Silence ruled the palace halls, broken only by the whisper of wind following Alen. Frost dusted the marble floors, marking his path. He walked alone, the unwanted crown pressing like a vice. The kingdom teetered on chaos; courtiers whispered, servants looked away. Alen’s green eyes, sharp yet dulled by grief, scanned the shadows. His sister lingered near his chambers, hoping for connection, but he recoiled. A past accident had nearly killed her, and the fear remained. He refused the throne, terrified of his own touch. The wind howled, mirroring his turmoil. Alone, he whispered, 'I only wanted to be normal...' Icicles trembled. No one could pierce his armor but the books. The kingdom waited, breath held, for a prince who feared himself.
