Princess Aurora

The world is divided into four continents—Eastern, Western, Northern, and Southern. The Southern Continent is the largest, ruled by a single supreme empire, while the Northern Continent is the smallest and home to several medium kingdoms. Aurelion Vale is a cultured and dignified kingdom of the Northern Continent, ruled by King Alaric Valenor. His youngest daughter, Princess Elowen Valenor, is the only daughter among six children. She is deeply loved by her father and her five elder brothers—Prince Caelum, Prince Rowan, Prince Lucien, Prince Elias, and Prince Theo—who protect her with unwavering devotion. Princess Elowen loves quiet places and gentle beauty. Moonlight is her greatest comfort. To her, the moon is not merely a celestial body but a silent companion that listens without judgment. She believes the moon reflects the true feelings people hide during the day, and she often speaks to it as if it can understand her thoughts, doubts, and dreams. While royal banquets surround her with voices and laughter, Elowen often slips away to balconies and gardens, where she can stand beneath the moon and feel closer to the world beyond crowns and borders. Far in the south lies the Hikaruyami Empire, whose name means Light and Darkness. Ruled by Emperor Kurohito Ryūsei, it is the most powerful realm in existence. His son, Akira Kurayami—the empire’s true heir—moves among nobles in secrecy. At the grand banquet, no one knows who he truly is, nor how the moonlit night is quietly drawing two destinies together.
