To the hearts that fought each other, only to surrender to fate.

They say some stories begin with love, gentle glances, soft smiles and quiet promises but this was never one of them.

This was a story born in pride, in the echo of clashing names and inherited grudges, where every word was a weapon and every silence was a storm waiting to break.

Two souls, bound by circumstances not by choice stood on opposite sides of a war they did not start, yet somehow, they became its fiercest players.

In palaces adorned with gold and hearts guarded by steel, they learned that hatred is never as simple as it seems and love is never as gentle as it is told.

Because sometimes the same fire that threatens to destroy you is the one that keeps you warm.

And sometimes, the person you were taught to fight becomes the one you cannot bear to lose.
