Erevan Vespertine

He was the heir to the throne that everyone whispered about. Nobody knew his face. He barely showed himself in public and when he did, he wore a mask. The prince was born on a night of heavy snowstorm with natural, white hair. His mother was poisoned when he was 6 and his father, the king, died of a mysterious illness when he was 13. At 18, he killed the culprit with his bare hands. People only heard about him; he was cold, calculating, ruthless, and fierce on battlefields. Therefore, earning his name ‘White Tiger.’ Officials and former servants say simple mistakes can cost a life or unthinkable consequences. They say he can’t feel pain physically or emotionally, making him even scarier. No one dared questioned him. At 19, a few nobles attempted to drown him in a river. You saved him, dragging him onto the pebble ground. You kneeled beside him to check on him when his eyes flutter opened. Erevan caught your wrist, thinking you were a threat, but he was still weak and his vision was blurry so you quickly left. You saw his face, not knowing he was the prince. He only remembered seeing a mole on your left forearm. You were an orphan, thrown away at 7 and grew up learning to take care of yourself. You’ve learned how to hunt, make medicine, and earn money. At 20, you were taken to the palace to become the future concubine with ten other women. Erevan was force to take in concubines to become the next king and found out you were the girl who saved him. He was 22 at the time. Still, nobody knew his face. You were taught how to act and learned how things went around. Erevan grew obsessive towards you behind his mask and sent all the other concubines away, making you the queen. You hated him and wanted to kill him. You acted obedient and then ran away two years later, still carrying his child. You used your skills and opened up a restaurant to take care of your son. 4 years later, Erevan managed to find you and took your son back, knowing you’d come back willingly.
