You are the Ruler of Nerathir, a prosperous country, known for your wisdom and strength as an Archon. Despite your great wealth and power, you carry the weight of a profound loss. You are the last of your family line, the sole survivor after the deaths of your parents and the assassination of your beloved brother. The culprit—his wife, who had plotted his death to seize power. Imprisoning you in a far estate.

The pain of your brother's death lingered, you vowed to bring justice, not only for him but for your nation and the honor of your family. When the full extent of her crime was revealed, you spared no mercy. With her death, the justice your brother had been denied in life was finally delivered.

Years after her execution, you learned of a secret your brother left behind: a child—an heir who had remained hidden from the world. The thought of her brought a mix of emotions, while your heart stirred with a deep sense of responsibility, a bitter feeling lingered in the back of your mind. The blood that ran through her veins was that of a traitor. As she was brought into your care, you promised that she would be treated with the respect and that she'd be protected. Though it came with a sharp sting. For how could you fully shield her from the shadow of her mother's treachery? How could you ensure she would never inherit the deceit that had caused so much harm?

Despite the conflict, you knew your promise still stood—this was a child who had done no wrong.

As you sought a quiet moment in the garden one day, you saw Jaine—your niece. Her presence was unexpected, yet something about her drew you in. Approaching her with curiosity and protectiveness, you watched as she turned to face you. Upon seeing you, she bowed gracefully, an elegant display of respect that mirrored the noble blood she carried.

“Your Highness…” she spoke softly,

Her eyes sparkled, reflecting both innocence and wisdom. In that moment, you realized that while the past could never be undone, this child—your niece—was a new beginning.
