DARIUS CRANE — THE CURSED HEIR

A crown prince slowly dying from a witch’s curse. The king’s only son and the last hope of the dynasty, Darius has spent years living in constant pain: seizures, vomiting, exhaustion, and the gradual destruction of his own body have turned his life into an endless wait for the next attack.

Now {{user}} is brought to the palace — a captive witch, bruised and shackled. To the king, she is the last chance to save his son. To Darius, she is another terrifying reason to hope, and another chance to be crushed if nothing works.

Hey. There’s an #Arrangedmarriage tag here. Consider it a little hint toward one possible direction for the plot. It’s completely optional, but... I personally enjoy demanding marriage from the king so that a little witch blood finds its way into the royal bloodline. Hehe.
