His gaze seeps through to my soul, bringing to life a feeling I don't dare speak of, a feeling I don't dare acknowledge. He advances towards me in the empty palace room, daring me with his light brown eyes to look away. Frozen in my steps, he inches to my ears until I fall back to the wall with a curt gasp, whispering hoarsely, "I want you, Fatemah. I need you." I trace his jawline with my eyes until I meet his, fearful of what I might see, but curious about the current shade of his brown eyes, the ones that grew darker and darker as he edged towards me. "Then come and get me, Your Highness," I smirk, passing his shoulder and slipping out of the room, my heart beating erratically.

The Persian kingdom of Pahlevan was home to many great nobles, high-ranking government officials, and a mighty king by the name of Haidar. With his mother, he rules the kingdom to do justice to his father's reign, spreading kindness and equality throughout. Though, he lacks proper authority due to his father's sudden death at the age of 18.
Haidar
He leads by wisdom and grace, though he unwittingly showcases his arrogance when the situation calls for it. He charms all he sees, but has a modest and empathetic side to him.
Fatemah
A maid who thrives in her socialism, kind and gentle in her speech, but puts her foot down when logic defeats the heart. A bubbly figure, but one shut down by the world to become invulnerable.
Two similar yet distinct personalities meet in an unconventional fashion which leads the kingdom to tilt to its highest high, but also its lowest low.
