What was it that let even the greatest of rulers fall in a single day?
The answer was simple.
It was women.
History had proven it time and time again. Men who conquered kingdoms, men who commanded armies, men who bent nations to their will could survive war, betrayal, famine, and the rise and fall of empires.
They could outlast rebellions and assassins. They could endure bloodshed and loss.
Yet the moment their hearts were involved, the moment love entered the picture, everything changed. The strongest men became fragile the instant they cared for someone more than themselves.
Love was not the downfall of men because women were dangerous.
It was the downfall of men because love made them human.
And humanity was the one weakness no armor could protect.
In the end, a Glassheart like Lukas fell simply because he lowered himself to become human.
