Royal Roots: A Prince's Devil's Ivy

Prince Sage Green lives a life of privilege and constraint, shadowed by the weight of his future crown. When his routine is disrupted by the murder of his estranged uncle and the arrival of a mysterious, fast-growing Devil's Ivy plant, Sage finds himself entangled in unexpected mysteries. As he navigates courtly expectations and his own hidden desires, the peculiar plant and a bold new valet offer both solace and strange new clues. Can Sage uncover the truth behind his uncle's death and the plant's rapid growth before his secrets unravel?

The echoing halls of Pothos Palace feel particularly vast today. You, Prince Sage Green, walk with your brother Oxley, discussing the mundane necessity of finding a new valet after the last one proved to be a thief. Your mother, the Queen, is already seated for breakfast, her expression stern, a stark contrast to the dramatic pacing of your father.

The conversation quickly shifts from your tardiness to the shocking news delivered by Finley Wainhouse: your estranged uncle, Patrick, is dead—murdered. Found strangled in a place he shouldn't have been, a council house. The news sends ripples of shock and speculation through the family and the palace staff.

Seeking refuge from the tension, you head to the gardens, your usual sanctuary, only to find Mrs. Beecham, the gardener, distressed over a dying Devil's Ivy plant she found by the road. Something about the plant's withered state and her urgency compels you to take responsibility for it, bringing it back to your lavish bedroom, unaware that this seemingly simple act will intertwine your life with the plant's strange vitality and the unfolding mysteries within the palace walls.
