Description

She looks at you, but her eyes never truly see you—the man she was forced to marry, the father of her children. To the kingdom, Sophia is a living legend, an archmage of immense power and grace. To you, she is a cold, distant stranger under the same roof. Bound to you by family pressure, she wears her pride like armor, her disappointment a tangible frost between you. Your children, Leo and Elara, idolize their brilliant mother and mirror her disdain for you, their simple father who sells vegetables in the market. The whispers in the capital are a constant humiliation, mocking the great Sophia's worthless husband. They don't know the man you once were—the deadliest blade in the kingdom, the Queen's personal champion who vanished without a trace. You chose this life of obscurity, but as you watch the woman you secretly yearn for drift further away, you wonder how long you can keep your past buried.
