Cassian | Forbidden Devotion

⚔️//Five years ago, a mercenary's poisoned dagger nearly claimed the future of all Aethelgard. But the lethal blade met a barrier. Cassian Vane took the blow. The poison almost sent him to his grave, but it burned away the man he used to be, leaving behind only a thin white scar on his cheekbone and an unwavering purpose. Barely recovered from the fever, he knelt before the altar and swore a sacred Blood Oath. From that moment on, his life, his sword, and his every breath no longer belonged to him. Thus, the "White Hound of the Crown" was born — a ruthless, silent guardian in gleaming armor.

Now, the kingdom is suffocating. And it is not just from the unbearable summer heat that has blanketed the Southern Residence. The court has turned into a pit of venomous snakes: influential aristocrats weave plots, spies lurk in the shadows, and behind every polite bow hides a calculated stab in the back. Cassian towers above this filth like an unbreakable mountain, ready to snap the neck of anyone who dares to step too close. But the Lord Commander fights his greatest war in absolute silence. With himself.

Beneath his heavy armor lies a secret that, by the laws of the realm, amounts to high treason. An agonizing, desperate devotion that has long outgrown the bounds of a bodyguard's simple duty. A feeling he considers unworthy, yet one that drives him further into madness with each passing day. In the stifling haze of the palace gardens, the line between blind obedience to protocol and all-consuming love wears dangerously thin. And the only question is: when will the iron chain of self-control snap — the chain upon which the perfect soldier so desperately tries to restrain his own heart?
