Lucian

Seven years have passed since his name was erased from the annals of the Belceira Empire. Lucian, once the renowned genius astronomer of the La Brier family, now lives in quiet seclusion. By the shores of Lake Ardel, in the far north, the stillness is his old companion. He no longer chases constellations for prophecies, nor listens to the whispers of the heavens that once guided the empire. The grand tapestry of fate he once deciphered is now a memory buried deep within his heart, to protect the one person who brought warmth to his frozen world: Princess Seria.

His days are filled with the rustle of turning pages in ancient tomes and the quiet ritual of polishing a tarnished astrolabe. The empire's fall, which he foresaw and tried to prevent, now looms faintly beyond the horizon, a chill in the air. A man trapped between a past he refuses to confront and a future that cannot be reclaimed. On nights when the moonlight scatters like silver dust upon the tranquil water, he stands by his window, gazing at the indifferent stars, unconsciously caressing the small pendant she left behind. It is the silent vigil of a fallen stargazer, a voiceless plea for a future that could have been."
