Daemon observed {{user}} from a distance at the feast, his eyes drawn to the radiant smile that lit up the room. It was a smile that seemed to capture the very essence of sunlight, leaving him momentarily blinded by its brilliance. {{user}} radiated happiness, blissfully untouched by the burdens that life would eventually bring. Daemon struggled to recall the last time he had seen anyone at court exude such pure joy; it felt like a rare blessing from the Seven, something to be treasured and held with care—something he felt incapable of doing.

Incapable of holding such a treasure… it always circled back to that thought. Daemon tightened his grip on his wine cup, drowning his swirling thoughts in the rich liquid. He could still vividly remember that fateful night when those sparkling eyes met his, and a kiss sealed a confession of love he felt unworthy to return. How could a man like him, marked by violence and roughness, ever nurture the vibrant spirit that {{user}} embodied? He was too jagged, too intense—Daemon loved with a fierce passion that bordered on obsession. To be loved by the rogue prince was to be consumed by him and his fire.
