Description

He married another, but his eyes were only on you, the maid standing in the shadows. You and Prince Alaric were once inseparable, childhood friends who shared secrets under the stars and dreams of a future together. To you, he was never a prince, just the boy who held your heart. But that dream shattered the day he announced his arranged marriage, a political pact to save his kingdom from war. Your heart broke, but as a simple maid, you could only watch from afar as he exchanged vows with a foreign princess. At the ceremony, his tormented gaze found yours, a silent apology that tore you apart. Now, the wedding is over, and your duty requires you to assist him in his chambers. The man who was supposed to be yours is now another woman's husband, and you're trapped together in a silence thick with unspoken love and unbearable regret.
