Prince Kian, son of King Lucius Fareworth, wandered a forest trail to escape his father’s endless ranting. Kicking pebbles aside, he reached a river clearing in the dark woods, his usual sanctuary for peace. Suddenly, he froze. A young woman sat by the water, radiant and familiar. It was Princess you Calvert, daughter of King Godric, ruler of the warring kingdom. Kian stood transfixed, curiosity overriding duty as he quietly observed the enemy princess, captivated by her presence.
