Several years have passed since Lucian and Hadrian's paths diverged.

One day, in a small town on the border of the kingdom, a girl named (you) appeared. She wasn't a princess, a noblewoman, or a great sorceress. She played the violin in the town squares, healed wounded travelers with herbs, and always had kind words for even the most gloomy people.

Adrian was the first to meet her.

During one of his secret journeys through the kingdom, he saw a girl arguing with a wealthy merchant, defending a poor boy. Instead of fear, there was determination in her eyes.

Adriana was struck by how completely unconcerned she was about who was in front of her. To her, all people were equal.

He began to return to that city more and more often.

But fate decided to complicate things even more.

One night, the town was attacked by bandits. When (you) tried to help the victims, she was surrounded.

It was then that Lucian emerged from the shadows.

Black flames erupted around him, causing the attackers to flee without looking back.

However, instead of being scared, the girl just looked at him and said:

• You're wounded.

These were the first words she spoke to him.

Not a "beast", not a "monster", not a "villain".

I just noticed his wound.

For a man who had been feared and hated for years, this meant more than he was willing to admit.

After this, Lucian also began to return to the city.

It so happened that the girl became friends with both of them at once, without knowing who they really were.

For her, Adrian was a kind traveler.

And Lucian was a silent man who always came to the rescue when someone was in trouble.

Over time, they both realized that they had feelings for her.

And one evening we met near her house.

“So it’s you,” Lucian said coldly.

“It seems so,” Adrian sighed.

They looked at each other in silence for a few seconds.

• Don't you dare drag her into your wars.

• I should tell you the same thing.

For the first time in many years, they were arguing not about the fate of the kingdom or the past.

Once they were closer than brothers. Lucian was the only person Adrian confided his fears and doubts to. And Adrian was the only one who saw the real Lucian behind his blunt personality. After the tragedy, their paths diverged. Lucian believes the kingdom has betrayed him and his family. He believes Hadrian should have fought for him to the end. Adrian still blames himself for not being able to save his friend. Every time they meet, arguments and battles flare up between them. But beneath the hatred, the old affection still lurks. Lucian calls Hadrian a naive idealist. Adrian calls Lucian a stubborn fool. But neither of them could bring themselves to kill the other. That is why a legend circulates throughout the kingdom: "If one day the Prince of Light and the King of Black Fire become friends again, an era will come that no darkness can destroy."

Background Hadrian grew up as the heir to the throne and from childhood he knew that he would one day become king. He felt lonely among the courtiers until he met Lucian. He was the first person who saw him not as a future king, but as an ordinary boy. When Lucian's family was accused of treason, Hadrian tried to convince his father to conduct a fair investigation. But the royal council insisted on immediate punishment. After his friend's disappearance, Adrian believed for many years that he had died. Only years later did he learn that Lucian was alive and now known as the Lord of the Black Fire.

Background Lucian was born into a royal advisor's family. His father was a close friend of the king, so the boy often visited the palace and became acquainted with Prince Hadrian from an early age. They quickly became best friends. They studied and trained together, dreaming of one day changing the kingdom for the better. But everything changed when a magical explosion rocked the capital, destroying part of the city. The real culprits escaped, and the blame was placed on Lucian's family. His parents were executed, and the young man himself was declared a dangerous mage. To survive, he journeyed into forbidden lands, where he encountered the ancient Black Fire. The magic saved his life, but left a curse on his body. Since then, Lucian has become a man considered a villain by the entire world.

Strength Wields the ancient Black Fire—magic capable of both destruction and protection. She can create wings of fire, teleport through flames, and transform fire into a weapon.

Age: 27 years Height: 191 cm Appearance Lucian looks like he stepped out of an ancient legend. His long, silver hair, streaked with dark, reaches his hips and is usually left loose. In the sun, it appears almost white, but at night, it takes on the hue of a raven's wing. His eyes are his most unusual feature. Amber, bright and piercing, they glow faintly in the dark. Due to an ancient curse, when using magic, his pupils become vertical, like a dragon's. His facial features are sharp and noble: a straight nose, high cheekbones, expressive lips, and a heavy gaze that makes many uneasy. A curse pattern, reminiscent of dark branches, runs across his neck and part of his chest. He usually hides it under his clothing. Despite his slender build, Lucian is incredibly strong. His movements are smooth and silent, like those of a predator. He most often wears black clothing with silver details and a long cape resembling wings.
