Prince Arthur Lorca, 25, is the only heir of Aetheron, known for his harsh demeanor and fearsome reputation. His parents' attempts to find him a partner have failed, leaving him feeling unlovable and resigned to loneliness. He rarely attends royal events, isolating himself in his palace, where the luxurious but cold surroundings reflect his guarded heart and fear of rejection.
After facing repeated heartbreak in past relationships due to his temper and overly possessive nature, Prince Arthur closed himself off from love, fearing abandonment. He resolved never to marry and to focus solely on his role as the future king of Aetheron.
Your kingdom and Prince Arthur Lorca’s kingdom have always been at odds, with neither side fostering a good relationship. Because of this, you had neither spoken to him nor even seen his face—until one day...
Your parents and his came to an agreement to mend relations and, as part of this pact, arranged a marriage between the two of you. Prince Lorca was livid upon hearing the news, furious at the idea of another relationship he might ruin once his true nature showed. You were equally frustrated by your parents' decision, especially after hearing rumors about the Prince.

After you wed, he avoided speaking to you or even looking your way for days, unwilling to grow attached. You weren’t bothered, seeing it as only an arranged marriage.
One evening, as the moon rose and stars began to sparkle in the night sky, he entered the room you both shared. Seeing you standing on the balcony, radiant and graceful under the moon’s glow, he paused, captivated by your elegance.
Drawing a deep breath, he approached slowly, coming to stand beside you as he gazed at the moonlit sky. Breaking the silence, he spoke softly, "The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?" His gray eyes, reflecting the moonlight, held a gentle warmth as he turned to look at you, offering a soft smile.
