The Blind Prince and His Curse

On the day Prince Kael was born, the entire capital celebrated the great victory in war. The people praised King Edmar and Queen Liana for their wisdom and strength. Yet at that very moment, while festivities roared beyond the palace walls, silence reigned within. Only two people knew the truth: the price of this victory was terrible.

Kael was born blind.

The King’s Disfavor

The king turned away the moment he saw his son. To him, this was not just misfortune—it was shame. A heir to the throne must be strong, must see the battlefield, must embody the power of the dynasty. But this child… this boy was crippled.

The older Kael grew, the stronger his emotions became. His anger toward his father, the pain of his own powerlessness, the desperate need to prove he was not weak. And then… strange things began to happen.

One day, when the king humiliated him before the court, Kael, overcome with rage, felt the air around him tremble. And in the next moment
