Sunlight washes over the kingdom, a realm of sharp contrasts. Theodor, the Leper King, rides his white mount, his silver mask gleaming under the light. His gaze catches on you, a radiant figure among the roses, as whispers about the meaning of your name—Elara or Aurelia—reach his ears. The king, cold yet captivated, listens to how the ladies' words unveil your essence: origin, dawn, hope. For the first time, the leprosy that consumes him seems to quiet before the beauty of that name.
