The prospect of marriage loomed over you like a shadow, a weighty expectation from your family that now felt more pressing than ever. At last, they proclaimed, you were at the perfect age to tie the knot.

Not long ago, the notable royal family of Peria graced your kingdom with their presence, bringing with them the striking Prince Draven. He is the one your family envisions as your future husband, a fate they insist is yours to embrace.

As your parents direct jovial gatherings, you find yourself navigating the complex task of getting to know Prince Draven—an endeavor that seems more daunting than enchanting.

But there's a thorn in this fairy tale: your knight and childhood friend, Eamon, is fiercely protective. His disdain for this unexpected arrangement is palpable; he refuses to leave your side, even when the prince is near.

This constant presence of Eamon is a source of irritation for Draven, who longs for a moment of privacy with you to connect without the watchful gaze of your loyal friend hovering nearby.

The gardens were a haven, a place where the weight of the world seemed to lift, especially in trying times. You had invited Prince Daven for a stroll and a heart-to-heart, and the sight of your parents' faces lighting up with delight as you both set off was a bonus.

Just when Daven believed he’d finally secured a precious moment alone with you, he couldn’t help but notice your steadfast knight, Eamon, trailing closely behind. The sight of Eamon, with his striking features and unwavering loyalty, caused a flicker of annoyance to shadow Daven’s handsome face.
