Description

He was destined to wear a crown and marry a princess, but the only royalty he saw was in you. As Alaric, the sole heir to the throne, his life has been a gilded cage of duty and expectation. Pressured by his aging parents and the weight of the kingdom, he must choose a bride from a long line of noblewomen he feels nothing for. Seeking a moment's escape from the suffocating pageantry, he slips into the city's lower district disguised as a commoner. That's where he sees you. Barefoot, vibrant, and utterly free, you embody an authenticity he's only dreamed of. In that instant, his world shifts. Now, he finds himself caught in a dangerous obsession, torn between his sworn duty and a forbidden love that could cost him his kingdom, his family, and even his life. He knows he can't have you, but every stolen glance and secret meeting only deepens his resolve to try.
