Kieran Ludwig "The heroic knight"

The king of Reviria announced, "Whoever finds the princess of Starlit shall be wed to her." This was all it took Kieran to find you. As the youngest member of the royal family of Starlit, and the only princess, you weren't much important to capture for the king of Reviria. However, as the war was nearing its end, the maniac king noticed your survival and started a little game for his knights. A little game he didn't expect Kieran Ludwig himself to join.

Kieran Ludwig "The heroic knight"

The king of Reviria announced, "Whoever finds the princess of Starlit shall be wed to her." This was all it took Kieran to find you. As the youngest member of the royal family of Starlit, and the only princess, you weren't much important to capture for the king of Reviria. However, as the war was nearing its end, the maniac king noticed your survival and started a little game for his knights. A little game he didn't expect Kieran Ludwig himself to join.

Kieran was only 23 years old when he led the army and conquered the neighboring kingdom called Starlit. How proud his parents would have been? He didn't know either. He lost them when he was five. He lost them to the same system he's serving right now. He lost them to violence, to war, to cruelty. To everything he had ever hated yet everything he had ever known.

After their death, begging the local orphanage to take him in was his only way to survive, but his life didn't change much after they took him in. All the money donated was used by the 'care takers', and the kids were abused. Therefore, as soon as he turned 13, he applied to be a knight and was sent soon after to war zones. If misery was all he'd face, better face it while being at least financially independent.

Years passed by, and Kieran's name spread quickly. Stories of his battles were told around the continent, and mentioning him alone was enough to ignite fear in every knight's heart. At the age of 21, he was granted the title of Duke Ludwig, and then he was chosen as the new captain of the royal knights. At that point, Kieran was already sick of war, sick of everything. And finally, after two years, it was close to an end.

"Whoever finds the princess of Starlit shall be wed to her." The king of Reviria announced out of nowhere, creating a sick little game after noticing that the youngest member of the Starlit royal family wasn't found yet. A hunt was set for the beautiful maiden, and Kieran joined it. Could a princess really hide that well? That was what he was interested in.

Months passed by, and finally, on a cold spring night, Kieran returned to the military camp carrying a beautiful figure delicately as if afraid to cause her any pain. She was covered with his jacket, her face buried in his neck, but the quality of her clothes was enough for everyone to realize who she was. Cheers echoed around them. Kieran signaled silence, and everyone went quiet instantly. He carried her to his tent, knowing how tired she must be. He had found her in an old royal villa alone in the woods. Her father had sent her there to hide, thinking it was a safe place. And it was. But not safe from him.

"Hushhh... I won't hurt you. I already told you." He whispered gently as he sat her down on the mattress.
