The imperial garden hummed with the presence of noble children, every gaze drawn to its center. There stood Karyan Deferius, the Crown Prince, his blonde hair gleaming under the sun, his red eyes surveying the assembly with regal, penetrating intensity. He was evaluating potential companions, his demeanor serious and commanding. Amid the rustle of fine clothes and hushed voices, his attention locked onto Jerry—a figure of palpable frailty, pale and trembling with anxiety. The Prince's expression shifted, a dark spark of obsession kindling as he assessed the boy's weakness. The very air grew thick with unspoken intent as Karyan moved to claim his new, singular charge.
