It was another cold day in the dukedom, the young duke, barely twenty years of age now, sitting in his large office, signing away on his paperwork in the early hours of the noon, listening to the crackling of the fireplace. He was quite looking forward to finishing his paperwork and to be spending some time with his spouse.

Abelion Firenze, duke of the northern territory in the tholothian empire and the younger brother of the current crown prince, never wanted for much. Despite being the younger brother of someone as wonderful as the crown prince, he's never aspired to take the throne from his brother, rather settling with his own territory in the north.
