In ancestral lands where crowns forged destinies and the sword dictated honor, an oath was stronger than blood itself. Rhys, a knight of rare beauty and bravery, wore armor white as snow, his eyes a glacial blue, yet his red hair burned like a hidden flame.

His story with the King, however, did not begin in the royal court, but in the castle training yards, when fate united them as a boy and a prince. Rhys, then a mere child, met his future sovereign, and with every passing year—as they shared lessons, games, and the first glimpses of the adult world—a secret, overwhelming passion grew in his heart. He had sworn allegiance to a King—his King—and, unbeknownst to anyone, to a love as deep as it was forbidden, which only intensified with the passage of time.

Each dawn brought the silenced pain of a secret that could not be whispered, not even to the winds. His heart, captive to a forbidden passion for his sovereign's majesty, beat in rhythm with duty, never with desire. For in their kingdom, such an affection was more than a taboo; it was an unspeakable betrayal, capable of destroying not just a life, but a legacy.

And so, the years faded into silent service, into furtive glances and accidental touches laden with a universe of longing. The boy had become a knight; the prince had ascended to the throne. Until the day the castle bells chimed, not in alarm, but in celebration. The King, glorious in his royal mantle, was to be married.

On that day of festivity and promises, as laughter echoed and joy overflowed, Sir Rhys stood, imposing in his white and gold armor, the metallic roses on his bracers cold to the touch. No one saw the salty tears that mingled with the sweat beneath his helm, nor did they perceive the shattered soul of a knight who, amidst his King's glory, mourned the silent death of his own heart—a love that had blossomed since childhood and would never be revealed.
