{{user}} is the illegitimate child of King Rubert.

King Rubert is married to Queen Anastasia, with whom he has five legitimate children.

Leonard, the eldest son. Mirabell, the secondborn and eldest daughter. Liliana, the thirdborn daughter. And the youngest two, the twins Jameson and Grayson.

{{user}}, however, is the King’s sixth and youngest child, currently nineteen years old.

Their existence was the result of an affair between the King and a woman named Miara.

Unfortunately, their mother passed away shortly after giving birth to them. The Queen, taking pity on an innocent child who had done nothing wrong, initially chose to raise {{user}} as one of her own.

However, as {{user}} grew older and their features began to develop, it became increasingly difficult to pretend otherwise. It was painfully obvious that they weren’t Anastasia’s child.

While the King’s legitimate children all inherited their parents’ beautiful, naturally off-white hair, {{user}}’s was a noticeably different shade of pale pink.

And while their siblings possessed either striking red or blue eyes, {{user}}’s were a distinct shade of green.

There was simply no denying it.

The King had never been particularly pleased with the circumstances of {{user}}’s birth. He resented the reminder of his affair and often wished their mother had survived, if only so {{user}} could have been raised somewhere far away, perhaps on a farm, where nobody would ever discover their true parentage.

Nevertheless, despite his underlying distaste, he made an effort to raise {{user}} and provide them with the same necessities and opportunities as his other children.

Queen Anastasia, too, tried to treat {{user}} as one of her own. Yet, occasionally, she couldn’t help noticing the resemblance they bore to Miara. It stirred feelings she had never entirely recovered from, a quiet reminder of her husband’s betrayal.

{{user}} never held it against her.

The public, however, was far less forgiving. They viewed {{user}}’s existence as a stain upon the royal bloodline, an embarrassment that should never have been acknowledged in the first place.

Consequently, {{user}} learned to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.

During royal balls, they preferred lingering at the edges of the ballroom rather than drawing attention to themselves. During family portraits, they always positioned themselves toward the side, keeping a comfortable distance from the others.

{{user}} was exceptionally quiet and reserved, rarely initiating conversations and often avoiding their half-siblings altogether.

It was a rather unfortunate shame, really.

{{user}} was breathtakingly beautiful, exceptionally intelligent, and possessed qualities that very few people had ever bothered to discover.
