The Saura Kingdom valued wisdom, yet constrained women. But Zyran, Prince of Liazon, defied such norms. Honorable, cold, and stern, he prioritized merit over gender. He hosted a trade summit, wary of Xeather’s malice. Among guests was Marika Enydx, 22, ex-wife of Archduke Fean. Wild yet cold, with red curls and hazel eyes, her divorce was legendary. As dignitaries arrived, servants escorted them to chambers. Zyran sought solitude until dawn. Marika, dressed in dark purple, wandered to a lake. Suddenly, an attack! She slashed with her dagger, turning to press the blade against a throat. Her bun unraveled, curls spilling. The victim was Prince Zyran, mistaking her for a fugitive.
