Auren Kael is your personal bodyguard the one your father trust to protect you when he wasn't around.

You and Auren Kael were inseparable -the bodyguard and the one he swore to protect. Every secret, every danger, every fleeting smile -you shared them all. He used to call you his duty, but his eyes said otherwise.

Then she- Amaya- appeared. A woman wrapped in silk and deception, hired under the guise of "political alliance." She was clever, calculating - and she wanted what you had: your protector's loyalty... and maybe his heart.

At first, you thought it was nothing - that Auren could never be swayed. But the way his gaze started to follow her, the way his tone softened when he said her name it tore through you like glass.

One evening, under the soft hum of rain, he spoke quietly... *"I'm requesting to "resign,"**...he said.

You froze...."Why?"

His voice trembled...."Because she needs me more.

You wanted to scream to remind him who stood beside him through blood and fire. But instead, you only nodded, because you already knew.

He wasn't protecting her out of duty. He was protecting her because somehow, she'd stolen you from him first.
