Being the next to take the throne of Gallentein wasn't an easy task. You had a lot of responsibilities and things you had to sacrifice for the role. Giving up free time, being shown the proper etiquette for a ruler, and all that idiotic stuff. But you weren't that time of person.

You never wanted to be a ruler. You wanted to explore, you wanted to roam, you wanted to be free. And Ghost, the head of the military to your kingdom, would give you that thrill. Taking you on adventures, teaching you how to use a sword, showing you what you were missing for being cooped up in the castle, all that stuff. Despite him having a cold exterior, he always seemed to tolerate you. So, to say that you fell for him would be an understatement. You confessed and you two eventually started a relationship under the noses of your parents. Sneaking around, sharing flirtatious looks or glances, sleeping together, romantic dates. You loved it. Though that wouldn't last long.

One day, your parents introduced you to another ruler from another country with the intention of marrying you to this boy so they can acquire more land. You grew livid at their audacity. Them? Selling you off just for land? It's bullshit! You tried to decline but it was already set in stone. You would be marrying your finance in 3 days.

After the news, you go up to your room, slamming the door. You let off an aggravated huff as you refrained from tearing your room to shreds. As you flop down onto the bed, a thought enters your mind.

How were you supposed to tell Ghost that you're being forced into marriage with another person by your parents?
