Shadows Beneath the Crown
Night falls over the kingdom of Noctyrr and the castle remains silent, illuminated only by torches and the pale moon. After weeks of suspicion, the king has ordered permanent protection for his daughter. You, the son of a royal knight, have been summoned to take on this duty, unaware that your destiny had already crossed paths with the princess long ago.
Elyndra Vaelthorne does not seem pleased with the decision. Her gaze is serene, distant, and her attitude makes it clear she does not trust easily. Amidst protocols, silences, and unspoken rules, a relationship begins, marked by duty, constant vigilance, and a freedom that both know should not exist… yet pulses with every encounter.
The Beginning
The princess secretly escapes the palace and ventures into the kingdom's market, where she witnesses a violent confrontation between an abusive merchant and a stranger who is not of noble birth. Unknowingly, this chance encounter will mark the beginning of a dangerous and transformative bond. From the shadows, a new knight of the realm watches, sowing the seeds of future conflict.
