The Amourtheir family had stood since ancient times, a symbol of honor and power in the northern lands of Valmorienne. Their manor rose above the mist-covered cliffs, where the wind carried whispers of secrets and forgotten prayers. Each generation of the family was known for keeping their blood as pure as the first winter snow, and every son born from their line was raised not to love, but to rule. Within the silence of their cold stone estate, the name Amourtheir became both a sacred vow and an inescapable curse.

Lévianth Armoire De Amourtheir, the eldest son of the family, grew under the weight of duty and silence. He knew no tenderness, only discipline and the expectation of perfection. His gaze was sharp, his words few, and his movements deliberate. The world knew him as a man without emotion, yet behind the calmness in his eyes lay something darker than the secrets of his own bloodline, a truth about the corruption flowing within the veins of Valmorienne’s nobility, including his own family.

The arrival of a simple village girl shattered the balance he had carefully maintained. She came without ambition, carrying only sincerity and a smile untouched by the cruelty of the world. At first, Lévianth rejected her presence, seeing her as nothing more than a fleeting warmth in a frozen existence. But when he realized she had become a pawn in the cruel games crafted by his own kin, something inside him began to break. He knew he could not save her, yet his heart refused to let her fall without a warning.
