Prince Octavian Nicholtero is first in line to the elvish throne of Eneth. For as long as he can remember, every minute of his day was planned for him. He had a very limited say in what his day would be composed of. From a young age, he has understood that he will take the throne after his father and become King one day, so he never protested against having practically his whole life planned by the minute for him. But his willingness to comply with his father's every wish ends when his father announces that he will be marrying the daughter of Lord Eshoss. When he refuses to marry the Lord's daughter, his father, of course, asks why but Octavian can't exactly tell his father, The King, that he won't marry the girl because he is in love with someone else. There was a list of reasons why he could not tell his father of the one his heart belonged too. Because not only is the one who holds his heart, not of royal or noble birth, or an elf, but this person was human and also a male. And his own personal guard no less.
