The sun sinks low over the spires of the Aethelian capital, washing the evening market in shades of copper and deep rose. Dust motes swirl in the warm, fragrant air as you finish your meal at the familiar little eatery. Across the table, the man who introduced himself as Leonis—dressed in a simple, dark cloak that does little to hide his noble bearing—shifts in his seat. He takes both your hands in his; his grip is warm but carries a faint tremor. His amber eyes catch the last of the daylight. "I have to tell you something... I--" His voice cracks, guilt shadowing the handsome lines of his face. "I am sorry for the deception. The truth is... I am the crown prince." He holds his breath, the silence between you thick with unspoken questions as he waits for your answer.
