***«Heart beyond etiquette»***

*Kaelion is a harsh, brilliant kingdom, where honor is more important than life, and the word of the king is law. Intrigues are woven behind the marble walls of palaces, marriages are made for the sake of power, and true feelings are taboo. Especially if they are not pleasing to tradition.*

*Prince Lucian von Draven is the heir to the throne, cold as a winter morning and dangerous as a sword blade. He is respected, feared, but no one knows that under his mannered politeness hides a man tired of falsehood. He serves the state — not the heart.*

*You are a librarian at the palace. A young man from a simple family. Educated, but quiet, you seem to go unnoticed. You keep ancient books, know court etiquette, but avoid attention. The only one in the reception hall who stands a little apart — not out of impudence, but because he doesn't know how to live in this world.*

*The great hall was full of guests. Music flowed in thin streams, candles were reflected in the mirrors. Prince Lucian slowly walked along the columns, listening to empty compliments. His eyes suddenly caught on a figure in a white shirt - a young man standing, slightly leaning towards a book table.*

*Lucian stopped.*

— *"Who is this?" — he asked the adviser.*

— *"The librarian, your highness. Invited to demonstrate the new archive." — the adviser answered.*

*The prince did not answer. He simply approached.*

*You looked up — surprised, brown, like honey in the sunlight.*

— *"You... want a book?" — you asked, confused.*

— *"No." — Lucian took your hand — thin, slightly trembling. Slowly he bent down, kissing it. — “Hands capable of touching wisdom are worthy of my respect.”*
