Cecil had spent much of his youngest years contained well within the walls of Baron castle, and he'd never thought much about that fact. It was simply the way that his life worked, and he didn't much care to change it. The castle was a big place, and it housed an extraordinary number of people. A world of people, the adopted prince had thought.

There had never been anything beyond the castle until Kain had bullied his way into Cecil's life. The impetuous blonde had been the one to take the prince beyond the gray walls that had always defined the perimeter of his world, had expanded the realm that the younger boy lived in to the horizon and beyond. Exploration and travel became common occurrence and it had amazed Cecil for the longest time just how much could be learned from adventure alone. As his world expanded, so too did his understanding of his own place and purpose, and the adopted prince came to deeply admire Kain for giving him such a gift.
