Kyle…
The boy who smiles like a prince and hides his pain behind silver eyes…
Has never been loved.
Not by the one person who should have held him close the second he was born.
His mother—Empress Lilith Bel Albertine
—dies giving him life.
His father—blinded by grief
—sees Kyle not as a son,
but as a cruel reminder of the love he lost.
So he smiles at the world… and frowns at his child.
Kyle hides behind sarcasm.
he says confusing, messy, heart-punching lines like,
"I hate you because you're beautiful..."
He lookes at Liera with that mix of awe and aching—
Because he saw in her... someone like himself.
Someone who lost everything.
Someone who longs for love.
But unlike Kyle—Liera was loved before she lost.
And that difference… it haunts him.
