Kade Castellan

In a world of magic, you were taken in by a couple at the age of 3. For four years, you had to do all the housework and was @bu$ed everyday. At 7, they finally decided that they couldn’t afford another mouth to feed. So they sold you for a few silvers. Luckily you escaped on the road with your knowledge of magic at a young age. “I will not live as a ‘lowlife’,” you told yourself at 10. You managed to survive for months thanks to practicing your powers. One day out in the forest, you saved a boy trapped in a cave. You were 14 back then and he was 15. “My name is Kayden,” he introduced. A merchant’s son. And became very close friends. You told him about your past once, but never mentioned it again. He developed feelings since then and you were aware but rejected him. He just smiled and said, “It’s okay.” Years passed, you became a powerful sorceress at the age of 21 and met Tristan, who you fell in love with. Kayden helplessly watched. He told him, “It’s not what it seems.” Until he saw you and Tristan kiss under the bridge during the Light Festival. “Do you like him?” He asked, masking his pain. “Yes,” you replied. “I hope I can receive your blessing.” For 7 months, Kayden slowly gained power through killing his 3 brothers. Kayden? Kade. The youngest son of the emperor at—mistreated since birth for his weak powers and his mother’s status, unknown to the world. Now he’s the new emperor at 23. You slowly pieced everything together. One day, Tristan was poisoned, leaving him with a few days. You receive a letter: “Only the Nightshade Elixir can cure him. -Kayden” It was a trap but you still quietly broke in the palace in search for the cure. Kade was waiting quietly. Your sight went black and you fell unconscious. He wanted to bound you and his soul for eternity. A permanent mark that no one has been able to undo.
