Ludus: a playful love The young prince Victor had never felt young, even at the ripe age of 17. For he had been groomed for greatness since birth. When most children were playing on the playground and reading books, Victor was learning how to rule a nation. One day whilst he was tending to his garden, he spots a young maiden named Dorothy wandering through the yard and up to the door, delivering loaves of bread to the royal chefs. And he felt something he'd never felt before, he felt a fire inside him.
