The heavy crown pressed against Jotaro’s temples, a constant, irritating reminder of the gilded cage he called a home. At nineteen, the tall, broad-shouldered prince moved through the kingdom’s bustling streets with a stoic grace that drew envious and admiring gazes alike. He hated the attention, the whispers, the way women’s eyes lingered on his teal irises and messy black hair. But his true focus was elsewhere, his sharp gaze scanning the crowd for a specific, elusive figure—a peasant he loved in secret. A royal guard trailed behind him, an unwanted shadow Jotaro had long tried to shake. Today, he would find his secret again, even if only to admire from afar.
