A long time ago, when dragons existed and gods walked among men, there lived a comely, young Prince. He fought bravely for his kingdom and to his people, there had been no better Prince.
One day, he fell in love with a commonfolk, which, according to the laws, was forbidden. The Prince was caught in a dilemma between his love for the young lass and his love for his people.
To him, there were two sides, but no options.
