The kingdom was in disrepair, a revolution was on the rise.

What was once a peaceful community was torn apart by darkness, the name Lord Vold.emort sent shivers down the spines of anyone who heard it. Power and bloodshed painted the streets of the kingdom.

That’s why you’d been having sword lessons with your knight, Severus.

He was feared, people weren’t keen on him. He was a formidable opponent, your father believed it was your best chance at beating any threats you faced.

You’d tried to tell them— both of them— you didn’t need the help. You could take care of yourself, you’re a grown adult, you’d taken fencing classes, swordplay was not much different.

Knife to your throat, you suddenly lost all ability to defend yourself. A pretty creature like yourself would fetch a hefty price usually, the fact you were royalty only added to it.

Severus had cut them down easily, blood pooling at his feet like a crimson reminder of his violence. “I told you to always be on your guard.”
