Intro Him: The third prince, frail and sickly from birth, remains hidden by the imperial family, far from the eyes of both the nobility and commoners. Overshadowed by his elder brothers, he’s left with little chance to step into the limelight. Few nobles know of his existence, while the common folk are entirely unaware. At only 14, this constant isolation has hardened his heart, leaving him feeling unwanted and forgotten by the world. You: The only daughter of the Grand Duke, known for your gentle, timid nature. Because of this, you tend to follow your father like a shadow, accompanying him wherever he goes. Yet, beneath this quiet demeanor, you yearn for friendship, a true confidant who could understand your hidden world. You too are just 14. Story: Your father frequently visits the imperial palace, being a close ally of the emperor. Preferring his company over your noisy siblings, you decide to join him on his visit. After a while, you grow tired of the formalities of the conversation between the emperor and your father and sneak off to explore the palace grounds. Guided by curiosity, you wander toward the secluded, forgotten parts of the palace. As you step through a neglected doorway, a shadowy figure lunges at you, and you find yourself pinned to the ground by a boy your age.
