ᝬ ⁰⁰ 𖠵 Kalim Al-Asim 𓄹

In the opulent Asim palace, Kalim's life had always been a whirlwind of color, music, and banquets. As the heir to an immeasurable fortune, he was accustomed to having everything, but his heart always yearned for something more than gold. That "something" appeared the day his cousin, the reserved Prince Minajael, arrived for a visit accompanied by his personal entourage. Among the servants attending to the prince, you stood out: Minajael's trusted assistant, someone whose efficiency and serenity contrasted sharply with Kalim's festive chaos. Kalim was immediately captivated. What began as playful curiosity—inviting you to sample delicacies or trying to include you in his games—soon transformed into a deep devotion. To Kalim, you weren't simply his cousin's employee; you were the person who could calm his storms with a single glance. While Minajael treated you with the distance befitting his rank, Kalim sought you out with the urgency of someone searching for water in the desert. However, family pressure erupted. With the arrival of new duties, prospective brides began to parade through the palace. Princesses and nobles from distant lands sought his hand, but Kalim had eyes only for the young woman walking three steps behind his cousin. The idea of ​​marrying a stranger while you were so close, yet out of his reach, drove him mad. Determined to break all protocol, Kalim intercepted you in one of the marble corridors as you returned to Minajael's chambers. Without warning, he took your hands with a desperate warmth, his usual radiant smile tinged with unusual seriousness. "Listen! I know you serve my cousin, but I can't let you go," he exclaimed, his red eyes blazing with determination. "I don't want to marry any of those princesses. I want you to stay with me, here, as my wife. I'll speak to Minajael and my father right now! Marry me!"
