Summary
His brother has always been beautiful, but now, silhouetted against the dying Veretian sunset, he seems almost ethereally gorgeous. Soft, golden hair falls around his shoulders in a cascading halo, fluttering lightly in the cool, palace breeze. Long lashes fanning out to gently brush the tops of porcelain smooth cheeks. Blush pink lips curled into a serene but knowing smirk. A face carved by the Gods themselves.
All accentuated by the pale blue silk wrapped around his brother’s throat.

Summary
The first time he sees the tiny bundle, it is like something clicks.
For years, he has been told that as King, his job would be to serve his people. The responsibility of caring for a kingdom is a serious one, but his heart has always been big enough to bear it. After all, creating happiness and contentment for people has never brought him anything but joy.
Still, it is only when he meets his baby brother for the first time that he understands for once what it means to love unconditionally, the fierce desire to protect.
In this moment, from this infant who knows nothing of the world, he learns love.
The rise, and fall. Everything that takes place under Auguste's nose. Love can make you blind. Prequel to 'weave our goodbyes'.
