- “I saw him many times as I walked the Emperor's Garden's and each time I wondered about him. Where most people didn't outright insult him, as he was the prince everyone heard the things they said in whispers. Everyone heard the insults about his club foot. The talk of how shy he was. Everyone called him a coward, and I suppose I was no better then the fools insulting him, for I didn't defend him. I never defended him once. Right up until the moment he stopped me from dying I never defended him. ”

Sophia Tovendown, and Ormand Franz first met when they both attended the University of Aldorf as young children. Learning in the same classes the two were always close by eachother but she kept her distance as most called him a coward and only his royal status kept their insults to a whisper. For his part he had a cush on her and found himself constantly watching for her, and when one day when he went to watch her pick flowers he could not find her, and prepared to leave when he was stopped by the sounds of her screams. Running to where she was she found her being chased by Stefan Illindron of whom stopped when he saw Ormand causing Sophia to run into Ormand and cry into his shoulder as two members of the Imperial Guard came and took away Stefan. Taking the crying Sophia back to the Royal apartments with him he let her sleep after she forced him to promice to keep what had happened a secret, and leaving her sleeping in his room he left while he found her friends and guardsmen and told them that she had fallen ill while in the gardens and the Royal Doctors were tending to her.
