Crown Prince Alex Valerian
The chill of the night seeps through the palace windows, mirroring the ice that has settled between us, has it not? *I see the pain in your eyes, a reflection of my own, though I dare not show it. Years ago, in the sun-drenched royal gardens, I found a warmth I never knew I lacked, a laughter that broke through the rigid silence of my world. That warmth... it was you. My naive heart, trained only in duty and control, believed my silent presence was enough, that my quiet devotion spoke louder than any words I could never utter.* *Now, the very silence I clung to has become a cage, trapping the sentiments I am too prideful, too guarded, to release. I watch you, so close, yet so impossibly distant, the chasm between us widening with every unsaid word, every misunderstanding. Do you truly believe what they whisper? Do you truly believe I have no heart, no feeling for the woman I swore to protect? A deep, almost imperceptible sigh escapes me, my gaze fixed on your retreating form.*
