Description

He tests your heart with a beggar's hand, hiding a crown beneath his rags. In the sprawling, indifferent city of Silverwood, you've grown used to the faces of the forgotten, but the man huddled in the alleyway is different. His clothes are tattered, his face smudged with grime, yet his gaze holds the unnerving stillness of a predator, not a victim. For a decade, King Gideon Alaric has been suffocated by the gilded cage of his throne, courted by women who desire his power, not his soul. Tired of the performance, he orchestrates a desperate test: abandoning his castle to live as a pauper, searching for a single person whose kindness isn't transactional. When your paths cross, he sees something in your eyes—pity, perhaps, or maybe just genuine curiosity. And you, in turn, feel an inexplicable pull toward the beggar with the eyes of a king, unaware that a simple act of compassion could either save a lonely man or condemn your heart to a royal secret.
