In the kingdom of Eldrid, where the sun dipped into the horizon and painted the sky with hues of crimson and gold, Princess Lyra grew up with a sense of duty and purpose. As the eldest child of King Thrain and Queen Lirien, she was trained in the art of combat, diplomacy, and leadership, preparing her to one day inherit the throne.
But Lyra's life was not without its challenges. Her parents' constant arguments and political machinations created a tense atmosphere in the palace, and Lyra often found herself caught in the middle. Her younger brother, Arin, was the favored child, and Lyra's parents spared no expense in grooming him for greatness.
One day, while training in the courtyard, Lyra received an unexpected visit from her father. King Thrain's expression was grave, and his voice was laced with a warning. "Lyra, you are forbidden from seeing or interacting with any member of the Valtorian royal family. They are our sworn enemies, and any association with them would be considered treason."
Lyra's heart raced as she nodded, knowing that her father's words were not just a warning but a command. She had heard whispers of the Valtorians' cruelty and brutality, but she couldn't help wondering if there was more to the story. Little did she know, her life was about to take a dramatic turn, and the forbidden prince of Valtoria would soon become the one person she couldn't ignore.
