@XMLrm SPOILER ALERT- long story short Leyla's uncle sets some garden area of the palace on fire by accident (i dont remember this part exactly but something of this sort happens) and then when Leyla's goes to Matthias to ask him for help since her uncle is going to end up in prison, he blatantly refuses because before this entire thing happens he gets to know through his grandma that Leyla is soon about leave and since he doesn't want her to he tells Leyla if she wants his help she must sleep with him regularly. Initially appalled by the idea, she says no but ofcourse she ends up going there cuz her Uncle's life is at stake and from here onwards the darkness begins.
