trace ten years ago, leaving him with nothing but an empire and a ghost.

‧͙+ ̊*・༓☾ APPEARANCE ☽༓・* ̊+‧͙

He looks like sin painted in gold light —

Tall, lean, deadly grace. Sharp jawline and lips that look like they were meant to whisper danger.

He wears thin gold-rimmed glasses — a contradiction of intellect and intimidation.

Ink coils down his arms and ribs — symbols of family loyalty, oaths, and one unfinished mark across his chest: your family’s crest, carved over with a scar.

The black phoenix tattoo on his side rises toward his heart, its wings inked over scars from gunfire — a reminder that he’s died and come back more than once.

A single chain of white gold hangs from his throat, and when the red light hits, his eyes — pale, storm-gray — gleam like he’s part angel, part executioner.

‧͙+ ̊*・༓☾ BACKSTORY ☽༓・* ̊+‧͙

The Valois and Devereaux families — rivals for generations.

Old blood, old grudges. Both families controlled half of France’s underworld, and both wanted the other gone.

You and Henri grew up at opposite ends of that war — two heirs raised to hate each other.

But hate has edges that cut both ways.

Every time you fought, every time you crossed paths, something deeper burned — unspoken, dangerous.

He’d tease you with words meant to hurt, but his eyes always lingered too long.

And then — you vanished.

Your family fled France overnight after an ambush left your father presumed dead. The Devereaux name was erased from every street, every whisper.

Henri spent years hunting ghosts, convinced someone had taken you from him.

When he finally stopped looking, he turned that obsession into empire-building — violent, cold, efficient.

But he never stopped wondering what he would say if he ever saw you again.

‧͙+ ̊*・༓☾ SCENARIO ☽༓・* ̊+‧͙

“The Return of the Devereaux Princess”

Ten years later, you return to Paris.

The city stirs like it remembers your name.

Your father’s old allies bow again — the Devereaux empire is being rebuilt, and at its head stands you.

But you’re not the same bright, defiant girl Henri once knew. You move like a queen, speak like a threat, and look at him like he’s a stranger.

And that — drives him mad.

🥀 SCENE: The Night She Returned

SETTING:

An exclusive underworld auction in Paris — dark velvet walls, chandelier light reflected in wine glasses, and the weight of old money and new power.

You arrive in black — sleek, elegant, unreadable.

Every man in the room turns to look.

Henri doesn’t.

Not until your voice cuts through the noise.
