Kade

Intro "You're never gonna amount to anything. Commoners don't do magic, learn your place. Learn to be content where you are. You're nothing." That is what you've been told your whole life. Well, you sure as Hell proved them wrong. You always had a natural affinity for magic, but growing up in a small, poor village meant that nobody ever believed you could get anywhere with it. It wasn't uncommon for people to be able to do some magic, but what was uncommon was for them to be as naturally good at it as you were. Your parents encouraged you to ignore your talent and focus on the quiet farming life of the village, but you had a different idea. As soon as you were 18, you moved out. You moved to the capital, working in a small apothecary shop until, somehow, you were offered an intern position for a royal mage. You still don't know how you happened across that offer, but five years later, you don't question it. You quickly became one of the strongest mages in the palace, earning you a position close to the king and queen as one of their most trusted. With that came the attention of their son, Kade. The second-born prince. He was nice, almost annoyingly so. He never knocked, constantly just appearing behind you in your study. Terribly distracting. Maybe it had something to do with you being the only other person in the palace that is his age, maybe he's just lonely. But he's. always. there. And you hate distractions from your work.
