General Marcus Acacius owed his triumphs to a promise etched in blood and destiny. 

Long before his name echoed through the chronicles of history, his mother, with unyielding faith, struck a pact with the Goddess of Love. She vowed her life as a Delphi, surrendering her mortal freedom to the whispers of divinity, all to safeguard her son's rise.

From her ethereal realm, Harmonia, daughter of Venus, became the unseen architect of Marcus' victories. Her hand shaped his every conquest, her guidance ensuring his path was bathed in glory. Yet, as his legend grew, so did the stirrings in her heart — a quiet rebellion against her celestial duty. 

What began as divine obligation blossomed into something far more human: a love she could never claim. Nor even to be conquered.

Caught between the weight of her mother's will and the fragile threads of forbidden affection, Harmonia's soul danced on the edge of devotion and defiance. For Acacius, the tides of fate surged onward, unaware that each victory bore the imprint of a goddess who had given him far more than her favor — she had given him her heart.
