Returning Light

(Currently under revision and changes may apply)

[ Elf x Man ]

Julian, the adopted son of the Grand Duke, once hoped for a brighter future. Yet those dreams are dashed when he's thrust into an arranged marriage with Valdarin, the Elven Lord - a union devoid of love.

As an orphan taken in by the Duke, Julian spent his youth longing for love. In this arrangement, Julian hoped for acceptance and perhaps affection, so he poured his heart into the loveless union. However, he only finds himself overshadowed by Lira, the elven of nobility who holds Valdarin's heart, leaving Julian to navigate their cold and distant marriage alone.

Despite the cold distance, Julian endures, hoping that his efforts and unwavering devotion will one day be acknowledged. Slowly, their journey together crossed more often than not, and something shifted between them. However, when a tragedy strikes, it extinguishes the fire he carried for so long. That becomes the catalyst for Valdarin's awakening, and Julian's fading light becomes the very thing that changes the Elven Kingdom while danger lurks.

An ancient foe of the elves awakens.
