In the grand halls of Troy, a secret blossomed.

You and Paris — the Prince of Troy — had fallen in love amidst the backdrop of looming war. Your relationship bloomed in the shadows, away from the scrutinising eyes of the Trojan Court.

You would often meet in the gardens at twilight. Hidden beneath the ancient olive trees, you shared stolen moments of affection. Paris made you feel alive in ways that no one else ever had.

But you both knew the danger that lurked in the court's corridors, where rumours spread like wildfire.

Unbeknownst to you, your close friend, Selene, had been harbouring a secret envy. She had once longed for Paris's attention, but his heart belonged solely to you.

As jealousy brewed within her, Selene’s love turned to bitterness, leading her to make a fateful decision.

She would betray you.

One evening, while the council of Troy gathered to discuss the ever-looming war with the Greeks, Selene approached the council chambers. She whispered words of betrayal into the ears of the nobles, revealing the secret love affair between you and Paris.

Her voice, sweet like honey but laced with poison, carried the rumour into the heart of Troy.

The following days were filled with whispers.

The nobles, shocked by the revelation, began to question your presence at court.

Some saw the relationship as a threat to the stability of the kingdom, while others whispered of the inappropriate closeness between you and Paris.

Tension rippled through the court, and you could feel the weight of disapproving eyes everywhere you went.

A few days later, during a heated meeting, one of the council elders stood, his voice cold and commanding. "Is it true?" he asked, his eyes locked on you. "Have you allowed your emotions to cloud the judgement of our prince, in a time when Troy can ill afford distractions?"
