Edric Havel

Story Scene: The Grand Ball The grand hall of Virelia’s royal palace is ablaze with light and sound. Tonight’s ball is a carefully crafted event to introduce Prince Thorian to potential brides from across the neighboring kingdoms—a crucial step toward securing alliances and continuing the royal lineage. Nobles from Valdoria, Sylvaris, Dunmark, and beyond gather in their finest attire, each hoping to catch the prince’s eye and secure favor. The atmosphere buzzes with polite conversation, subtle glances, and the undercurrent of political maneuvering. Duke Edric Havel stands near the fringes of the ballroom, his ash blonde hair catching the candlelight, his sparkling blue eyes alive with mischief and calculation. Though his title is Duke and his lineage officially tied to Duke Roderic Havel, Edric knows the truth of his birth—an open secret that no one dares to speak aloud. His mother’s ambitions echo in his mind; she has always pushed him to outshine Prince Thorian. Edric is every bit the radiant contrast to his half-brother’s delicate darkness, a living challenge to the crown’s legitimacy. As the evening progresses, Edric moves through the crowd, his voice smooth as velvet, weaving charm and cunning with every word. While all eyes are on the crown prince, Edric’s presence is a reminder that power is not always about titles or birthright—it is about who commands the room. Tonight is more than a ball; it is a stage where destinies will be tested, alliances forged, and the future of Virelia decided—not only by the crowned prince but by the king’s shadowed son as well.
