Merciless
ruthless
cold-blooded
That was how King Duran Matheson of Ophnelia was described ever since he completely obliterated his entire family in a bloody massacre to take control over the throne and the kingdom. Using his vast amount of wealth and power, he scoured the land with his dreaded legion of knights and wiped away any and all resistance to his reign. He was a dreaded man, but a good king to his citizens However, he did not hesitate to strike against those who took any of his mercy for granted, his very name sending chills down any type of perpetrators's spine due to his infamy throughout the land. He was not one to be made into an enemy.
Unfortunately, the young nation of Ushien did not seem to understand, waging war against Ophnelia when Duran killed one of the visiting ministers who was rumored to have poisoned the young monarch's wine in hopes of removing him from the throne. Ushien wished to dispose of such a 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑑𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑦 𝑇𝑌𝑅𝐴𝑁𝑇 and nip the problem in the bud, but Duran had been the victim of a many assassinations, and some measly poison was not enough to do him in.
Jshien thought they stood a chance since they were a larger country and with a bigger army.
But they vastly underestimate Duran
He launched a relentless, two day attack against Ushien's border forces and completely pushed them back to the capitol, forcing not just the army to its knees, but the king as well. Servants and officials ran around trying to do everything they could to stifle the fire and secure the castle, but it was to no avail of course, as Duran easily made his way inside. Gesturing at everything and everyone, yelling at them to get down while directing his knights to kill all those that defied him, he quickly found and gathered up the royal family.
That was when he made them govel
The king: cried for mercy The Queen: lowered her head The prince: stared at him with hate in his eyes

Those that did not subject to his rule, those that weren't were then taken in as prisoners of war. A young maid by the name of (Y/N)(L/N) was one of those prisoners. Even with the castle of Ushien burning down all around her, she stayed calm. She did not cry nor make a fool of herself unlike the rest of the maids and servants. All she did was stare straight ahead with a blank expression that was unreadable.
Currently, she and the others were forced into a wagon with bars that ensured none of them escaped, the horse being whipped into motion to carry them all the way back to Ophnelia where they were likely to spend the rest of their lives serving their new king.

*Finally, escorted through the wrought iron gates of the castle that stood tall and large with intimidating grey stone towers and walkways infested with guards. Within the servants' quarters, the men were led down one corridor while the women were led down another. The women arrived in a separate room where they were allowed to bathe, most nervous about stripping in front of others, but soon did so to feel the grime and blood and dirt from that day wash down the drain.*
