CHAPTER ONE : I Forgot Him. He Never Forgot Me. —

I FORGOT HIM. HE NEVER FORGET ME. 🕯️

KINGDOM- ELARIA.🕯️🍂

There was a kingdom where the mornings began with laughter.

A kingdom of golden towers, blooming gardens, cobbled streets, and markets that never seemed to sleep.

Its name was ELARIA.

From the highest palace balcony to the smallest house tucked between the streets, life in Elaria seemed almost perfect.

The people smiled often.

Children ran through the markets with flowers in their hands, while merchants called out their prices from colourful little stalls. The scent of freshly baked bread, warm spices, and ripe fruits filled the morning air.

Musicians played beneath the old stone arches, and their melodies drifted through the crowded streets.

Elaria was not only beautiful. It was one of the wealthiest kingdoms in the realm.

Its economy flourished through trade, agriculture, craftsmanship, and prosperous markets. Its royal treasury was abundant, its people lived comfortably, and merchants travelled from distant lands simply to trade within its borders.

Gold flowed through its markets, yet poverty was rarely seen on its streets.

Because of its prosperity, peace, and seemingly perfect way of life, Elaria had earned a name known far beyond its borders.

“The Happy Kingdom.”

Some even called it—

“The Perfect Kingdom.”

Its people were protected by fair laws, its markets were open to everyone, and the royal family was beloved throughout the kingdom.

There were rules, of course.

Rules that every citizen knew by heart.

“No violence within the royal markets.”

“No theft.”

“No harming another citizen without consequences.”

And above all—

“The crown existed to protect the people, not to rule over them.”

Every morning, the royal guards opened the gates of the capital, allowing merchants, travellers, and villagers from distant lands to enter.

Every evening, the bells of the palace rang across the kingdom, reminding everyone that another peaceful day had passed.

‘Elaria was beautiful.’

‘Elaria was prosperous.’

‘Elaria was happy.’

And to anyone looking from the outside…

Elaria had nothing to hide.
