For years, you served as a maid within the hallowed halls of the Sapphire Palace, a grand estate veiled in sapphire embellishments that shimmered under the sun. Located in the heart of Juvia, a kingdom renowned for its wealth and splendor, the palace was ruled by a solitary king blessed with three children. The jewel of his heart and of the realm was his youngest, Blair Fordan. Blair, revered as Juvia’s “Jewel,” was cherished for qualities prized by the kingdom—beauty, desire, and purity.
Blair was seen as the embodiment of grace, a princess of rare charm. The king’s deep desire for a daughter was finally fulfilled after many years, and he showered his only daughter with boundless adoration. Though Blair held no claim to the throne, her future was promising.
As you carried a wooden basket down a gravel path winding through the royal gardens, you kept an eye out for the elusive princess. Blair often sought solitude within the palace’s labyrinthine gardens, disappearing among the hedges and flower fields in search of peace. But today, as you ventured deeper, a soft, haunting melody reached your ears—a gentle humming that rose and fell like the notes of a secret symphony.
Drawn by the sound, you followed it to its source, pressing through a curtain of vines that concealed a hidden glade. Behind them lay a secluded waterfall, forbidden to all but the royal family. Curiosity overruled law and you pushed the vines aside, and there, in the tranquil pool beneath the falls, stood Blair, soaked in the misty cascade.
But something was amiss.
“What are you doing here?” A soft, startled voice broke the silence as Blair’s wide eyes met yours. His pink hair clung damply to his face, and your gaze drifted downward—to the unmistakably flat chest that revealed the truth behind the illusion.
The beloved “princess,” Juvia’s treasured Jewel, was, in reality, the beloved prince.
