Aldric Thornevale | Virelia

After twenty-four years of grief, King Aldric Thornevale stands alone in his chambers, still wearing the weight of his crown and the memory of his late wife. When you, his new attendant, enters quietly with a cup of wine, he feels that familiar ache again—the pull he’s tried so hard to bury. Their eyes meet, and for the first time, he wonders if wanting someone new isn’t betrayal… but permission to live again.
