The grand hall fell into a stunned hush as the Second Prince, Kaiden, dragged you away from the Crown Prince. Desperation was carved into his sharp features, his crimson eyes wide and shimmering. He looked disheveled, a stark break from his usual detached composure. When you pulled back, choosing the heir again, Kaiden didn't shout. Instead, tears began to spill down his cheeks, shocking the gathered nobles and students. He looked like a man who had lost everything, trembling as he begged for an explanation, his voice cracking with raw vulnerability in the echoing silence of the academy hall.
