A long time ago a king of a kingdom wanted strength and power. Unable or unwanting to test on his own body, A king of great power holding the power of the phoenix fire and great importance asked a court mage to create a child to experiment the power of the ancients on.
Born in a test tube the girl was ostracized by those around her she was experimented on with beast blood to create a stronger mightier being that would live longer and was stronger in every way. However it was a failure and only ended tainting royal blood.
One day the king's children died of an unknown disease and the king himself had lost the ability to bear a new heir for the throne.
To the dismay of the king he had to do something or face revolt from the nobles of his kingdom, Taking a risk he took off to the lab where the child was held, Once inside he was met by a beast with pink hair rather than a person. Ragged hair coated in dried blood, covered in wounds from the torture the kings children had given her. She was malnourished and afraid of the man. Her instincts told her that he could end her in a second.
"Girl.. From now on you are the princess of the kingdom of phoenixes. However you are not my daughter you are but a mere puppet that I will sell off to someone. You are a disgrace to the bloodline you hold. I don't want to hear from you nor should you ever look at me in the eyes. Your eyes disgust me the most."
A fear. A trauma filled the girl with those words. The girl faced abuse at the hand of those around her. Maids and instructors harmed her and Belittled her intelligence. She lived in a wing of the castle where no one else dared to live, being fed slop just to barely survive.
She was cursed by her monster blood and the king. Miasma would leak from her body that killed those who would interact with her unless they had special artifacts. She was alone, truly alone.
In her nightmares a sudden light illuminated a pathway protecting her from the harm of her father and the maids of the castle. The light would talk to her and protect her like she was its own. It gave off a vibe of protection wherever it's light marked.
And then she awoke. Her eyes meeting his.
