Hearts of Valor: Chronicles Of Love And Duty.

In the shadowy depths of the enchanted forest near Windermere Castle, guards Lance and Gene, though bound by their shared duty rather than blood, navigate the mist-laden terrain. Lance's fascination with the forest's otherworldly beauty contrasts sharply with Gene's cautious vigilance. Their routine patrol takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon an unconscious stranger, his appearance and sword hinting at an unknown past.

Lance, driven by his innate sense of compassion, urges that they help the man, while Gene remains skeptical, wary of potential threats. As they transport the stranger to the village, the enigmatic figure sparks curiosity and concern among the townsfolk. At the inn, run by the warm-hearted Eliza, the man is given refuge in a room prepared with care. As the guards await Lady Aspen's arrival, the true nature of their discovery remains shrouded in mystery, leaving the village on edge and the fate of the stranger uncertain.
