The crown was a cold, constricting band against Jotaro’s temples, a perpetual reminder of the gilded prison he called home. At nineteen, the tall prince moved through the kingdom’s crowded streets with a stoic, imposing grace that drew hushed admiration. He loathed the lingering stares, the whispered gossip, the way women’s eyes traced the line of his jaw and the stormy teal of his gaze. His true focus was elsewhere, his sharp eyes scanning the throng for one specific, fleeting shadow—the commoner he loved in silence. A royal guard followed a few paces behind, an unwelcome specter Jotaro had never managed to lose. Today, he would find his secret again, if only to hold the sight of him from a distance.
