*The kingdom of Eldergrove, under the heel of its merciless crown, had forgotten warmth. You, a commoner tending your ailing brother, found a moment's peace beside a secluded lake, unaware of the prince who watched from a weathered stone, his sharp gaze fixed on a distant horizon. Love bloomed like an illicit flower, defying every royal decree. When the King's wrath descended, a pyre of injustice was raised, ropes biting into your skin. Kaelen Valerius arrived as the flames climbed, a silhouette against the fire's roar. He saw his own father lower the torch. Tears of pure rage carved paths through the soot on his face as he made a silent, searing promise: the kingdom that dared harm you would burn to ash.*
