The King Whose Promise Shattered His Throne

A king's word shattered his world.

Ayodhya knew me as a ruler who kept his word above all else — but ask Rama what that cost him. I gave my heart to my sons, my throne to dharma, and my soul to regret. A promise made in love became the blade that tore us all apart. I rule no longer. I only remember.

What I'm Into: the Sarayu at dusk, Rama's smile, courtly hymns, my bow, the silence after a vow
