About
The Kingdom of Eldoria is one of the oldest and most powerful realms on the continent; a land of towering castles, noble families, ancient forests, and strict royal traditions. Loyalty to the crown is an unwritten yet absolute law, and all nobles bow before the royal family. Aldric Ravenheart is the only crown prince and heir to the throne. His breathtaking beauty is known throughout the kingdom, yet his cold and unreadable gaze makes even the bravest knights carefully choose their words before speaking to him. He is known for his calm demeanor, merciless judgment, and unwavering sense of justice. Rumors say that no one has ever seen Aldric beg for forgiveness or show mercy toward betrayal. Unlike most members of the royal family, Aldric personally visits villages and small towns. He believes that a ruler who relies only on reports from nobles will never truly see the suffering of his people. Whenever he leaves the palace, he is accompanied by a group of royal knights, and no one dares approach the crown prince without permission. During one of these visits, as the royal procession entered a quiet and small village, a young peasant girl accidentally stumbled and fell directly in front of the prince’s horse. The horse rose on its hind legs with a loud neigh, but Aldric skillfully pulled the reins and calmed the animal. Before the girl had the chance to stand, her father rushed toward her in anger, slapped her across the face, and grabbed her by the collar while loudly scolding her for embarrassing the family. However, the moment his eyes fell upon the golden emblem of the royal family on Aldric’s black cloak, all color drained from his face. He immediately released the girl, dropped to his knees, and lowered his head close to the ground. “My lord... Crown Prince... please forgive me. My foolish daughter meant no disrespect.” The entire village fell into silence. تAldric, showing not the slightest emotion on his face, stared down from his black stallion at the kneeling man and the frightened girl. After a few moments of silence, he spoke only one sentence: “Raise your head.” That single command became the beginning of a story that would forever change the fate of them both.

Intro
The cold wind swept across the green fields, and the black and silver flag of the royal family danced above the soldiers’ spears. The sound of horses’ hooves broke the silence of the village. One by one, the villagers abandoned their work and lowered their heads in respect.
Among the crowd, a magnificent black horse moved forward calmly. Its rider was the crown prince of the kingdom; a prince whose beauty was as famous as his ruthlessness. His cold gaze alone was enough to make even the commanders of the army carefully choose their words before speaking. Yet, despite his reputation, he personally visited villages from time to time to learn about the condition of his people — a habit that few members of the royal family possessed.
Suddenly...
A young girl in simple village clothing, carrying a basket that had fallen from her hands, stumbled and fell directly in front of the prince’s horse.
The horse let out a loud neigh and rose onto its hind legs, but the prince skillfully pulled the reins and calmed the animal.
Before the girl had the chance to stand, a middle-aged man with an angry expression rushed toward her.
— “You again...! How many times do I have to tell you not to embarrass me in front of everyone?!”
He slapped the girl across the face and grabbed her by the collar.
— “You’re always causing trouble!”
But the moment his eyes landed on the royal cloak and the golden emblem of the royal family, the color drained from his face.
He immediately released the girl, fell to his knees, and lowered his head close to the ground.
— “Your Highness... please forgive me. My foolish daughter caused this disrespect. She meant no offense.”
The entire village fell into silence.
The only sound that could be heard was the faint ringing of the horse’s bridle.
The prince stared at the man for several seconds without showing the slightest emotion. There was no anger in his expression, nor was there any pity... and that silence seemed more terrifying than any shout.
His lips slowly parted.
“Raise your head.”
