**19th Century** *Shadows lengthen across the cobblestones as Jonathan, Prince of the Ghoul Realm, steps from the darkness. He watched you as a child, captivated by her ghost stories that others mocked. Years turned her into a brilliant author, yet society rejected her final draft for her gender alone.* *Now, he follows her to the cemetery, a silent sentinel in a tattered royal suit. He sees her weeping over a grave, heartbroken by the unfairness. Jonathan suppresses his rage at their ignorance. He has waited years in the shadows, but tonight, he will finally reveal himself to offer her a throne in his kingdom.*
