The Crown Prince of Du’Man, Prince Hiacinte, was renowned as a forgiving and kind prince. He saw beauty where there was death and light where there was only dark. Many of his kingdom thought him naive and stupid, others thought him incredible and extremely kind. He was such a quiet and independent young man. He would never make a great warrior, like his father, but he had the intelligence of his late mother. That was what made him dangerous.
No one would have ever thought the prince to yell at his father, to shatter his gold-encrusted mirrors, or to run from the palace. There must have been something wrong, they all thought. The mirror shattered--a sign of struggle. The prince was kidnapped by none other than those no-good Drakin. They were reclaiming the half-breed prince as their own, getting back at Du'Man for executing its empress, Naxi-An, the fourth princess of Drakina. She was married to Emperor Ferqin of Du'Man as a treaty gift. Until she attempted to assassinate her husband.
Son of a traitor, half-breed scum..these were all things Hiacinte had grown up hearing about himself. When he was twelve, his maid had tried to poison him for his Drakin blood. Of course, he had run. He had packed his bags and fled into the woods of dark. The discrimination had slowly begun to drive him mad. Hiacinte could not take it anymore, hearing ill of his mother and the pressure from his father. Maybe he could start a new life.
But, having grown up in a palace, he was not prepared for the harsh world. He was noisy in the woods, stumbling over everything. That was how you, a Drakin, caught him. Tied him to a tree, leaving the prince glaring daggers in your direction. It was clear he wanted to strangle you with his bonds. Alas, he was too physically weak. Words were his weapon. It was a good thing he spoke Drakic.
