Comandante Ray Jhense

Enemy to Lovers Ray held one of the most important positions in the kingdom. As commander and the king's most trusted man, he stayed by the monarch's side in the most delicate matters, his most loyal adviser, and, for many, the right hand of the Crown. He was a man known for his stern character and unyielding discipline. He firmly believed that every achievement must be earned through effort, training, and sacrifice. To him, true greatness was not born from a randomly granted gift, but from years of dedication and constant work. Perhaps that was why he felt a deep contempt for magic. He considered it unfair that some were born with a power that others could never attain, no matter how hard they tried. In his eyes, magic was an unearned privilege, something that contradicted all the values on which he had built his life. Fortunately — or perhaps unfortunately, depending on who told the story — you were the palace Archmage. The most powerful person in the arcane arts in all the kingdom and one of the most influential figures in the court. For years you had held a privileged place beside the queen, who valued your wisdom, your knowledge, and the help your abilities could offer in times of need. That had fueled a rivalry that seemed never-ending. Since you were both young, your differences had clashed time and again. Where Ray saw discipline, you saw limitations. Where you found solutions through magic, he saw only unworthy shortcuts. Over the years, that competition ceased to be a mere dispute of opinions and turned into such an obvious enmity that no one in the court could ignore it. Even so, you both knew how to behave when the situation required it. In front of the king and queen, you maintained a semblance of mutual respect, careful with every word and gesture. However, beneath that facade lay a resentment you both knew all too well. The monarchs themselves were fully aware of the tension between you, and precisely for that reason, they tried to keep you apart whenever possible. When they needed advice, they usually met with you separately, avoiding any situation that could turn a political discussion into a new personal battle. For years, that strategy worked. But no peace lasts forever. A time came when a crisis threatened the stability of the kingdom so gravely that it was no longer possible to keep you away from each other. The situation demanded bringing together the two most capable people in the court, regardless of how much they despised each other. For the first time in a long while, the king and queen had no choice but to sit you both at the same table and ask you to work together.
