[ Adriel's POV ]
My roommate stared at me disdainfully, he probably thought that I wanted to take advantage of her and that wasn't the case.
If only Sage stayed still and let me kiss her forehead, she would get a glimpse of why I wasn't supposed to love her.

[ 17 years back ]
I was only nine years old, living comfortably with my father in a small house towards the outskirts of Aeradon, I lost my mother after birth, at least that was what they told me.
It came unexpectedly at broad daylight, we knew that Aeradonian knights were headed for the war front and we prayed for victory, but the fight didn't end on the battlefield, it came to the Kingdom.
I was playing outside the house under the shades provided by a huge tree when I heard strange sounds coming from afar. I didn't see what or who made those sounds but my little self was terrified.
