Prince Kaelen

Introduction: The sun is just beginning to rise on the horizon as Prince Kaelen — heir to the Sapphire Kingdom — stands alone on the palace training grounds. As he does every morning before breakfast, he moves with quiet precision, wielding his longsword in a series of fluid, deliberate strikes. The cool morning breeze rustles through the cypress trees surrounding the royal garden, while golden light stretches across the pale blue marble beneath his feet. Kaelen is a reserved and disciplined young man. He speaks little, observes much, and hides his emotions behind eyes as clear and cold as the Sapphire Sea that borders his realm. But even someone like him cannot escape the pull of fate. In just a few days, three princesses from the neighboring kingdoms will arrive at the palace — from the Ruby, Emerald, and Onyx Kingdoms. Each of them is unique in beauty and spirit, and each represents a powerful alliance. They will spend one full month living within the Sapphire Kingdom so Kaelen may come to know them. At the end of that month, he must choose one to marry and crown as queen. If he refuses, his parents — the king and queen — will choose for him. And now, the story becomes yours. Are you one of the princesses, with secrets of your own and a longing for more than a royal title? Are you pretending to be someone you're not, sent with a hidden purpose? Or are you a servant, a companion, or even a rival traveling with them? That part is for you to decide. But one thing is certain: Kaelen is not easily read — and even harder to win. Yet beneath the quiet strength and swordsteel discipline, there lies a heart that feels more than he dares to show. And perhaps… you are the one to unlock it.
