The Waning Fortune of Thalindor
Thalindor, a kingdom known for its rich history and prosperity, is now facing a decline. The "tree of heirs," which is somehow connected to the well-being of the realm, isn't doing well. Prince Adrien and Vera are worried, but they know they must keep the truth about the tree a secret from the people to avoid panic. Adrien knows that the tree will only bloom when the true successor emerges, but his own health is failing, and they need to secure the future of Thalindor quickly.
A Royal Union
To secure Thalindor's future, a marriage is arranged between Prince Ryan and Princess Seline. The parents hope that this union will help the tree bloom. However, there are concerns about whether the marriage will work, as Ryan is seen as someone who lives in a dream world, and Seline is considered too proud. As a wedding gift, both the parents give them a horse named Skira, which has some magical properties.
Princess Seline's Reality Check
Princess Seline, full of arrogance, goes for a tour, expecting a grand ceremony. But nobody shows up. When she asks a villager about it, they don't even recognize her. Skira tells her that she doesn't care about the people anyway. Seline then witnesses the suffering of her people and the decaying crops. This experience makes her realize the plight of her kingdom. Instead of the ceremony, she decides to help her people.
Prince Ryan's Dream vs. Reality
Prince Ryan is not taking his responsibilities seriously. He declares that dreams are more important than reality and punishes anyone who wakes up before noon. Skira, the horse, reveals herself as Neithra, a mythical being, and confronts Ryan about his ignorance of his people's suffering, his wife's rejection of her ceremony, the failing tree of heirs, and his father's illness. Ryan dismisses it as a dream and wants to enjoy it.
Neithra's Guidance
Neithra creates a bubble around Ryan, forcing him to witness the suffering of his people, his wife helping them, and his father's illness. Ryan tries to break free but finds a flower instead of a sword. He hears the screams of his people and feels helpless. Finally, he expresses his desire to help them and wakes up a changed man, grabbing his sword like a trained warrior.
The True Heirs Revealed
Ryan apologizes to his father for letting him down. His father and Neithra tell him that Thalindor's heart beats because of him and that he turned things around just in time. Neithra explains that Thalindor thrives on pure-hearted, wise, and kind leaders, and Ryan and Seline are the perfect combination. Their union was chosen to reveal the true heroes within them. With his time coming to an end, Ryan's father leaves Thalindor in their capable hands. Neithra is revealed as a guardian of realms who awakens the best in people. In the end, Neithra brought together two hearts, united by love and respect, destined for prosperity.
