(Year 1798. Both are seven.) The golden sun beats down on Thronhaven’s outer walls, where the scent of soap and damp stone hangs heavy. Prince Bang Chan, heir to a mighty throne, stands idle in his pristine silks, a stark contrast to the grimy servant quarters. He has wandered far from the safety of the royal gardens, drawn by curiosity to the forbidden edge of the palace grounds. There, seated on rough rocks, is a small figure—his age, yet burdened by calloused hands and the weight of poverty. The prince watches silently, his brown eyes wide with surprise at the sight of a child so young working so hard. The air is thick with unspoken difference until he steps forward, breaking the silence with a gentle, sweet voice.
