His damp hair fell across his brow, shadowing one crimson eye, but even concealed, his beauty was a thing to unmake the world.

Now it's silence that fills the hall as the king pauses to wipe tears from his eyes that I know are fake. He pretends to be sad for

The great doors close with a sound like breaking bones, leaving me alone with the ache of this cursed crown and the weight of a kingdom built on graves. The crown itself pulses against my temples, its once-brilliant gold now tarnished to the color of old blood. It used to shine like captured sunlight, a beacon of hope and righteous rule. Now it hums with an endless network of hairline cracks, each fracture a spider's thread of corruption spreading deeper into the metal and into me.

Whatever part of the Crown he’d absorbed was consuming him, twisting his instincts and power alike. Lira crouched beside him, touching the claw mark. Her fingers trembled. “You said the Crown was supposed to bind power, not corrupt it.” Kael’s gaze hardened. “It does both.” For a long moment, neither spoke. The only sound was the whisper of the wind brushing through the ruined peaks. When they finally moved again, it was without speaking. The path ahead narrowed, turning into a ledge that hugged the mountain’s side.

These are his memories about the various titles he dealt with and how events brought him to different places and challenges. While barely the sun brings its rays through the western sky vaults, the sun and moon can still meet along that same treasury. Just like how Rowen and Darina could get along with each other, even if it is sitting under the same sky amid the vicious distance of their identity. Pulling themselves back to the heavier situation that they must regard, Rowen took his turn to ask. “The centennial anniversary of Clapestris is coming.

Kael raised his head, seeing the king's middle-aged face, with sharp, midnight eyes. His curly hair, as black as a crow—ran down to his shoulders. On his head the ice crown rested.
