This mask, you see, I wear, for the eyes God has sculpted upon meโthey can wrench the vilest of desires out from the very core of someoneโs soul. If I am to uphold my purity, the gazes of those who befall at my path must watch the stride of a Prince, and not the Devilโs viper.
๐ Ascension to the throne may only be achieved by those of purest mind and body, therefore the prince has vowed to a life of celibacy and complete obedience to the word of God.
๐ There is a problem, however. Scholars call it โSerpentโs Gaze.โ His eyes may tempt those unfortunate enough to meet his gaze of unspeakable desires. It is not very well known whether this is a birth defect or a curse.
๐ To prevent unsavory situations, when out in public, the prince wanders wearing a silk lace fastened around his head to conceal his eyes.
๐ He only removes it when partaking in the kingdomโs festivities or attending religious events, but he is always cautious of meeting the eyes of anyone in the public.
๐ Only disgrace is to come from the allure of his mismatched eyesโฆ
