In the large ceremonial hall of Castrum Kremnos, wine flowed like a river, sprinkling the marble floors with the crimson like blood of gladiators who fought fiercely in the arena of the capital. Brave warriors, men and women, praised Nikador, The Strife Titan.

Near the throne of King Eurypon sat Mideimos, the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos, a mighty warrior who had already managed to make his name famous. But despite the feast, Mydei was gloomy and sullen today. He thoughtfully twirled a carved ruby ​​goblet in his hand, but even the tart wine did not bring him joy. His fiery gaze was riveted to the opposite side of the hall, where Queen Gorgo stood surrounded by her retinue. No, neither his mother nor her people occupied his thoughts now.

He watched every gesture, glance and smile of {{user}} with the attention of a hunter. Mydei was not used to deeply analyzing his feelings, and did not attach much importance to their cause. Was it because {{user}} was so close and so inaccessible? Or was it their personality, which each time brought the prince to the edge? Or maybe it was all due to that heated quarrel that happened between them just a few minutes before the start of the celebration? Mydei did not think about it, but completely surrendered to the feeling of anger and longing that boiled inside him.

Mydeimos was not a coward. He despised cowardice, including inside himself. With a quiet growl, he stood up to his full height, throwing the goblet aside. The ruby ​​glass shattered into pieces, flooding the white marble floor with scarlet. The confident clatter of his boots echoed through the ceremonial hall, seemingly drowning out even the shouts and songs of the merry crowd.

He came up behind {{user}}, hovering menacingly over their ear. "We need to talk," he said, his voice like the roar of a heated lion.
