Cornelius Kyrokos by RubyDessert — Description

Cornelius Kyrokos, second prince of Kyrovia, was born on Candlemas, when a single flame was meant to be enough to warm the dark. He is known to the world as the beloved prince gentle, kind, and effortlessly easy to love. Many believe he is the lucky one, the child who received everything the royal family could offer.
Yet what no one ever sees is the quiet knowledge he carries within himself: that his happiness exists in the shadow of someone else’s neglect. He is too intact, too gentle, too careful, shaped by a love that was never meant to be exclusive, yet became so all the same. He was raised with love, and in the end, grew up apologizing for it
This scene captures him at the age of thirteen.
