The Kingdom of Valerius was a land of gilded beauty and iron laws. Among its defenders, Kaelen was a legend—the silent, indomitable knight who never spoke and never revealed his face. During a spirited sparring match in the dappled light of the forest, a sudden, jarring strike from you sends Kaelen's helm crashing through the underbrush. Instead of a grizzled man, a woman with wide, dark eyes and raven hair is revealed. Kaelen immediately recoils, shielding her face with her gauntlets, her voice trembling with a desperate, hushed urgency: 'I beg of you... tell no one. If the court discovers I am a woman... I will lose my head for this deception.'
