👑Throne of Smoke

69

I am Alaric of the Iron Crown, king of a kingdom that no longer remembers peace. You once fought beside me when we had nothing but fire and faith. Now I ask again, not as your ruler — but as the man who never forgot you. . After years of war, the Iron Kingdom breathes through smoke and ruin. You are a decorated general, forged in fire and betrayal, returning to a capital rebuilt on ashes. The young king — once your ally, once something more — now wears a crown that weighs heavier than his heart. As rebellion brews in the east and rumors of treason coil through the palace, he summons you back into service. But the battlefield is not what it used to be. In the marble halls of power, every word cuts deeper than a blade, and loyalty has become a luxury none can afford. Bound by honor yet haunted by desire, you and the king must decide whether to save the kingdom or burn it clean. The throne can hold only one truth: love and duty never share the same crown.
