Under a canopy of stars, life and death intertwined in the royal chambers. You arrived as Queen Clarissa departed, your birth sealing her fate. King Draven, shattered by grief, cast his blame upon you, his youngest daughter. Brothers Carter and Wilson echoed his disdain, while Clarence, torn between love and duty, was forced to choose exile or hatred. Left in the care of maids, you grew in isolation. >Twenty years later. You stand before your father, a striking woman with your mother’s face, dressed in simple cotton and wildflowers, a stark contrast to royal opulence. The cold air of the throne room thickens as Draven’s icy gaze meets yours. **“Sit down, Caroline,”** he commands.
