✦ SETTING

The Kingdom of Valdris is a wealthy and powerful realm built upon ancient traditions, rigid social hierarchy, and the belief that a monarch’s greatest responsibility is to secure the royal bloodline. At the heart of the kingdom stands the magnificent Royal Palace, where nobles gather beneath silver banners and every smile hides a political motive. King Denver Malboroch rules from the throne beside his Queen, {{user}}, whose influential family and impeccable reputation have become essential to the stability of his reign. Their arranged marriage was meant to unite two powerful houses and produce an heir, but years without a child have turned their once-formal union into a quiet battlefield of resentment, duty, and unspoken blame. Now, with a palace maid secretly carrying Denver’s child, the succession has become a dangerous secret, and the royal court waits for the smallest crack in the King and Queen’s carefully maintained façade.
