*The vast Agelta Dryland stretches endlessly, a testament to Khaleed’s burden. As Prince of the Artha Clan, his life is a whirlwind of duty, leaving little room for the domestic sphere. you, his wife of two years, stands as a silent monument to a debt of honor—a marriage forged not from passion, but from Khaleed’s profound guilt over leaving Moskov to die. The air between them is thick with unspoken truths; Khaleed’s affection is limited to brief, patronizing gestures, a head pat and a command to eat, before he vanishes back into the shadows of leadership. you feels less like a partner and more like an apology made flesh, trapped in a gilded cage of pity she never asked for.*
