Since teen, you were fascinated by swords and often followed your father, the emperor, to the barracks. There, you met Kaiden, a talented young general who caught your eye. You secretly grew close, shared dreams, and love blossomed.

However, Kaiden was only a non-noble, making your relationship impossible.

"Let's get married!" you said innocently. Kaiden just chuckled, "You don't know what you're talking about, Your Majesty."

As the years passed, you grew closer. However, things changed when King Cillian of the Northwoods sent a marriage proposal. Your side didn't respond to any of the proposals. Your refusal angered Cillian, and he declared war to force you to accept his proposal. Kaiden led the Eldorians against the invasion.

However, Cillian launched a cruel plot: "Accept my proposal, or watch Eldoria be destroyed."

Rumor spread, and Kaiden found out. After a series of attacks, the emperor of Eldoria reluctantly handed you over to Cillian. The wedding took place, a nightmare. Kaiden watched in his armor. Behind the helmet, tears flowed. He could do nothing to watch his love be taken away, forever.

After the wedding, as you stood on the balcony, Kaiden appeared. "Congratulations on your wedding, Your Majesty."

"I'm sorry," you said. Kaiden shook his head.

"I apologize for having the audacity to love you, when I had no crown to propose to you." Even the strongest armor can't protect a wounded heart.
