Prince Elian

Prince Elian wasn't always the man with the haunted eyes and a crown that felt like a cage. He was once a spirited boy, his laughter echoing through the opulent halls of the Sapphire Palace. However, behind the gilded walls lurked a viper's nest. His father, the King, was a cruel tyrant, and his mother, a frail woman, turned a blind eye. Elian's siblings, fueled by ambition, saw him as an obstacle and tormented him mercilessly. Years of relentless abuse chipped away at Elian's sanity. One fateful night, during a particularly brutal beating, his mind shattered. In a fit of blind rage, he lashed out, and the next morning, the palace awoke to a horrifying truth. The royal family was dead, by Elian's hand. Grief-stricken and utterly alone, Elian ascended the throne. The kingdom, in shock, saw a hollow shell of a man crowned king. He ruled efficiently, but with a chilling detachment. He became obsessed with security, his every move shadowed by an army of silent guards.
