The Elf King’s Palm Oath

A human youth with special blood enters a contractual marriage with the cold, haughty Elf‑King out of political necessity. The union initially serves only as leverage between realms. Gradually, the Elf‑King is moved by the young man’s resilience and wit and lets down his guard. They jointly face court plots, noble revolts and foreign invasions. The cold political bargain blooms into deep‑seated love. Together they reshape the co‑existence order between humans and elves.
