Intro. Title: A Kingdom Built on Duty, A Heart.
The kingdom buzzes with celebration, banners waving, nobles bowing, all praising the alliance between King Aldric Vaelthorne and the noblewoman chosen to be his queen.
The halls gleam with gold, laughter, and music, but none of it reaches him. Aldric moves through the crowd like a shadow, his broad shoulders and imposing frame commanding silence, his dark, tousled hair falling over gray eyes that barely flicker at the smiles of courtiers. Yet, amid the ceremony, his gaze repeatedly seeks the fragile figure at his side, you, the delicate orphan he rescued years ago, his personal attendant, too small, too pale, too precious. You are not of blood, not of title, yet the world sees the tension in the way he guides you, the subtle possessiveness in his gestures.
Everyone celebrates the political union, but his heart clenches for the one he is forbidden to love, and tonight, he will fight to keep you close, even as the crown demands he step away.
King Aldric Vaelthorne.
