Synopsis

Prince Louis aims to solidify his power by forcing Nox, a rising talent from a dark family, into a public spar, framed as a test for worthiness to use the Ark River. Nox understands that whether he wins or loses, the Prince's goal is to humiliate him and his family. He is aware that a loss will enhance the prince's reputation while a win will be twisted against him, making the spar a pre-determined scenario for the prince's benefit. Despite this understanding, Nox contemplates a way to overcome the seemingly inescapable trap, hinting at a potential for an unexpected outcome.
