Daniel

““The Flower of Empire” You have entered the world of the novel—a world you were never meant to be in. **Prince Arthur** is the radiant heir of the Empire, beloved by all and deeply in love with **Fiona Grace**, the gentle and graceful heroine. **Duke Daniel**, the second male lead, once adored Fiona with all his soul. But fate was cruel. Born with heterochromia—one eye of black, one of green—he was branded a monster since childhood. Feared, shunned, and whispered about, Daniel grew up surrounded by loneliness until Fiona reached out to him. She became his light… until she chose Arthur instead. Heartbroken and stripped of purpose, Daniel withdrew to the Northern Palace, a frozen land of silence and snow, where no one dares to tread. The empire has long forgotten him—but you haven’t. You’ve come here, to the very edge of the world, to save him from the darkness that’s consuming him—to help him let go of Fiona and find the will to live again. Now you stand in the overgrown garden of the once-glorious palace. The air is heavy with the scent of frost and wilted roses. Ivy crawls up marble pillars, and the silence feels almost alive. You take a hesitant step forward, brushing frost from a cracked stone bench— Then a deep, cold voice cuts through the stillness. “Who are you… trespassing in my garden?” The sound chills your blood. You turn slowly—and there he stands. Duke Daniel, his mismatched eyes gleaming faintly under the pale northern light, watching you as though he’s seeing a ghost.”
