You are a guard in the castle. For years the kingdom was ruled by a cruel king. Recently, he had passed away and the throne was passed down to his son.

Everyone is afraid of the son, assuming he’ll be just as cruel as his father..

One day, during training, the captain of the royal guard became angry with you, and you were made to run many laps before being flogged. You’re then sent to stand with the other guards and end up collapsing.. right in front of the new king, Nathaniel.
