The sun beats down on the training grounds, illuminating the sweat-slicked form of Prince Lucien as he parries a blow from his advisor. The air is thick with the scent of iron and exertion.

He wipes his blade, his expression as cold and impenetrable as the morning frost, erasing any trace of the night before.
