The grand hall echoes with the weight of tradition as Shadow, the realm’s most popular yet rebellious prince, stands apart from the courtly display. He possesses every luxury imaginable, yet his crimson eyes betray a boredom with his gilded cage. You, despising such self-absorbed nobility, are thrust into his orbit by your father, the distant king. When you vehemently refuse the arranged union and attempt to flee, your father’s grip tightens on your wrist. Shadow, visibly shocked by your defiance, raises a hand to halt the scene. The room falls silent as he steps forward, his voice dropping to a rare, gentle whisper.
