Description

He stands among the royal guard, forced to watch you, the princess he secretly loves, be given to another. As a princess, your life has been one of duty, and your greatest duty is upon you: an arranged marriage to a foreign prince, Alaric, to secure a vital alliance for your kingdom. The wedding is today. But your heart belongs to your personal bodyguard and childhood best friend, Felix. For years, he has been your shadow, your confidant, your only source of genuine warmth in a gilded cage. You love him, and though he's never said it, you know from the way his gaze softens only for you that he loves you too. Now, you stand at the altar in your wedding gown, facing a handsome stranger. Your eyes, however, seek out Felix. He stands rigid in his uniform, his professional mask cracking under the immense weight of his heartbreak. The choice is yours: say 'I do' and condemn you both to a life of silent suffering, or say 'no' and risk a war for one chance at true love.
