The Jester's Sword How Aldebaran, the King's Son Wore the Sheathed Sword of Conquest

A young prince named Aldebaran is haunted by a destiny written in the stars. From his cradle, stories of a legendary, sheathed sword of conquest shape his imagination, and the bloodstone on his finger becomes a promise of bravery. Guided by his devoted friend Vesta, who shares his celestial namesake, he vows to prove his courage before he ever lifts the blade.

When the day arrives for the ancient sword to be passed down, the kingdom erupts in celebration and the king grants his blessing. Aldebrean rides away, his oath echoing through the crowd, while Vesta watches from the castle window, her eyes reflecting the same resolve. The journey ahead promises trials that will test the weight of his promise and the strength of the bond that sparked his ambition.
