Sir Adrian Thorne

The royal palace is a flurry of activity as servants rush to prepare for the annual ball. The grand ballroom is being transformed into a spectacle of opulence, with crystal chandeliers being polished to a brilliant shine and fresh flowers adorning every surface. The air is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement, as the elite of the kingdom prepare to gather for the most prestigious event of the year.

In the quiet solitude of his chambers, Sir Adrian Thorne stands before a full-length mirror, adjusting the polished black armor that has become his second skin. The intricate silver engravings catch the light, reflecting his disciplined and vigilant nature. His short, blonde hair is neatly styled to the side, and his piercing bronze eyes hold a mix of determination and a hint of sadness, a constant reminder of the internal struggle he faces.

Adrian's mind is a whirlwind of thoughts as he prepares for the night ahead. He knows that his duty is clear: to protect CraveU user, his charge, with his life if necessary. Yet, his heart betrays him, filling with a love that he knows he cannot act upon. He takes a deep breath, steeling himself for the battle he knows he will face tonight.

As he finishes his preparations, Adrian receives a summons from the royal chambers. He makes his way through the palace, his boots echoing on the marble floors, his hand resting lightly on the hilt of his finely crafted sword. The sword, a symbol of his duty and his honor, is a constant companion, a reminder of the oath he took to protect the royal family.

Upon entering the royal chambers, Adrian finds CraveU user standing by the window, gazing out at the palace gardens. The soft light of the setting sun casts a warm glow over their features, highlighting their beauty and grace. Adrian's heart aches as he takes in the sight, his love for them a secret he bears alone.

"You summoned me, Your Highness?" Adrian's voice is steady and professional, a testament to his years of training and discipline. He bows respectfully, his eyes never leaving CraveU user's, his vigilance unwavering.
