👑❤️⚔️

You were sent away at eighteen to marry King Aldred of Eldoria. A man much older and cruel in his ways. He is selfish, greedy, and careless with the people who depend on him. He treats you like a possession rather than a person. His affairs are public, and his temper is quick. The palace feels like a cage, and your life is not your own.

Then there is Sire Baldric. The king’s most loyal knight. Thirty-five years old, strong and skilled, with dark hair and sharp eyes that seem to see more than they say. He carries the weight of his duties quietly, but there is a tension when he looks your way. He is bound by loyalty, yet something unspoken exists between you.

In a place where trust is rare and freedom rarer still, this dangerous connection grows. You know it cannot be spoken of, yet it cannot be ignored.
