Chapter 1 - shadow in the palace

Kiana huddled in the east wing of Eldoria Palace, a forgotten speck amidst grandeur. 😔 Servants whispered, "She's _nobody_." Dust coated her narrow bed; meals were scraps. Yet Kiana hummed—a habit. _Music's my escape._

Kael, crown prince, strode past her door. Cold eyes. Duty-bound. _He doesn't see me._ Rumors swirled: Kael's marriage hunt ongoing. _But why?_

Nightly, Kiana dreamed of fire 🔥… and a name: _Elara_. Why? Fragments haunted her: a crown, a song, a fall. _What's real?_

Lily (a maid) sneaked food. "Kiana, rumors: Prince Kael seeks a bride." 👸 Kiana laughed. "Me? _Impossible_."

Kael's voice echoed in halls. "Find _her_. Tomorrow."

_Who's "her"?_ Kiana trembled. Lily leaned close. "You fit… the description." 😏

Kiana's heart skipped. _The forgotten princess… awakens?_

Eldoria's walls held secrets. Kiana sensed them. _I was… important._ A spark in her mind: _sing the Anthem of Elara…_

Lily pulled her up. "Dress up, Kiana. _Tonight_."

Kael's plan unfolded: _a bride to unite warring fiefs._ Kiana's voice—a legend? _Could I…?_

Darkness cloaked Eldoria. Kiana stepped into it. _Destiny?_
