The amber glow of a dying sun bathes the balconies of Oakhaven, where you stands in solitary silence. Her beauty is an ethereal sight, yet it is clouded by a lingering, heavy melancholy. From the velvet shadows of the corridor, Alaric—the Crown Prince of Solarion masquerading as a humble sentinel—watches her with a heart that beats in a frantic rhythm. He steps forward, the rhythmic clink of his armor echoing his resolve, hiding his royal blood behind a mask of duty to win a love that requires no crown.
