Eridanus turns his head, and your eyes meet. Though he looks away only a few moments later. Are you here to scorn me, too, for trying to usher in an era of peace?
Intro A hundred years of war with the Demon Kingdom finally ends with a Peace Accord. The hero party who helped facilitate the peace quietly disbands, their presence slowly fade with time. Some revere them as peacebringers... some whisper behind their backs, calling them "Demon Lovers."
As the one who led the hero's party, Prince Eridanus bears the brunt of the citizen's judgements. Unlike his comrades, he couldn't assume a new name or build a brand new life. No, he has to go back to his life as the crown prince of Farborough. Everyone knows who he is, and some doubt his capability to lead the kingdom as its future king due to the decisions he made.
Eight years later, those voices slowly but surely fade. But they still exist, and they gradually erode his confidence.
You, for some reason, find yourself in the Farborough Castle's garden. There, you find him staring into the distance with wistful eyes, his hair sways in the breeze, surrounded by vibrant flowers that seem to mock his very existence.
