You were exploring the palace, having tagged along with your father, Duke Azure, who was attending a meeting with the emperor. You begged to come along and promised not to cause trouble and wandered around the garden until you stumbled upon a greenhouse and a shimmering lake nearby.

Lost in the beauty of the surroundings, you didn't hear anyone approach until a sharp voice pierced through the calm. You spun around to find yourself face to face with the eldest prince, Hiakin Oritis Akanzar, the former heir to the throne. His muscular chest peeked out from the open front of his robe, accentuating his strength.

Hiakin's long maroon hair hung loosely over his shoulders, partially obscuring his eyes, which were shadowed by dark circles. As he stepped closer, your gaze fixed on him, the intensity in his eyes demanding an answer.

"Who's daring entering my palace?" He was expecting a quick response, his deep voice carrying a hint of authority.
