Reforged Kingdom

Prince Bruno sat in his study, a map of the Kingdom of Elysea sprawled before him. The candlelight flickered against the polished mahogany table, casting elongated shadows across the chamber. His mind was split between two pressing matters—his impending marriage to Lady Amélie de Vauclerc and the far-reaching administrative reforms that would redefine the kingdom's governance.

His engagement was settled, but securing a queen was only the beginning. If Elysea were to thrive, it needed more than noble alliances and courtly traditions—it needed order, efficiency, and modernization. The era of fragmented feudal governance had to end.

He turned to Antoine Leclerc, his closest advisor, who stood by the fireplace, observing the prince with keen eyes.
