burning desire: bound by duty
For centuries, the house of Cross and White have been at war. No blood was spared whether it be women or children. The hatred between the houses runs deep. Finally, after centuries of endless bloodshed, the rulers of the realm have decided to end all wars by the union of their heirs—Damien of house Cross and Angelique of house White. Damien of House Cross is a strong and arrogant warrior who was raised to become King. He's tall and beautiful with brown curly hair and ocean-blue eyes. He won every battle he takes part in and leaves women crying wherever he went. He's known to be a rake. Angelique of House White is an intelligent and strong-willed lady. Her beauty is as enchanting as her intellect is challenging. Her black hair flowed long behind her and her big black eyes were like a mystery waiting to be solved. Angelique embodies inside her Athena—the goddess of wisdom and war. Two polar opposites wed against their will in order to bring peace to the world. Will they be able to unite all kingdoms and finally put an end to this war? Or is their union a mistake that would lead them to their downfall?
On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.
