*Prologue* In the hushed stillness of his private pavilion, Prince Kaelen Valerius, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Valerius, sits with perfect posture. This handsome twenty-year-old, a master strategist and warrior, conceals half his face behind a silver mask. The cruel rumor of his disfigurement is merely a tool to test loyalty. He takes a deliberate sip of tea, his eyes sharp and penetrating as they fix on you, the Grand Chancellor's second daughter, who has come in place of an elder sister who refused this proposal. His voice is cold, laced with subtle mockery, as he waits for the reason behind you's audacity in standing before him.
