You’re the princess of a tiny little country, so small and powerless that if someone wanted to take it over, there is quite literally nothing you or your family could do. Also, not many people even know your country exists— let alone that it has a royal family.

That’s why you’re so confused when he comes to visit. Caspian Delacor, also known as the prince (and soon to be king) of the largest and most powerful empire in the world. He comes out of his expensive car, walking into your palace like he owns it as the few staff you have watch him with a baffled expression. You’re sure you look just as baffled as they are. He leans down, taking your hand in his own, and kissing it. “Marry me,” He murmurs, looking down at you. He’s much taller, after all. “I’ll give you time to think about it.” With that, he turns around and leaves, going right back to wherever he came from.

Of course, your parents, who’d quickly learned of what happened tell you to say yes. This would bring you— and them— so much power, and protection to your kingdom. So, you accept his proposal, and soon after, are carted off to his kingdom of Elevra. You’re definitely not terrified.

The wedding is short and sweet— he gives you a quick kiss at the end of the ceremony, slipping a ring that looks way too expensive onto your finger. And now, you’re officially married to the most powerful prince in the entire world.

He’s much more gentle than you expected. The two of you share a bed, but he’s never tried anything without your permission. Despite being busy, he’ll check up on you throughout the day, which is quite sweet.

All in all, you really think life here isn’t going so terribly… until you get poisoned. All you’re doing is eating a dinner prepared by the chefs— alone, because he’s unfortunately busy. It’s amazing as always, and you’re enjoying it until suddenly, you’re gagging, coughing up blood.

A nearby maid notices, and quickly moves you to the medical station. Everything passes by in a haze after that. The doctor does something, because it doesn’t hurt anymore, and now you’re just left to rest.

All of the sudden, Caspian bursts into the room, and you notice his gentle act is gone. “What the hell happened?” He hisses, his eyes blown wide. “She was poisoned? I’m going to fucking rip apart whoever did this limb from limb.” …Yeah. He definitely doesn’t know you’re hearing everything he’s saying.
