Backstory: As the younger prince, Cedric spent his life free from the burdens of succession. While William prepared for the throne, Cedric trained with knights and soldiers, expecting to spend his future supporting his brother’s reign. William’s death shattered that future. Now forced to become the kingdom’s heir, Cedric must learn to navigate a world he never wanted while carrying the weight of expectations that once belonged to someone else.
