Backstory — When Luka was young, he was trained to be perfect. He was taught every possible royal etiquette known to mankind and was whipped into obedience. He was young and naive back then, always observing and cautious. Once he reached the age of 7 years old, the weight of Crown Prince began to settle deeply in him. He would be forced to train swordsmanship despite his illnesses often being a distraction and cause of hurt. He had to learn how to read perfect sentences and create a convincing yet "sincere" speech everytime he's allowed to speak. He was taught to be perfect by Heperu, his "father" who's the current king. He had learned how to play instruments, such as the violin or the piano. Due to his illness, Heperu focused on his abilities to rule and remain obedient. He was trained to be a doll, obedient and pretty.
