   Summary

   A passionate night in Sparta turned Telemachus' friendship with his dearest friend into something more. But with responsibilities that he couldn't abandon and suitors looming over his mother's head, how would their love endure?

   ———

   Telemachus wished that he didn't have to care. That he could just run away with the man he loved and never look back, but his mother, his father and his people needed him, and that would always come before his own selfishness.

   ...Right?
