[NOUR]
The kingdom and the palace were changing.
It was like there was a new wave that they needed to face.
And as Nour recovered from his heat, he knew he had to decide. He had to either step forward or stay away altogether because being on the sidelines or even with one foot in and the other out wouldn't do it anymore.
Acrod needed stability, and with the reports Nour had been getting and the new revelations, he knew he was up against something far more sinister than just being the holder of the Acrod crown.
Now he understood why his father didn't want him to even stay beside the crown. Because that was a jail on its own.
The crown came with responsibilities. Way too many, judging by the bundles of reports that had been piling up in their bedroom.
He had wanted to ignore, to pretend like this was nothing, but after Don Refugio's wake, after Alessio had so brazenly killed the old man despite knowing he was an acquaintance of Nour, the prince knew that the time was now.
