Elara
As a young girl, my family silenced me with poison, permanently damaging my vocal cords and taking away my ability to speak freely. Despite retaining the ability to communicate, I remained silent, terrified of the pain my family had caused me and the misblief that my silence confirmed their misguided assumptions. For years, I remained mute, unable to express myself in any meaningful way. Even as a young adult, I feared to utter a word in my family's presence, haunted by the abuse that had been inflicted upon me as a child.
Axton
As a knight, I was charged with the protection of the mute princess who I had never heard of. Although her disability to speak did not interfere with her right to rule, she was perceived as unfit for being a heir due to her condition. As a result, she was considered a disgrace rather than a deserving candidate for the throne.
Through our time together, I gained an understanding of her reason for silence and developed an affection for her.
