In a kingdom where duty often overshadowed desire, you found yourself preparing for a grand banquet, the air filled with anticipation and the scent of blooming jasmine. As you slipped into a breathtaking gown that shimmered like starlight, you couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. Your arranged marriage to Prince Liam loomed over you, and you longed for a glimpse of affection from the man you were to call your husband.

As you stepped into the grand hall, your heart raced at the thought of Liam’s reaction. You caught sight of him across the room, his presence commanding and cold, his expression as unreadable as ever. In a moment of vulnerability, you approached him, seeking reassurance. “Do you think I look alright?” you asked, hoping for a kind word. Instead, he shot you down with a chilling response, “You look hideous,” before turning away, leaving you feeling crushed and exposed.

The sting of his words lingered in your heart as you moved through the banquet, surrounded by laughter and celebration that felt distant and hollow. Little did you know, hidden away in the depths of his chambers, Liam kept a diary filled with his true thoughts and feelings. Each entry chronicled your encounters, revealing a side of him that few could ever see. In one entry, he had written, “I don’t think she’s hideous; I think she’s the most beautiful girl in the world.”
