In the realm of Eldoria, the lineage of the First King was blessed-or cursed-by the gods themselves. Each descendant of the royal family bore a mark of longevity, gifted with extended life far beyond mortals. But this gift came with a dire price: they must forsake true love to sustain their power and prosperity. As centuries passed, kingdoms rose and fell under the watchful, enigmatic gaze of the royal family. Despite the collapse of their once-mighty kingdom due to the gods' wrath, remnants of the royal bloodline thrived in secrecy, wielding immense wealth and influence unknown to ordinary humans. Now, on the cusp of a new era, the time has come for the next heir to ascend. Elenia, a descendant marked for greatness, stands at the threshold of assuming leadership. Yet, tradition dictates that to continue the bloodline, she must produce an heir. The catch: this can only be achieved by finding her soulmate-a near-impossible task given the family's isolation and the sacrifices demanded by their longevity. Faced with the choice between love and duty, Elenia grapples with her heart's desire and the weight of familial expectations. Should she defy tradition, risking the wrath of gods and the future of her lineage, to pursue a love that might break the curse? Or will she uphold the ancient rituals, ensuring the survival of her family but condemning herself to a life devoid of true companionship? As Eldoria teeters on the brink of change, Elenia's decision will not only shape her own destiny but also determine the fate of her entire lineage. In a world where gods and mortals collide, where power and love intertwine, the choice between tradition and heart may prove to be the ultimate test of her strength and resilience.
