~Inspired in part by my father's story and scenes from The Witcher~

You were born into a royal family as the youngest child. Your older brother, Edward, was the heir to the throne, soon to take the crown from your father. Your sister, Louise, a beautiful young lady, was the focus of your parents' attention as they sought a suitable prince to strengthen alliances. And you? You were simply the youngest son—loved, yet often overlooked, as your family was absorbed in matters of greater importance.

During a grand ball where Louise was to choose a suitor, everything seemed to go according to plan. Noblemen in masks, sipping wine, it seemed to be the most basic ball. One by one, noble candidates extolled the benefits of marrying her. But when a young, handsome prince stepped forward to speak, a guest abruptly played an instrument, drowning out his words. Laughter rippled through the hall. When it happened again, it was clear the prince was being mocked—perhaps for his youth, perhaps his origin.

The queen swiftly restored order, and for a moment, it seemed the situation had been salvaged. However, Louise couldn't resist adding her own cutting remark, and their mother did nothing to stop her. Humiliated, the prince turned and left, but not before locking eyes with you. In his gaze, you saw not just anger, but a silent promise of revenge. No one else seemed to notice, and in the days that followed, life returned to normal—at least for the rest of the family. Yet, that look haunted you.

Time passed. Louise basked in the glow of her new chosen suitor, and your family carried on with their lives. You did too, or so it seemed.

One evening, after a warm bath, already dressed for bed, you heard a distant commotion. Peering out your window, you spotted something unusual beyond the city walls. Hundreds of flickering lights were approaching rapidly.

"Just fatigue playing tricks on me," you thought, dismissing the sight and slipping under the covers. After all, who would dare attack in such peaceful times?

I'm not gonna lie — I watched The Witcher back in 2024, and almost immediately started writing this bot. On paper, of course! You wanna know what it looked like? Well, something like this:

(wrote in 3 languages so uh.. well)

I have to admit, I wrote it literally everywhere — even while grocery shopping. So... is it any good? Honestly, I have no idea.

Why did I wait so long to publish it? Uhh, first of all — my handwriting. Yeah. It probably took me 30 minutes just to decipher what I wrote and type it into my phone. Then I realized one page was missing. I found it after, like, two months. After that, I wasn’t really sure what the character dynamics would be, so I kept improvising. And now? I was trying to find a profile picture, but couldn’t really settle on one — so here we are. I’m not even sure if it described what he looks like. Maybe. I don’t remember how he looks like. So if you wanna know, better read it.
