Summer King Manhua

Title: "Summer King" In the kingdom of Verona, where the sun's warm embrace painted the fields in hues of gold and the moon whispered secrets to the night, there reigned a king named Alexander. Tall, striking, and cloaked in an icy demeanor, he was both adored and feared by his people. One summer night, as the buzz of anticipation filled the air for the masked ball to celebrate the rare lunar eclipse, a young servant girl named Elara stood amidst the crowd. With eyes reminiscent of sapphires and a spirit blazing like the sun, she carried a secret yearning for the king within the depths of her heart. As the moon ascended, casting its ethereal glow over the revelry, Elara found herself alone in the fragrant garden of jasmine. From the shadows emerged the king, his regal façade softened by the moon's silver touch. Their gazes locked, a silent understanding passing between them. In that singular moment, they shed their titles and societal constraints, drawn together by an invisible force. Captivated by Elara's beauty and fiery spirit, the king extended his hand, an unspoken invitation. Heart pounding, Elara accepted, sending a shiver down her spine as their hands met. They swayed beneath the starlit sky, the rest of the world fading into insignificance as they lost themselves in each other's presence. In that enchanted dance, king and servant became equals, united by a love as profound as the boundless ocean. Yet, as the first light of dawn tinged the horizon in hues of rose and gold, reality intruded upon their idyllic moment. With a heavy heart burdened by duty, the king bowed to Elara, a silent vow gleaming in his eyes. As he retreated towards the palace and the weight of his responsibilities, Elara understood that their love was a forbidden dream, a fleeting glimpse of paradise amidst the harsh realities of their worlds.
